Day: 133
I used the AirPot for the first time with this grow. The results speak for themselves. Longer, thicker, and more dense root structures.

Harvest day. Flushed with Flawless Finish for the past week. Began seeing signs of magnesium burn so I cut her down. Very thick short stalks with dense growth down 80% of the length. Now the irritating wait for curing.

On the homestretch with the flowering cycle now. The pistles are turning brown and the THC glands are beginning to turn from clear to milky. A few more days and I’ll begin flushing for harvest!

Day 7 of the Flowering cycle. Took down the stupid trellis I made. Didn’t work. Starting to see activity in the center of the colas. Still a short plant but hoping for large results.

Switched over to flowering cycle today. Light to Bloom and nutrients changed with the addition of Bud Candy and Monster Bloom as well. Banking on the stretching phase to increase it to a nominal height since it sits so squat.

It’s been a little over a week since adding the trellis. The 4 main colas have pushed through the netting while the lower 2 have not. Not sure why it’s growing so slowly. Will continue with current schedule for another week before beginning the flowering cycle.

Built and added a trellis system to begin training before flowering cycle to maximize yield. Trimmed off excess branches and made it 4 main colas. Will check back in 7 days to see progress.

Plant is currently 9” tall with multiple cola locations coming in everyday. Did some more trimming all around to allow more light to penetrate. Watered with nutrients yesterday.

Day: 40
Did some pruning to remove excess growth and allow more light to the lower colas. This strain is very short for being day 40. Will probably have to extend vegetative cycle.

Measuring 7” tall now. Topped a few days ago and a lot more colas popped up. Removed bottom 4 leaves for air circulation and grooming. The stalk on this strain is very thick!

4” tall today. Feeding every other day since the air pots dry out faster than fabric.

Day: 19
Measures 3.5” tall. 4th nodes coming in on top and very close together. No space in between so still in early vegetation stage. Should stretch out soon. Transplanted from solo cup to 5 gal air pot as roots were getting blocked yesterday. Starting nutrients on next watering.

Seed pod finally came off the new sprout today. Like a baby losing its umbilical cord. All in its own now. 2nd pod is taking its time making its debut, but I can see it stretching ever closer to the top.
