Started Germination in a glass of water (pH6,78, used 2 drops). After 24 hours transferd the seeds to a paper towel and moistend it with the water from the cup. After 24 hours you could see minor cracks and some had tiny tap roots. Let them be for another 24 hours after which they developed the tap roots you see in the last 3 video's/photo. Very happy that all the seeds came up. Choose this strain for the high yields and high thc levels.

Panted the seeds straight in their main pots and put a plastic bag over them to increase the humidity. Removed the plastic bags after the plants were 2 days out of the soil. Temp is around 20c and humidity around 50%. No added nutrients yet. Only using some ph minus to bring the pH levels down to arounbd 6,5. After each watering I am slowly increasing the light intensity. Started on 25% then to 50% of the capacity of the lamp. Noticed in the second week that I had set my timer wrong and the plants were on a 14-8 cycle instead of a intended 18-6.

Humidty Around 52% and temp around 20c lights on 75% capacity in the middle of week 2. Will be updating in a few days. So temperature shot way up, it got a lot colder outside so my heating started to work overtime and because the thermometer is in my livingroom, it got prettty hot in the growing room. It peaked at 30 and after i adjusted a few things it has now stabilized at 27 degrees celcius. Humidity went way down (-40%) so i turned on the humidifier and it's now back to aaround 55% Despite that te plants are looking good and the lights are now at 100%.Most plants are looking good, only the one in the front left of the tent is looking weird. It isn't growing it's main shoot, instead it looks like it is developing more of the side shoots. Will keep an eye on it the next few of days. I also sealed the room from light and adjusted the exhaust pipe for better air circulation.

Topped the plants this week. I didn't top the first plant because well it topped itself already. It even seems like it's doing it again. When you look at the top foto the left shoot seems to be splitting again. Very curious to how it will develop, but i'm a little worried because the main stem looks a little bit thin. The fifth plant has some yellow discoloration which i dont's see on the other plants.

It looks to be a bit of light burn to me. has any of the leaves been wet when the lights on? the rest of the plant and it upper growth is looking healthy. I would not worry to much about it as its not spreading. When will you be starting your feeding of nutrients? and what kind are you using? crystal/liquid slats or dry amendments?

Self topping? So one of my plants didnt grow its main shoot and developed 2 main shoots right from the beginning wich hindered it's development a bit. Is someone familiar with this?

It very well could have been a self topped plant. or a mutation that looks the same way. Its very healthy and I would not thinking anything of it. treat it like a mainlined plant and keep it pretty looking. This will be a fun little plant to grow out. It may just have the biggest yield of them all because of this. It may also feed heavier because of it as well. assuming you are topping it the same like the rest of your plants. Good Luck and Happy Growing!

Plants are looking good😀. Thanks to everyone who answered my questions the previous week. Happy to hear that my weird plant may turn out to be the best one. The yellow discoloration went away completly after a few days on the other plant and is now the biggest in lengt. Toppinh was also succesful and i see a lot of tops developing. Started feeding my plants this week. First I added 30ml to 11L and then 50ml, i might add a litlle bit more but will firts do some more research. The 4th plant has now developed some discoloration on it's leaves.

Obvious overdose of nitrogen and lock outs starting. Give her two-three full Dry/week/dry/wet/dry/wet cycles. On second you can try to add 0.5 ml/l calmag. If you feed anything now - it will stay in soil and make your problems bigger. Slow down ! Palargon is very strong, make sure you check your pH before watering !!! Some nutes need time to set up, so when you mix your feed watering give it 15 min to settle and mix before checking final pH. All the Best !

No nutes this week because of the overdose of nitrogen. Just straight water 3x. Waiting for some calmag to come in next week and plagron power root to help the roots. Otherwise im still optimistic. The plant that self topped is really coming through😇

Ok so what to say bitt of a weird week. Waited a bit to long with watering because i was waiting for the calmag and plagron power root to come in. Plants didnt like it to much and started to yellow up. When they came in I gave them water with the new nutrients. Plants immediately started to look better. At the next feeding they looked well enough to add some extra nutrients again. So i added 30ml to 11l of water along with the nutes i put in the diary. Hopefully this time they will react better and grow well. Fingers crossed but I have faith they will handle it well.🙏

Hi cezario, I've checked your diary and it seems like only one of the plants are experiencing this. Maybe to figure out what is the problem exactly we should focus on why that plant? What could differ (apart from being a different seed cuz we can't germinate 2 plants from 1 seed) from that one to the others? What plant you water first? Guessing you have do multiple watering cans right? Are you pouring the same amount to each plant? Are they drying in the same time? Do you ever water without nutes? By your nutrient list on your diary I see you're doing 6ml/l Terra Bloom. I would agree with Roberts but 6ml/l of Terra Bloom would cover that deficiency. You're Calmag doesn't have Nitrogen?

Correct, nitrogen deficiency from switching to bloom nutrients too early. Cannabis still needs adequate nitrogen in early flower. I continue with grow nutrients for the first two weeks of flowering, then change to half grow and half bloom for the next 2-3 weeks (depending on flowering speed), before changing again to straight bloom nutrients through until maturity. This seems to produce the biggest blooms on plants that don't exhaust themselves and end up a sickly yellow colour by harvest time. Have been doing this for close to 30 years now and it certainly works for me!

may be nitrogen may be potassium deficiency, this chart may help identtifying the issue: https://loudclouds.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/marijuana-deficiency-chart-jorge-cervantes.jpg on a side note it happen pretty often when you grow large amount of plant form the same strain a few phenotypse show some deficiencies/burns while all the others don't and while they all get the same feeding. Some phenotype are just more capricoious and sensitive to feeding than the others. you can adjust individually but i usually don't bother about it as usually it's stay in an acceptable range until harvest. Happy growing
