The plant has really started to take off! I see growth from day to day, so I started some LST. Hope I can keep up with the pH/nutrients, especially when it starts stretching and going into flower. I have the whole CANNA Coco line at hand and will appreciate any tip&tricks if anyone has experience with that particular line🙏🏽
I have not yet watered until runoff due to the fear of overwatering. Since the plant has been so small compared to the 20L/5gal smartpot, I have only watered approx 2L/0.5 gal) every 4 days or so. But perhaps they're big enough to be saturated by week 5?
Note: I started 'Day 1' when the seedlings broke the soil (aka had their first light cycle).
At leaft they have enough Nitrogen for the stretch! So I'm currently going with water "only" to let them use what is already present and prevent toxicity.
I have soft water, therefore I always add water hardener (Cal/Mag) to get the EC up to 0.4ms/cm as this is the recommended treatment of soft water by CANNA (the nutrient company I am currently using).
It has been claimed that soft (especially RO) water will want those minerals and will suck it up as soon as it hits the medium. Coco takes enough as it is, so I follow just in case
Note: I am not saying there's a universal applicability to exactly 0.4 EC Cal/Mag, but 'CANNA Coco' was developed with 0.4ms/cm standard/average water hardness.
Cheers
I dont know when I'm gonna say 'flowering' starts, it might have started already in many people's eyes. But just follow the pictures and you will get the picture lol
'Amnesia' is starting to fade already and I am pretty sure it's a pH issue. But I really don't care because the stress is only making her frost up like there's no tomorrow!
'Gold' seems to be taking life easy
These are two plants from the same pack of seeds. I called one of them "Amnesia" and the other one "Gold"
They are two completely different phenotypes. 'Gold' is way larger and will definitely have a longer life span. 'Amnesia' is the shorter/stouter phenotype and will be chopped down in a week or two.
I am under the impression that this strain from Pyramid Seeds has huge genetic variation amongst them.
I have had some pH issues with 'Amnesia' due to the pH drop that follows increased Phosphorus uptake during flower. Or perhaps I overdid the CANNA PK 13/14. No biggie though. They smell like fresh sweaty gym socks with a hint of citrus gas. But this far, 'Amnesia' is quickly becoming sticky gewy frosty yum
So this grow is still growing great if I may say it myself.
Hope the same for all of y'all!
The phenotype named "Amnesia" was harvested at day 66. She was the smaller of the two, though she was frosty like no other.
The phenotype named "Gold" is much larger in both plant and bud structure. She will go on for at least another week in hope of her frosting up some more.
The buds are equally dense, but nonetheless there is quite the variation within this 5-pack of seeds. They seem more like cousins than sisters. But I am just a newbie, and this is my first grow, so take it with a grain of salt.
Also: This week I started adding a few hours of UVB every day (just a 25w bulb for reptiles)
Getting ready to shop her down.
My apologies, but taking good photos is not an easy task without pro lighting equipment.. The trichomes and the flashlight are not exactly best buds, lol
Hope you're enjoying it thus far though. Cheers
I did not know what to expect, but this strain definitely made my first grow an enjoyable one! Popped two seeds from the same pack, and they behaved rather differently. but nothing went horribly wrong, so unless I just got lucky, I'm guessing this strain is good for beginners!
Nonetheless, I now have some sweet homemade smoke to enjoy and I am proud of it.
Thanks for that
Being my first time, it's hard to say much about this strain as I have nothing to compare it to. But I can say with 100% certainty that this strain was worth the grow for me as a beginner. Better than what I ever bought on the streets back in the day. The two plants turned out very different, but my gut says that was my own doing. The first plant yielded 70g dry uncured weight. Second plant yielded over 100g dry weight. They are both now curing, but I've stolen some bud from the first harvest jar ('Amnesia' the stout and frosty pheno) - and the high hits the head, the body, the mind and soul!
@CrazyHorse, thank you! My first grow ever, so my fingers are crossed. Also I joined growdiaries today, so truly thank you for the warm welcome! Best wishes for you and your garden
Hey how's the grow going? A few weeks since this "6th week" :) Mine are growing totally different, and the leaves.. we have totally different phenotypes, I hope not genetics.. I'll update tomorrow for my 4th/5th week!
Hey, @DESER90
Thanks for checking in! Its been busy lately so I haven't been able to post. But I'm getting back on track! My two phenotypes are totally different too. Like one of them is twice the size and will for sure take a couple of weeks longer. Getting close to the 10week mark, so lets just see how it plays out😁
@DESER90, thanks, and so cool that u are growing this strain too! There arent too many decent diaries on this strain yet, so I decided to share because growdiaries has helped me a lot with choosing what to grow. So lets make this a good one for the books✌️🏽 I will stay tuned on your grow, mate
