I’m two weeks out from the first seed sprouting. I used a T5 during the spouting stage.
It took 3 days for the first 6 seeds to sprout and then it was pretty consistent. Sprouting a bunch and will veg them a bit before deciding which ones to keep. 10 days in upgraded to some cups for now. At 14 days since sprout, moving them under 1000w MH which I'm saying is the start of week one of seedling. Will let them grow for a week until leaves reach edge of cup and have 4 nodes. At that point, going to upgrade to 3 gal bags. I’m going to let them grow a bit before deciding to either go SoG or just a few big trained plants.
Using Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil and planning on using Fox Farm nutrients.
In tent under 1000w MH
Day 1 - 8/29 - temp and humidity looks good. Added a bit of water
Day 2 - 8/30 - really good growth from most of them after a couple days. Humidity has dropped from 50 low 40s. Humidifier on its way. Temp looks good.
Day 3 - 8/31 - fed grow big and big bloom to liter and feed them after lights on. Ph was 6.8. Going to ease them into full strength by upping a quarter dosage.
Day 4 - 9/1 - Plants popped after feeding and coloring looks good. Going to upgrade to 3 gal bags before weekend.
Day 5 - 9/2 - Water lightly With azamax 4ml/l really high Ph 7.8. Ph Up/down Arrives today.
Day 6 - 9/3 - Transplant to 3 gal bags. Water thoroughly Ph 7.2
Day 7 - 9/4 - fed grow big and big bloom with 2 liters Ph 6.8
Day 8 - 9/5 - away
Day 9 - 9/6 - returned late. Plants still moist. All of them look good after transplant.

Day 11 - 9/8 -
Day 12 - 9/9 -
Day 13 - 9/10 - Feed big bloom, grow big, And Azamax .25 gal per. Ph 6.75
Day 14 - 9/11 - Topped 5 more plants. Last 4 plants have looked deformed from the start. Plant in 1 gal is looking good.
Day 15 - 9/12 - noticed some rusty looking spots on one Lower leaf Of Plant in one gal. Will monitor.
Day 16 - 9/13 - looks like rust spots are nut burn which makes sense. Gave a small plan a lot of nuts last feed. Will flush and slow feeding
Day 17 - 9/14 - water .25 gal per, ph 6.75
Day 18 - 9/15 -
Day 19 - 9/16 - 2 plants are stretching. I messed up topping the shorty that looked great. She’s coming back but first nodes leaves will be cut. Looks like they’re drinking more as soil is drier while temp has dropped a degree.
Day 20 - 9/17 - Fed big bloom 30ml/g and grow big 15 ml/g .25 gal per. Ph 6.75. Couple plants had a minor droop so they def need water.
Day 21 - 9/18 - One week before flip to 12/12. Plants are filling out nicely since topping a week ago. Defoliated bottom three nodes fan leaves of 6 plants plus one gal plant. The canopy is more pronounced while allowing more air flow below. Fimmed one gal plant.
Day 22 - 9/19 - Plants are drinking faster. Doubling to .5 gal per plant with Armor Si 1.5 ml/g and Azamax 14 ml/g. Ph 6.70-.75 - ppm 225. Minimal runoff with slow watering. Defoliated last three plants bottom three nodes fan leaves.
Day 23 - 9/20 - No signs of stress after defoliating. Continue to grow very fast. Humidity has sky rocketed but it’s under control for now. Will buy large dehumidifier tomorrow. They are 15 inches now and I’m worried about height not knowing flower stretch. Switched to hps bulb tonight and light schedule to 6am-6pm. Week 4 is only 2 days lol.
Day 24 - 9/21 - First 12 hours of hps and 12 hour night.
Day 25 - 9/22 -
Day 26 - 9/23 - fed big bloom 15 ml/g, grow big 10 ml/g, Tiger Bloom 10 ml/g and Armor Si 2 ml/g .5 gal per plant. Ph 6.6 - 823 ppm. One plant was dropping and has dry leaves this morning so she was under watered. Soil was too dry. Cleared out space by removing small and unhealthy plants. Will remove 1-2 more in a couple days.
Day 27 - 9/24 - dried out plant is back to normal minus a few leaves having some discoloring/crispy from the stress. Live and learn.

Day 67 - 11/4 -
Day 68 - 11/5 - Water .5 gal per plant. Ph 6.65 - 225 ppm. .25 gal for 2 plants. Snipped a small leaf and reviewEd under microscope. Tones of trichomes all clear still. Snipped small lower bud to sample. Drying in a brown bag on top of cable box. Should be ready in 3-4 days. Considering trichs are so clear I expect a really light high and def plant tasting. Some buds stigmas are turning red/ brownish but it’s just slightly. Looks like we in the home stretch. It may be a bit longer than 12 weeks based on how the look. Going to take leaf samples from every plant this weekend to check under scope. Will prob do this every couple days going forward. I really only want about 5% amber. Getting excited. I haven’t grown anything since I was a kid (never did it right) so this is my first ‘real‘ attempt at growing. Based on results so far things are looking great. 😀😬😁🙏
Day 69 - 11/6 -
Day 70 - 11/7 - Water .5 gal per plant. Ph 6.65 - 225 ppm. Tried out sample. Ended up only being .5 gram so this was def a Larfy lower bud. Hoping upper buds are more dense. That being said, there was a slight smell when breaking up the bud. Packed into a raw cone and was really surprised how smooth it was. No harshness at all in throat / lungs. Very slight tasting and hard to make out the flavors at this stage. That being said, it doesn’t taste like plant/grassy so that’s a good sign. High hit quickly and was a heady, energetic high.
Day 71 - 11/8 -
Day 72 - 11/9 - Water .5 gal per plant. Ph 6.65 - 225 ppm.
Day 73 - 11/10 - Took two leaf samples from 6 best plants. 1g, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 = no amber about 50% cloudy.
Day 74 - 11/11 - Water .5 gal per plant. Ph 6.65 - 225 ppm.
Day 75 - 11/12 - leaf samples haven’t changed much. Thinking atleast another week or so.
Day 76 - 11/13 - Water .5 gal per plant. Ph 6.65 - 225 ppm.
Day 77 - 11/14 -
Day 78 - 11/15 - Water .5 gal per plant. Ph 6.65 - 225 ppm. Trichomes are about 75% cloudy with no Amber. Thinking one more week.
Day 79 - 11/16 -
Day 80 - 11/17 - Water .5 gal per plant. Ph 6.65 - 225 ppm.
Day 81 - 11/18 - Upper leaf samples show trichomes are 95% cloudy with no amber. Lower leaf samples show trichomes are 95% cloudy with 2% amber. Calyx’s are nice and swollen and Stigmas are red and curling not many straight white stigmas left. Ready for harvest this weekend. 😁
Day 82 - 11/19 - Water .5 gal per plant. Ph 6.65 - 225 ppm. Last water, letting them really dry out before chop.
Day 83 - 11/20 -
Day 84 - 11/21 - Harvest
Still really early without cure. Pungent gassy smell and taste. Taste is slight but expect it to be very strong after a proper dry/cure. Buds are covered in trichs and resin.
Really straight forward grow for my first run. Tried to keep everything super simple. Nut treatment was really basic but based on yield and Quality cants be happier.
I highly encourage newbies to run with this strain and don’t look back. Super tolerant that produces both yield and quality. Luckily I didn’t run into any deficiencies, disease, or pests. Temps and humidity where on point the entire run. The only neg would be these girls got wayyyy to tall. I had to remove light hangers to gain 5 inches. Even at that I had buds with 5 inches of a 1000w HPS HID. Hood is air cooled so heat wasn’t an issue but one plant def had light stress.
Yield and quality is fantastic. I was hoping for a pound for no real reason other than is sounds cool to yield a full 16 ounces. Even more so than yield I was looking for top notch quality and I must say these girls made it. I’m not sure if they reach the 25% THC the strain is known for but either way the can’t be far behind.
Smoke tests reveal a smooth smoke with a slight pungent gassy taste. High hit mid way thru lean cone With an energetic yet relaxing high. Lasted over two hours and I’m no light weight.
Saved tones of larf nugs, sugar leaves and fans leaves for batches of butter and maybe some hash. Wife wants some fans leaves for a skin lotion.
Overall a great run and next run of the 4 best plants is ready to go.
Update 5 days after harvest. Buds are starting dry out but still have plenty of moisture. Prob another 5 days till dry. Smell is increasing by the day becoming really pungent. Canna butter came out awesome. Planning on making some bubble hash with sugar leaves and some larf.
Update 8 days after harvest. Buds are dry enough for jars. Hanging buds weighed over 13 oz. Still have a bunch drying in racks After jarring for 8 hours, received a pungent odor. I think these girls are gonna stinkkkk. Hoping the taste is there. Potency is 👌.
What a great first experience. Happy with this smooth run with no real issues. Can’t be happier with The product at the end. I made some canna butter and tincture. Wife made some skin lotion. I have bubble bags on the way and 2 ounces of leaf matter and an ounce of larf that’ll be going thru a bunch of washes. This growing this is for me. Tons of work and time but in the end it’s worth it.
