Seed put into rooting cube: 6/26/2020
Sprouted above soil on: 7/3/2020
Medium:
Promix HP amended with Mykos, Azos, and Roots Organic Elemental (calmag)
Before planting into the 5 gallon pot the soil(less) was given a good 1 gallon water/food drench with the nutrients mentioned above. I find this helps start the plants off in the inert promix with the right amount of food. I continue this feed until there is 2 nodes (what I consider true vegetative state). It usually only takes a week maybe 10 days above ground and the pot usually only dries out 1x in that period of time so I only have to water one more time before they get real feed.
I only use Mammoth P and Roots Excelurator 1x a week after the initial drench, and I add them on different days of the week from each other.
I topped after the 3rd node (pulled the 4th off). I'll do this again when those new branches have 2 nodes each (pulling their 3rd). This is usually a perfect timeline to allow another full week of veg after the 2nd topping before flip to bloom. I'm very impressed with the vigor and structure already.
Day 17 from sprout. I've started using a foliar spray instead of my normal water-only foliar. 5ml/g Emerald Goddess. I just happened to see this suggested in their Amazon questions and they seem to really enjoy it. She has been topped on every node and will get one more top around day 25. Then I will let them veg for 10 more days before the flip. This usually leaves me with between 12 and 18 super dense tops.
This plant really took off after her 2nd topping. I will do some light training as I move into flower. She will get 1 more week of veg before the flip. I dropped the Root Wizard and am now using full strength Grow with the plant responding very well. She's been very thirsty as well, drinking a gallon / day (or every other day sometimes). The Pro Mix HP really does a great job of letting the plant drink and then dry out enough to let its roots stretch. I'll be using it for the foreseeable future.
Moved from the veg closet to the flower tent last night and gave her a healthy transition feed. 24 hours later and she is almost 3 full inches taller. The stretch is going to get very real with these inhouse strains
This big bush of a plant is going to really benefit from her defoliation next weekend. She has finished stretch and is focusing on flower production now, and doing so quickly as you can see from the many bud sites.
She got a lollipop and major defoliation today (ala Miami Mango #PluckTech). Day 21 and 42 of flower I take off everything on the bottom 1/3 and most of the stuff on the inside of the plants, leaving nothing but beautiful tops and mid branch flowers. I then pull about 90% of the "water" leaves.
Day 28 of flower (7 days after lollipop and stripping) and WOW! The stacks are getting tall and fat and the smell is out of this world already. EXTREMELY sweet smelling with some almost fruit punch tones to it. No gas or pine or pungentness. She is going to be super sweet!
While having not as large of flowers, this slurricane is definitely the forerunner when it comes to terps. You can smell her outside the tent (which has a carbon filter), outside the room the tent is in (door closed). Blueberry pancakes 100%. I'm really hoping for one of those reallllly white and purple phenos when she's done. Thats the prettiest slurricane
I wish I could share the smell of this plant with you. Go buy some grape faygo. mix it with a little fruit punch. stick ya nose in there and sniff. 100% this.
Day 49 of flower and this girl is so impressive! Super resinous and the smell is out of this world. If you even lightly bump into her the intoxicating scent of grape faygo and gasoline hits you like a sledgehammer. She goes into her "flush" (emerald harvest suggests a flush that uses a low amount of their base nutrients so thats what I do) starting tomorrow.
Day 57 of flower and she will definitely be pulled day 60 - 62. Her trichomes are about 5% amber, 95% cloudy with very little clear. I reiterate what I said last week: this pheno STANKS like grape soda and gasoline.
Super easy to grow, although she was little PK touchy towards the end. This strain is super smelly, dense, covered in trichomes, and sticky as a honey bun. Grape soda, tropical punch, and gasoline. These rock hard flowers were some of the prettiest to watch grow I've ever seen. If you're debating on spending some extra cash on high end breeders like In House, dont. It's worth it.
Nice work defoliating. Do you trim the fan leaves from the tops earlier so they don't shade the canopy? I started leaving the fan leaves on the bottom and trimming off the ones on top for light. Those bud stalks are going to look fine when you are done.
@oxieg3ngrows, I think its a great idea. I've been doing the same thing for awhile now. The hardest part is pruning those lower branches! I tear up every time I cut off one of those tiny little bud branches. It certainly changes the contents of your jars of herb at the end. I used to half a full mason jar full of tiny little buds. That isn't the case anymore. Now I have a lot more jars of bigger, denser buds. I do think I have a small reduction in overall yield though. Good luck on your grow!
@Quexos, i leave a couple of leaves on the top but i pull everything from the bottom 1/3 of the plant. 100% pull it. its all going to be airy flower and that energy can be used instead to make your tops better.
