I made a lot of mistakes, very first grow. Root bound once maybe twice. Dried out a few times when very young. No real nutes. High temps. Great bushiness but very little vertical growth. Nodes only 1/2 inch from each other. Had to thin out a lot to make room for air flow.
Vegged for about 5 months. She grew so compacted that it took that long to get her that big. There were around 50 different node sites along the stem, and all the new shoots that started along the branches I left. Major thinning was required.
Flowered for just over 3 months on a 13/11 schedule. She could have gone longer. There were white pistils up until the day I chopped. I harvested by trichome color. 10% amber, 10% clear, 80% cloudy. About a month before harvest she began losing her leaves when I flushed her. She was light green, gold, yellow, purple, pretty much every color you could think of. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures from then.
When I harvested there were no fan leaves, only sugar leaf in the buds. If leaves were dying I'd pull them off, but only if they came off with a light tug. Harvested somewhere around 2 1/2 oz dried. Sampled as I dried and the weight I got after drying for 6 days and curing for another week or so was 2 1/4 oz.
Had a nice clear high that gave me energy. Very light flavor. High temps maybe? After 6 months of curing the bud had a light flavor like a weak red life saver with a little hay and had a sweet flowery aroma. The buds were were not airy but they were light and fluffy. Largest bud weighed about 7.5 grams. Crystals were very long and easy to see by eye. They completely covered the buds.
The flowering pics are from about 1.5-2 month into 12/12.
