Nice bro, always wanted to run that strain. Long ride but worth it, hope all goes well with you.

Thanks! I'm ok with the long ride but kind of anxious about keeping her under control.

Howdy folks! Here's the update for August 29/20

Day 17 - Transplanted into a 5 gallon pot. Megacrop is at 2.5gm/gallon. Leaves are a lighter green than expected so may bump it to 3gm/gallon next time.

Day 19 - This is her final home. Temps are cool at night and in the morning but most of the day it is over 83 degrees Fahrenheit in the tent and around 40%rh. Hopefully this is not too hot. Ambient temps will drop over the next few weeks so hopefully it will drop in the tent as well.

Day 19 again. Leaves have darkened slightly I think but I haven't fed since transplant two days ago.

Thanks for dropping by!

Home sweet home! Plants are looking good Hutch!

Hi everyone! Here's the update for Sept 1:

Day 21. On day 20 fed 2L water with 2.5grams Megacrop to the gallon. Colour of leaves is a little darker now, just right!

Day 22 - Light is reading 32,500 LUX at canopy. Temperatures are now around 81F during lights on with RH about 40%. May do a little LST in a day or two with a goal of flipping on day 28.

Bye, bye!

Nice journal Hutch, you make it look super easy to achieve this nice stout beautiful profile! I grew the longest spindley stems in my promix this spring

Thank you! I try to keep a record of LUX readings from my light meter. Node spacing is usually related to light intensity. So spindly plants are generally the result of not enough light during the vegetative and stretching phases. Trial and error along with a cheapo LUX meter helped me dial it in.

This is the first grow using my new 150w cheapo clone LED and so far I'm quite impressed. But it means I'm back to trial and error but so far so good. I doubt if I can get much more than 50,000 LUX though, without getting too close. I hope that's enough light for flowering!

She looks to be bursting with good health

Hi folks! Time for another update
Flip days 4-7

Flip day 4 - 7 inches tall, 41,000 LUX. Gave her a good drink today of 5L water with Mega Crop at 3.5. She is growing very symmetrically with wide node spacing. She seems to be growing in width as she grows in height. She is nothing like any plant I've grown before, I guess because I've never a tropical sativa before.

Flip day 5 - 7.5 inches tall.

Flip day 6 - 8 inches tall.

Flip day 7 - 10 inches tall. That's two inches in one day! I raised the light a bit but with her vertical growth the intensity is now 50,000 LUX. It's hot here today so temperature is at 85F in the tent with the door wide open. RH is low ranging between 36% and 40%.

She is quite light in colour, sort of a beautiful lime colour. She responded to an increase in Mega Crop by turning the whole plant a darker shade. She is now back to that lighter green colour so I will be upping the MC to 4.0 next feeding.


Thanks for coming over for a look!

Looks great Hutch. Beautiful fingers on her. Hopefully the feed increase does the trick.

I looked back at my current outdoor grow pics and at 34 days mine looked like your day 16 pics. These ones you are running, Hutch, are just really beautiful!

I love how clean and well organised your grow is

Order literally makes my heart sing and it looks to me like your plant appreciates it too

Thank you! This thing is a monster! She should begin to flower in a few days, I wonder if that will end the stretch? There's lots of room but at the current rate of growth she'll outgrow the tent in about 10 days!

My rising sign is Virgo.

I’m not entirely sure what that means!

LOLLING!
