First time “Fred” short for Fredricka

JoeReefer_Jones Planted on 04/20 no soak just in potting soil (basic no FFHF) Watering with 15 spritz from spray bottle daily. Pic 5/4

JoeReefer_Jones Seemed to be happy in the natural sun so I started hardening for transition to outside. Purchased 15-15-15 (PWD) fertilizer to add to plant shortly.

JoeReefer_Jones Added granule fertilizer and hardened plant 4 hours outside 2 hours direct sunlight 2 hours shaded

JoeReefer_Jones Nice vertical growth looking like something now. Outside for 6 days. Still alive !

JoeReefer_Jones Cruise control or so I thought doing well in the sunlight a few rain storms causing me to monitor plant and water when needed.

JoeReefer_Jones Flowering beginning!

JoeReefer_Jones Had to move plant around a bit , seemed not to bother Fred

JoeReefer_Jones Once I saw buds, I started 15/30/15 fertilizer once every 10-12 days. I thought it would help the miracle grow potting soil.

JoeReefer_Jones Saw some yellow leaves. Did some pruning before I looked and asked if I should. Slapped my own hand and said “Bad Daddy” but what was done was done.

JoeReefer_Jones After seeing the gains of other 2 plants in larger pots, and against a good gut feeling I replanted in a larger container. I mixed basic potting soil with fertilizer with heavy nitro and pot ash. Added organic transplant fertilizer to bottom of transplanted plant. Filled around original shape with potting soil and fertilizer mixture. Plant was watered 48 hours prior to transplant. Then watered into new container. I prayed over her....

JoeReefer_Jones After transplant couldn’t tell if she went veg, but bud seems To be coming along.

JoeReefer_Jones Buds looking good well to the untrained eye. Seems to not have too many issues with bigger pot. But is she ready?

JoeReefer_Jones But is she ready?...Knowing I have more plants that will be ready shortly and reading too many articles I decided to do something rash. The micro -mushrooms seemed cloudy but not amber at all. Sorry no pics of those. But being it’s my first grow I decided to cut her head off! Start my drying and curing process if she was weak when ready no big deal just wanted to get the dry/curing under my belt. So off with her head!

JoeReefer_Jones So Fred has survived all my mistakes and even my impatience. Honestly saw spotting on the leaves and was worried about mold or something else I could’ve done. The trichomes seem to have a cloudy glaze and I saw some amber ones. Hoping I’m not getting delusional. Plant has been flushed and only receiving plain water. Last fertilizer feed was 07/02. Knowing I may have delayed it’s ready date but happy I don’t see any mold I’m satisfied with the smaller buds. Again it’s the first plant. “Did you see it.... it was a horseman... and it was headless!” J. Depp voice But is she ready!?! https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/24948753-aa60-4b66-a081-c536aeb95ab8

JoeReefer_Jones So a little frustrated with site added photos to every freaking week and only some came through. So this is the pictorial view...

JoeReefer_Jones Great plant, curing now the real test will Be in 3 weeks when fully cured the right way.
