Growing much better in lighter soil mix than previous grow (added between 1-2 l of perlite to the soil mix).

I attempted LST, bent the main stalk a lot, but it was ok, but when I went back the next day, the steam "snapped", and was at a 90% angle. The outside of the stem was not damaged, so I guess I did successful HST 😅. The plant seems to be growing well, just some of the lower leaves are starting to die out. I was watering erratically, but am now starting to water with around 1.5 l every 2-3 days.

Had a bit of heat flash and not having AC, the box temperature got pretty hot, a few leaves died suddenly one night.

I am starting to get really excited, as buds are getting pretty thick, smell is extremely strong, and everything seems to be going great . Also started flushing with canna flush and tap water this week.

Everything is going great, I started seeing some light purple colors in the begging of the week, and by the end, it was glowing purple all over. The smell is even stronger than before, and all the buds are are glistening with resin. I continued flushing with canna flush, and distilled instead of tap water. I just started the final 48h blackout on day 62.

Week 9. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!
9/10
Rated
I would give it the best rating, but this is just my second grow. The result are definitely one of the best buds i ever smoked, absolutely glowing with resin. The plant responded well to my mistakes like accidentally doing HST when trying to gently bend the main stalk :D, or about 2-3 weeks of very high temperatures (30-32) in the middle of the grow. Definitely would grow again.

The resulting buds are really great, covered in resin and with a really overwhelming "fresh" smell. In the end the plant produced 59g of dry trimmed buds, and a lot of trim for butter & stuff :-). Really happy with the result.
