Last night a small seedling popped out from soil. From now starts a 12 weeks journey.

 

[Cappuchino]

One week old seedling here. I will feed her a little on next watering.

 

[Cappuchino]

Two weeks old seedling here. Feed her twice this week 0,5L of water with 0,5 ml/L of Grow. Next time I will feed more water and nutrients.
About a half a week ago I started LST: plant had 2 nodes at the moment.

 

[Cappuchino]

It's a girl!
Last night (19 days from breaking soil) plant reached maturity and showed pistils.
I will continue LST and try to pull a few more colas from her.

 

[Cappuchino]

Three weeks old plant. In two days since last photo she pushed one more node and keeps stretching.

You already can see two secondary colas on the right corner of the photo. They both have two nodes. Plant itself has five nodes. Will try to pull one or two more before she will start to flower.

Next watering I will feed her 2 ml\L of Grow to stimulate more growth.

 

[Cappuchino]

Four weeks old plant. On 4.20 got stoned and messed up my grow. Leaves are curling down and die off with black spots which indicates over watering and nitrogen toxicity. Given it's an autoflower and it got stunt during the stretch, it will be a dwarf.

Hi, did you grow with lights on 24/7? Just asking, thanks, Bo

you know that little symbol on the lower right hand of the package indicates that all your seeds are feminized, right?

Day/Night - 18/6. Works fine in my experience.

Plant is five weeks old now. I cut off all the dead leaves and some dead branches. One of the remaining colas looks like it will yield something. I will be more careful with nutrients from now on.

 

[Cappuchino]

Plant is almost seven weeks old. She had recovered, more or less, after nutrient burn and now is flowering and growing buds. Now I can only wait when she will be ready. I think it will take 5 to 6 weeks more, due to the stun.

 

[Cappuchino]

Plant is 8 weeks old now. Buds are fattening and calyx taking some color. Pistils slowly turning orange. Buds are sticky and smelling sweet.
I am so upset with my self on messing up this grow: could pull twice of what I will have.

 

[Cappuchino]

Nine weeks since braking soil. Nothing is really going on. Buds get fat and frosty.
I made a picture of calyx from lowest and middle buds. On lower bud most of trichomes are transparent with some of them milky. In the middle it is 50/50 milky/transparent. On the top there are some amber already.
Given this harvest time is around 2-3 weeks from now.

 

[Cappuchino]

Plant is 10 weeks old. You can see on picture of calyx that most of trichomes are milky and some of them are orange. It's almost harvest time. As was written on the pack.
Good genetics, nice plant, definitely recommended. Not for beginners thought.

This weekend I harvested the plant. Due to rainy weather for last couple of weeks, plant was affected by bud rot. Half of the bud on main cola went to the rubbish bin. Now plant is drying in the box. With 80% RH it will be long and hard process. I have to keep eye on buds, so they will not get rotten.
Some leaves left after harvest. With dry trim collected, I will cook a bit of canna butter.

I did a test smoke and this strain appeared to be strong as hell. Nice smell and smooth smoke.

Hi, everyone!

It's week and a half since harvest. Plant was drying for a week in a dry box. It was too humid those days and I lost rest of the main cola to white mold. Luckily I saved everything else. Now buds are in a jar. And stored at almost perfect 65% Rh, thanks to Boveda 62% humidity packs.

The smell is astonishing! I don't feel any strawberry, but there is very strong citric smell after 3 days in the jar. And no skunk smell like +Speed have. Would choose Auto Strawberry Gum from those two.

Reminder to my self and advice to any one who may need it: use mycorrhiza for every grow. I see difference in quality in grows done back to back. I will renew my medium for next grow as well.

sheeesh you lost almost everything! That was a decent amount of bud considering the stunted growth... too bad you lost most of it to bud rot... question tho... if you grew these under a light indoors how did it get so wet that it rotted? Are you sure you just didn't allow air to flow thru the plant? And that's what caused the rot or mildew/mold?
