👉The calixs have gotten plump and not many fresh pistols are around, just the occasional on on each cola. Fox-tailing has been more pronounced and what looks like a see has appered at the tips of a couple of colas. I have not seen a hermie bit , but the plant is big and impossible to inspect very closely. I wont be able to get a better look at it until the gorilla is out of the tent and I can move the plant into the center and rotate it. The lowest leaves around the base have started yellowing between the veins. I'm sure I'm not finished with all the little issues this plant will show. The aroma is nice and sweet, hard to smell it over the intensely strong Gorilla glue, which I just finished harvesting. To touch the buds leaves a pine sol aroma that is typical.
👉I moved thru the 8 week mid bloom mix to the 9th week mid bloom mix on the General Hydroponics Drain to waste feed chart for the Flora series. I will move to the 10th week late bloom tomorrow. I have given two (I think...at least two) H2Only irrigations (always followed by full strength fertigations. I may move to the Ripen mix by the end of the week. I think I was expecting it to take a little longer but I may have been wrong. With the plant alone in the tent now I can rotate it again and get a better overal veiw of the plant. Many of the trichomes are already cloudy and this one may finish before the buds get very plump. But that's fine, they are super frosty and dense enough. The structure looks just what a sativa bud might look like, just needs to plump up a bit.
World's away from start to finish. Thankyou for taking the time to create such an in depth diary. I learnt a great deal going through your grow with you from start to finish. Very detailed and great source of knowledge thankyou very much I hope to share my grow with you in the near future to show you just how much you helped.
@Weird_Jimmy, I really appreciate your words, my friend ;) If you want, we can send you some seeds to make a diary. Send me a PM if you like that idea.
Sweet smokes!

@Sweet_Seeds, Sorry, didnt intend to be a jerk. Its kewl, I appreciate your opinion. It re-assures me I know what I'm doing. BTW, COCO has some potassium in it and minute quantities of magnesium and calcium and a high level of salt all of which get rinsed out before planting. If there is any left in the coco it is minuscule and unavailable to the plant anyway. Before planting I rinse the coco to buffer it. This particular grow I rinsed the coco not only before putting in the pot, then for two weeks every day with ph'd pure water and monitored the run-off. This was the last seed (of 4) that I got from Herbie's, the first three all sprouted a tiny tap root, and all of them stopped after that and didnt completely germinate. I figured the seeds I got were probably a little older so on the 4rth one (the one growing now) I used an H2O2 solution. The tap root got to 1/2" and was placed in the media. It emerged from the media but couldn't shed its seed coat. I tried to let it free itself on its own but after 4 days it wasn't so I assisted it. This is why the plant is tiny. The way the plant is going now I am confident it will thrive. the days on the calendar are not an indicator of the plants age. The plant was struggling. It wasn't struggling because I was adding nutrients. And once again I didnt give it a strong dose of nutrients. I used .04EC is and the recipe is FOR seedlings doing this method. and I alternated with almost pure water...literately 98% pure medical grade H2O. My wife has told my my diaries are too long for people to read all of the details, so this diary I tried to keep it a little more basic because its a waste of time putting every little detail on here for 3 or four people to glance at every week. I am confident this plant will be like the rest of my plants and be way above and beyond when compared to the average plant that gets rewarded in the sham contests on this site. I am glad Sweet Seeds is offering more contests and hope to see more integrity in the results. This is why I chose a sweet seeds strain to grow. I cant wait to try it out! A very intriguing mix of strains for this one! I appreciate you challenging the details of my grow here. I enjoy the discourse! 😎
@Weird_Jimmy, Well, it was my point of view, and I was trying to help you. Sorry about that. The green colour in the substrate is due to high humidity. (And that's very bad for a seed). COCO has food for the first 10 days and I see you have used fertilizers at the beginning. Your plant is really tiny for day 26 so it will be a small plant possibly because it starts to flowering soon. But don't worry about it, It is only my opinion.
All the best!

Wow wow wow! Seeing the difference from day27 to now is INSANE. Your diary has me even more excited for my BLOW MIND ;)
KEEP IT UP! Youre killing it famo
@PurpleWorship, thank you! Its bud structure isnt as dense as it may look. A bit of foxtailing but it has gained some plump over the last week. Frostier than breakfast cereal. 😎
Congratulations! A great work 👏
A great harvest, with a super delicious appearance. 😍
Thank you very much for trusting our strains, and sharing your experience.
And thank you very much again for the score of 8 out of 10!! 👏😍❤️
We hope you enjoy the harvest 👌
Sweet smokes!

I believe there are some Sweet seeds strains that a shaggy. I tried ak47 from serious seeds and fruit pie seedstockers was not that shaggy. Why don't you try premium DNA or Dutch passion, man?
