Day: 80
Well day 80 was the day. Checked her out and a little over 50% amber so didn’t want her getting too much more so went ahead and chopped. She’s got a really sweet, citrusy and almost a hint of diesel in her. Really looking forward to her drying out so I can give her a try. She wasn’t huge but still ended up with 154 grams but we’ll see where she’s at when dry.

Day: 79
Just letting her go until the weekend when she’ll get chopped. Hopefully her being dried out gets her fattening up a bit before beforehand. She’s about 30% amber so thinking she’ll be right about 40-50% but chop day.

Dukeshaba Damn man sexy
Day: 78
Was just about to go ahead and chop today but decided against it and will give her till the weekend. She’s at about 25% amber so just about where I’d like her to be so just letting her completely dry out before chopping.

Day: 77
Nothing new, just waiting to chop. Might give her another flush tomorrow or Wednesday, just to make sure all the nutes are out of the soil.

Day: 76
Was almost ready to cut the girl today but decided to hold off till next weekend. She’s already bulked you’re quite a bit but gonna give her time to feed of the nutes in the leaves and see how much more she will bulk.

Day: 75
She’s starting to show a bit of amber trichs now but only about 1-2%. She could be getting chopped next weekend but possibly sooner depending on how she finishes off.
5 years ago
Day: 74
Gave her a flush using Foxfarm’s Sledgehammer and no just letting her go until she finishes off. Still not really seeing an amber trichs so she’s definitely not ready for the way I like it.
5 years ago
Day: 73
I wish I could get good pictures of the trichs but I never can. I’ve tried different attachments for my phone and everything else but nothing seems to work but either way no clear left and 100% milky but would like to get at least 20-30% amber before chopping but at least I know she’s ready at any time now.

Dukeshaba Another amazing one bro
Day: 72
Not much I can say about this girl right now, just waiting for trichs to be right to chop. Will give her a flush tomorrow or Friday.

MightyMouseThaGod Beautiful looking buds on that plant ! Congrats
Day: 71
She just seems to get frostier everyday, it just keeps packing on. This girl has definitely been on of the frostiest I’ve grown yet. The smell she’s producing just smells like sweet citrus and really looking forward to the chop but will probably give her till the end of week 12. So she’s got about 2 weeks left and the next watering, she’ll be flushed and nothing but water till the end.
5 years ago
Day: 70
She was ready for water today and gave her another feeding of nutes. This will be the last one and next watering I’ll flush with the Sledgehammer and she’ll just get water until she’s done. She is so damn frosty and sweet smelling, she’s gonna be a pain in the ass to trim.
5 years ago
Day: 69
She’s definitely ready for some more water but gonna hold off for another day, just to let her dry up a bit more. I’m gonna do another defoliation tomorrow as well and she should be good to go till the end.
5 years ago
Day: 68
Man oh man, she is frosty as hell and smells really sweet. By the looks of trichs and pistils, I’m probably gonna give her two more weeks until she gets chopped. If she needs longer, I’ll give her more time but I think 2 weeks should be plenty. She drank a ton of water so she might need more either Sunday or Monday.
5 years ago
Day: 66
Ended up having to give her about a gallon and a half of water tonight, she ended up drinking up what was left I guess. The lights being about 12” away seem to be doing her good and not bothering her at all.
5 years ago
Day: 65
Looking great right right now and went ahead and lowered the lights a bit, they’re now about 12” above the canopy. I had 3 other grows going on but for the second time in a couple months the wife left the tent open this morning and didn’t check before she left the room and one of our cats was in there and they destroyed my 3 little ones but left this and my Sour Raspberry Kush alone so deciding what to start next. She’s good on water until the weekend sometime.
5 years ago
Dukeshaba Dude I hear about cats doing that all the time
BBlack19 This is the second time in a couple months, I’m just glad they didn’t mess with my two closest to harvesting. Got plenty of seeds so can always start over, lol. They were only a week or so old so I’ll survive. Damn wife just needs to pay a little more attention, lol.
Day: 64
She is getting sticky and stinky. I did a pretty decent defoliation tonight, just to try and get some of the undergrowth going. The way she’s going, she might only have 2-3 weeks left but I have plenty of meds right now so I’m not in any sort of rush. I see ZERO signs of any sort of nute burns so I’m really starting to like the new nutes and so easy to mix.
5 years ago
Dukeshaba Damn bro she’s a big frosty one already
Day: 63
She was thirsty today, gave her about a gallon and a half of water and another feeding of the Advanced Nutes. Checked with Advanced Nutrients in how often I should feed and they told me every watering but ensure water to a 10-20% runoff so we’ll see how it goes the rest of the way.
5 years ago
Day: 62
Nothing new happening, she’ll need some water tomorrow for sure. Other than that, just watching the fattening and filling in each day.
5 years ago
Day: 61
Almost the end of another week and my god she is one frosty girl and just getting frostier by the day. Won’t really need any water for another couple of days but will keep my eye on her.
5 years ago
Day: 59
She was definitely needing some more water today, pot was light as hell. So I went ahead and gave her another feeding of the advanced nutrients today. I can already see a difference in this girl since giving her one feeding with these nutes.
5 years ago
Day: 58
All still looking good and not much going on right now. Since I’ve chopped my Aurora Borealis, she’s got a bit more room in the tent. Will probably need some water on Friday.
5 years ago
Day: 57
New week and all I can say is WOW. She’s definitely not a giant but she is getting frosty as hell and she’s getting fatter each day. I don’t see any signs of stress or burns from the new nutrients so I’ll say she’s liking them.
5 years ago
Day: 56
She filled out quite a bit last 24 hours, she must of soaked up the water and nutes, the pot was pretty much dry so gave her a gallon of water and nutes today. I’m about out of FoxFarm so I ordered some Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Grow/Micro/Bloom and gave her a feeding of those nutes. We’ll see how she does.
5 years ago
Day: 55
All looks great and she’s frosting up and filling in everyday. Will be chopping the Aurora Borealis soon so hopefully I’ll be able to start smelling the citrus from this girl.
5 years ago
Day: 54
She’s filling in nicely and nothing else really going on with her right now. Next feeding I’ll do a check of the runoff pH and make sure everything is still good.
5 years ago
Dukeshaba Yea man other than this I honestly have a huge garden as well. Plants are amazing. This one is just by far the greatest lol. Watching the frost crawl down the leaves is cool too. I can’t wait to try autos when mine are done
Day: 53
She’s looking good and starting to get nice and frosty. Not putting out much of a smell right now but might be getting covered up by my Aurora Borealis that’s close to being chopped. She was pretty dry so gave her a gallon of pH’d water and cal-mag today.
5 years ago
Day: 51
Did a little leaf tucking today and she’s getting really close to needing some water so will give some tomorrow. Other than that she’s doing great.
5 years ago
Day: 50
Starting week 8 and she’s budding up nicely. She’s starting to really drink up water so she’s getting close to needing another gallon or so. She’s pretty opened up so I haven’t really had to do much to her. Every now and again, I need to tuck or remove a leaf but other than that, she’s soaking up the light.
5 years ago
Day: 49
Not much I can really say about this girl right now, she’s chugging along and doing great. Starting to get a bit frosty, just not a very big girl but still have a couple more seeds so will definitely try her again in the near future.
5 years ago
Day: 48
Gave her a feeding of nutes today, she took a full gallon. I was also told to add some honey to the mixture so we’ll see what that does. She’s not a very big girl but I had to tuck some leaves to keep a few bud sites open to the light.
5 years ago
Day: 47
Nothing much new today, she’s stretching about and inch every 24 hours but still not a big girl but she’s looking nice and healthy. She’ll be getting a feeding of butter in the next couple of days.
5 years ago
Day: 45
Nothing much to report right now. Just letting her go and do her thing and will give her a good feeding of nutes next watering and hopefully she’ll really start taking off.
5 years ago
Day: 44
She’s really doing good now and buds are developing nicely. She was really thirsty today so gave her a full gallon of plain pH’d water without cal-mag and pH’d to 6.4. I added a second 1000W LED light to the tent for now to give this girl and my other some more light since my bigger two are taking up some space. Once those two are harvested I’ll cut back to just one because my normal 76 degree temps are up to 81 now.

Day: 43
Starting week 7 and she’s doing really good now. Starting to bud and flower nicely and looking forward to her really taking off. She wasn’t ready for water today but should be ready tomorrow.

Day: 42
The end of week 6 and she’s progressing nicely now. Think I’m about done with the LST and going to let her start getting some vertical growth going. The branches are getting pretty stiff so don’t want to risk breaking anything. Will be giving her some fresh water in the next day or two.
5 years ago
Day: 41
Nothing much new happening with the girl right now. She’s good on water and just took her out and readjusted some of the branches and tucked a few leaves.
5 years ago
Day: 40
She’s starting to take if now so did some more LST and retied a lot of the branches back down. Removed a couple big fan leaves at the top that were blocking the lower sites. Gave her the first feed of bloom nutes today and added a little molasses to the mix. Recalibrated my pH pen and checked the runoff and it’s a little high, 7.2 but it’s definitely not as bad as the 8.2 it initially was reading. Next watering I’ll give it a little lower pH to try and lower the overall pH in the soil.
5 years ago
Day: 38
She’s looking pretty good right now and still waiting another day or two and will continue the LST. Should have my new bottles of pH solution so I will be testing everything out once my pen is recalibrated.
5 years ago
Day: 37
Was planning on doing a flush today because the runoff pH was really high yesterday but going to wait and recheck everything when I get the new solution in. Holding off of continuing LST for another day or so to get a little more stretch out of her.
5 years ago
Day: 36
Starting week 6 and did a lot more LST today. Was able to slowly tied the main stem down a bit to try and get everything evened out and she looks like she’s been taking nicely to the training. Did a check of the soil pH and it’s definitely higher that it should be (8.1), which could explain why she’s so light in color so will do a flush tomorrow and hopefully get everything squared away before she really starts flowering.
5 years ago
Day: 35
The end of week 5 and she’s looking a bit better and giving all the tied down branches a little time to stretch before retying everything down again but trying to get everything to catch up to the main stem. Trying to rearrange the way she sits in the tent to try and get the lights to get the smaller branches to stretch.
5 years ago
Day: 34
Continued with the LST today and gave her a feeding of nutrients today. She’s definitely still pale in color but seems to be growing well otherwise. Hopefully she’s just crying out for some more nitrogen and the feeding will help.
5 years ago
Day: 33
Decided to hold of feeding her one more day. She was still slightly damp but should be ready for a feeding tomorrow. Continued some LST today so hopefully she won’t be stressed out too much.
5 years ago
Day: 32
Overall she’s doing well but she’s definitely been really pale in color compared to other grows I’ve done. I will probably up the nutes just a bit and hopefully that’ll help her out. Going to give her a couple more days and will continue her training.
5 years ago
Day: 31
Into week 5 and back from my vacation. Wife did good with her while I was gone. She definitely needed some water today so gave her a good dose and next watering I’ll give her some nutes. Pistils are starting to show already but will continue with veg nute a or another week or two. Finally started LST and hopefully lower branches will start stretching now.
5 years ago
Day: 24
Gave her a bit of water today and was going to start some LST but I’ll be out of town for a week and my wife will be taking care of my girls while I’m gone so I don’t want her to have to deal with the training so I’ll start when I get back next Sunday.

Day: 22
Starting week 4 and will start doing some LST with her tomorrow. Gave her a light feeding of nutes today.
5 years ago
Day: 21
The end of week 3 and she’s looking pretty good and seems like she’s picking up the growing pace. Will definitely be starting some LST within the next few days to try and start getting light to the lower growth and to start getting her shaped.
5 years ago
Day: 20
Almost the end of week 3 and she’s doing good. Not much else going on with her but she was pretty dry so I gave her a bit of water. Will probably give her a couple more days and start some LST. I also added a little bit of soil to the pot to try and top it off. After a few waterings the soil compacted down enough to where it was only about 3/4’s full.
5 years ago
Day: 18
Nothing much to report today, she’s chugging along. Did give her a bit of water and low dose of nutes.
5 years ago
Day: 16
Week 3 and she’s looking healthy for the most part but just not a very big girl so far. I’ve been running a lot of FastBuds and this is my first from Sweet Seeds so might just be how they are. Gave her a healthy drink of water today and will just continue to keep an eye on her.
5 years ago
Day: 14
Ending week 2 and she’s looking ok but a bit dainty. She’s just not getting very big for being 2 weeks old but gonna keep at her and hopefully she’ll speed up.
5 years ago
Day: 13
Almost the end of week 2 and she’s looking a bit better after giving her a light feeding yesterday. I’ll continue to keep an eye on the pale color and may just stick with foxfarm’s schedule and continue giving her a feeding twice a week.
5 years ago
Day: 12
She’s still looking a bit pale and not sure what’s happening. She’s barely been watered and soil is pretty dry so went ahead and gave her a small amount of water but added a little FoxFarm Big Bloom to it, so we’ll see if that helps.
5 years ago
Day: 11
She’s still slightly yellow but she’s growing. I’ve been going very light with the watering so not sure what’s causing it. Maybe I’ll give her a very light feeding of nutes next watering and see if that helps.
5 years ago
Day: 9
Still doing good but a little light in color but got the humidity up and bit so we’ll see how she’s doing after a few days of higher humidity.
5 years ago
Day: 8
Starting week 2 and she’s a little on the lighter shade of green so working on getting the humidity up a bit for her and went and out a glass back over her to try and help. Gave her a light watering as well cause the soil was pretty dry, think this winter weather is drying everything up quicker so probably gonna have to break out the humidifier.
5 years ago
Day: 7
End of week 1 and it looks like she’s coming along nicely. Just trying to keep the watering to a minimum to avoid any overwatering while she’s small.
5 years ago
Day: 6
Almost the end of week 1 and she’s looking pretty good right now. She’s got some yellowing from a bit overwatering early but she’s recovered well.
5 years ago
Day: 5
She’s looking a lot better today but still a bit pale. Checked the soil and she’s pretty dry so gave her a little bit of water and just did a circle around her about 2-3” from her base.
5 years ago
Day: 4
Not much to report other than the slight yellowing but I’m thinking it’s due to pre soaking the soil and was still just too damp before I put her in so hoping as it dries out she gets better.
5 years ago
Day: 3
She’s looking a little better today and gonna hold off on spraying her with any water for a bit, just gonna keep the glass slightly damn and over top for humidity for now.
5 years ago
Day: 2
So far so good, though her first set of leaves do look a bit odd and not sure what to think about it. I’m sure it’s something she’ll grow out of so I’ll just keep an eye on her for now.
5 years ago
Day: 1
Today is officially day 1 for my count and her root was about 2” out the bottom of the rapid rooter so went ahead and placed her in her final 3 gallon pot. I’ll keep a glass over her for awhile to make sure she’s got a higher humidity than what’s running in the tent right now.

Day: 0
Started germinating one seed on 31 Oct and the taproot just started poking out today, 2 November. So decided I would get her started in a rapid rooter and once she has her first set of leaves, I’ll start the count.
