Continuing to tie down and monitor growth stretch has been purely about vegetation not height. Foliage looks good. Had a problem with new growth being burnt so I adjusted the light distance again

Not the the tallest but beautiful, and as I move her branches with tweezers, I can smell a sweet aroma, not associated with the typical chem dog sour Diesel Its a different kind of sweet

Looking wonderful I'm satisfied with this out regardless of yield. I do have 2 clones 1 to produce seeds and 1 to flower. Being that this strain was said to be better suited for experienced growers, in what I did I feel accomplished, heavy trichome production and over all healthy

Just continuing to watch the development. The clone of Alexandra grows very vigorously and should produce some high-quality seeds. Moving forward giving lower amounts of nutrients

When do you start counting the flowering weeks, when you switch to 12/12, a week after, or once you see first signs of flowers?

Hey there doc ! So it really depends on what is the most useful for you, after all it is your diary whether you record online or not. The main idea why you want to count weeks is to give you a basis to compare to or with. Whatever you choose , just be consistent to make sure your timing remains useful across several genetics . Usually breeders will start counting from when you first flip. Hope this helps ! 🚀

No technique at this point just watching her flowers develop. This is going to be my first harvest so I'm super excited. Have a clone of the mother that I will use to produce seeds

Water and natural fruit extract, been adding extract to my younger plants for majority of the grow add they grow well, so in the final weeks of flowering I've been giving her a mixture with 2 different extracts. I smell the flavor whenever I'm close to her. Soon will be harvested at which point I can see how the flavor has been affected

I was fun, and educational, I have a clone of the mother plant flowering now, I feel like I could have done a lot better. However it being my first grow, and it being said to be a difficult stain for beginners I'm happy.
