________________

This is the day that it went into this tent. Was a clone from a mother plant.



Lolli-popped at about 5 days before the turn to 12/12.



Reduced the light by an hour every two days leading into turn. I.e.:

• 20 Dec-18/6
• 22 Dec-17/7
• 24 Dec16/8
• 26 Dec 15/9
• 28 Dec 14/10
• 30 Dec 13/11 and
• 1st January 12/12.

Did this for $its and giggles because the tent is in your pocket. Yep, can run all the AC-Infinity gear from a phone.



And off we go...

2 weeks into flower
All seems to be going well. Plenty of bud sites and looking pretty healthy, although the under-canopy is getting pretty bushy but not too keen on going near her with the shears. She just looks too happy.

Put a screen in to keep it from getting out of control and it's doing its job. Did this from the very beginning and next time will wait about 3-4 weeks into flower before putting the net in. Just stuff I've subsequently read that tells me that that's what I should have done. Comments?


5 weeks into flower [around the half way mark]



She's coming along nicely now. Lots of trichs in development and starting to get a nice stench. It looks good to me but there is a lot of leaf and bud underneath that's getting no light. The nugs under there seem like they have some body to them and not too many are popcorn but I'm wondering are they sucking too much energy and not giving anything back. If so, should I thin it out under there??

More updates to come as she grows.

1. No haze plant is going to finish in 10 weeks. Idgaf what your breeder advertised. Plan on 14. Might get it in 12 if you drop your light time down to 10hrs after week 8 or 9.
2. Put up a second scrog net. Those buds will get heavy af and sag your branches. You don't want them falling onto eachother
3. There's a good chance your bloom cycle started a few days before you anticipated. Most strains will start when their dark times hit 9 or 10hrs.

Looking good so far

Thanks Va. I have heard that I'm looking down the barrel of more like 12 weeks. I believe the result is worth the wait. Also, I just edited my post and added a question at the end. Any views on my shade issues?

I don't like doing any pruning this late in the grow. Mostly you want to trim up anything under your net before your stretch run is finished. I would leave them and be more proactive on your next run.
They are probably getting more reflected light they you realize. In another 2ish weeks she will start self pruning. She will stop putting energy into leafs that require more energy then they produce.

Breeder times need to be taken with a grain of salt, they are largely marketing and when they are accurate that is in their condition and methods that are going to be more controlled and refined then any home grower, even though you got a quite fine setup. When I ran a SLH it ran 98days(14weeks). Don't sweat counting days plants don't know how to ready a calendar. Look for all your pistils to turn orangeish brown and receded into the flowers

Sup man.

Will post a complete update for the last five weeks very soon. Have had a couple issues with heat and humidity. Had to cut a couple out which made me cry a little. 10 weeks today and still look a while away from ready.

just reduced the light form 12/12 to 10/14 today

here’s a couple of pics since last time. Full updalte to come. Life’s been busy.
