Day 77 (49 days flowering)

7 weeks of flowering are in the books for my bag seed. I'm guessing 2-3 more weeks.

My Girl Scout Cookie auto is 4 weeks old. Probably 6-8 weeks left on that one. I will sprout a Blue Dream auto in 2 weeks, so it will be able to go inside the tent when I harvest the bag seed. I think I will probably pop a seed every 4 weeks after that. Rather than harvest both plants at the same time, I will harvest one plant every 4-6 weeks. If I end up with a log jam and have 3 plants in the tent at once, that will be ok for a short amount of time.

Day 79 (51 days flowering)

Watered yesterday, gave only 1/2tsp of cal-mag instead of 1tsp. I'll see how she reacts, maybe go 1/2tsp for a week or two and then straight h2o.

Day 81 (53 days flowering)

Watered yesterday, no cal-mag or nutes, just 1 gallon plain distilled water. PH tested at 6.3-6.4, runoff tested at about 6.1-6.2.

Did some shopping in anticipation of harvest

10 pack of plastic hangers
50 pack of closepins
10 pack of 8gram Boveda 62% packs
5 pack of mini hygrometers
1 liter bottle of cal-mag (250ml is going fast)

Day 82 (54 days flowering)

Watered today, this time giving a nice feeding. 1 gallon distilled water, 1tsp cal-mag, 1tsp tiger bloom, 1 tsp big bloom. I'll alternating feeding/water for 2 weeks and then being flushing.

Full blown hermie and all, I'm going to push this plant 4 more weeks (thus the feeding today). All it's leaves are still green (minus the damage from the cal mag deficiency a month ago). This thing is no where near being done. It's producing seeds on every branch and bud, including the main cola. Never saw any bananas, but the entire thing is seeded. So weird.

My GSC auto is 5 weeks old. Hoping to just line these 2 harvests up (GSC and hermie bag seed), which will allow me to clean the tent and start 2 NEW autos at the same time.

Day 83 (55 days flowering)

Pistils are turning red fast. Tomorrow will be 8 weeks.

Day 86 (58 days flowering)

Lights were left on for 21 hours instead of 12. First time this has happened, so i'm just going to leave the lights off for 3 hours and then turn the timer back on. This plant has already hermed, so I guess it's not a huge deal, but still upsetting.

I moved the entire tent/setup to facilitate a change in my exhaust. It's now going out the window and it's making a big difference. I must have hit the switch on the timer while I was moving everything.

Day 87 (59 days flowering)

Watered yesterday. 1 gallon of distilled h2o w/ 1tsp cal-mag added in.

Smell is super strong when the tent is open. The exhaust and the room in general don't smell, but wow what a punch in the face!

I harvested a small lower branch on 8/17 (one that is full blown hermie). I dried it for 5 days (8/22). It's been in a jar the last 2 days. I just smoked a bowl (6 hits) and i'm actually high. First smoke of the day, but nonetheless, i'm high. Great feeling.

Poor girl took the deficiency rough and hermed on me. But she is getting a lot more frosty and swelling some too. 3-4 more weeks I think

Day 88 (60 days flowering)

Watered today. Nothing but h2o, one entire gallon, no cal-mag. About 10-15% runoff.

The buds are not swelling much, but I do notice an increase of trichomes and stickiness.

Day 90 (62 days flowering)

3 months ago I decided to make this my test run and start growing again.

Well, it's made it this far. heat stress, cal-mag deficiency, hermie and all. Tomorrow will be 9 weeks flowering.

I'll post pics tonight when I water. Another round of just h2o. Leaves are very green for 9 weeks, I don't think she needs anymore nutrients.

You always learn the most from the hard ones. Do you have a microscope?

I have a 60x-120x scope. I see about 60/40 clear/milky, a few more clear I believe. Only amber I see is on sugar leaves.

Day 91 (63 days flowering)

9 weeks today. Here is some pics

Day 93 (65 days flowering)

Starting to reach the finish line. I snipped a small popcorn nug last night and it's looking mostly cloudy, some clear.

I've given just plain h2o for 3 straight waterings. It hasn't had nutes for 8 days now

Popcorn nug had 15 (yes 15) big, hard brown seeds in it.

One day I decide I'm just going to end it and harvest, the next I decide to let it keep going.

Today I feel like chopping.

Day 94 (66 days flowering)

Well, all signs point to this bitch pollinating my GSC auto I have that's 47 days old (12/12 from seed). I knew it was possible but wanted to increase my yield for this harvest, so threw a GSC auto in.

No reason to harvest either early at this point. Let them both finish completely and then clean the entire tent and room.

Day 95 (67 days flowering)

Almost 10 weeks into flowering. I could see this thing going another 2-3 weeks. As frustrating as this hermie has been, it's been a learning experience and i'll get to fine tune my dry/cure process for my next grows.

Day 96 (68 days flowering)

Watered today. Just plain h2o. 11 days without nutrients.
