Does anyone have an idea how much longer this plant needs

I gotta say this seed is very strong once the roots are established and healthy I’ve been hurting her since day 1 still she fought back like a true legend. But hey enough hurting her time to give her 2 weeks of getting fat. 😂💚

Que hay familia, yo aquí entre humos actualizo las misty gorilla auto, seamos sinceros, yo estoy algo decepcionado con el tamaño de la flor, no con el ejemplar ni la calidad solo la cantidad, y es que ahora pienso yo, las autos realmente merece la pena a sabiendo que si ciclo es parecido al de una feminizadas? 4 semanas crecimiento 8/9 floración? No no merecen la pena seamos realistas si queremos cultivar en interior lo mejor que podemos hacer es comprar semillas feminizadas y asegurar tu cultivo. Y dejar solo las autos para gente que no se puede permitir un indoor y tenga que cultivarlo en terraza y así cultivar todo el año . Ph regulado ya quite alimentación y limpie raíces, las e sacado a la terraza, desmontó Indoor me mudo y ampliamos zona de comfort. Hasta aquí es todo gente un saludo y muy buenos humos 💨💨💨

Finally got her down. Day 203 21/11/24 Thursday Its finally time 🙌!! She has had 48 hrs of dark and more mildew started to set in so thank goodness I chopped her today!! Have not had time to weigh her yet, but wet trim, and deeper wet trim of sugar leaves affected with mildew have been removed. She is now hanging in tent to dry, with heat mat, and extraction on low. Humidity is 66% and 18'c. Her colours have deepened and her aroma is potent!! Strong sweet floral smell , similar to the perfume 😍 Uploaded pics and a short vid of before the chop. Will update harvest tomorrow with wet weigh. Thanks for following along my journey, big shout out and thank you to @Divineseeds for this cultivar. Next time , bigger pot, more lollipoping 😎💪💚 Day 209 27/11/24 Wednesday 6 days drying now. Humidity at 63% . Picture and video update 📸💚 Managed a 13 day hang dry, humidity reached 58% in tent, and sugar leaves where dry, but buds are perfect underneath! Now entering cure for 6 weeks plus. Picture update 📸💚 Last update after cure Updated:::: She smokes 🤤🤤 damn so good!! Taste 😋- like a black cherry gelato , thick and creamy with a tangy cherry on the tongue. Smell 👃- like a pungent ice cream strain now, with what I can only describe as cherry or a dark berry smell. Smoke 🔥-- she is a dream, heavy hitter! I smoke this in evenings and it chills me right out, zoned off. Munchies everything. My new favourite 🙌💚 Thank you to @Divineseeds for this masterpiece 💚

I guess my lasts weeks post never posted. Oh well. Today is day 1 that i switch lights to 12/1

She's grown about 20cm this week,branches are starting to stretch out,same watering cycle,definitely females hairs from top four branch nodes showing more now..she is booming along,looking healthy and cant wait till she pops out some sticky buds to stare at

The Flowers grow fast

Day 7 of flower slow streach one will be smaller and bushy then the other both look great and are very healthy plants

Day 57 - Starting week 9 off with a gallon and a half of water and nutes today. She’s doing really well and getting big. Finally really starting to bud up a bit and not just pistils here and there. Not really doing any defoliating until she’s buds up a bit more but she’s getting there. She’s still stretching like crazy and when she seems to slow down, she gets watered and starts putting on the inches again. Day 58 - Didn’t really do anything with her today. Just took her out of the tent to give her a look to see how she’s doing. It looks like she’s definitely starting to bud up and should be an amazing harvest, when the time comes. Day 59 - Looking good and starting to stack up nicely. Still has got a long was to go but all is looking well. I did chop off a couple of lower branches that are completely covered and I’d rather her focus her energy on the ones that are getting the light. She’s gonna need some water again by Saturday. Day 61 - Gave the girl about a gallon and a half of water and nutes today and removed a couple fan leaves as well. She’s coming along nicely and buds seems to be forming nicely as well. Not really putting out much of a smell yet but hopefully she’ll starting frosting up soon so I get get a good smell from her. Day 62 - Not a whole lot new going on today. Removed a few dead fan leaves at the bottom and checked her out under a scope and looks like the trichs are starting to form. Day 63 - It’s the end of week 9 today and she’s drinking like crazy. Going to give her some more water and nutes tomorrow. She’s really budding up nicely and looking pretty damn good. The stretching has slowed down a little so hopefully she’ll start packing on some weight and getting frosty.

Week 6 of my Runtz Fem Green Sensation test with/without using Plagron soil. The mother will be raised on Xpert Nutrients. And then when I take clones in the next week or 10 days. I'll be growing them as close as possible using Terra line from plagron. Days 35-40 Plant is really starting to push. Making sure to not the soil dry up. I only topped yesterday, so I'm hoping the nodes will start growing now. Giving me 4 sets. 1 row ( 2 sets/4 clones) will be taken. And from those 4 the 2 best rooted will be grown very similar to this using Plagron & of course Green Sensation with & without. I'll be using separate 9L pots once rooted to give them a good few weeks of veg without any need to uppot to bigger veg pots delaying the veg. Xpert Nutrients continues its amazing job. Seeing real growth now pushing it on. I won't bother doing any major fan leave removal until their nodes develop a bit more. Nutrients have been kept low. As its only been put in fresh grow mix a few weeks back. Mainly my focus is on roots, calmag & silica for stress. As you can see. I'm getting a very nice pheno for cloning. Day 41-42 She's moving along at a much quicker pace since topping 3 days ago. I think I'll have to remove fan leaves. As it continues focusing on growing leaves. I gather this is, was it been rootbound. But, she's moving now. Shout out to Zamnesia & Plagron for the gear. & also for Xpert Nutrients whose Nutrients are powering the mother.

🚂 8×8 Adventure – Week 13 🌸 Cash Express – Pheno B 💚 The Bud Rot That Wasn't — She's Back in the Spotlight! Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And this week... I think we need to start with an apology. 😂💚 Because last week, we had the bud rot discussion. We had trouble. We had concerns. We had one sister that unfortunately lost her main cola. And in the middle of all that... Cash Express Pheno B got caught up in the story. But this week? Let's make something very clear: There is NO bud rot on this girl. None. Niente. Nothing. 😂💚 She's shining. She's growing. She's evolving. She's looking absolutely beautiful. And honestly... I'm very happy to be able to say that. Because when you're running a room with this many plants, the last thing you want is to see a problem spreading from one plant to another. But Cash Express Pheno B? She's doing absolutely fine. She's standing there looking at me like: "See? I told you I'm okay." 😂🚂💚 And she is. She's okay. More than okay, actually. She's looking fucking beautiful. So let's forget the drama for a moment. Let's give this girl the studio treatment she deserves. We took her out. We photographed her properly. We gave her some attention. And now... it's time to let her shine. 💚🌸✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 First — Let's Correct The Story Before anything else... I'm happy to correct the record. Last week was a very different kind of report, and understandably, the attention was on the bud rot situation we found elsewhere. But Cash Express Pheno B? She's clean. She's healthy-looking. She's developing beautifully. And there are absolutely no signs of bud rot on her. So... sorry, beautiful girl. 😂💚 You got dragged into the drama. But now we're setting the record straight. This girl is doing just fine. And I'm especially happy about that because she's carrying one seriously impressive main cola. 🌸🚂💚 A massive one. And it's hanging in there beautifully. No problems. No drama. Just a big, dense, beautiful flower doing exactly what we want to see at this stage. ──────────────────────── 🚂 Cash Express B Is Still Moving One thing that hasn't changed from the previous reports: This girl is moving. She's still developing. She's still changing. And she's now clearly starting to make those moves toward the final stage of the plant. The overall appearance is changing. The flowers are becoming more mature. The pistils are changing. The green is becoming deeper. The buds are getting denser. And the whole plant is beginning to look like she's entering that part of the journey where the finish line starts becoming visible. Not tomorrow. Not necessarily next week. I'm not putting a date on her. But she's definitely showing us: "I'm getting there." 😂💚 And I'm listening. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Deep Green — Deeper By The Week One of the first things that catches my eye with her right now is the colour. She's beautiful. Deep green. And getting deeper. 💚🌿 There's something really satisfying about seeing this plant in person and then comparing her with the rest of the room. She's got that rich, lush appearance that makes the flowers stand out even more. The green foliage provides this beautiful contrast against the increasingly mature flowers. And then you look closer... and suddenly you're seeing brown hairs everywhere. 🌸? That's another clear sign that this girl is moving forward. She's changing. She's maturing. She's moving away from that fresh-flowering look and toward something much more developed. And I really like what I'm seeing. ──────────────────────── ? Brown Hairs Everywhere Okay... let's talk about those hairs. 😂?🌸 They're everywhere. We're starting to see that beautiful transition across the flowers. The pistils are no longer all fresh white. We're seeing more and more of those darker, mature-looking hairs throughout the plant. And when you combine that with the density of the flowers... the overall picture is becoming very interesting. She's starting to look like a plant that's entering the final part of her journey. Again... I'm not putting a harvest date on her. The plant will tell us. But visually? She's definitely talking. And she's saying: "Things are happening." 😂🚂💚 ──────────────────────── 🌸 Big Buds On A Medium-Sized Plant This is probably one of my favourite things about this phenotype. She's not a giant. She's not one of those plants that completely dominates the room. She's medium-sized. Comfortable. Balanced. And yet... look at the flowers she's carrying. 😂💚🌸 Big. Dense. Beautiful. Substantial. It's a fantastic contrast. Medium-sized plant. Big-to-big flowers. And especially that main cola... wow. She's massive. It's hanging there like: "Don't worry. I've got this." 😂🌸 And I absolutely love seeing that. It reminds us once again that plant size and individual flower size aren't necessarily the same conversation. A plant doesn't have to become a monster to produce impressive flowers. Cash Express Pheno B is giving us a very nice example of that. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Main Cola Is Hanging In There And I have to give this one its own section. Because after what happened with her sister... I look at this main cola differently now. 😂 I see it. I admire it. I photograph it. And I think: "Please stay with us, big girl." 😂🌸🙏 She's massive. She's dense. She's beautiful. And so far... she's perfectly fine. No signs of bud rot. No strange tissue. No reason for alarm. Just a huge main flower continuing to develop. And honestly? I'm enjoying every photograph of it. Because this is exactly the kind of thing that makes these late stages so satisfying. You watch something start as a tiny flowering site... and eventually you're standing there looking at a giant cola wondering: "How the hell did you become this big?" 😂💚 ──────────────────────── 🔍 No Bud Rot — And That's The Important Part Let's make this crystal clear one more time. 🚨 Cash Express Pheno B: ❌ No visible bud rot ❌ No signs of the problem seen on her sister ❌ No concerning areas that we're seeing ❌ No reason to panic Instead: 💚 Healthy-looking foliage 🌸 Dense flowers ? Increasingly mature pistils ❄️ Beautiful flower development 🌿 Deepening green 🚂 Continued progression And that's exactly what I want to see. Of course, we continue observing. That's what we do with every plant. But observation is not the same thing as panic. Right now... I'm looking at a beautiful plant doing beautifully. And I'm very happy about that. ──────────────────────── 📸 She Went To The Studio! And this week... we did something special. We took her to the studio. 😂📸🎬 Because honestly? She deserved it. After all the drama surrounding the previous week, I wanted to give this girl the attention she deserves. So we took the camera out. We put her in front of the lens. And we let her show off. And... damn. 😂💚 She looks good. Really good. The photographs capture exactly what I'm seeing in the room: A beautiful medium-sized plant. Deep green. Dense flowers. Large colas. Maturing pistils. Strong structure. And one absolutely massive main cola hanging there like she owns the place. 🚂🌸💚 She earned that studio session. ──────────────────────── 📸 Macro Time — Let's Get Close And then, of course... we go closer. Because the full-plant photographs show us the structure. The flower photographs show us the density. But the macro shots? That's where she starts showing off. 😂📸🌸 Suddenly you see the individual structures. The pistils. The resin. The texture. The flower development. The tiny details that you simply can't appreciate from across the room. And that's one of the reasons I love documenting these plants individually. A plant can look beautiful from two metres away... and then completely blow your mind when you put the lens close to the flower. Cash Express Pheno B is definitely giving us those moments. ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Same Room, Different Personalities For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. The concept remains simple. Twelve plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One irrigation philosophy. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And twelve completely different personalities. That's the experiment. And Cash Express Pheno B is giving us another beautiful example. Her sister is writing a very different story. One lost a main cola. This girl? Her main cola is still standing. One has had a difficult chapter. This one is moving toward maturity beautifully. Same general room. Same ecosystem. Different phenotype. Different expression. Different story. That's the 8×8 Adventure. ──────────────────────── 💡 Same Photons — Different Results The lighting environment remains exactly where we've brought it over the last few weeks. Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main artificial sun for the room. The two additional Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the setup. We've already reduced the output to approximately: 🔌 ~59% from the plug while working around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing throughout the canopy according to plant height and position. And Cash Express Pheno B? She's clearly enjoying those photons. She's taking them... and turning them into: 🌿 Leaves 🌸 Flowers ? Mature pistils 💚 Density ✨ Structure Same photons. Different interpretation. That's genetics. And I absolutely love watching it happen. A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for supplying those additional fixtures for this experiment. Having that extra lighting capacity and being able to control how much of it we're actually using has been a fascinating part of this adventure. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Same Feeding — Same Ecosystem And just like the rest of the room... we haven't changed her nutritional program. The room remains stable. The plants are enjoying the consistency. And we're not trying to reinvent anything unnecessarily. Current nutritional program: 🌱 Plagron Pure Zym — 1 ml/L ⚗️ Plagron pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Plagron Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Current solution strength: ⚡ EC ~2.05 mS/cm Same opportunity. Same room. Same feeding. And then... the plant decides what to do with it. Cash Express Pheno B has decided to build some seriously beautiful flowers. 😂🌸💚 I'm not going to argue with her. ──────────────────────── 💧 Stable Room — Stable Plants This week, the biggest thing we're doing is actually... not doing much. 😂 And I think that's important. The room is stable. The ecosystem is stable. The lighting is stable. The nutrition is stable. The irrigation is stable. And the plants are responding beautifully. So why change things? Exactly. We observe. We monitor. We photograph. We enjoy. And when something actually requires our attention... we deal with it. Otherwise? Let them grow. Let them finish. Let them show us where they're going. Cash Express Pheno B is doing exactly that. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 — CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS The room remains under the same conditions across this week's reports: 🌸 Flowering — Week 13 💡 Light schedule — 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs — upgraded setup 🔌 Approx. lighting output — ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD — ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature — ~27°C 🌙 Night temperature — ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity — ~61% ⚗️ pH — ~6.04 ⚡ EC — ~2.05 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature — ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature — ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂ — ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size — 15 L 💦 Irrigation — ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same environment. Same ecosystem. Same feeding. Same lighting. Different personality. And Cash Express Pheno B is looking absolutely beautiful within it. ──────────────────────── 🌿 She's Starting To Look Like A Final-Stage Plant This is probably the biggest change I'm seeing now. She's beginning to transition. Not dramatically. Not overnight. But visibly. The flowers are getting denser. The pistils are changing. The green is deepening. The overall appearance is becoming more mature. And that's when you start getting that feeling: "Okay... we're getting somewhere." 😂💚 She's not finished. I'm not claiming she is. But she's definitely moving toward that final stage. And I love watching that transition. It's one of the most rewarding parts of a flowering run. The plant slowly changes from: "Look what I'm building!" to: "Look what I've built." And Cash Express Pheno B is somewhere in between those two sentences right now. 🌸🚂💚 ──────────────────────── 🔬 Medium Plant — Big Expression And once again... this girl proves that size doesn't tell the whole story. She's medium-sized. She's not dominating the room. But her flowers? They're big. Her main cola? Massive. Her other flowers? Dense. Her structure? Beautiful. And her personality? Very much her own. This is exactly why I love documenting individual phenotypes. If you only looked at the room as a whole, you might simply say: "Cash Express." But when you follow her individually... you start seeing: Cash Express Pheno B. A medium-sized plant. Deep green. Beautifully structured. Dense flowers. Big colas. Strong main flower. And now... a very clear movement toward maturity. That's a much more interesting story. ──────────────────────── 💚 Her Sister Had Her Chapter — This Girl Has Hers I think this is important too. Because when two phenotypes share the same genetics and the same room, it's very easy to start comparing them. And yes... we absolutely compare them. That's part of the experiment. But comparison doesn't mean one is better. It means they're different. Cash Express Pheno A had her difficult chapter. She lost her main cola. And now we're watching the remaining flowers continue their story. Cash Express Pheno B? She's had a completely different ride so far. Her main cola is still there. It's massive. She's showing no signs of the same issue. She's deep green. She's dense. She's beautiful. And she's moving toward the final stage. Two plants. Same genetics. Same room. Two very different stories. That's phenotype expression right there. ──────────────────────── 🚂 No Drama This Week And honestly? I like this kind of update. 😂💚 No drama. No emergency. No problem to solve. Just: "Look at her." 😂🌸 She's beautiful. She's growing. She's changing. She's getting more mature. She's producing dense flowers. She's getting those brown hairs. She's deep green. She's carrying a massive main cola. And she's doing exactly what she should be doing. Sometimes that's all the report needs to say. Everything is working. The room is stable. The plant is happy. And the grower gets to stand there with a camera and enjoy the view. 😂📸💚 I'll take that. ──────────────────────── 🔭 Looking Ahead So... where are we going from here? Honestly? I don't know. And that's exactly how I like it. 😂💚 I can see that she's entering a later stage. I can see the pistils changing. I can see the flowers getting denser. I can see the plant maturing. But I'm not going to put a date on her. The plant will tell us. And until then... we keep watching. We keep photographing. We keep enjoying the view. We keep the room stable. And we let Cash Express Pheno B decide when she's ready for the next chapter. For now? She's doing beautifully. ──────────────────────── ❤️ FINAL THOUGHTS — THE GIRL WHO DESERVES THE SPOTLIGHT Week 13. And Cash Express Pheno B is looking fucking beautiful. 💚🌸🚂 After last week's drama... what a pleasure it is to write this report. No bud rot. No problems. No emergency. Just a beautiful, healthy-looking plant moving into the final stage of her journey. Deep green. Getting deeper. Brown hairs appearing everywhere. Dense flowers. Big flowers. Beautiful structure. And that main cola... 😂🌸 That thing is massive. And it's hanging in there beautifully. She's a medium-sized plant carrying some seriously impressive flowers. And I absolutely love that. She doesn't need to be the biggest plant in the room. She doesn't need to dominate the canopy. She doesn't need to take over the 8×8. She's simply doing her thing... and doing it very well. We took her to the studio. We gave her the camera. We got close. We photographed those flowers. And she showed us exactly why she deserves her own spotlight. 📸💚✨ This is what the 8×8 Adventure is all about. Same room. Same ecosystem. Same photons. Same nutrition. Same environment. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different personalities. And Cash Express Pheno B? She's giving us a beautiful one. So let's enjoy this stage. Let's enjoy those big flowers. Let's enjoy that massive main cola. Let's enjoy the deep green. Let's enjoy the changing pistils. Let's enjoy the density. Let's enjoy the fact that this girl is moving toward her final chapter without giving us any of the drama her sister had. 😂💚 And most importantly... let's give her the spotlight. Because she deserves it. 🚂🌸💚✨ Keep shining, Cash Express Pheno B. Keep doing your thing. Keep building those beautiful flowers. And when you're ready... we'll let you tell us when the story is finished. Until then? The camera is ready. The room is stable. And I'm enjoying the view. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU A huge thank you to Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore these individual phenotypes throughout the 8×8 Adventure. 🌸🙏 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey and helping us keep the room stable and consistent. A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures we're testing in this adventure. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and maintain the environment behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following these reports on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every photograph. Every observation. Every week following these plants. It all becomes part of the story. And Cash Express Pheno B has certainly given us a beautiful one. From her early development... to her unique structure... to those big flowers... to that massive main cola... and now into the beginning of her final stage. She's still here. She's still beautiful. She's still developing. And thankfully... she's got no bud rot. 😂💚 So let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And let's give this beautiful girl exactly what she deserves: The spotlight. 🚂🌸💚✨ Keep shining, beautiful girl. You've earned it. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚🚂

June 26 Getting bigger and bigger! Makes me wonder if I should flip her to flower here soon to control the size since she's not an autoflower which is usually smaller, genetically. She hasn't used up all of the nutrients in the bucket yet either. June 27 Plant was a bit droopy, so a half gallon of PH'd water did the trick. June 30 Some lower leaves are getting yellow and dying. I'm taking that as a sign that the soil is almost out of nutrients. Mixed up a 1/8th strength of General Organics GO Box nutrients (week 1 to avoid nute burn), but upped the CalMag to 1/4 strength. Fed one gallon at a PH of 6.7 to slight runoff.

Getting up there with the longest fattest buds ive had on a plant still a long way to go been a breeze to grow no problems or hiccups had the best start to life and the best nuitrents since switching to xpertnuitrents ive seen a massive improvement in my buds quality amd size

Week 5 flowering Now the swelling begins

It's flush week in the main room for the girls I have kept back one gold glue the monster mbap and gwk they will be given longer as a bit behind This has been a smooth run can't wait to move the wilmas in to there new home more space efficient and feeding friendly The gold glue I will definatly run again and again lol one of my new favs This grape walker kush was neglected Unfortunatly but still turned out super frosty and stankkkkkkky the ones one my next run will have all my care and love Mbap great bud formation and size this is another strain to put in the vault to save for years to come ! Updates have been a bit slow due to my phone being rubbish 🙈 Issues uploading vids and photos catch my vids on my Instagram @velk_1

Hi liebe Community! 💚 Der zweite Strain von Good Times Genetics. Entwickelt sich wunderprächtig und es sind sehr schöne große und Breitgefächerte Blätter zu erkennen. Ein schönes Wuchsbild verreint mit einer starken Indica Dominanz. Bei diesem Typ allerdings liegen die Seitentriebe etwas näher am Haupttrieb, als bei der anderen Pflanze. Gestern wurden die Ladys ausselektiert und in ihre neuen Töpfe gepflanzt. Wir sind mega gespannt, wie sich die Pflanzen weiter entwickeln. Nach der nächsten Woche Erholung wird noch ein Topping folgen. Die Wachstumsbedingungen im Growzelt sind weiterhin am Optimum und Stabil: ——————— 🌞 Temp: 23°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 58% VPD: 0,86 kPa 😎PPFD: 330 mqm ——————— Stay Tuned! 💚

Endspurt...es wird langsam herbstlich...bekommt nach wie vor nur noch wasser...Trichome werden ab jetzt regelmäßig geprüft Licht auf ca 60% reduziert

Durban Poison are flowering beautifully. This Sativa strain is also putting out a few new shoots, even here in week 17. Either I accidentally let some light in during the day a couple of times, or—more likely—I trimmed away some small lower branches that were dying from light deprivation, and that triggered a minor burst of growth at the tips. Otherwise, they are flowering beautifully; the colas are bulking up, though they haven't really started to densify yet. A powerful aroma has emerged, and a sticky resin residue is starting to linger slightly on my hands. There is almost no visible "sugar" (trichome frosting) on ​​the leaves. They are drinking about 1–2 liters each per day. For the most part, I’ve been feeding them just water supplemented with Cal-Mag and acidifiers throughout the week. Occasionally, I add 2 ml/L of Simplex Aroma Punch. I’m hoping to harvest a decent yield this time around; the main stems are certainly robust enough. Seventeen weeks is an insanely long grow cycle. In the future, I’ll be switching to "Fast Flowering" strains (40-day cycles) or varieties with ultra-short flowering periods—something like Jelly Donutz from this same seed bank.

This is week 2
