It's half way through Week 5 and this is the first chance I've been able to update this journal. I just started another job at a dispensary/cannabis lounge and have been trying to get things ready for the outdoor season, so I haven't had as much free time as I'm used too. Plants have been doing really good though! They are starting to bulk up, build those trichomes, and develop different traits from each other. The BD is really resembling some BD strains I've seen online, so there may be some truth from whomever grew the original strain the seed came from. It has some very long slender branches with not too many limbs coming off of them, making lots of tall, long singles. Which is what you find in a lot of hazes, which BD's lineage starts from a haze. The Arise is starting to smell amazing and has more of a stocky compact build, and I'm really excited for this one. It's been a month of flower now, so just another 5-6 weeks and it'll be harvest time.
Second update at day 34 of flower with another run of photos. So, we are wrapping up Week 5 of flower and are about to get to the last half of flowering, where they really start finishing up and smelling great. I have had a few brown splotchy leaves on the Arise fan leaves near the bottom which I'm thinking may be a Nitrogen deficiency. In my first few grows I always cut N when I went into flower but discovered it's best to still give your plants N, especially during the first few weeks and to not dial it back until after that, which is what I've tried to do this grow. I had actually just started to cut/lower the N but they seem to still want some more, so it may help to go ahead and give it some more for a couple weeks. The BD has slowly started to get a lighter green so I kept the Nitrogen where it was on that plant, but may go ahead and give it a little more as well. Other than that, everything seems to be doing okay. Seem to be drinking a little more, maybe every 2.5 days instead of every 3. Just trying to keep them happy!
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, Thank you sir! I just rolled a 2g King palm with a few tops for my YT channel review after a month cure. Definitely my favorite plant I've grown yet.
