Day 0 - Started germinating with a paper towel and ziplock on 7 Oct and taproot was finally out today, 10 Oct. Placed her into a jiffy pellet and the humidity dome and now just waiting for her to pop out. Day .25 - Still calling it day 0 and when the first set of true leaves are developed and out, I’ll start day 1. She is up and out of the soil so off to a good start so far. Day .5 - Still calling it day 0 but she does have her first set of true leaves but want a little more development with them then it’ll be day one. She’s got a few more days in the humidity dome so presoaking the soil for her pot today. Day 1 - Gonna go ahead and call today day 1 since her first set of leaves are out and I went ahead and placed her into her 3 gallon home and tent. Not much else I can do right now but let her go for now. Day 3 - All is going well and there’s not much I can really update. Not really giving her any water yet but just misting her once a day and keeping the glass over her for a bit higher humidity. Day 5 - She’s starting to get some nice growth going for being a youngin and she’s praying to the lights right now. Still keeping the glass over her for the humidity but will probably remove it soon so the fan can get to her and start giving her some strength. Day 6 - Nothing much to speak of today, just letting her do her thing for now. Continuing to just give her light sprays of water and keeping the glass over top of her and I’ll probably stop using the glass tomorrow. Day 7 - The end of week 1 and she appears to be doing really well so far. Still not much I’m doing with her, other than lightly spraying her and I’m gonna give her on more day with the glass over her and then remove it for good.

Day 8 - Starting week 2 and she’s looking good growth wise but a little light on color so went and started spraying the foliage with Technaflora Thrive Alive B-1 Green to see if that helps her get some color back. Went ahead and took the glass off of her as well to try and get some strength in her stalk. Day 9 - Everything still going and looking good. Went ahead and gave her another foliar spray and snapped a few updated pictures. Might end up putting just a little bit more soil in the pot in a day or so to give the base of the stem a little more stability. Day 10 - Still looking good and growing healthy. I gave her another foliage spray today and also gave her a little bit of water a few inches around the base of her stem. Day 12 - Nothing much to really update today. Plan on hopefully starting some LST around the 3 week mark but until then just letting her go for now. Day 13 - Not much happening today but she did need a little water so added some in a circle on the edge of the pot so hopefully the roots will start reaching now.

Day 15 - Starting week 3 and she was starting to get some lower growth going and getting a bit tall so went ahead and started LST with her, a bit earlier than I’d like but can’t see it hurting her. Soil is still slightly moist so not worrying too much about water for a bit. Day 16 - She’s turned back up to the lights and just waiting for a little more stretching then will tie her down again. Will start working all the lower stuff once they start getting good growth going. She’s still good on water so just letting her go. Day 18 - She’s a bit droopy today and tested the soil and was extremely dry so gave her a couple hundred ML’s of plain pH’d water so hopefully she’ll be perked back up tomorrow. Gonna let her get a little more vertical growth and then will continue with the LST. Day 20 - All still going good and had to give her a bit more water today cause it was pretty dried out. Also continued with the LST so hopefully now some of the lower growth can start taking off now. Day 21 - End of week 3 and she raised back to light but a bit droopy. I didn’t give her much water yesterday so hoping she just needs some but will give her a day or two more to see how she’s doing. Her lower growth is really starting to take off now so tucked a few of those giant fan leaves to try and open her up to the light.

Day 22 - Starting week 4 and she’s still kind of droopy and tested the soil again and very dry so went ahead and gave her some water until runoff and tested it as well and came out as 6.7 pH. I removed two of the bigger fan leaves so now lower stuff is wide open to the light. Continued with LST as well so now just want her to start getting some more stretching. Next watering I’ll give her the first dose of nutrients. Day 25 - She’s looking a lot better after getting some water and she took off a bit with some growth. I had to retie and readjust some of the pipe cleaners to clear the way for more light and all is looking good now. She’s got a few pistils starting to show as well. Next watering, I’ll give her the first dose of nutes. Day 26 - Did a little bit of defoliating today and removed a couple giant fan leaves blocking everything below. Also did a little readjusting to the pipe cleaners and now everything is open for her to start stretching. Day 27 - Did a little readjusting of the pipe cleaners and such again today and all looks good. I did give her a little over a gallon of water and first real dose of veg nutes but that will probably be the only one. She’s starting to pop some pistils and such so next actual feeding, she’ll probably be in flower. Day 28 - The end of week 4 and did some more LST and adjusting of the pipe cleaners, she looks really nice and open now. Hopefully, she’ll start a bit of stretching now. I went and ship one of the COB lights off to see if that helps with some vertical growth now, thinking it might be too much light early in the grow.

Day 30 - Into week 5 and messed up a branch today and almost snapped in half trying to tie it down, so got some plumbers tape and taped her up and hoping it won’t cause too much stress to her. Did some readjusting to some other branches as well. Turning off the second light definitely seemed to help her stretch out a bit. Day 31 - She’s recovered well from the adjustments yesterday, even the branch that was snapped and taped. It’s still a little flimsy but she turned back towards the light and doing well. Did a little more adjustments tonight but very limited. She’ll need some water in another day or two. Day 33 - Did a little more adjusting the tie downs today and tied the original main branch over again to try and keep as even a canopy as I can. She should be ready for water tomorrow. Day 34 - Did a couple little adjustments today and gonna let her get some vertical stretching going before I do anymore adjustments. I also gave her the first round of bloom nutes today, now that she’s starting to show some flowers. Other than that, I put her back into the tent and did a bit of leaf tucking. Day 35 - Ended up doing a lot of adjusting to the tie downs today so now the canopy is pretty even for the most part. I think everything is nice and secure now so I’ll let her go completely vertical from her on out, unless she starts getting to big for the tent. The middle of her is pretty open now too so those bud sites should start stretching, especially after tucking the leaves.

Day 36 - Starting week and all calling it the first week of flower. Not much was done with her today, I’m gonna let her get a bit of vertical growth going then MIGHT do a little more training with her, if she needs it. Other than that she got her first dose of bloom nutes two days ago so she’s good for a bit on water. Went ahead and placed her back into the tent and did a bunch of leaf tucking. Day 37 - All is well and just waiting for the stretching to really start taking off. Didn’t have much to do with her today but removed 3 fan leaves that keep blocking the middle sites from really starting to stretch and catch up to everything else. Day 38 - Gave her 2 full gallons of plain pH’d water today since the soil was drying out. Other than that, I didn’t do any defoliating or LST, just pictures then the tent. Day 40 - All is looking good and she’s really starting to take off and stretch now. Didn’t do anything with her tonight other than some pictures and tucked her leaves when she was out back in the tent. Day 41 - She was all dried up already so gave her 2 gallons of plain pH’d water and she should be happy for a few days, next watering will be with nutes. Other than that, she’s looking gorgeous and looks like she’s gonna be a big girl. She’s got roots poking out the bottom of the pot but just gonna leave her be cause I don’t want to stress her out with a transplant. Day 42 - The end of week 6 and she’s taking off with growth and bud development is coming along nicely. I’d like her to get a little bit more into flower then might start a little defoliating because it’s becoming a pain to tuck the leaves with the growth but we’ll see when the time comes.

Day 43 - Starting week 7 and just did a little bit of leaf tucking with her today. Getting a little worried about her roots shooting out of the bottom of the pot. I really don’t want to transplant her a cause any shock but if she starts looking sickly, I may have to put her in a 5 gallon pot. Day 45 - She was ready for water today so gave her a full two gallons with nutes today. Don’t have any issues going on right now and all looks great with her. She’s starting to develop some nice frost on her and getting a little funk smell to her. Day 47 - Nothing too much to speak of today, she’s still doing a bit of stretching and buds seem to be developing nicely. Just did a little leaf tucking but will probably do some defoliating from the middle tomorrow. Day 48 - Wanted to defoliate a bit today but decided against it. I’ve had a couple of my latest grows foxtail and think it was due to stress so don’t want to take any chances with this girl. So I’ll just continue tucking leaves the best I can. Day 49 - The end of week 7 today and decided I’d defoliate just a bit, I didn’t over do it but will do a little every couple of days till she’s as opened but just hoping she far enough along that she doesn’t get stunted and start foxtailing or something. The buds are starting to fatten up nicely and a strong funky smell. She was ready for some water today as well so she got a full 2 gallons of plain pH’d water.

Day 50 - Starting week 8 and she’s looking amazing so far. Went ahead and did a little more defoliating, not much but trying to keep the middle of her and some of the lower bud sites that didn’t get even with everything else some light. I’ll continue doing some light defoliating every day or so till I’ve got her where she needs to be. Should be ready for some water in another day or two. Day 51 - Nothing much new today but did do a little more defoliating and checked the wetness of the soil and all still good and probably needs another couple of days before needing any. Day 52 - Gave her just under two gallons of plain pH’d water today and next watering she’ll get a round of nutes. Did a little more defoliating today as well and tucked the rest as best I could. She is getting opened up a bit so hopefully some of the lower stuff can start developing a bit and if not, I’ll end up doing a partial harvest, when it’s time and chop the rest after it develops more but still a ways off from that. Day 54 - No major updates really today, just did a little more leaf tucking and gave her a once over. She’s really starting to fatten up and getting really shiny with all the trichs. Held off on any defoliating today and will probably continue with a little tomorrow. Day 55 - Just did a bit more leaf tucking with her today and will give her a feed of nutrients tomorrow and will probably continue and do a little more defoliating as well. Day 56 - The end of week 8 and gave her 2 gallons of water and nutes today, she was pretty thirsty and it was time for flower nutes. Didn’t do any defoliating today but did a bunch of leave tucking once I put her back into the tent and plugged the second AGLEX light in so hopefully some more light will need her up these last couple of weeks.

Day 57 - Starting week 9 and she’s doing good from the feeding of nutes yesterday and she really seems to like the second AGLEX light on, she’s already plumped up a ton overnight. Went and did a very light defoliating tonight as well and will continue with a little each day. Day 58 - Nothing much to speak of today, she’s fattening up nicely and frosty as hell. The way things are looking, she’ll probably be harvested in two stages unless some of the middle and lower stuff really start filling in. Day 61 - She was all dried up today and needed a good shot of water, pretty droopy, so gave her a full 2 gallons of plain water today. It’s looking like her pistils are shriveling up and might be coming to an end, just a couple weeks left. From here on out, I’ll start monitoring her trichs and probably start flushing her next watering. Day 62 - Did a pretty heavy defoliation today since she doesn’t have much more time left. Buds are nice and fat and only getting frostier and fatter. Might end up doing a little more in a few days depending on how she reacts to today’s work. Day 63 - Ending week 9 today and buds are amazing right now. She’s not gonna get any more nutes other than what the schedule calls for and that’s Magical and Sugardaddy for the flush. First time using the Technaflora nutes from start to finish and impressed so far. Removed a few more leaves today as well. The trichs are mostly cloudy right now with still a few clear but hopefully they’ll amber up in the next 2 weeks or so.

Day 64 - Starting week 10 today and she’s definitely starting to fade out a bit and buds are fat and chunky. She is getting dry as well so tomorrow she’ll get 2 gallons of water with Magical and Sugardaddy to start the flush schedule from Technaflora. She’s got a real old school funky smell to her and reminding me of my younger days. Might end up doing a partial harvest and chop most of the big stuff in a week or two and let the lower stuff build up a bit before cutting the rest. Day 66 - Didn’t have time for an update yesterday but did give her 2 gallons of water with 5ML of Magical and 80ML of Sugardaddy and that was according to the feed chart. She’ll be getting straight water from here till the end. Tonight I went ahead and defoliated a little more and checked the trichs. There are a few ambers in there and mostly cloudy with a few clear still but hopefully she’ll finish up strong. Day 68 - She’s finishing up nicely and gonna be close to one of my quicker finishes. She’s all milky and starting to show a few amber trichs mixed up so almost thinking she’ll get the chop next weekend, gonna give her one more week. Soil is still a little wet so she shouldn’t need any for another day or two then it’ll probably be her last watering until she’s done. Day 69 - She’s got about 5 days left, at the most but will probably end up chopping her around Christmas time. If she’s ready for water tomorrow, I’ll give her one last drink and then she should be dried out completely but the weekend. Only catching a couple of clear trichs mixed in there and the rest are milky with about 10% amber.

Day 71 - Starting week 11 and this is most likely her last week, she might only make it till this weekend. She’s definitely plumped up and I haven’t seen a single clear trich anywhere, she’s about 90-10 milky to amber so I’d like her to get to about 25% amber before chopping. Gave her the last drink of water tonight and just letting her dry up from now until chop day. Day 73 - Just waiting another day or two for her to finish drying up and then she’ll get the chop. Leaves are really faded now and it’s making her flower colors pop. Pictures really don’t do any justice. Day 74 - Looks like I’m gonna give this girl another day or two before chopping, she doesn’t quite have the amber trichs I’m looking for yet.

Very easy strain to grow and adapted amazingly to whatever conditions. Even during the grow, I snapped a stem almost completely in half while doing LST and had no issues recovering. Looking forward to the smoke when she’s done drying.
