ChachoGreenCrown Let's go with an indoor grow in the middle of summer (in Spain) under LED lights. This time it's the Rainbows strain from the seed bank Bsf seeds, and we're going to put a single seed in a 15L fabric pot with a mix of coco, arlite, perlite, and humus. Nutrients to be used are the organic range from Grotek. We're going all in!!! Because who are we? We are bigger, stronger, faster... we’re out.
The diary was shared in real-time on Instagram! I'm going to share it here so everyone can see it!!! A hug 💚

ChachoGreenCrown Here we have rainbows already quite active. At the beginning of week 2, as you can see, it’s starting to throw its second node of true leaves, and by the end of its 2nd week of vegetative, there’s a noticeable improvement in the plant's development. As you can see, I’ve already put it in its 15L fabric pot. And now we’re going to proceed with an apical pruning along with some good branch training.
I’ve been considering introducing some kind of companion planting that improves soil structure, especially during the first weeks of the plant's life, since I’m going fully organic. There could be issues with assimilation and accumulation... we’re also going to apply mycorrhizae to improve absorption and help develop a good digestive and defensive system for the plant.
For now, I’m keeping the plant alongside other specimens... there are a few other rainbows around too. This one, in particular, we’ll move to a 60x60 tent in a couple of weeks.
So far, the climate parameters are holding steady at around 23-25°C when the lights are on and 19-20°C when they’re off. With average humidity levels of about 55-60%. We might need to increase that humidity a bit. Hehe
I hope you’re enjoying the vegetative stage of this little one, greetings to everyone!!

ChachoGreenCrown Topped at the beginning of week 3... we're going to take some branches off that rainbows.
The development this week was good. The first white mustard plants I planted as companion crops are starting to grow. We'll give it a few days and you'll see how much these little ones change..
The feeding was light. I only fertilized 2 days a week with 0.5 ml/l of root force and some synergy.
Climate parameters similar to the previous week..
The project is taking shape! Because who are we??? We are BIGGERS STRONGERS FASTERS.... We're out.....

ChachoGreenCrown Now at this size, it's going into its 60x60 cabinet under a 140w LED light, and the show begins!
We're starting with the training; we're going to spread those branches out to the sides and then top it, that way we'll ensure a ton of heads on this rainbows.
The feeding is still very simple, root force and synergy... since the worm humus is also contributing its part.
Maximum temperature is 25°C and minimum is 19°C. Humidity is around 55%.
It has a lot of strength in the branches, lifting the anchors I have set up to spread the branches... it's amazing.
We have here a little stronger 💪🏼

ChachoGreenCrown In the end, I held out one more week with Rainbows in the community closet... but now it's definitely time for her to have her own space.
This is how she looks since the last post. We've added some more nutrients to the diet, and as you can see, this little one is being very grateful.
The temperature was a bit higher these days, reaching a maximum of 27°C, but overall it's staying around 25°C. The humidity dropped a bit and is averaging about 45% saturation.
It already smells....

ChachoGreenCrown This is getting interesting!
This week we've added a bit of calcium to the diet to avoid deficiencies, although the watering water I use already has some calcium, so I don't need to add much. We'll be careful.
On the other hand, we've provided other sources of nitrogen and essential amino acids to make sure this little one feels well-nourished.
As for everything else... we keep posing, taking branches, and guiding...
I should mention that I have the light set to half power... we won't go full blast until later.
Favorable temperature and humidity... an average of 24°C in temperatures and a relative humidity of 50%...
I'm giving this little one some good Rap sessions, and it seems like she likes it, Mariano! Because we're bigger, stronger, and faster... we out!

ChachoGreenCrown We're continuing with the training on this beautiful Rainbows. After a few good weeks in the vegetative stage, we're heading into flowering loaded with branches 👌🏻
We've increased the feeding and soon we'll add pk to develop a good bloom.
The climate parameters are perfect for her...
We're keeping the music going, we're off....

ChachoGreenCrown Wow, what a plant is forming here! We're continuing with the Grotek feeding! And it's responding very well. The mycorrhizae play a fundamental role in this grow.
We're already moving into flowering, next week we'll see some buds around here! Haha
Climate parameters are a bit high on the temperature but in specific cases... most of the time it's around 24-25 °C. We're lowering that humidity to do well with the flowering and avoid any problems.
Cheers!

ChachoGreenCrown We're already in advanced flowering, diving right into flower production. It looks pretty lush, so we're going to proceed with a leaf trim and keep feeding with Grotek nutrients. We're strong 💪🏼

ChachoGreenCrown We're still removing some leaves since this rainbows looks really bushy! Crazy, haha, we're going to open up some of those branches.
On the other hand, we increased the power of the panel.
We already have a lot of resin around here! We have a strain loaded with trichomes, haha.
Come on, we're in the best part. Haha, see you soon!

ChachoGreenCrown With a month and a bit of flowering, we can already see that this rainbows is coming along quite nicely. It keeps responding great to the feeding.
Favorable climate parameters, although sometimes the humidity spikes up, but hey, far from being a problem, we keep the music going hehehe
We're heading into the final stretch. Let’s go!

ChachoGreenCrown A few weeks went by without being able to take photos, but here we are again to show how beautiful rainbows is looking! It's spectacular, and thanks to the selected nutrients for its cultivation, we've had a very good response from this champion.
I estimate that in about 20 days it will go outside, so from now on we'll be going full on with PK this week, and in the following weeks, we'll only use water, and occasionally some enzymatic complex to clean those roots and excess salts from the substrate.
Let's do this!
ChachoGreenCrown 140g dry. This rainbows is delicious! The app doesn't let me add effects... let's just say it's perfect for daily smoking after a long day at work. Relaxation, appetite, and a nice high.
