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. Another thing I like to do is spray just normal pHd water directly on the plant with a very fine mist spray bottle. Not a fogger but just one of those bottles youd use to do hair. I do this a few times a day and it really seems to help them maintain the extra humidity. I also have a hurricane fan that circulates air in the veg closet, so if I spray water its usually evaporated / blown off in 10-15 minutes (I've had no mold issues).
This plant is even more vigorous and productive in veg than the slurricane. I'm excited to see where it takes me.
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.
I'm almost positive I got myself a keeper pheno after only popping one bean of this strain. Not only is she larger than the Slurricane, but her structure and node spacing are seriously awesome. I cant wait to see what she does in flower. 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
The stretch got VERY real with this strain. I'm excited. It isnt a bad stretch at all. Lots of nodes but it got TALL compared to the Slurricane, and probably still has a few more days of vegetative growth. This is only day 9 of flower. 100% a girl, and already shooting some small pistils. She'll get a full defol and lolipop on day 21 which allows it to fully enter flower. Then the stacking begins!
This plant is definitely impressive already. She has a very distinct and loud smell (already!) that is sweet. Defol next week is going to give me some giant colas (fingers crossed)
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). This plant is outperforming everything I've ever grown. I really regret not getting a clone or two before flipping. Maybe I'll attempt a reveg and try to save her. She smells extremely pungent like rotten fruit or something. Her colas are much more filled in and frost is already starting to show its face.
They got their final defoliation today (day 41 instead of 42) because I'm busy tomorrow. The smell of this plant is indescribable. Rotten fruit and sweet tart candy.
Day 49 with about 2 weeks left based on her trichomes. She's a little further ahead (maybe a week or 10 days) than the Slurricane and her stank is out of control. It smells like rotten sweet fruit and gas in my entire house from this plant.
