She really stretched as I want her to be. Under to 36W CFLs. I put a glass dome on the plant and remove it from time to time to keep the humidity high. No fan, yet. I started to give some nutrient with very small doses 0.25 ml/liter.

D16-There were some browning on the tips of the leaves. So I decided to go safe and transplant it into the soil. It was my first Jiffy Tablet experience and I am glad to be back to the soil. The days started to get hotter and the temperature rises up to 30 celsius with lights on. Hope it doesn't go above 30-degree Celsius.

D22 - It is the 6th day of planting in soil and the change is amazing. She grows very fast. Topping: I pinched the plant above the 5th node to mail-line the plant in future. D24 - After the topping, I gave two days to her to recover herself. I want to have two main branches. To achieve this, I removed 4 new emerging stems and left only 2 stems in the middle. For those stems to get more light (and grow more), I removed the top two leaves, too. I watered her, sprayed and left her to rest. Watering schedule decreased to 1 in 2 days which I interpret as she will need a pot change within a week. D27 - I change the pot to 11-litre regular pot. Her growth was stalled due to topping, but I hope she will recover quickly after changing the pot. I always put Bat Guano to the soil when I change the pot. Powder Bat Guano 100% dissolve in the soil after 10 weeks and it coincides with the mid/late flowering when she is growing vigorously. It is fertilizing the plant even after the flush with. I flushed the whole pot to merge soil with the plant.

D30 - She started to grow so well after putting the dome.

Day 37 - She fully recovered from topping. I defoliated her a bit to open the new stems to get direct light (so they can grow). I used electrical wires to bend the two main stems. I really love using these wires as you can use them very easy to have a wide canopy like in ScROG method. I did these two hours before the night cycle so she will have the night to recover fully. (Actually I took a video while doing this, but it seems I did not start recording. Sorry for that.) Day 38 -This is how I LST and mainline the plant in video.

D47 - She is growing very well. To increase the light penetration, I defoliated the plant and let the sunshine in! D48 - She is recovering well. D49 - Parent Mode: My family visited me for a few days. I told them that I am using the extra WC as a storage unit! The only problem is the 4 Fans of the LED light, as they are making some noise and I only have an old wooden door. As a solution, I made a potable CFL unit and those 2 CFL's are just great for a few days of silent grow!! Important Note: Make sure the CFL's don't drop on top of your plants, sad story! :) (not this time but there was an occasion when I killed two clones :))

D54 - She is growing just fine. However it is a bit slower than my previous growth, and I think that this strain might grow a bit slower. I keep plucking one pair of stems and leaving the next one. I also LST new growing stems. Beast - Cats are rally attracted to this plant and mine is always asking for it.

D59 - She is growing very fine and looks fine. I defoliated her to ensure all stems receive direct light to grow. I did not pluck the latest stems as I am planning to make clones of her. She is my final JR and I might want to preserve her. Watering cycle decreased to every day which means she will need a pot change soon. D61 - She already recovered from defoliation. I am increasing the nutrient level 1 ml per each watering. The watering schedule is 1,5 litres every day.

D64 - I randomly defoliate the plant but I don't spend too much on LST as she doesn't need it that much. Today I fixed the LST and defoliate the plant to give light to the developing stems. Some of those new stems will be used to make clones. D65 - I changed her pot to her final one. The root development was good and there were not any problems. The new bigger pot has more flat surface and curved edges which makes LST easier with the wires. D70 - She is growing very well!

D71 - This will be the final week of vegetation as I already run out of stock. I am waiting one more week just to give enough time for growing to stems that I will take as clones. She responded very well to the increased amount of nutrients and I am giving the twice of the recommended doses this time. - I defoliated the plant again and fixed the LST to have a wide canopy. - The temperature outside is decreasing and I will have better conditions when I switched to flowering. As I will open both Flowering and Vegetative lights on, the heat jumps to 30s Celcius. This is another reason waiting for another week. D76 - She continues to grow, I continue LST. I gave a root complex with the latest watering and next week I will start giving flowering nutrients and switch to 12/12.

D78 - Actually today she is still in the vegetative stage because I want to initiate flowering after I give the Flowering nutrients but the soil is still wet. D80 - Yesterday she got her first 12 hours of darkness and today is te first day of flowering. D81 - I defoliate her at the beginning of the flowering to ensure that all stems got direct light and they also grow into big buds.

D90 - She is just growing without any problems. I continuously defoliate and LST.

D97 - I defoliated her a bit more than usual as I will not be able to attend her for the rest of the week.

D101 - The overall grow is going very well. Last week I run out of Bloom Complex and I gave a mix of Phosphorus Plus and TNT (Some NPK). The bud development started to get dense this week. Unfortunately due to being away and busy when I came back. I couldn't pay much attention and just did minor touches.

D106 - Finally some buds started to appear in the fifth week of flowering. The bud growth increased significantly and it is a sign that this girl will grow big. She didn't run any problems including the humidity, temperature, pests etc. everything goes very smoothly. As I couldn't attend the girls last week, I spent an hour to do a proper LST and now she came back with a full-wide open canopy. Due to limited space, I had to put her a bit aside (rather than directly under the light) to give some space to others... Not all of them are at flowering but this White47 (my own fem seed) had to switch flowering as it spent two days under 12/12 (mandatorily). Now they are growing side by side. Previously I did not experience any problem with this kind of growth but it is okay by being a bit more cumbersome. After last LST, she did not require anymore and she started to get dense, instead. I continuously remove the leaves blocking the light of any bud. I believe that this way the lower buds gets dense, too. D111 - This flower is trained to be under the direct light with a wider canopy. After her sister had to fit in the same room, I changed her LST and create a space for White47 coming on board.

D116 - D119 - She doesn't need too much attention. LST stopped. I continue small defoliation by removing the leaves blocking the direct light to any buds. She stopped increasing in height altogether and only grow buds. The distance between the buds started to decrease. At the fourth week, I pollinated three branches but until now I couldn't spot any seed growth. But I just spotted one unformed seed on a branch I just cut to get a taste. Taste Note: I fast dried one of the small buds which is blocked by other bigger buds. It seems it started to get potent as even small dose with fast dry it still gets you high :)

D123 - She totally stopped stretching and the buds are getting dense. I still give double the amount of nutrients suggested by the manufacturer and there is still no sign of an over-nutrient problem or any nutrient burn on the tip of the leaves. No LST required anymore, probably I will need to tie the buds after two weeks but that's it. Very few defoliation of the leaves by only taking out the ones shading the buds. Seed Development: As you might read earlier, I pollinated three branches with the previously produced from a female plant (by spraying Collodial Silver over the flowering). I just identified some seed at a few branches. They are not the branches I pollinated unfortunately, but the ones closest to them.

D127 - The trichomes are still half cloudy at the beginning of week 8. I will wait until I seem some (15-20%) amber trichomes to harvest. I believe it will take another 2-3 weeks to mature altogether. Seed Development: I am finally able to have a clear look at the seeds. They are the pollination male AK47 x Jack Herrer (female). I hope that they will be mature when it comes to harvest. Unfortunately, I was a bit late to pollinate but it seems I still have a chance to produce seeds. D132 - The trichomes are still half-cloudy but closer to milky. Give or take 95% of the pistils turned brown and curled in. Today I gave a liquid BatGuano to her and will stop the nutrients from now on. I am also planning to give some blackstrap molasses and flush her in the upcoming 1-2 weeks.

D134 - I stopped giving liquid-ready nutrients and gave liquid BatGuano on the first day of week 9. D137 - FLUSH - I usually use my bathroom to flush the plant. The ph is around at 7's but I think she is having her way around it so I don't check the PH (which you shouldn't do unless you know that you tap water is okay to use.)

D141 - I always prefer some CBD in the buds and usually wait a bit longer until some of the trichomes to turn amber before harvest. In addition to some calming effects, the buds are getting denser in the meantime. Less words more pictures this week! Next diary will be HARVEST in 4 days!

It is not hard to grow but the overall bud development and final yield are relatively low. It started flowering a bit late but the bud dense and the trichome production was moderate.
