👉Day 1 (11/13): Plants emerged early morning. Light height at 1 m with intensity set at two notches above 50%. 24 hours prior to placing germinated seeds in pot, the pots (3 gal.) were watered to runoff with 2 l/pot; Voodoo Juice added. Will be trying TaNg's easy auto feeding schedule, adding B-52, Voodoo Juice, Great White mycorrhizae (top-dressed bi-weekly), and Cal-Mag (when needed.) Soil is Bio Bizz light mix and perlite (70/30). Square Farmer saucers. Total time to break soil: 18 hour water soak, 36 hours in paper towel, 48 hours in soil. 👉 Day 6(11/18): Turned light intensity down to one notch above 50%. Some minor upward curling on leaves. Will water tomorrow. 👉 Day 7 (11/19): Watered with Voodoo Juice, B-52, & Great White (.25 tsp per 2 l) ph'd to 6.5. Turned light intensity down to 50%. Next watering: Water, Voodoo Juice, and B-52.

👉 Day 8 (11/20): On schedule. One of the second set of leaves came in crooked at the leaf base; will be fun to see if other new leaves exhibit similar effects 😳 Will water tomorrow. 👉 Day 9 (11/21): Watered with Voodoo Juice and B-52. 👉 Day 12 (11/24): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l) and B-52. 👉 Day 13 (11/25): She's thickening up at the base and grew over an 1" in two days--responding well to the nutrients 👍 Increased light intensity to one notch above 50%; may increase to two notches on Day 15. Light cycle switched to 18/6. Not a heavy drinker at this point. Next watering with Sensi Bloom A&B (.75 ml/l) and B-52. Next application of Great White: around 12/3. Thanks for stopping by! 😷

👉 Day 15 (11/27): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.75 ml/l) and B-52. Having difficulty with smart timer and may order another. Back to 24/0 light cycle for now. Maybe this is a sign she (and her partner) want the full light treatment 😇 👉 Day 17 (11/29): Making good progress. Noticed some minimal lightening on the tips of new growth. Will keep Sensi Bloom A&B levels at .75ml/l for the next watering to monitor health. ***Found two 6-petal fan leafs! I've grown some with 9-petal leaves, but never an even number. . . . 👉 Day 18 (11/30): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.75 ml/l) and B-52. 👉 Day 19 (12/1): Started using 90-degree clips to bend oldest fan leaves. Aiming to use the clips as LST strategy to create an even canopy. Drooping a bit, probably from overwatering. She may need a different watering schedule than her tentmate's. 👉 Day 20 (12/2): First preflowers appear. 👉 Day 21 (12/3): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.75 ml/l), B-52, and Great White. Next watering with Sensi Bloom A&B (.75 or 1 ml/l) and B-52. Next application of Great White (.25 tsp per 2 l): around 12/10. Probably switching to weekly. Thanks for stopping by! 😷

👉 Day 22 (12/4): Some leaf tucking to expose more sites and encourage branching. Little to no LST right now, since her natural shape is wide. 👉 Day 24 (12/6): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (1 ml/l) and B-52. Flowering has begun on main cola. 👌 👉 Day 25 (12/7): Leaf tucking is pretty constant, though the stretch is on. On tentmate, there's a preliminary sign of Mg deficiency. Will add Cal-Mag (.5ml/l) in next watering for this plant as well. Also lowered light intensity to 2 notches above 50%; the tips of the new growth were white. 12.5" 👉 Day 26 (12/8): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (1.25 ml/l), B-52, and Cal-Mag. Tips of new leaves have started to turn yellow, which might mean overfertilization. (I was slowly working my way up to 2 ml/l of Sensi Bloom A&B for day 30, but probably have to dial that back!) 13" height. 👉 Day 27 (12/9): 14" height. 👉 Day 28 (12/10): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (1 ml/l), B-52, and Cal-Mag. Defoliation of 50/50 lower leaves and small bud sites low on the plant. 14" height (stretch done?). Next watering with Sensi Bloom A&B (1 or 1.25 ml/l), B-52, and Cal-Mag. Next application of Great White (.25 tsp per 2 l): around 12/17. Thanks for stopping by! 😷

👉 Day 29 (12/11): 16" (2" in one day!). Guess the stretch continues. . . . 👉 Day 30 (12/12): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (1 ml/l), B-52, Voodoo Juice, and Cal-Mag. Went back to 1 ml/l on the Sensi Bloom A&B because of yellow tips on new growth. Will continue to monitor, but this is when the plant should be at 2 ml/l according to the schedule I'm following. (Guess she'll make her own mind up, though!) She is extremely bushy, which I'm used to, and I'll continue to leaf tuck and strategically defoliate when necessary (about 20% has been already). 😌 Barely any smell, but what's there is sweet. 16" height, and stretch may be ending. Looks like the main cola will be chunky. 👌 👉 Day 31 (12/13): 17" height. 👉 Day 32 (12/14): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (1 ml/l), B-52, Voodoo Juice, and Cal-Mag. 17.5" height. Defoliated lower fan leaves and some lower-stem flowering sites. 👉 Day 33 (12/15): 18" height. First signs of frost ❄️☃️ 👉 Day 34 (12/16): Watered with with Sensi Bloom A&B (1 ml/l), Voodoo Juice, Cal-Mag, and Great White (.25 tsp per 2 l; top-dress). Decided to remove the B-52 until later in flowering to see if lowering the nitrogen levels will help with the yellow tips. Removed flowering sites and stems from below the canopy, in hopes that this will promote larger cola growth. 19" height. She just keeps stretching. . . . . . . . . . 👉 Day 35 (12/17): Still stretching: 20" height. Will add back B-52 to get more nitrogen into the feed. Has a faint smell of sweet lemon. Next watering with Sensi Bloom A&B (1 ml/l), B-52, Cal-Mag, and Carboload. Will research to see if Great White can/should be added weekly (.25 tsp per 2 l; top-dress). Thanks for stopping by! 😷

👉 Day 36 (12/18): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (1 ml/l), B-52, Cal-Mag, and Carboload. 20.75" height (slight slow down). 👉 Day 37 (12/19): 21.5" height. 👉 Day 38 (12/20): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (1 ml/l), B-52, Cal-Mag, and Carboload. Still some issues with a bit too much nutrients; will cut out the B-52. (I'm thinking she's just fine with .75 ml/l of the Sensi Bloom A&B, but I'll go one more watering at the current level before considering dialing it back again.) 22.25" height. 👉 Day 39 (12/21): 22.5" height. May be settling down as flowers have started to develop. 👉 Day 40 (12/22): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (1 ml/l), B-52, Cal-Mag, and Carboload. 23.5" height. Stretchy . . . Will cut out Cal-Mag with next watering. 👉 Day 41 (12/23): 23.75" height. 👉 Day 42 (12/24): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B , B-52, and Carboload. 24.5" height. There seems to be the start of a phosphorous deficiency; will add Big Bud for a watering or two before switching to Overdrive. Next watering with Sensi Bloom A&B (1 ml/l), B-52, Carboload, and Overdrive (.5 or 1 ml/l). Next application of Great White around 1/1/21 (.25 tsp per 2 l; top-dress). Thanks for stopping by! 😷

👉 Day 43 (12/25): Smells like marshmallows--very faint. 24.5" height--same reading as Day 42. 👉 Day 44 (12/26): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.75 ml/l), Carboload, and Overdrive (.5 ml/l ramping up to 1 ml/l). 24.5" height, and I hope she's set. Hoping to increase light intensity incrementally. 👉 Day 45 (12/27): Minor leaf tucking. She's showing improvement with the increased phosphorous in the Overdrive. The stretch has stopped. 👉 Day 46 (12/28): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.75 ml/l), Carboload, and Overdrive (.75 ml/l). Sweet and gassy smells are balanced out right now. 👉 Day 48 (12/30): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.75 ml/l), Carboload, and Overdrive (.75 ml/l). Trimmed a few lower fan leaves at about 50%. (Planning on a bit of interior defoliation after the next watering.) Next watering with Sensi Bloom A&B (.75 ml/l), Carboload, and Overdrive (.75 or 1 ml/l depending on response of new leaves). Next application of Great White around 1/1/21 (.25 tsp per 2 l; top-dress). Thanks for stopping by! 😷

👉 Day 50 (1/1): Happy 2021! Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.75 ml/l), Carboload, and Overdrive (.75 ml/l); added a top-dress of Great White. Forgot to dechlorinate some tap water and used RO water this time around to maintain beneficial bacteria and fungi. Some defoliation of 50% leaves. Buds are thickening slowly but surely, and the smell is predominately gas. Reddish colors starting to show on upper fan leaves 😉 👉 Day 52 (1/3): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.75 ml/l), Carboload, and Overdrive (.75 ml/l), with some minor defoliation. May need more phosphorous, so I'll increase the Overdrive with the next watering. 👉 Day 56 (1/7): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l), Carboload, and Overdrive (1 ml/l). She's responding well to the lower amount of Sensi Bloom A&B, and the buds are stacking (just starting to swell, too). Removed three more minor branches with small, underdeveloped bud sites. Will start checking trichomes around Day 60. Next watering with Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l), Carboload, and Overdrive (1 ml/l). Next application of Great White around 1/8 (.25 tsp per 2 l; top-dress). Thanks for stopping by! 😷

👉 Day 57 (1/8): Just enjoying the smells. Will reduce Overdrive to .75 ml/l next watering. Trichomes mostly clear with <5% cloudy. 👉 Day 58 (1/9): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l), Carboload, and Overdrive (.75 ml/l). 👉 Day 60 (1/11): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l), Carboload, and Overdrive (.75 ml/l). Trichomes are about 5% cloudy, and I'll continue watering with nutrients until about 10-20% cloudy. (2-week flush planned.) 👉 Day 62 (1/13): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l), Carboload, and Overdrive (.5 ml/l) with more aggressive defoliation (only on watering days). Next watering with Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l), Carboload, and Overdrive (.5 ml/l). Thanks for stopping by! 😷

👉 Day 64 (1/15): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l), Carboload, and Overdrive (.5 ml/l) with some defoliation. 👉 Day 66 (1/17): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l), Carboload, and Overdrive (.5 ml/l) with more aggressive defoliation (removing leaves at 40-50% fade). 👉 Day 68 (1/19): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.5 ml/l), Carboload, and Overdrive (.5 ml/l). Not much defoliation needed. Still at about 10% cloudy, and waiting until 50% cloudy to start a few days of flush. Will probably start stepping down nutrients/supplements even more next watering. Tried a tester nug after a 3-day dry; pretty weak, but there was a nice psychedelic effect: something like visual pulsing in a box shape at the edges of vision. 👉 Day 69 (1/20): Turned up light intensity to 1.5 notches above 50%, and the upper leaves are only showing mild serrations on leaf edges. Trying to encourage (and speed up!) trichome and bud development. 👉 Day 70 (1/21): Light intensity at 1.5 notches below 75%; hopefully, I can gradually increase it to 75%. Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.25 ml/l), Carboload (.5 ml/l), and Overdrive (.25 ml/l). Next watering: Sensi Bloom A&B (.25 ml/l), Carboload (.5 ml/l), and Overdrive (.25 ml/l). Thanks for stopping by! 😷

👉 Day 71 (1/22): Responding well to light intensity @ 1.5 notches below 75%; hopefully, I can gradually increase it to 75%. Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.25 ml/l), Carboload (.5 ml/l), and Overdrive (.25 ml/l). At about 20% cloudy trichomes. Planning on starting flush at 50%. 👉 Day 72 (1/23): Watered with Sensi Bloom A&B (.25 ml/l), Carboload (.5 ml/l), and Overdrive (.25 ml/l). Light intensity at 75% with only minor serration issues. Lower leaves look unchanged, but new white pistils emerged; buds plumping up. 👉 Day 74 (1/25): Watered with plain ph'd water. Lowered light intensity to two notches above 50% since new white pistils started to emerge. Hopefully, the plain waterings will provide a better kind of stress. Trichomes are at about 30% milky. 👉 Day 76 (1/27): Watered with pd'd RO water. Lowered light intensity even more, to about 1/2 notch above 50%. Buds are ripening now, with 35-40% cloudy trichomes. Minor defoliation. Smells like a gassy lime. Next watering: Plain ph'd water for the remainder of the grow.

👉 Day 78 (1/29): Watered with pd'd tap water. Medium-intensity defoliation. Looks like she'll take a week more, if the leaves and her tentmate let her. . . . 👉 Day 79 (1/30): Hovering at about 40% cloudy trichomes. Will probably harvest sometime after Wednesday of this week. 👉 Day 80 (1/31): Watered with ph'd tap water. Leaves are holding up well. 👉 Day 82 (2/2): Watered with ph'd tap water. Lower leaves yellowing at a good pace. Can't get a good pic of her colors since she's so close to the light; I think the infrared interferes with some sensors in the camera. She's a beaut, though. 😏 Light schedule changed to 18/6. 👉 Day 84 (2/4): Watered with ph'd tap water with a semi-major defoliation. Noticed some newer white pistils (thought they were nanners!), so she's coming down on Day 86 after a couple of days drying. I was pretty impressed with the tester nug last week, so it's time. . . . Next watering: none! Harvest and drying next. Hoping to get a 5-7 day dry out of her.

👉 Day 85 (2/5): Lights off! Will harvest after a 24-hour dark period. Pretty happy with the grow, and excited to see if this grow improved over the last. I'll be sure to give more intense light during flowering next time, since I think the buds could have thickened up a bit more. 🤞🏽👺🌿 👉 Day 86 (2/6): Harvested! Will be doing a dry trim this time around, so I just removed fan leaves. The buds are solid 😈👽👾 Now drying in the tent at 68ºF & ≈45% RH. (Will post harvest info/page after drying, since I forgot to weigh her wet.)

TA gave me a pretty smooth growing experience. Some of the upper fan leaves were yellow-ish, but it could have been due to light intensity issues. Don't think the strain would benefit too much from topping, since her canopy was fairly even. It's okay to harvest with a lot of clear and semi-cloudy trichomes. She was harvested at about 30-35% cloudy, and it seemed like she didn't really mature over the last week. The effect lasts 2.5 hours after a short session, and a follow-up session keeps up the intensity for a couple more. 🌿😈
