I won these bean in one of the raffles on the old site. I figured it was about time to test them out. I dropped 1 bean to soak for 24hrs. and into an incubation box. Days later we had a tail. Dropped into some soil and we’re off.

I’ve been tieing her branches down to even out the canopy out. She’s been a strong grower so far and no issues. Open structure so I haven’t had to do any trimming, just leaf tucking and bending branches to the light. I bumped up the EC a bit. Humidity has been my biggest fight lately. I have a dehumidifier but will have to make some space before I can set it up.
Doing well and getting into stretch. So far so good and its been an easy grow so. The base is about set and shes poised to be a good size plant. I’ll give it a few more days and trim off anything that hasn’t made it past the topping point. From there I chop off inward pointing fan leaves and any fans that are shading tops. That will be the last heavy defol.
Doing well and hitting her stride in stretch. Starting to stack on all these promising nodes. So far so good. Gave her a quick defol. Popped off the inward facing fans and any nodes that haven’t made it past the topping point. She’s going to be a decent one.
She put a good strech on and I’d say she is on the medium/large side. We should have a decent harvest in the end. I’m adding some more P/K and started adding Brix. She’s a thirsty girl drinking about a gal a day. At this point it’s just up to me to keep her drinking. I had a pretty good last trim session with her today and set her to the corner to fill out. Set it and forget it.
Doing good and no issues so far. Stretch is done and just flowering along. I did some decent defol last week and plucking leaves here and there for light. I may try to spread the branches out a bit somehow to help get more air and light to the middle. I need to get better control of my Rh. I have a AC Infinity tent sized dehumidifier but I just haven’t gone through the exercise of setting it up. I won’t have a choice soon enough as we getting further into flower.
Doung well and starting to fatten up a little. Getting g some brown spots on the upper most fan leaves. I guessing I pushed the P/K a little too hard. It doesn’t look to be getting worse but I’ll have to keep and eye on it. So far she’s a nice size plant with decent trich coverage. I’m looking forward to see if she bulks up in these last few weeks. I will have to keep this humidity in check as we get closer to the finish line.
