Day 0 - Day 0 - Started germinating with a paper towel on 13 December and taproot popped on 15 Dec. Placed her into a jiffy pellet and humidity dome and will start day 1 when her first set of true leaves form. Day .5 - Started germinating with a paper towel on 13 December and taproot popped on 15 Dec. Placed her into a jiffy pellet and humidity dome and will start day 1 when her first set of true leaves form. Day 1 - Gonna go ahead and call day 1 since she was taken out of the humidity dome and put into a 3 gallon fabric pot with Coast Of Maine soil. Gave the soil a light spray of water and placed a glass over her to keep the humidity up for her in the tent. She does look like her first set of leaves are looking a bit funky but gonna let her go and see what happens. If she doesn’t start any real growth in a day or two, I’ll start germinating another one. Day 2 - Overall she seems to be doing good but her leaves still look a little funky but she’s young so I’m sure she’ll grow out of it. Just sprayed the soil a bit and the inside of the glass. Day 5 - So far so good and nothing much to speak of right now. Just keeping to top layer of soil moist and spraying this inside of the glass for humidity. Once I get a plant or two that I have growing in the tent now, chopped, I’ll start running the humidifier in there. The soil also packed down into the pot a bit so added a little more soil so the pot is now filled. Day 7 - All is going well for the end of week 1 and still keeping the glass over her to keep the humidity up. Gave her and the soil a nice spray of water and did pour a little about 2 inches around her stem.

Day 8 - Starting week 2 and nothing to really speak of right now. Still keeping the glass over her to keep the humidity up until I get the humidifier up and running. Day 9 - Nothing major happening with her right now and got the humidifier hooked up and running so hopefully I can keep it up around 60-70%. Gave her a nice spray of water and put about 100ML around her stem. Day 10 - She’s looking and doing well still and got the humidifier running in the tent now so removed the glass from the top of her and hopefully now the humidity will stay high enough for her. Day 11 - Still not much to speak up but seems to be a little slow growing and maybe because of the lower humidity than I’d like, so may put a bigger glass over her but I’ll see if the humidifier get the tent higher or not. Day 12 - So far so good good but started giving her a foliar spray today, just some water and Technaflora Thrive Alive B-1 Green, so hopefully that will help her out while her roots continue to develop.

Day 15 - She’s coming along nicely to start week 3 but still looking a bit small but I’m sure she’ll come around. I’ll give her a few more days of foliar sprays then start giving her a light dose of veg nutes. Day 16 - A little earlier than I’d like but I did end of starting LST. She’s got a bit of undergrowth that I’d like to have start stretching. I also gave her the first dose of veg nutes today so I’ll keep an eye on her and make sure it doesn’t bother her. Day 17 - She’s pretty much standing tall again after tying her down yesterday so going to give her a little more time to get some more vertical growth going then will continue with the LST. Hopefully her lower growth will start already out a bit and then I’ll start tying them down as well. Day 18 - She dried up pretty quickly so gave her a bit of plain water today. She looks like she’s starting to get a little bit of vertical growth going so hoping I can continue with the LST soon. Day 19 - She got a little more vertical growth going so tied her back down again and now some of the lower stuff should be getting enough light to start stretching now. Will give her a bit of plain water tomorrow. Day 20 - Recovering nicely from the LST and gonna let her go a little more before continuing. Gave her some water today so hopefully that’ll give her a little growth spurt so I can get her tied down more and get the lower stuff going.

Day 22 - Starting week 4 and she’s got a bit more vertical growth going so went ahead and tied her back down and tied out a couple lower branches that were getting long enough and being blocked by other leaves and not getting enough light. Should need a bit of water in the next day or so. Day 23 - Went ahead and tied out another branch and going to let the rest get some more growth before tying her down again. She needed some water so got about a quarter of a gallon and normally after a watering she gets a good bit of growth. I also removed to fan leaves to keep what’s tied down open to the lights. Day 24 - Did a little adjusting to all her tie downs and she’s pretty opened up now and also got some decent vertical growth over the last 24 hours. Going to give her a little more growth and will tie the main branch down again. Day 25 - Ended up doing a little more LST with her today and removed two big fan leaves that were blocking the light to the lower stuff. Waiting for the the main branch to get a little more growth before I tie her down again. She needed some water as well so got about a quarter of a gallon today. Next watering, I’ll give her the next dose of nutrients. Day 26 - Did some more training with her and tied another branch or two down, also tied her main branch down again as well. She’s starting to pop some pistils here and there so she should be set up nicely for flower. Day 27 - She should be ready for a round of nutes tomorrow and went ahead and removed 4 more big fan leaves that were in the way so she’s pretty opened up now. More and more pistils showing and ready for her to really start taking off soon.

Day 29 - Starting week 5 and gave her just under a gallon of water and veg nutes today. Also did a little more LST with her and all is looking good when she’s ready to fully go into flower. Day 30 - Overall she’s good, a little bit of burnt tips on a couple leaves from the nutes but nothing I’m too worried about. Continue with some LST and tied the main branch down again as well. Day 31 - She’s doing great and did a little more adjusting to the tie downs today. More and more pistils are showing and looking forward to her starting flower. Another day or two and should be ready for water again. Day 32 - Did a bunch more adjusting to everything today and now she should be just about ready to start stretching. I did remove a couple fan leaves that was blocking a couple bud sites. She still has another day or two before needing any water. Day 33 - She’s really starting to take off now and think most of the LST is done for now, a few little adjustments here and there. Soil was just about dried up so she got a little over a gallon of water, just enough for a bit of runoff and tested it for the hell of it and tested at 6.5. Day 34 - Nothing much new to speak of other than I did end up getting some more growth from some middle sites so did some more adjusting to the tie downs. Other than that, things are looking good.

Day 36 - Starting week 6 and this is the first full week of flower. Still working some LST with her to try and get as many bud sites as much light as possible. I gave her 2 full gallons of water today and the next watering will be her first dose of flower nutes. Day 37 - All looks good after watering yesterday and got a lot of stretching from some of the other bud sites so did a little adjusting. Went ahead and tied the main site down again too and she’s looking good for flower. Day 39 - Did a bunch more training with her today and the way she’s set up now, she should be amazing when finished. Was going to give her some water and flower nutes today but decided I’ll wait one more day based on the weight of the pot. Day 40 - Gave her two gallons of water and nutes today, she was definitely ready. This is her first round of flower nutes so I’ll keep an eye on her the next day or so and make sure it’s not too much for her. Didn’t do anymore LST today, she looks like she’s ready to start her upward stretch and start packing on some flowers. Day 41 - Everything has checked good after a full feeding of nutes yesterday, not noticing any burnt tips and such so think she’ll be alright with the feeding dosage. Did a little adjusting to a couple tie downs tonight and looking forward to her taking off now.

Day 43 - Starting week 7 and everything is going great with her. She’s got all kinds of bud sites and should be a beast when she’s finished. Not much else happening and might do a little defoliating in the coming days as she’s getting kind of bushy in spots. Should be good for another couple days on water. Day 44 - Did a few adjustments to the tie downs and did a very light defoliation tonight and will do a little every couple of days. She was actually ready for water today so got 2 gallons of plain pH’d water. Day 45 - Tied another branch back down because it was getting way ahead of the rest and making the canopy a bit uneven but looks pretty good now. Other than that, not much to speak of, just watching the buds develop. Day 46 - Nothing much to speak of today other than she’ll be ready for water already tomorrow. She’s all tied down with a perfectly even canopy so just waiting for the buds to start filling in. Day 47 - Nothing much new today other than she got 2 gallons of plain pH’d water and removed a couple of fan leaves to open her up a bit more. Day 48 - She’s chugging along and looking great, I went and tied down another branch or two from the middle and opened her up a bit more. Other than that, just waiting for the next watering and she’ll get a round of nutes.

Day 50 - Starting week and she’ll be getting a round of water and nutes tomorrow. Other than that, just did a little leaf tucking and put her back into the tent. Day 51 - Did a very light defoliation today and gave her 2 gallons of water and nutes. I readjusted one of the tie downs today for one of the branches that’s getting a lot taller than everything else so trying to keep her a bit even. Day 52 - Just did a little leaf tucking today and removed a couple lower dead/yellow leaves. She’s starting to fatten up and getting nice and frosty. Day 53 - Did another little defoliating of some yellowing leaves in the middle bottom of the plant and that’s about it today. Day 54 - Not much happening today, did some more leaf tucking again and looks like she’ll be ready for water tomorrow. Just waiting for the buds to really start fattening up. Day 55 - Not much new to speak of today, she was thirsty so she got 2 gallons of plain pH’d water and did some leaf tucking. I’ll be doing a bit of defoliating bee the weekend but just a bit at a time so it doesn’t mess with her too much.

Day 58 - Starting week 9 and all is going good. Buds are forming nicely and frost is getting pretty heavy. Other than that, not much new really going on. Day 59 - Nothing new today, just took her out for some updated pictures. Day 60 - Buds are starting to fatten up and fill in a bit more everyday. She was just about dried up so got 2 gallons of plain pH’d water and next watering she will be getting another round of nutes. Day 61 - Still nothing much new today, she’s all good after a watering yesterday and will be ready for nutes next round. Day 63 - The end of another week today and she was ready for some water again. So she got 2 gallons with nutes and I also lowered the light a bit to see if being closer will help bulk her up a bit. Buds are forming nicely but just not really fattening up much so hoping that will help.

Day 65 - Starting week 10 and she’s definitely starting to fatten up a bit since lowering the lights for her. Already getting close to another round of water so most likely tomorrow, she’s drinking quite a bit lately. Day 66 - She was just about dried up already so gave her 2 gallons of plain pH’d water. Gonna start checking out the trichs soon, I’m thinking she’s down to about 2-3 weeks left but when the trichs tell me she’s done, I’ll chop her. Day 67 - Not much to do with her today, just some updated pictures and checked out the trichs for the hell of it and still mostly clear with a few milky scattered throughout. Day 68 - She’s gonna be ready for some water tomorrow, other than that, just been checking the trichs and tucking some leaves when I put her back in the tent. Day 69 - She was ready for water today and thinking she’s got about 10-14 days left, I went ahead and started the flush according to the Technaflora schedule. So mixed 5ML of MagiCal and 80ML of Sugardaddy with 2 gallons of water. Day 70 - Ending week 10 and she’s getting down to the wire. Still looking at about 7-10 days and everything is on track. Very few clear trichs in there, most are cloudy with a few amber scattered throughout.

Day 72 - Starting week 11 and all I great, really frosty and getting nice and plump. Just counting down till I can chop and the way things are going, I’ll be doing it next weekend. Only seen a couple clear trichs in there and mostly milky! Hoping that by next weekend she’ll be full of amber and if not, I’ll let her go a bit longer. Day 73 - Gave her her last “feeding” today, mixed 5ML of MagiCal and 80ML of Sugardaddy to 2 gallons of water. She’ll probably only get one more watering of plain water this week and let her dry up until chop day. Day 74 - Nothing new today, just some updated pictures. She is definitely starting to fade pretty quickly, just need her to make it about 5 more days. Day 75 - Not seeing any clear trichs anywhere, all milky and starting to get more and more amber’s mixed in there. So looking like everything is on track for a weekend chop. She’ll get one more round of plain water tomorrow and let her dry up from there. Day 76 - Gave the girl her last drink of plain pH’d water tonight and gonna let her dry out from now until chop day and looking like I’ll cut her down Saturday sometime. Day 77 - End of week 11 and her last full week alive. Trichs are starting to amber up quite a bit and she’ll be getting the axe on Saturday. Gotta get a new jewelers loupe so I can get some pictures.

Day 78 - Starting week 12 and tonight is her last night night and she’ll get the axe tomorrow. She’s sitting at about 30-35% amber and looking forward to her finishing up and trying this one. Day 79 - She’s all chopped up and into the drying box for the next 7-10 days. She was a beauty and ended up with 357 grams of wet bud. I’ll finalize the harvest when she’s dried and ready for cure.
