The story for this strain is a bit unusual.
I started the year with Nurse Lilly CBD strain, but I thought this plant is not going to make it. This was due to the plant's slow growth, poor condition, and my novice knowledge about the cannabis plant generally 😬
Stress Killer CBD strain was actually my alternative just in case. But to have an alternative plant just in case you have to get seeds and plant it, isn't it?
I researched a lot about Stress Killer CBD cannabis type.
Genetics of Sativa 60%, Indica 30%, Ruderalis 10% which is faster, easier to grow, resilient to bad conditions, and generally stronger strain.
I thought - this has to be a success story with happy end ☺️
The germination process was quite quick.
1 stage - 42 h seeds were soaked in a glass of water (water room temp) till seeds opened (tiny bubble of air attached to seed) and you can see little plant 🌱 horn hatch.
2 stage - the seed has been transferred to a wet cotton pad, covered with another sheet of soaked paper with an extra plate on the top to keep moisture and darkness for another 24 h.
3 stage - the sprouting seed has been moved into a little 125 g plastic pot mixed soil. I did place the seed deep, about 3-5cm, covered it slightly with soil. Watered after plenty enough to help seed sprout easier.
W2 - the plant 🌱seemed to grow pretty well, stalk looks strong, foilage looks healthy !!!
Good tip - started to use water 🚿 spray, which improves the plant's 🌱healthy green foliage !!!
At the end of growing 2 week she has 3 nodes of leaves developed 🤗
I like watching her growing, pure pleasure
W3 - the plant 🌱has been transplanted to a bigger 2,5 l pot which at the bottom I put a 5 cm layer deep of white pebbles to improve ventilation and help excess water come down.
Also done some topping to her (called her GRETA 🌱).
I am not the biggest fan of hurting plants in any way, whatever benefit that might give you.
I read this strain might be up to 1-1,5 m high, so I have done topping for the reason plant is less visible for strangers staring at my window from the outside.
I cut off everything above 3 nodes.
After 2 days I noticed two separate tops appearing.
I hope 🙏 the first topping to cannabis is a success 👏 story.
W4 - the plant 🌱recovered pretty well after topping in week 3.
I use some garden wire to introduce some LST.
I have a feeling flowering time is just around the corner 🤩
W5 - the plant 🌱hit the flowering stage 👏🍾
After topping in week 3 I left the plant with 3 tiers of branches.
A pair at the top developed 2 top buds each growing separately up !!!
That means with just one topping I could achieve 4 colas shape plant 🍀
The second lower pair of braches have the same situation 🍀
The lowes tier has one bud for each branch.
That could give me 10 separate bud colas if I am lucky!!!
This makes me a very happy grower 🙌 😇
W6 - GRETA 🌱is doing well.
I defoliate some leaves from top brunches (compare with week 5) just to make the top canopy slightly less dense.
That will allow more sunlight receive by lower brunches a specially when they in the flowering period.
Slowly buds get covered with trichomes 🎍
Happy times 🙂
W7 - GRETA 🌱is growing well.
I again defoliate some leaves from top brunches (compare with week 6) just to make the top canopy slightly less dense.
That will allow more sunlight receive by lower brunches a specially when they in the flowering period.
Still using garden wire to hold down two top branches.
She looks like bonsai cannabis 🎉 😘
I am happily watching her grow 🙂
W10 - GRETA 🌱trichomes 🎍well 😊
Everything is looking good.
The only question I have is: when to harvest 🤷♂️
What to judge on cannabis before deciding when is a good time for harvesting?
I seriously flushed her a couple of days ago to dissolve any trace of fertilizer left in her and in the soil.
To make her ready !!!
Dear Growers...
I have a question in regards to when to harvest Stress Killer CBD?
What are key factors by which I should take the judgement of when is the right time for harvest?
Any tips community ???
You want to harvest based on trichome colour.
ideally 10-30% amber for a nice even mix of head and body high.

Best Of Luck!
W12 - last night photo 📸 session with GRETA 🌱before I took 😕 her life......
She was a little cannabis bonsai tree...
She tastes incredible..... ☺️
Thank you GRETA and bless you 😇
I would highly recommend to buy and grow Stress Killer Automatic CBD from Royal Queen Seeds mainly due to it's simplicity and very quick harvest time.
This strain 🌱 does what it says on the tin, it is simple✅, strong✅, grow well✅ and is enjoyable to watch✅.
I would highly recommend this strain to beginners growers 👨🌾.
I would like to share my respects 🙏 and appreciation 👏 to all generation of growers that created such a lovely variety of cannabis.
@GrowOnTheLeft,
It is on my wish list 😃, I want to grow Stress Killer CBD and Fast Eddy CBD, for this summer.
I will get Fast Eddy for a few days, and start in two weeks, I hope so.
After that, starting with Stress Killer 😃. So I'm realy glad to follow your Stress Killer diary 😃👍
@JamMAKEcan cheers mate 😁
Harvest is always the best part of growing.
It is like icing on the cake with cherry 🍒 on the top.
StressKiller is a very good strain to grow 🍀
@CelticSmokey88 yes, you right 👍
Full strain name: Stress Killer Automatic CBD from Royal Queen Seeds.
Topped in week 3, then spread wide with garden wire.
Enjoyable strain, recommend to every grower !!
@@TenderBuds yep she is very close 😄
Actually, I don't know ( I haven't done it in years) what to judge on cannabis before deciding when is a good time for harvesting.
I seriously flush her a couple of days ago to dissolve any trace left of fertilizer in her and in soil.
@@TenderBuds oh yeah !!!
I will post some pictures of Greta before and after harvesting.
It feels like I wasn't consistent enough with dairy recently 😉
