Germinated in water, RS sent a test tube.
Once all 3 sunk to bottom (24hrs)
I tweezered them into a fresh paper towel, folded and damped.
Popped into a tupperware then wrapped in something humid (waterproof jacket n stuck behind the boiler)
24 hrs later , all three sprouting at nearly 1cm.
Week 1.
Seeds planted. Straight into final pots.
Didnt want to risk the shock transplanting them.
Lights on 18hr cycle from now.
Cannaterra pro soil, perlite & myhrizzia home mix. Ph was 5.46. Used ph boost to bring up to 6.
Light watering before planting.
Will update when she pops through:)
Week 2
She's starting to grow quite quickly now.
Opened a vent and added a cooling fan I had lying around to put some fresh, cool air into the tent.
Dropped it a good few degrees, i seem to be between 31 and 28 daytime, and 20-23 night-time. Outside temp been below zero this week so seems to be holding up ok.
Increased dosage to 5ml/2l.
Fed 1/7 at the moment.
Humidifier going in end of Week 2.
Hopefully boost her growth/health further.
GHE booster pack starts Week 3.
Also got some Big Bud and Terpinator for later on....
Week 3
Day 19
She's still on the short and stumpy side, but she has loads of nodes so I'm not too worried, should take a stretch soon.
Moved her a little further away from the light to encourage her.
Did get a little worried over the weekend as fan leaves started tacoing slightly but introducing the humidifier seems to have helped.
I think I may have slightly overwatered because of last weeks high temps, so she's drying out to a light pot now.
Will start her on very light nute program this week.
0.2 ml / l of GHE Flora Micro and Grow
0.2 ml / l of Terpinator.
Started a little LST yesterday, shes small, so trying to be careful.
Defoliated taking off the big fan leaf at the bottom sucking up all that energy and bent her over to that side...
Temps 27-29 C
Hum 30-60 (drops when tank runs out then slowly bring it back up again)
Week 4
Day 22 - I'm expecting a big growth spurt the next 7-10 days while she flips cycle.
Upped nutes slightly. 0.2ml to 0.5ml per L. Very faint peppery green smell coming from the leaves.
Day 24 - She'd reached the edge of the pot today.
Fully expecting her to change over the next 10 days or so.
Fed roughly every week atm, 1.5l over 48 hour period, small doses of Flora Series and some Terpinator.
Ph has risen to 6.8 so happy with that.
Plan is to just go with GHE/Big Bud/Terp after this, but any advice welcome.
Week 5
Day 27
Everything going smoothly, haven't came up against any major issues with her yet.
Still getting fed roughly every 3 days 2ml each nute/ 1.5l water.
Not feeding until pot light.
Strange how I was terrified of not knowing what 'a light pot' was, and when to water but it's true. You just know!
Day 31
One month in and she is looking very healthy indeed, no issues (that I can see....please, if you see anything, send up a flare n ill try fix it!)
Defoliated later today, took away any leaves not getting any light.
Week 6
Day 36
She has had a rocket up the arse the past week.
Major defoliaton today.
Lollipopped most of the lower stems and branches.
Added some Big Bud into her diet today. See how she gets on with that.
Can't believe how well she looks, keep waiting for a disaster!haha
Day 40
No major changes. Bud sites multiplying, soils good, everything looks on track.
Week 7
Day 44
Main cola starting to fatten up.
Added in some Bud Candy end of last week (Day 42).
Think shes about finished, height wise, time for her to put on some weight.
Day 47 Some light burning on the tips of the leaves, from what I've read, most likely nute burn. Have out her on water only for a week, see if we can nurse her through.
Week 8
Day 50
Done some defoliation. Nute burn on the tips of the leaves so shes on water for a week. Big Bud dropping out of her diet this week anyway so will start her on Bud Candy and Terpinator only for the last 2-3 weeks before flush starts.
End is in sight....
Day 53
Burn still present, not worrying me yet.
Some pistils turning orange on buds, still no great smell. Need to get your bugle right down into it to even get a faint whiff of OG grass.
Week 9
Day 60
Buds fattening up. Tri's glistening. Can see some resin too.
So tempted to squeeze her! Haha
Still some nute burn on the old leaves but the new ones and sugar leaves seem ok.
Been on h2o only diet for 8 days....slowly reintroduce the Bud Candy, Terp and Micro and look to add some Overdrive in.
I think shes maybe 4 weeks away? What about you?
I'm thinking, probably only 2-3 weeks of feeding left before I start looking for signs to flush.
End game. New territory for me. Godspeed my girl👨🚀
Week 10
Day 63
Not much change since last week.
Slightly bigger, stronger, fatter and stinkier lol
Removed dead leaves. Practically lollipopped now.
Day 66
Trichromes at 50-60% cloudy.
Looking for 35 % amber.
Watered daily now/ fed every third day.
Doses above as usual.
Flush starting end of week, take her down next weekend if things go to plan....
Week 11
Day 70
She looks the part, and the smell when you touch her is unreal...but not a great stench coming off her this late in the day.
May be the strain, worried high temps might have destroyed some of the terps. Time will tell. Not long now.
Had her last feed of Overdrive today.
Plain PH'd water now until Good Friday then reassess.
Sunday would be poetic for my first execution.
Day 72
Nil by mouth. h2o only. 3-4% cloudy trics. Buds are packing some serious weight, hope they retain the density after drying and curing🤞🏻
Hello brothers & sisters.
First time grower...
I've inspected trics all over, and as expected, they are more mature in certain areas.
Was thinking of partially harvesting?
Is it as simple as chopping the mature buds and leaving the rest for another 1-2weeks?
Thanks
I have tried this many times in the past, but have come to the conclusion that once it is ready, chop the lot and take it as it comes.
I found that once you remove large amounts of the plant and leave behind other bits to "finish off", the plant goes into shock of having the major parts removed already, the metabolism slows remarkably and you end up waiting weeks for the rest to eventually and slowly mature. They are never as good as the first harvest, possibly due to the prolonged and drawn out maturation, the slowed metabolism or just the complete shock of the previous removal freaking the plant out, but I suspect all three things play a combined part in producing second rate buds from the second pick. If 90-95% of your plant is great, the 5-10% that isn't doesn't really matter. The smaller bits can be used for edibles and/or combined with your trim, saved for a rainy day or just given away to a friend in need. Even if it isn't prime, I don't know many people that say no to free buds, even if they are a bit small or "not prime". You never know, the universe is strange, most often that friend you give free buds to will one day come around with a bud or two and say, "remember when you gave me....."
Hope this helps,.............

Week 12
Day 77
The buds are heavy and resinous.
Too heavy, plant keeling over with the weight. Tried supporting them a little but the whole top of the cola is too heavy.
Few days to go, trics at 8% amber.
Aiming for 50%.
Water only past week.
Very anxious incase I chop her too early, so I'd rather be slightly late.
Stay of execution for Easter, maybe....
Week 13
Day 80
Decided against the chop this weekend... Good Friday Agreement 😜
Put her into darkness on Monday.
Then its Goodnight Vienna.
Made a wee video of her journey, as this will be the last update until harvest.
Thanks for all your advice✊🏻
Day 83
Currently drying, will update before Robert Smith turns up....
Day 87 5 days in, all trimmed and back in to dry.
Temp 18c RH 50%
Will raise humidity to 62% for last 5 days and add fan.
Day 92 Girls pruned to similar size buds and in jars to cure.
Will wait a few days until the residual moisture dissipates then weigh for the final time.
Lemony tones coming off her already.
Pleased as was getting worried during drying. Think I'll try a dry trim on the two Lemon Kix I have in atm (see my other diary)
Sampled some this afternoom and eveb before a cure its smooth enough to smoke, citrusy in profile and burns a nice clean white ash.
Looking forward to seeing the flavour/texture evolve over next few weeks before smoke report.
I'm not the most patient person, this part is extremely difficult.
Day 97 Final weight dried and a week cured is 87.8g (3.1oz)
Extremely pleased with the yield.
Smoke report
I've got to be honest, it's not the stinky monster I was expecting but its made up for it in other areas.
Really smooth on the inhale, lemony forest taste, no horrible aftertaste.
No coughing, which is a novelty!
For my first run, I'm v happy.
I feel the excessive heat may have microwaved some of the terps but we live and we learn.
Not long until my Auto Lemon Kix are ready, hopefully got the temp under control in time for them.....
