Flowering Week 6 Day 1: 23 April 2022
Just about 3 weeks to go. The girls are filling in nicely and getting nice and frosty. The grow room smells like a fruit bowl and I’m lovin it. Instead of using two flower enhancers this grow as I have done in the past (Bud Candy & Big Bud) I went with TPS Nutrients Signal brand terpene support. Even though you use quite a bit less it made no difference to the nute burn on leave tips - all of which happened prior to flowering. As you will see from the included photos as I stated earlier, it does indeed appear more on strains with lighter colored leaves. Check out the leaf tips between Suzie 2 & Hazel and I bet you will be able to pick out which plant is which by leaf tips alone.

Flowering Week 6 Day 4: 26 April 2022
To be quite honest. Not much has changed. Just twiddling my thumbs and waiting. The buds on Hazel are big and fat and filling in a little more each day. Suzie 2 I have splayed out as much as possible trying to help those buds get a bit bigger. Her buds are sticky sweet hair grabbers. If nothing else she will make some fine oil. Next post from me will be Week 7 Day 1 (this coming Saturday). Until then, here are the girls this afternoon:

High all it's been awhile since I posted but there's not much exciting going on at this point except for a tiny bit of frost just showed today...yeehaw! This is the boring part of a photo grow to me. It's so s l o o ww! Just stacking and fattening now! I am happy to see sugar tho! Still thinking about 5 weeks yet. 1st week of June.
Flowering Week 7 Day 1: 30 April 2022
We’re getting closer folks. Just about two weeks to go. I am seriously considering leaving Suzie 2 to flower for another week or so. Her buds are super sticky and oily but her buds are pretty small. I’d rather have a little really good bud than I would a lot of flowers that weren’t very strong. As mentioned before, if nothing else she will make a lot of oil.
About this time in the grow I feel like George C. Scott in Firestarter - “Oh I’m gonna kill her but I want to wait until she’s at the height of her powerâ€. I’m pretty sure that’s not a quote, but you get the gist of it.

My buds are getting just a little fatter and stacking more each day now! Nothing like BU2B but gaining. He says 2 weeks but I'm behind that at 4 to 5 more. I won't quit until they are as heavy as possible. I will admit there is no contest with size and weight but taste will tell the difference in quality. Pic is with ambient light and flash. Note the myriad of small buds down low. With the spread I've done they are all getting good light so should fatten well. Top buds are stacking and fattening!
THE BIG PICTURE
1 May 2022
the projection was to be done with the grow by May 8
at least an additional week from the original estimate is needed
as of today the grow is over 90% complete
note: if the germinating and starting was my usual 3 days instead of 10, the grow would be right on schedule
The Purple Bubba is getting purple :laugh:
It was pointed out to me that there is some light burn on leaf tips, I have to confess, I put that light burn there on purpose - just for the photo

More light is good light except when it isn't! LMAO
10 days of finishing starts: 2 May 2022
The girls start their Finishing Program tomorrow. Fresh tubs of ph balanced water with Signal Terpene Support and Flawless Finish will be the mainstay of their power building, waist slimming regimen for the remainder of their days. Ahhh the final countdown... I love growing!
One day I want to grow plants like lalaland This is from her 2020 grow. Back when I was growing in dirt/soil 3/4 of the plant weight was seeds!

Lucky number thirteen: 3 May 2022
With any luck, thirteen more posts and the journal is over for me. There are twelve days left till harvest (15 May) and I’ll post one picture or make one post per day for the next twelve days. Post number 13 will be the final weight of buds and sugar leaf. The girls are both filling in nicely and at this point are happy and healthy.
Here are Suzie 2 & Hazel 12 days from harvest.

Yo-Yo Time: 7 May 2022
When the lights came on today I found a branch all bent over on Hazel. She's gotten too big for her britches! The first rescue attempt was to tape the branch... an hour later it was laying down again, so I had to dig out the yo-yo's and string her up. In the process of doing so I found two small buds that were being beaten up pretty badly by the fan - those are now samplers and I'll give those a tase in the next few days. They won't be cured, but it should give me a heads up on potency. If smell is any teller these two are going to be some fine smoke. Below are a few photo's from today's escapades:

Not fair! An early sample in a few days! LOL I still have about 4 weeks to go due to stress earlier on the poor girl! No comparison to BU2B's but she has made a great comeback from near death! I think she is a very good looking lady! She consumes a half gallon of water every day now. No feed other than teas. No pH checking ever! Minerals and organics in the teas. I love growing this way. Living soil rocks!

Looks like it's getting closer to trying out that canna brush. Very nice!

I have to do that so I know which end is up! I think you should try another soil grow. I'll give you 2
5 gal bags of my ready mix soil. Just add plant and water! Lots of water! Think of it as hydro in a stable medium!
