Well week 5 of bloom is complete, and this week brought a few challenges. Humidity in my area has been through the roof, close to 100%. My heavy-duty equipment was struggling to bring my tent to acceptable late flowering levels, sometimes reaching over 60% RH, especially at night when the plant was respirating more. Additionally, her pale yellow color, and leathery leaves didn't excite me too much. If you remember, we had a severe heat wave a couple of weeks ago, which contributed to that. But also, since I messed up the ScrOG training, and regrettably decided not to super-crop her, a fair share of the leaf problems were due to light stress as well, as I didn't want to sacrifice lower colas, so I let it go. My biggest mistake this grow, was not paying attention to her the one day she decided to stretch nearly a foot, and was unable to be weaved into the net the next day without being snapped in half. My second biggest mistake is NOT snapping it in half, and letting it repair itself. I wouldn't have had nearly as much bleaching of leaves I think. This week, and I'm assuming because nearly all chlorophyll was depleted from her fan leaves, I didn't notice much of any change from last week. Her buds seemed to be about the same mass, and the stigmas still had the same ratio of red to white coloration. I suspected she was dead, or dying, or just...done. Not all genetics will transform all of their stigmas from white, and not all genetics will have their trichomes turn amber. So, I did a few things to confirm that suspicion. First, I looked at her trichomes on various buds closely with a microscope. They were almost all cloudy, with very very few amber. That told me that she was at an acceptable level of ripeness, even if she could have went longer, assuming she was still alive. Next, I removed the pea gravel mulch I was using in the raised bed, so I could get a closer look at the soil she was growing in, and more specifically, her roots. The soil, although moist a few inches deep, was not at the level I expected, and I think I have not been watering her enough. I don't think I'll be using a gravel mulch again. On the plus side, it did help prevent fungus gnats, as there was zero the whole grow, apart from an early week when I placed some solo cups to germinate on top of the bed, but after removing them, the fungus gnats disappeared with them. Also while inspecting the soil, I carefully dug down to inspect some of her primary roots. They were actually dry, despite the surrounding soil being moist. This could explain why she wasn't drinking much if any for the better part of the week. So, given her dry foliage, dry roots, and ripe-enough trichomes, I decided it was time to harvest her, earlier than expected. Let's also not forget that I was frightened this week with some high humidity scares, so growing longer, and possibly for no reason if she was dead or barely alive, was not in the cards. I've dealt with my fair share of bud rot before, and I would rather try what I have of her now, than to wait the extra week or so for her to be fully ripe. So, that is what I did, on the last day of the week -- I chopped her down, cut off some larger fan leaves, and hung her upside down. This, of course, was after removing the raised bed. It took me a while to empty about 45 gallons of soil so I could move it, but in doing so, I noticed a lot of beneficial critters, and nothing bad. Such critters included small centipedes, which feed on other insects, and soil mites which eat dead organic matter. I set the tent to dry at around 72F and 55 RH. And now we wait for about a week before trimming. One thing is for sure -- I am very proud of this grow, despite all these flaws. She smells incredible -- like pure citrus emanating throughout my house. This is a very strong-smelling plant. As a bonus, I've included a time-lapse video of the entire grow from start to finish in the last media above. Check it out and let me know what you think. I'll be back for the harvest week for the dry weight in about a week or so, after we're done drying and trimming.

Grow going well. Girls getting frosty.

I’ve redeemed myself for the lack of photos last week!! These girls are caking up absolutely incredible. I hope harvest is only a few weeks out now, but I don’t see a lot of milky tricimes yet, and no ambers in sight at all. I took off a few low side branches to dry, and see how they go. Smell is amazing. Very sweet of sorts. Very hard to describe. Definitely got a lot of gas too.

No bug or disease problems. I even took her off veg nutes way too soon and she recovered like a fucking champ. I’m popping two more this week. Unfortunately i didn’t weigh it because Of some very unfortunate circumstances that I was dealing with at the time. I essentially had to vacate my premise within 24 hours. A few days after harvest. Anyways. I ended up smoking the whole thing with my friends and it was straight fire. The terps were crazy also. Super sweet. After curing she had a very sweet smell like bubblegum / grape. This was only my second harvest ever.

Update week 4 Bloom

It's about week 6 I guess, I don't know. Pheno 1: 2 short ones with great smelling medium sized buds. Fast Pheno 2: looks like a nice producer, very frosty, nice growth, keeping an eye on this one. Slowest of the bunch but not a slow plant by any means Pheno 3: woah, THC bomb! The frostiest plant in the house. Also seems like a fast one Great smells Quite excited for these awesome plants from Zambeza! Catch you before harvest time for some nicer pictures

Welcome to my beautiful Exotic Garden 💚 I'm on week 12, random pictures for you guys, soon will update the whole process, my fully organic grow has been the best ever, huge plants, big buds, the smell is out of this world, the colors, I'm in love, can't wait for the harvest

She started growing new nodes and I started raising the feed on nutrients and kept the ph at 6.5-6.6. She looks like she’s ready to flower soon. Started giving a little bit of a smell like citrusy.

Week 2, added big bud and did some light defoliating. i also added stakes on 2 plants, to help spread out the branches. The blueberry seems to be the hungriest plant of the group.

Le piante aumentano di dimensioni giorno dopo giorno. Si comincia a sentire odore e i fiori si stanno riempendo di tricomi. Aggiungendo pk 13-14 ho visto un miglioramento della compattezza e delle dimensioni dei calici. Ho aumentato il fabbisogno nutrizionale perchè la.tipologia kush lo richiede.

Day 114 harvest has gone exceedingly well unfortunately the vids of the harvest wont post but i will keep trying thanks for following the grow and i hope to see all of you in the next grow Update a finally got the vids !!! well holy crap its a good harvest again for just 1 plant 9 oz baby

Week 5 looking very plentiful

5-29-19 6-2-19 All is going smooth still. All are stinking, stacking, and looking absolutely stunning. The only "issue", the 2 East Coast Sour Punch are maturing a bit faster than the Popwalkers are. They must be fast finishing phenos is seems. I will let the Popwalkers go as long as possible without the ECSP getting to much amber. One more week of feed, and then I'll start the flush.

This week she was transplanted into her forever home. A 38 litre airpot. The timelapse is the whole week except a few hours when I was repotting.

Er blevet plantet over i 17 liter potter i stedet en 12 liters! Hun er allerede begyndt at vise tegn på rigtig gå i blomst 🌸. Det er først gang jeg prøver pulver gødning OG JEG ER SÅ POSITIV OVERBEVIST OM DET ER DET JEG VIM FORSÆTTE FREM AF ( undtagen det der ikke fåes i pulver ( endnu) 😇glæd jer til flere dagbøger og nye spændende planter og NYE SKUNK STRAINS OG NY GØDNING ÆGTE GRO JORD MED TILHØRENDE PULVER GØDNING! Det bliver fantastisk spændende😇🤩🤩🤩🧐🤩🤩😜😝😎🤪😇💚🖤💛💚🖤💛💚

This week this little lady has done some growing! She's getting smelly and hopefully going to have one last stretch before flower kicks in, hopefully next 2 weeks and she will show signs, happy with production so far, she looks nice and healthy 😊, happy growing and stay green 💚💚✌️

Started out great as a seedling. On week 3 things I used cheap clips that jacked things up and after a certain amount of time passed I decided to transplant it to Fox Farms Strawberry fields soil where it quickly went into flower shortly after. I chopped 77 days after planting the seed. It produced 47 grams dry of amazing flower. The smell is incredibly pungent -sweet and citrus scent. The high is great as well. After drying for 8 days they were then thrown into a grove bag for an infinite cure until consumed.
