Grow diary 11.
This grow I'm running 4 diaries, one for each strain in the tent. So my plan is instead of a week being 7 days, my weeks are most likely going to be every 10 days. I think I'm going to take pictures every 5 days so there is a mid week and end week shot.
I'm germinating in my propagation tent which is secret jardin dp60. I soaked the seeds in water for 15 hours. The seeds sank so i took that as a good sign. After the seed had soaked for 15 hours I then soaked the rockwool cube for 30 mins in PH 5.8 water with 0.5ml/L hydroguard. Gave the cube a shake and let it drain for 30 mins before placing the seed pointy side down so the top of the seed is level with the cube. Covered seed with a loose bit of rockwool. Placed into propagator with the sunblaster t5 lights on constant. After 71 hours the seed popped

Grow diary 11 Stage 1
Days 1-10
By day 4 all was looking good, she had a few roots coming out the bottom of the cube.
Day 6 I transplanted her to the 3 inch rockwool cubes that had been soaked for 15 mins in this stage nutrient solution and left to drain for 15 mins, then she went into the bigger propagator.
Day 10 she had 1 root coming out the bottom of the 3 inch cube.
Over the last few days she has been getting more exposure to the fan, with the lid of the propagator the humidity is on the low side, but i want to get some air movement around her.
She has grown o.k over the last 10 days. She looks healthy enough and is where I would expect her to be in growth. She is the best looking seedling out of the grow at 10 days.

Grow diary 11 Stage 2
Days 11-20
The light schedule was altered to 19/5 on day 11 and the 6 inch distance was maintained until she went into the main tent. Lights on 7pm off 2pm
Day 12 was the 1st time she was watered/fed since day 6 when it was soaked for transplant. After day 12 she was fed 300ml every day and the run off checked to make sure everything was in range.
Day 17 she was topped after the 2nd set of nodes. I'm thinking of removing the lowest set of nodes in a few days and doing a small mainlining project,
Day 18 she was moved into my new main tent (gorilla shorty gt225). The light is my mars hydro TS1000 set at 50% power 20 inch above the canopy. The wilma system is just hydroton/clay balls, and the feeds are on at 8pm for 15mins and on at 12.30pm for 15mins.
Day 20 she seems to be adjusting to the topping and the transplant.
I'm happy with how the last 9/10 days have gone, its still been mega hot and i have managed to battle the heat quite well so the plants haven't suffered.
At the moment all 4 strains are at about the same point in growth.

Grow diary 11 Stage 3
Days 21-30
Day 22 removed lowest nodes. I'm also thinking i may be overwatering.
Day 24 eventually found my humidifier.
Day 26 topped both colas.
Day 30 training.
The last 9 days have been fairly bad, around day 22 I thought the grow looked a little overwatered. This time I am using a home made ring to flood the pots, i didn't take into account that this ring lets out about 10 times the amount of water then the blue drippers. I cut the watering down and the she started to recover. She isn't the worst looking one out the 4 strains maybe the 3rd worse looking one. She is recovering better then the others.

Grow diary 11 Stage 4
Days 31-40
Day 31 Turned power up to 85% on the mars hydro ts1000. Mines one of the old ones you need to stick a screw driver in to alter it.
Day 36 Removed the single finger fan leaves and the 1st 3 fingered leaves.
Day 39 Removed the 4 fan leaves from where she was topped last week.
The start of this stage we hit a heat wave, day after day of heat. I had my humidifier on most of the 9 days. The tent didn't hit the temps I thought it would so that means I have my loft under a bit better control. The plant really kicked into gear this week, around day 34 she started to explode in growth. So far I have only done some lite defoliation by removing some of the 1st leaves that weren't getting any light anymore. I think the kosher cake is the 2nd nicest looking one in the grow.

Grow diary 11 stage 5
Days 41-50
During the week she had some training and I removed the damaged leaves. The whole grow has suffered from me not getting the watering schedule sorted.
She has been in flower for about a week now, this one has stretched more then some of the other strains. Think this one will bounce back.
Grow diary 11 stage 6
Day 51-60
This last 9 days she has continued to pop out the pistils. She is a little taller then I expected after the earlier topping. I got high hopes for this one. Development wise this one is also where I would expect her to be.
Grow diary 11 stage 7
Day 61-70
This is the size of plant I was expecting from all 4 strains and the way I had trained them. She has come on quite a bit over last 9 days, she is the 3rd furthest along.
Grow diary 11 stage 8
Day 71 to 80
She doing her thing. Have managed to get a bit more light to her. Probably 2 weeks before she is moved out to finish on her own. Wish all the others in this grow had grown like this one.
Grow diary 11 stage 9
Day 81 to 90
Kosher cake has been in the main tent with the O.G until day 90. She is now in the other tent with the Bruce banner and is going on ripen for next 7 to 10 days. This plant is real nice, bit taller then I thought she would get.
Grow diary 11 stage 10
Day 91 to 100
The kosher cake has been in the other tent all week on ripen and then started flushing. She looks real good. So hopefully she should be harvested before day 105.
Not a bad plant to harvest, trim jail was about 2 hours long. She is now in the herb dryer hopefully getting a slow dry. Then cure for a couple weeks and will update the smoke report and add some more pictures.
Thanks for following.
