This time I'm trying successfully to germinate in rockwool cubes after losing a few seeds trying to germinate directly in soil. I don't know if there's something with my soil to kill the seedlings but just to be safe I started the seeds in the cubes in a germination trail. The first seed popped out around 24hrs later and the second around 48hrs after sowing. The third one took around 4 days to pop out. On the 4th day I transferred all cubes to the final pot but took off around 1lt of my old amended soil and topped up the hole with some new seedling soil mix that I used in my first grow just in case something on the amendment could somehow damage the taproot. It seems to be working. She is growing good and strong. Getting only 10% of light right now as the first real leaves still haven't showed. Happy days!
About the strain: Forbidden Fruit x Forbidden Fruit
Forbidden Fruit is an indica-dominant strain bound to intoxicate the senses through a relaxing and euphoric high.
Man, she's tall! She's still stretching but her growing is following it healthily so I'm cool with it. She's a bit ahead comparing with her sisters so she might need attention early. She got some nuts this week so let's keep an eye on how she reacts before the next watering.
She's growing fast and healthy. No signs of overfeeding so I'm keeping on the feed program as recommended. Lights going from 50% to 75%. Let's keep up the good job.
Nothing new this week. She's still growing steadily and the nutes seem to be doing a good job so far. I'm using the Dual Fuel with a bit of Growth Solution to raise the EC to follow the Green Plant Nutes program and it feels like it's right so I'm keeping like that. The light is set to 100% as the plants are healthy and the weather is getting a bit too cold. As she grew too tall I'm starting some LST to bend her down to keep her at the same height of the other two plants. I upgraded my second inlet fan from a generic 150mm ball bearing fan to a 125mm Phresh Hyper Fan V2 w/ speed control. Now my tent is so much quiet with both Hyper Fans V2 working on blowing fresh air in and out. Maybe I get a Phresh Hyperfan V2 Climate Controller to manage them automatically next upgrade.
She answered very well to the bending clip. All them just got into a really strong veg growth with vigorous leaf expansion. I'm not defoliating her yet as she's going very fine so far and because she's not that tall yet it may shock her and as she is going into transition this week I don't wanna risk in such critical point. The nuts seem to be working very well so far. I don't think she's needing any calmag so far so I'm keeping the program. She's getting into the first layer of net to train for the final shape.
They all gone through some good final training. She looks like that is going into transition before blooming. The bending clips are doing a great job. Unfortunately I left a clip for too long and it seems it kinda shoke the plant for a while but she's recovering. The clips seem to do their job in a couple of days tops so if you're using them keep a close eye. The photos are in order from 02/05 to 08/05. I removed most of the big fan leaves below the mesh and some that were blocking light. She's recovering very well and it seems to be well adapted to the shape. I'm feeding some calmag to raise my EC as feeding program requires and let's see if the plants react ok to it. So far so good. It seems the plants have been under 12/12 for some weeks. My high ass probably changed last time I'd adjusted my setup and I didn't remembered. Well... It seems it was on the right timing. xD I believe they all gonna start blooming by next week so next watering will have some changes. Great week!
She's done with the transition week and is going into fully bloom. There are several buds growing with a lot of light getting directly on most of them so I'm expecting a good result. This strain is very healthy responding very well to all LST and HST I've done during the first 5 weeks. Great so far.
Nothing new this week. I removed some of the big fan leaves but that's it. They are not giving me any trouble on this grow. I haven't had any trouble with pests nor environment nor nutrients so I think I finally getting it all right.
She's blooming like crazy and I love it! Several buds and the whole plant just got this great shape even though she's kinda cramped. Just following the nut program so far.
She's just a beautiful strain! The purple color on the buds are just so satisfying to look at but the smell is really strong. The plant is quite fast on fattening and is going healthy all the way thru.
Big and fat buds everywhere! She looks real good and is close to the harvest point. Depending how she's looking next week I'll be flushing her to prepare to harvest.
So it's time. Got her out of the tent to flush real good and to keep her into dark for the last week. The flowers look dense and the whole plant is sticky. The buds look like they are gonna look beautiful. I'm gonna keep a close eye to harvest her on the best day which could be any day from now as she's a quick one. Happy days are coming!
This was a great grow. The plant just looked beautiful and it was very satisfactory to grow this strain. I got 96g of dry bud from this plant so I'm pretty satisfacted with the result. The buds are medium and round but not compact. They look great too and it will kinda fell bad to use them once cured.
