Only 4 days in. I’ve got a serious thing for BF, I’ve yet to have a bad seed from them and this dates back to 2002! Will be growing more that’s for sure. This one came recommended and Indo enjoy some blueberry as a night cap. Week 1 finished extremely well, nice green healthy seedling 👍. Only perlite, coco and little bit of Rhizo Blast and droplets of calmag this week. Usually once I see roots for at the base I immediately tranaplant, this should come in the next 7 days where she will be dusted with mycorrhizae that I forgot to add but is getting some Rhizo as a root enhancer/stimulator. Cheers to all Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦

It’s go time now, first two weeks are always slow and steady is what wins the race so very little attention to the plant itself I’ve been more concerned with establishing the proper growing environment for this young lady. Leaves are a little funky looking but after todays transplant and dusted of Myco she should be re-invigorating.

She fell over between transplant so its obvious she’s had some trauma. Will keep a close eye but I’m sure the will do just fine. Goal is to maintain temps and humidity at 80/60 this week. Was moved under 95W QB 3k

Look 👀 at my bush! Probably the one I’m most excited about BF combined with blueberries god damn how can’t you be. Few days waiting on her sister to grow up and flower here we go. Drinking around 2.3L per day it’s ridiculous when you control all environmental factors added with Mycorrhizae its a deadly combination. Automatic watering system would be welcomed with recommendations, Stay safe and keep it green!

3 Days into 12/12 was absolutely time with a 3x3’ tent also limited in height itll be a pain managing the height hopefully she remains true to her 💯 % Indica heritage. There is no doubt in my mind she will produce a hefty harvest.

I didn’t take pictures before defoliation but these pics are from after the fact So you can only imagine. So many bud sites she should be stacked!!! The game plan is to move her into a 5 gallon once I get a chance this week. Glacial, 2-8-4 and some kelp meal will be used.

It’s not quite week 3 flowering, more so 2.5 wks. I had no choice but to remove a dozen of inner shoots because of how dense the canopy is. Should be it for defo until harvest. This weekend will mark 4 weeks since the last top dress so it’ll be a nice mix included in next wk update. I transplanted into bigger pots with a mix of glacial rock dust, 2-8-4, Kelp Meal.

3.5 wks into flower, received her final top dress. She is full of buds everywhere just a shit show, bad job on my part pruning this girl. I could of pruned more aggressively to promote more energy to the top buds and reduce the amounts of larf but honestly I find the larf perfect for a bowl or even in the grinder very limited stems in them. I will know if ever I grow her again in the future. I’m looking fwd to see the bud quality produced from this girl. Currently she hold plenty of long pistils Over so many bud sites just a beauty.

Not expecting any massive colas but it should come out half decent. My biggest concern will be bud density. Next time I grow this strain pruning will be extensive and more detailed to this strain. When you don’t know you don’t know. You guys can only imagine the smells coming out of my tiny tent.

If you don’t like sweet smells don’t bother growing 😂 I don’t even know what the smells is but if this remains I should have some delicious 💨. She was obviously fed plenty nothing really more than what I normally feed but they mostly all got overfed by the look of those burnt tips. Might be that second application of Dynomyco and the disastrous attempt of transplanting where I also premixed some feed. At least I know they have plenty of feed for the remainder only hoping they bulk up and get denser looks like a leafy bud structure, one resembling cream cookies. Time will tell it’s pretty much marking time from now on, Calmag PH’d water until they are finished bulking.

Nothing off the charts in terms of looks but it’s impossible to say she has no smell - she’s the elephant in the room. Pistils starting to turn I’ll have to keep an eye out as I’m testing out cutting calmag 2 weeks out or at a minimum 5 feeds. Stay safe!

Down right filthy! I need to grow this again and do a better job of pruning. One pic ☝️ you see those hairy bud sites down below still producing pistils after I’ve removed about a dozen each week they just keep coming. She also could have had bigger buds I have no doubt. Not looking fwd to trimming this one but she smells some delicious.

WOW👌 great job. Amazing growth in two weeks👍 Mine don't seem to grow as fast, when you are looking at them every couple of hours😵 They look the same, then all of a sudden you see pistils😛, then you know the race is on. Hope all is well Grow Big!!

flush now this strain finishes quick I cut it at 9 weeks my last and I wish I had done it a week earlier.
GreenHouseLab
GreenHouseLabcommented4 years ago
@Hudson2384, coco is my medium together with organic dry amendments it’s incredible but more so difficult to correct deficiencies. All together does require mixing but then only top dress every 3-4 weeks definitely worth the compromise 👍
Hudson2384
Hudson2384commented4 years ago
@GreenHouseLab, sorry didn't notice that. I'm in a very urban environment so mixing soil isn't really an option. I gotta go with bottled.

@Hudson2384, i don’t flush with organics just cut out the calmag and PH my water. I checked some trichomes yesterday still lots of clear. Thanks for the heads up

Wow seeing those nice bushy plants brought back some great memories when I ran this strain last year. Your about 3 weeks out but those bud sites will fatten up in the next week or two. This is a very fast strain so don't wait too long on it. Following your diary I think the next time I'm going to run this there will be significant defoliation done my next run. Thank you for the regular updates. Happy gardening.

@Hudson2384, removed another 6 shoots yesterday. This thing keep growing, lost a lot of energy not removing everything down below. Yield is not my major concern although bud quality and density #1

Hello buddy.. Hope ur well.. Great work by the way.. 👍.. Rhizo actually make a drip and drain system with a res and brain controller to set irrigation times etc.. Never used one myself but have heard gud things from pals who use them with coco and they getting gud results.. I think the system sets u bk bout £300-ish(?) tho so a bit of an investment tbh.. 👍🍀

@Jef79, hey Jef, appreciate the input i’ll check it out but I’m located in Canada. It’s almost needed when your at half gallon watering daily in a 3 gallon pot.
