Dione - divine queen, goddess, the mother of Venus in Roman mythology
With Beatrix and Chloé now flipping to flower it's time for a new little girl to join in on the fun. World, meet Dione the Amnesia Haze.
Dione took forever in her glass of water. After about 60-ish hours I could see a crack and after 72 hours finally the taproot showed up. I put her into a rapid rooter and then straight into her final 5 gal pot. Yes, I plant them straight into their big, final pot. Yes, I know many people think that's stupid. So far it has always worked perfectly fine for me. I'm careful with watering and never had any problems - I prefer that to transplanting them. I got some cool shots of her struggling out of her shell and by the end of the week she was a perfect little seedling :)

Dione's first week of veg went pretty good. She's insisting on being a tall, stretchy queen right now. She's almost twice the height any of my other girls were at that stage. I moved the lights a bit closer to discourage that attitude ;) I also had to support her a bit with some extra soil since she can't quite keep herself straight due to her fast growth. I hope with the light closer and as her stem gets more solid I won't have to do that much longer.

Second week of veg for this little girl. She went through another growth spurt - she started this week with one node and by the end she had 3 nodes up and working on the 4th. If she keeps this up she should be ready for her first topping by the end of next week!
She's still getting watered with distilled water but I'm planning on switching away from that next week - I feel confident she can take it now. I'm also not propping her up any longer. As expected she just needed a few days to really grow into her height and now is holding herself up very well.

Week 3 of veg. Dione grew in leaps and bounds this week. She went from 3 nodes to almost 6 in 5 days. And since she was super healthy and vigorous it was definitely time for her first topping. Topped her down to 3rd node and removed all grow below that. I left her 3rd node fan leaves for extra energy as those growth tips are still very small. She also got her first watering with nutes at the same time. Looks like she took to both very well. Once those two new main branches grow out a little bit I can start training them.

Dione took her first topping like a pro. After a few days she was ready for some training. This time I decided that instead of slowly LST-ing her branches into a horizontal position I'd try my hand a super-cropping. Pretty scary at first when you feel her break between your fingers but, again, she took it like a pro. Now I'm letting the two new main branches grow a few nodes before topping her again, probably at some point next week.

Week 5 of veg for little Dione. She grew those two new main stems out like crazy and I was able to top her for the 2nd time. Topped down to the 3rd node and cleaned everything up below that. I did leave her some extra fan leaves since the new growth tips were still pretty small. Now it's back to waiting for those 4 new mains to grow out so they can be trained and then finally topped one last time.

Week 6 of veg was pretty uneventful for Dione. All we did was wait and let her do her thing until her 4 mains are grown enough to be super-cropped again. Couple more days should do it.

Week 7 of veg for Dione. Her 4 new mains were finally tall enough to be supercropped again. Bent her between the 1st and 2nd node. Now waiting for the 3rd node to grow out just a tiny bit so I can top for the 3rd and last time.

Week 8 of veg for Dione. She took well to the last supercropping and the 4 mains had grown out just barely enough I could top her down to the 3rd node on each of them. This is it now. She has her 8 final main colas and from now on all she has to do is grow - no more training. My guess is she'll be in veg for another 3 weeks or so before flipping her.

Week 9 of veg for Dione. She's doing great. Training is all done so the next couple of weeks she can just grow until she's ready to be flipped. Hardly any work for me other than watering/feeding her. Her sisters in the flower tent are ready to be harvested by the end of the week so the flower tent is ready for her whenever she's grown enough.

Week 10 of veg for Dione. Another easy peasy week. She's growing in leaps and bounds- gained 2 more nodes on each main cola this week. I still want her a bit taller though before flipping. I'm thinking about another 2 weeks or so. We're about to start up a new little sister for her in the next week as well - stay tuned for the "E" crop :D

Week 11 of veg for Dione. She's almost there. All 8 main colas are growing nicely. I'm thinking one more week and then we'll flip. Her newest little sister is already in a glass of water germinating so it should work out perfectly for Dione to move into the "flower" tent right as the new girl moves into the "veg" tent.

Week 12 of veg. This was Dione's last week of veg. Everything is going just fine, she's done all the growing I wanted her to do. At the end of this week, she got a good haircut as she was getting pretty bushy, and then it was time to flip that switch.

Dione's first week of flower! She's doing great. Stretching like crazy. Took a couple more leaves because they were blocking the light to other growth tips but other than that nothing much to do but watch her grow :)

Second week of flower for Dione. She's really taking that flowering stretch seriously. Grew another couple of inches this week. She's now the tallest plant I've had so far. Other than that she's doing super well - starting to see some pistils growing.

Week 3 of flower for Dione - who is now 21 inches tall! She had minor hair cut this week to get rid of some of the big fan leaves on the lower nodes and then I just tucked away the ones on top to make sure everything got plenty of light. At the end of this week I could see the tiniest bit of frosting starting. So everything is going pretty well! :)

Week 4 of flower. She's healthy and looking good. Didn't need much this week at all - just water and nutes and some tucking away of the bigger leaves. She's also starting to smell now!

Week 5 of flower and she is stinky! :D Don't really remember my other plants smelling this strongly so early. She's making some nice buds and really got that frosting going. She got her last major haircut - a bit more than I usually do. I'm curious to see how that influences things.

Week 6 of flower for Dione. She's stinky, she's getting frosty and I've noticed the first few pistils turning orange. She's doing great and really does not need anything from me anymore at this point but some water and nutes. Few more weeks to go! :)

Week 8 of flower for Miss Dione. This is always the hardest part for me - deciding when they're done. I'm thinking probably one more week. I'd like those pistils to be just a little bit more curled up and more amber. Checking her every day to make sure we'll catch her just at the right time :)

Week 9 of flower for Dione. Still debating the best time to call her done. Looking at her with my loupe I see plenty of milky trichomes but not that many amber ones. So I decided not to harvest this week but give her one more week instead. But that definitely will be the last one. So....harvest next weekend!
