Something I learned about feeding her..I cut back on nutes from my regular Indica doses..to about 75% of normal fearing the Sativa's sensitivity. She seemed to be losing too many leaves at week 5 so I upped both the base and the PK boost..Mistake..she was fine and the tips burned..No damage and she continued on normally. This has been a learning experience for me..enjoyable too.

Yeah I have had slight Yellow leaf tips on some of mine and one of my ghilattos top leafs were really yellow.think I need hit it with some nitrogen.i was going to buy the liquid fish,bat quano fertilizer mix.npk is 9-6-2

Day 10 Flowering
Coco coir - 880ppm/5.9 ph
Liquid Karma/Pure Blend Pro Hydro/CaliMagic
77-80f Leaf Surface Temp
60-72% RH
32762~lux/720~ PPFD 3000k Average
4" Light Height
12/12

Now I have more colas at 8-14" above the net. Super cropped several tall branches that were messing up my light height. Shaved three of the ladies legs and took clones for the aero cloner. These aren't heavy feeders at 188ppm tap and only 600~ppm in nutrients. No deficiencies or nothing it's smooth sailing.

Canopy shots, leg shots and an under canopy shot

Day 99 Just about there..TG..I am tired of this bitch and thankfully with all the leaves gone..trimming won't be that bad.

Malawi x Panama is down!..
Holy crap..tons of very heavy colas..3 hrs to trim and I thought she would be easy..NOT...thousands of tiny sugar leaves to get out of those tight buds..I mean tight AF! Not what I expected from a Sativa at all.

I think about 10 qt jars of NOT fluffy buds! :love1:
(1/2 of the plant)

I will be watching yours..assuming I survive the scissor hash! LOL

You did great man! Near a pound when it's dry is my prediction. What's the smell and feel like?

TY..
The smell is very hard to describe..almost a lemoney-lime fuel smell..Feel is also hard to describe until she drys more.
Exceptionally sticky too.

Luckily I have a bunch of others to smoke, but I am really anxious on this one (I usually sample at 3 days dry.)

Day 12 Flowering
Coco coir - 880ppm/5.5 ph
Liquid Karma/Pure Blend Pro Hydro/CaliMagic
77-80f Leaf Surface Temp
60-72% RH
32762~lux/720~ PPFD 3000k Average
4" Light Height
12/12

1. I finally finished shaving their beautiful legs. Took about 40 clones. Cloner kept leaking but I got it.

2. Super cropped above and below the canopy and it's been a battle restricting height. They're growing at 2-4" a day and breaking branches has helped overall canopy growth.

Not much else going on...

Beautiful...you really filled out that net! As she begins to take off..you will really have your work cut out for you..It really is a labor of love that we enjoy.:D

Tried a small bud yesterday..Let's just say...(when dry for a few..I will make a real report..assuming that my eyes open up again..(haven't had the droopy eyelid in yrs..LOL)

TURN BACK THE CLOCKS..IT'S 1965 AGAIN x 100!...LOL

I'm surprised how quickly and well it filled the tent, I was sure I had not vegged long enough.

I'm excited for smoke, my stash is almost spent and im ready for three months of sobriety to let this strain tear me up

Day 14 - 3rd Week of Flowering
Coco coir - 680ppm/5.5 ph
Liquid Karma/Pure Blend Pro Hydro/CaliMagic

32762~lux/720~ PPFD 3000k Average
4" Light Height

I neglected to mention they were throwing pistils around week 1 day 5. Well they're throwing more pistils looking like spiky clusters. I've finished super cropping, put up the second net, and dropped my ppms a bit. Trying to see how little nutrient I need to keep everything green and then focus on doing a three week fade to let the plants use the remainder of nutrients.

Still growing every day by some inches every day and having no issues.

Lots of pistils. Thought they may have been under fed but they look fine. I wish I could live there

If you like concentrates..Yikes..Super potent Rosin too!

Outrageous! (can't even describe it..well over 50% THC but I have no way to test it.)
Get a Hair straightener and some parchment paper and take a try!

I had considered a press at one point but my wife loves her bong and I vape predominantly. In going to have to try some thanks for the video

The stretch has finally started to slow and the left side is beginning to bud pretty quickly compared to the right side. Not sure why though.

Trimmed off some scrawny branches, cleaned any remainder below the net and super cropped hopefully for the last time.

I don't consider myself a good grower but I have achieved success in monster cropping, at least rooting is concerned, and I believe I will have a viable crop to get this perpetual grow going in July. Though I do plan to try Growpito's sim mix, enzymes, and microbes again in a modular ebb and flow since it is easier to reuse the mix and I'll be using less water. Trying to reduce the amount of products I use/water/electricity. In thinking of going with Jacks FeED, either Growpito enzymes and microbes, or seagreen and ogbiowar

Not much else but I did not expect my first time cloning to actually work out. Let's see how I'll fuck this grow up lol
