taproot about an inch long, which I wasn’t expecting as it didn’t look like the bean was cracked yesterday. I planted the way as #2. Dug out some dirt then made a seed hole. Once the seedling gets to 1-1.5” I’ll back fill up to the leaves.

Looking good nothing to note. Watering 16oz every 2-3 days.

Started very light LST

Started Nutes 09/05/22 today using week 2-3 in Fox Farms Nute Ref
Looks like its growing every day. Continued with very light LST.

Continued with LST but decided to use landscape fabric staples. I like them and will probably make them the go to from now on.
Definitely a female I've got a few good shots of her.

Removed most of the landscape staples used for LST. Kept a few to keep the bigger branches level with the shortest.
Watered+Nutes using weeks 4-5/6. Going to more frequent watering 2-3 days (usually) is too long. They don't look good when I water.
Day 24 N& 28 light defol, mainly sucker fan leaves that covered bud sites.
I think it's in preflower since ~day 21
Starting to wreak a little like diesel. Faint but it's there.

LST is done basically. A few staples still holding a few bigger branches to keep it level.
Been flowering for about 2 weeks.
Changing water schedule to 1-2 days, 2-3 days is way too long now. The ladies didn't look good at last water.

light defoliation to give buds better light.

Overnight last night I had 3 bud sites shoot up out of nowhere, the were taller than the rest of the canopy. Crazy...


Post Defol



Overnight they popped up.

Looking good, getting a very deep purple in the bud. I counted almost 20 bud sites. Ranging from about the size of my thumb to the width of 2 fingers.

Gave flower tea made of worm castings (1cup) + coffee grounds (1/2 cup) + bat shit (1/2 cup - 0,7,0) in gallon of water. Diluted 50/50 with pH'd water.

Removed fan leaves on bud sites. Cleared out the center as much as possible. Keeping a few branches down with staples to allow air flow. Any place the leaves and/or buds touched caused a resinous sticky mess. Removing the touching leaves will greatly increase air flow.
