Germination method:
15hrs in water & RQS Soil Plugs
This time I decided to use the best grow solutions. Additional fertilizers and equipment were purchased. I will show them during grow process.
All three babies growing well.
They were transplanted to the RQS 5l transplanting pots, in the soil/perilite/coco mix. Also, 'RQS Bat guano' and 'Micor-rhiza' was added.
Now I'll wait to first true leaves grow to give immunostimulator and some root cocktail. Till then, it will be clean water only.
- 'HulkBerry' was born first and now it is biggest. The seed was large as well, that's why I was forced to give it some help with it's shell dropping. It's seedling didn't want to go of it's hole in a plug. I had to break it (soil plug) a little and take of the shell manually. Now 'Hulkberry' is the biggest plant of three;
- 'Royal Gorilla', a strain I grew last time, was second who came out;
- 'Critical', one of promo seeds, received from RQS breeder, - was tha last one.
We have a fast grow!
This week was just a bit of clean water.
3'rd pare of leafs and first branches was developed and I sprayed them with 'TA Protect' immune stimulator.
One more week of a clean watering with a few drops of 'TA Roots' and then I'll start adding the rest of 'Terra Aquatica' fertilisers I have.
We made main-lining today!
At first I wanted to left 4 brunches on every girl. But I accidentely broke one on the top of 'Critical' plant.
I was forced to mainline all three of them, to let them grow straight.
'HulkBerry' - it's the largest one.
'Critical' - turns second. But it growing it's new leafs slowly.
'Royal Gorilla' - now is last.
I'll wait them to hill and then transplant to RQS 19L bags.
I acsidently broke one of a 'Critical's thick brunches, to 1/3, mb.
Got a horizontal crack 4mm long.
That's why one of a yong one now grows slower then others.
I hope it's not for long.
I noticed, that 'Critical' has a dark green leafs and slightly different structure. Looks like N overdose, but it has dark wains ether, so I don't worry about it. (Asked a question, got an answer)
Waiting for roots to fill 5l bags.
A few weeks ago I cutted a half of my plants crone, there were 4 brunches - 2 left (on each). Now they must to grow largest crone first, i think.
Аt the very beginning of the week, I transplanted all three plants into RQS 19L pots. Made last planned topping of 'Critical' and defoliated some old leaves (1st-3rd floor).
My girlies immediately began to noticeably grow.
Yesterday, I gave them full dose of TA fertilisers for the first time.
During this week my 'Royal Gorilla' showed its gender and genetic mutations on a few leaves. It's not a tragedy, but I wonder, why it is so.
I think about laying some expanded clay on a top of the bags to prewent moisture loss. And a SCROG to make LST easier.
My girlies are fine.
...
LST, LST and LST once more!
...
One more week of veg and then I'll make its last defoliation, start 'bombarding' them with a 12hrs of lites and feading them in a "flowering" way.
...
They smell allready. But I received new carbon filter, waiting for second one. Got it from Ali (it's not a reclam).
Waiting before air fiter instalation as long as I can. Don't want to live in permanent noise. My box stands right infront of my bed.
'Royal Gorilla' smells worst.
It was a last week of VEG.
Already turned the lights into the 12/12 shedule.
Made new air filtering system with two filter in s raw. One of them is working for inhale, other exhales air.
There is no smell in my room.
Yay!
This week I broke my 'Critical' in a half.
Asked for help from other grower and received it. Results are on photo.
Thank You, Benzels, a friend of mine.
I feeded my girlies in a 'preflowering' mode. 'Critical' and 'HulkBerry' allready showed its gender and started forming flowerspots. But my little one, 'Royal Gorilla' - not.
SCROG was installed. Cos 'Critical' grew so high I was forsed to do some extra LST and broke it a half. Taped it with teflon tape and some plastic strips. It doesn't see a difference!
'Critical' was fixed and gently bended abowe SCROG. All leafes and brunches were cut under it (defoliation).
Second week passed smoothly.
My girls showed the first preflowering signs in next order: 'Critical', 'Hulkberry', 'Royal Gorilla'. All like as breeder says, they have a two weeks flowering difference.
Not a problem!
Sprayed them with a 'TA Bloom + TA Protect' solution a few times this week.
Myne 'Critical'(promo seed) is huge!
Allready healed itself - I striped the tape down.
And now is the end of a third 12/12 light cycle week.
My plants are going trough a pre-flowering stage in a next order: 'Critical', 'HulkBerry', 'Royal gorilla'.
My personally thought: I started flowering too early for 'RG'. She has a strongest, thickest trunk of all three, but small leaves. Also, she have too small pestles for a third week ending and not many of them also.
But from all three of my plants - terms of flowering are different. And 'RG' is a slowest one (4 weeks difference between 'Cr' and 'RG'). Mb she will take some weight, but laiter.
I made defoliation in the middle of this week. Cut away 123 leaves, made light passes. One day of a stress, and they are fine, continuing growing. Looks wonderful, especially 'Critical'. As an experiment, I left it with eight brunches only. And now it's huge! I already see a big budz there: big pestles and a lot of them!
Feeding: preflowering;
Mood: great.
Hello, my grower friend!
My plants stands on a 12/12 light cycle above four weeks already.
Two of them has a good groups of stigmas, one - hasn't yet.
You can see it in my diary photos.
I fed them with a pre-flowering set all this time.
Should I start 'flowering' feed already?
You can change the food. Since you also have normal soil in the pot, this can also temporarily store the fertilizer. The difference between the individual types of fertilizer is only the composition of NPK, Grow has more N, Bloom puts more emphasis on P and K. In the transitional period, the fertilizers mix anyway and the plant then takes what it needs.
I made one more defoliation on the every begining of this week. Minus 47 leafs more. They lost 160 of them in a sum.
I noticed the gray mold on a bag near the trays. It was on a bottom-left side of a box. Air canals were shut there.
I deleted it with a alcohol soaked napkin and opened two box side-wholes. Now air blows more properly.
I hope, this mold wouldn't grow anymore.
Plants looks nice, flowering in progress.
Made one more defoliation to help the light to reach lower budz.
'Critical' is huge and healthy plant. It's my favourite now.
'HulkBerry' is large enough too.
But my 'RoyalGorilla' has too small and weak flowers. I could assume a light deficit, if only 'HB' was not growing in the exect same conditions.
I don't know, why it growth like this.
I already noticed a lot of milk-coloured trichomas on 'Critical' colas. Start to feed it with 'TA Ripen'.
Gray mold is my enemy. It grew again, this time on the bottom of all three pots. I was forced to remove trays to make air circulate freely. Also mounted a PC went to blow on them.
A bit worried about my flowers.
My girls are alright.
Flowering, as they should.
'Critical' already eats 'Ripen', but there are no red trichomes yet. I'll give it 'Ripen' one more week and then we'll see.
Flowering goes to its highest point. Suddenly, 'HulkBerry's leafes turns yellow. I think it's an azote deficite. I always give them feeding of 6.5PH. Mb, for 'Critical' it was OK, but another two flowers needs less.
Still no yellow trichomes.
Acording to it's 'technical spec." - 'Critical' should be redy, it's floweryng period is about 8 weeks. But there is no brown thrichomes yet. I already feed it with 'Clean' fluid. Next week it will eat 'Clean', then will go to empty water diet.
Another two flowers drink good old 'Ripen' and looks nice, if You remember them stands under the 50w red light each. Maybe they get some white light from the middle 200w LED lamp, but it's not shure.
I'm whaiting for the harvest time, and it's hard.
- 'Critical' went to the dark place (separated section in my box). Still, It has small amount of yellow thrichomes, but there are some and I tired to wait. It has 10 weeks of flowering where it should be 8. Few days more and I'll kut it down.
- 'Royal Gorilla' taked some more weight. Not too much, but still it's a plasure. Two more weeks ahead.
-'HulkBerry' is good. A few of it's brunches was broken under It's own weight. I eat it like I'm a caterpillar. It allready has some berry notes, I hope it could surwive till the wery end. I hope... ;-)
It's a strong high, nice flavour and THC level. It's second time I grew this strain. It showing strong resistance and still is my favourite (after 'Critical').
Double check or even triple check that mold. Inspect the stem on any black or Grey stuff. It spreads so easily u should be on the look out untill harvest now. Be paranoid about it 😂 I had the same 2 years ago and im still mad about it haha
