Dry is complete - final weight is 4.6 ounce (129g) which i’m stoked with from a 150w light and a 2/2 month (4 month total) run time. First photoperiod plant i’ve done and i’ve found the smell to stay (it’s dulled down from harvest) compared to autos where the smell seems to go a few days into the dry. Onto a jar cure for at least a month before optimal taste and smell.

cut the buds down to size but kept the leaves on for the time being - will keep them in the paper bags for 3 days to finish the dry and will do the final trim before cure then. current harvest weight is 8 ounces (5 days into the dry) - assuming around the 4-5 ounce mark by the time the dry is done.

6 months ago

due to other time constraints i’ve had to chop down today - only a week or so earlier than planned but according to the chart i follow (see last image, a lot of clears went milky overnight) it’s perfect timing for maximum thc on this indica dominant hybrid aiming for a week dry at 60% humidity before trimming and putting into paper bags for a couple days then to jars for cure.

6 months ago

few more amber trichomes have shown up, still a lot of clears. buds aren’t super dense but are leaking oil like crazy (see last pic). still looking at harvest end of the month but checking trichomes every second day, may come day a few days earlier. hoping for a good 4-5 ounce off this run. photos taken using a 10x loupe in front of my phone camera on 4x

6 months ago

few close up shots - with cooler temps (ranging between 14-20 in the tent) the flowers are getting a bit of purple coming through looking close up at the trichomes were still 50/50 clear to milky, i personally aim for an 80/20 milky to amber ratio for harvest

blue OG is meant to produce a high amount of resin/oil and it’s definitely showing, smell is outta this world. packing on a lot of weight, looking forward to seeing how much she fills out before end of month. snipped off a little tester bud - will do a proper dry (week long, last couple days in paper bags) and then a nice jar cure before trying

6 months ago

quick flash pic i took mid feed - flash really makes those trichomes shine

6 months ago

harvesting end of june - bud structure at the very tops is nice and solid, just waiting for the rest of the buds to tighten and fill out.

6 months ago

last few days buds have been packing on weight - she’s drinking 5L of full strength nutes every 2 days. can see in the last silhouette photo there’s a lot of filling to do still

7 months ago

Getting thicker, hoping for another 4 weeks before harvest. smaller heads are starting to fill out nicely and some pistils are browning but a lot of fresh white growth is still coming through.

7 months ago

starting to pack on some weight and thicken up. a few heads have a weird growth pattern happening on the very top (see last image). no signs of plant going hermie so not stressed. flushed her with straight water instead of continual full strength nutes - also raised the light by another 10cm give or take

7 months ago

filling up quite nicely, guessing another 6-7 weeks of flower before we cut her down at this point i cut off any smaller heads i thought aren’t gonna be worth keeping and will just take energy away from the main stems

7 months ago

getting the start of “ bud” formations at the top of each head so stretch should be coming to an end soon.

7 months ago

Constant defoling now - no longer training any branches. Smell has already started, just mild at this point. Should start to see bud formations very soon

7 months ago

the very start of flowers coming through

7 months ago

before and after today’s defol - growth sites for buds are coming in, upgraded the fan to help strengthen the stems to hold more weight to account for flower.

7 months ago

Flipped to flower two days ago - lollipopped the branches before flipping along with another defol. Final growth spurt before fully beginning flower, starting to see hairs come through already.

8 months ago

First photo shows before today’s defol. Few more days before flipping into flower - plant giving off a few 7 and 9 fingered leaves. Noticed plant continued to grow slightly out of symmetry due to original genetic mutation - excluding that no other issues have occurred.

8 months ago

Giving it one final week to stretch before flipping (12-12), defoling every day. temps 20-25 and 50-60% humidity.

8 months ago

Not retying any more branches - have raised the light now to just get as much growth as possible before i flip (1-2 weeks from now).

8 months ago

Taking 2L of water each feed (every 2 days give or take), have been and will be re-tying and defoling plant every day or two - getting the stems as low as possible to give side branches enough light to become big heads.

8 months ago

topped second side branches (final top) and retied after doing a bit of a defoliation to get more light in on the smaller heads. plant will double in size during flower so looking at flipping to flower in 2-3 weeks

8 months ago

re-tied all branches including the top two (had to wait for the half-snap to recover (see second pic)). will be topping the secondary branches today or tomorrow that’ll be my final top. after this focusing on tying down and opening up light to the main stem

8 months ago

Had to remove the ties yesterday as the plant outgrew them - one stem had partially snapped as well during the original tie down but had completely healed over already. Looking at doing one more top on the side heads when the next set of leaves come through.

8 months ago

Gave a 2L feed today and tied each head down so start training - no signs of shock came through after repot and topping, will top again but on the side heads this time. temps running 27 and 55% humidity

8 months ago

plant didn’t show signs of stress for transplant or topping. slowing down watering rate due to pot size. all nodes are very tight keeping the light at 30cm away still. 60% humidity 25 degrees

8 months ago

Moved it into the bigger 12L fabric pot (coco/peat/perlite medium had to wash medium few times before transplant) - has strong root system. Watered it in without nutes, next feed back to nutes.

8 months ago

Topped on day 30, plant already bouncing back quite well after feeding. Going to give it another day before moving into the bigger pot. Temps averaging 25-30 still with 55-60% humidity.

8 months ago

Started full strength nutes (5ml/1L) - first true set (5 finger) have come through. Humidity has been low due to low temps coming in. Waiting on next set of leaves to come in so I can top her

8 months ago

Doubling in size every day - roots are visible on bottom of pot so is ready for its big pot (a 3 gallon fabric pot with coco/perlite medium) and will transplant as soon as it’s topped (one more set of leaves to come through)

8 months ago

Have third set of leaves coming through now, will top once the fourth set comes through. Going to transplant into bigger pot in a week or so after topping for recovery.

8 months ago

continuing to have a weird growth pattern but going strong overall, feeding it once every 2-3 days with 1/2 strength nutes.

8 months ago

Feeding 1/2 strength nutrients, has doubled in size the last few days - the mutation looks like it’s topped itself and is growing to one side but growing great despite the weird star. Temps have been around 28-30, humidity is good

9 months ago

Round leaves and genetic mutation leaf are yellowing before falling off - few true leaves starting to come through. Started 1/4 strength nutrients and have taken off the humidity glass dome and started the gentle fan to strengthen the stem

9 months ago

Leaves perked up and green colour returned after first nutrient feed, noticeable increase in size as well

9 months ago

Cranked 150W light up to 100% and lowered the plant by 5cm to accomodate for the heat - multiple new leaves poking through, the mutated leaf has a slight yellow tinge so I’m thinking it’ll fall off eventually

9 months ago

60% humidity and 30 degrees - true leaf has appeared however only one, thinking this photo has a tri-leaf genetic mutation as I can see what looks like two more true leaves coming through the centre. Excluding genetic abnormality plant appears healthy and is going well

9 months ago

First two jagged leaves are starting to appear, plant has not changed in height but the starter leaves had doubled in size prior to true leaves appearing. Currently have plastic dome still over seedling - temps been 27-30 and humidity staying 55-60

9 months ago

Plant 3cm high - 65% humidity 27.4 degrees. One leaf appears slightly droopy with slight yellow discolouration - have had issues regulating humidity.

9 months ago

Seedling 70% humidity 28 degrees Plant is 2.6cm tall Top of pot is 15cm away from 150W light on 50%
