WEEK 10 - Time to put my girl into flowering! :)
As from today, I'm changing the light cycle to 12/12, and for the following 8-9 weeks things REALLY gonna happen! Comparing the size between the Therapy and the Blueberry, I don't know what to believe - the Therapy is a LOT bigger, she's just awesome! Hopefully she'll produce a large yield as well, so let's just see how she develops.
Also started adding Bio-Bloom today (4ml/l).
Thank you for all the votes on my CBD Therapy in the diary of the month. Thank you for all the tips, comments and help. It's overwhelming and incredibly fun and inspires me to continue.
Watercuring and drying is done now.
I started watercuring 120617, i submerged under water for 4 days and changed water 2 times a day.
The drying process was done in 2 days with a fan blowing from below at moskitonets with the CBD Therapy on it.
I got 142.45 grams of lovely premium buds.
If i had cured it the traditional way the weight had been around 20-30% more.
And now to a small strain review.
The buds look great, from light to dark green in colure with orange/red hairs all over.
The buds are dense, hard and only have a discreet smell, when you grind it it starts to smell a little Moore but still very discreet.
When water curing cannabis its contracting i little bit and the smell almost vanish and leave a discreet smell of herb.
The smoke is smooth like fresh air with a hint of citrus, fruit, soil, wood, peppercorn and tryffels.
No harshnes, no tickle in the throat and leaves a clean pallet afterwards.
The high.
It gets me a little high in the first 10 minutes, then it changes to a calming effect.
Like a vibrating, varm, relaxing feeling.
It feels a little like gettining a bucket of varm wather over your head and it flows slowly from your head to your toes.
If its in the evening i get a little sleepy and the sleep is the best sleep iv had in sevral years.
It takes away at least 25% of my nervpains and makes my fibromyalgia better so i can function.
And my muscle cramps is under controll.
It gives me more quality of life and energy.
CBD-Crew has done a great job with this strain and it´s just like they claims when it comes to how it grows and how it yields.
This is a great medicine that you can take whenever you need whitout getting high and still get releef and stil be a functioning human being.
A new week has begun, and I thought that I could share some info about my environment. As you can see on the pictures the daytemp is 29.3C/84.74F and RH 37%, nighttemp is 20.3C/69.62F and RH 17%.
Lights lowered from 45 cm to 25 cm from the top of plant and i topped the plant today.
Air temperature is raised from 25 to 27 degrees Celsius.
Air humidity is 35% and i trying to get it up to around 45% tonight.
0,5 liters of water and nutrients, the plant gets 0.5 liters of water and nutrients 2 times a week.
Im a newbie and learn as i go :)
@Longhunter, damn, that's hot and dry as F###...I will promptly stop complaining of rare 100 degree days here!!! And we should be thanking you. You always seem to lend a helping hand and I know I appreciate it!!!
@Meezer, thabk you. From what I understand about cannabis, it isnt an arid plant like here in the desert, but also not a c4 tropical plant either. RH has never caused me stress, even at 120* F outside in the shade. My plants acted like it wasnt hot at all and to them the RH was perfect. No curling or taco shelling at all. I believe if you raise them in low RH, they will simply dilate their porea more and be fine. Summer here 110*F @ 8% RH ;)
@Longhunter, I was one who was worried at first because just about everything you read says to have a little higher RH during the veg. No longer worried for reasons you mentioned plus I am have a perpetual garden now and planting/harvesting will be going on every 3 weeks in the same tent.
Daaaamn, she's growing crazy from day to day, everytime I check up on her she's gotten bigger and yes, I'm loving it! :) Too bad it's illegal to grow here in Sweden, otherwise I'd be growing a lot more! ;)
I just love to look at her after defoliating her yesterday! She looked so sad after we cut off her leaves and fim'ed her, totally naked and so vulnerable, but today she really smiles up at me when i look at her, I just love her! ;) No matter what I do to her, she lets me- just because she trusts me :)
Since the girl has been growing nice and I want to maximize the yield, I defoliated her today and did some low stress training. The upcoming days will be very interesting, really looking forward to see how she developes! :) I also fim'ed her, so the future looks... well AWESOME!
After 2 days of rest, she seems to have regained some health, I still need to find a way to lower the temp inside the growing room, so it will probably end up with an investment in LED instead of HPS. Let's see what happens in the near future, but for now she seems ok, tomorrow I'll start using the HPS again, but not full 18 hours, decreasing to 15 hours with HPS but still 18 hours with T5... :)
Yesterday I decided to install my 400W HPS instead of T5 flourescent, the first thing I needed to do was to increase the speed of the fan, otherwise the temperature started to rise a bit too much. At the moment the high temp during the 18h light gets up to around 40C/104F, will see if I can get it down some, but as long as the girls seems to be ok with it, I guess I'll just let it be.
Because of the increased temp the soil dries much faster, so from now on I really need to water the plants every second day.
Today I also started germination of another CBD Therapy, two are better than one, right?? ;)
So, it's the last day of week 4, wanted to give the Therapy some care so I installed the fan today, gave her some water and nutrients, and why not some fiming..? ;) I'm really looking forward to see how she develops! She's looking really nice and healthy, and with good ventilation and circulation on the air, I don't think there will be any problems whatsoever with mold or anything else bad! :)
So far I haven't used anything else than the ventilation fan to circulate the air, but veg week 5 day 1 I'm installing a fan so the CDB Therapy will get a sweet cool therapeutic breeze. ;)
Week 4 day 3, the Cbd Therapy is looking great and had water and nutrients today.
The Fiming i did 4 days ago is showing results, see the closeup picture.
