Germination went smooth. I've put the seed in soil after soaking it in water for a day. The whole process took 4 days, till it popped out of the ground.
Soil - Biobizz light mix
Looking good so far. You can actually see little purple (not sur it's purple, but it's quite dark) spots on the forming leaves' edges, although they fade out as the leaves grow, I'm not sure it's related to the strain, but I didn't ever see it ibefore.
Only watered 2 times since planting the seed, but it's pretty humid in the room so the soil dries very slowly.
Using calmag every watering, because of soft water, and had some deficiency problems in the past grows. Also got my hands on acti-vera, I'll keep supplementing that every watering through entire growth and also as a foliar, while she's in veg.
Moved the plant to a bigger pot. Initially I wanted to keep her in 5L to keep her smaller, but got worried it might end up too stunted, so now I'm worried it might outgrow the room.
Two lowest leaves look kinda crooked, not sure why.
Still not watering much this week, only gave 0.3L once and 0,5L after transplanting.
She grew a lot this week, and started pre-flowering.
New leaf tips are neon-green - light burn?
Started with some light dosed nutes.
Overall the plant looks fine, I'm very happy with LST results, the goal is to keep her as short as possible.
She's growing nicely and started flowering.
Leaves still come out with yellow tips - after bit of research, pretty sure it's light burn. Moved the lights further up, but starting to get out of height space.
Temp. also been pretty high, prolly magnifying the issue. Not much I can do about it tho.
I didn't add much nutes this week, considering yellow tips being possible indication of nutrient burn.
Watering every 3rd day with about 1.2 L.
Do I look for specific signs? Or just go with the breeder's info sheet (7-8 weeks flowering), I'm thinking to keep feeding for 1 week more, from what I can tell, trichomes are still mostly clear, and about half of pistils brown.
Don't worry about what week, what is written on the packets usually resembles fairy tales and not real life.
Start a 7-10 day flush once your plant has about 95% brown pistils and harvest when there are around 98% brown pitils. This will put you in the "10-30% amber" zone without having to look too hard and give you buds with peak THC levels.
Hope this helps, Organoman.
I've been planning to chop my girl in 2 days (sunday), been flushing since 1.04 and watered yesterday (thursday) for last time. Would it be beneficial if I moved the harvest 2 days later, (for total 5 days without water + 48 hrs in dark) would that make considerable difference?
Don't do the darkness thing, it is BS.
A plant in extended darkness will have an almost stopped metabolism, meaning there will not be enough metabolic activity to prevent THC breaking down.
The whole myth is rubbish, it is not repeatable, does not work on every strain and was ONE flawed experiment that due to the magic of the internet turned into ghetto science and a supposed "fact", which it clearly isn't.
2 days without water is plenty, and this is another myth, it is botanically impossible to super boost THC levels by witholding water.
THC levels are controlled by genetics and genetics only.
There is no way to get a plant to produce more THC than its genetic map will allow.
Through experiments that I have done over the last 35+ years, I believe the best time to harvest is an hour or two after sun up/lights on and with everything else being absolutely normal, no stress, no darkness, no extended thirstiness, nothing.
This seems to produce the tastiest buds and with the highest amount of terpenes too.
You want the plant to be as happy and as normal as possible, then whamo - chop it down before it knows what is going on.
Why anybody would purposefully stress their plants with strange "techniques" after months of careful growing and right before harvest, is beyond my comprehension!
Hope this helps, Organoman.
