Welcome to my Terra Power VS Advanced Nutrients CBD CA grow by Dutch. Be sure to drop a like or comment so I can visit your grows, good luck!!
4/5/22 And the mission to find that right CBD plant continues. We did like the CBD auto 20:1 from FB but isn't close enough to our dispensaries CBD weed.
Running these 2 on 2 different nutrients. Another Terra Power VS Advanced Nutrients comparison grow. Will be matching nute for nute and gonna let 'em duke it out.
Am just starting on plain Jane distilled tap. No PH- PH was 6.7 ppm 102. Will be adjusted after I take them out of the glass and will just use PH adjuster water as a germination fluid. Nothing special. These seeds stand out on their own. Fresh too, as they only got them in was waiting on the call to pick em up and got offered 7 for 60euro or 3 for 40euro. Easiest choice ever. Even if I don't use em I'll get round to it. Or they'll go to a few ppl on here.
7/5/22 we have lift off on 1 of them have a small tap root. Will wait until 2moro and then I'll get on another if 1 doesn't germinate. Need at least 2.
Have it in 25c 60RH..
Both seeds are in their pots
6/5/22 So, it's begun. I've created a negative pressure environment, 1st time, let's see if it makes an impact. On wk 3 onwards I'll be running the intake extraction for 5mins every 30mins and I'll have 2 co2 bags up. If the RH becomes a problem or temp I'll put the extraction/intake back on 100% of the time. The extraction fan/intake is set at a ratio of 2 to 1. (100% extraction 50% intake) making a negative pressure environment, best way to show you have done this, the walls in your tent should bow in lightly

Idk wat happened to my comments they were wipped.
11/5/22 Growing so poxy slow. I think she's done for tbh. I've upped the EC I need to try push this lil fuckers into growing.
Out of 2 seeds 1 died. Out of 4 poxy seeds 2 only germinated and 1 died and this 1 has seemed to have stalled.

WK 2 VD8 17/5. Its going, very slow but it's going. Just going to sit back and hold my breath. Will stick with a light diet of TP nutrients.
18/5/22 Figuring out how VPD works. You could read for hours about this stuff and still not dial it in for years.
But here's the basics. VPD 0.4-0.8 kpa for early seedling. So under or around 23c and around 50-60 RH. atm my VPD is 1.05kpa and for most of my plants the optimal range is .8-1.1 kpa. Temp is 80 F 25C and RH is 70%. To find the perfect VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit)check out optimal ranges of VPD for growing stages, also your strain should have the optimal VPD. I don't have an infrared temp to check the LVPD (Leaf Vapor Pressure Deficit) that's a whole other ball game. Atm it's not the optimal range for this plant and it's showed for the first week but as it's coming out off the seedling range hopefully growth should explode. Understanding this stuff has really transformed my grows. Look at my growth on D16 and look at my 1st set of grows on D16 they are at least a week behind.

Wk 3 VD15 25/5 Transplanted her into her new home. Great root growth. Am going to up the EC by .6 for this week and also will be introducing 2 calmag feeds a week by themselves.
29/5_22 Doing ok. A little slow. But Shes growing.
Growing slowly. I really think its the tent with the heat keeping my plants smaller than they are growing in my tent. Or they just like a colder climate. Can't wait to get my AC unit to be able to control temps. Idk but it looks like it's coming close into flowering. Or about 5 days away from showing stigma. There isn't any pistils as of yet around the lower bud sites that's what to look out for. Lil hairs under the top shoots will show a few days before stigma starts. Also the look it has now. Is also another light sign its heading into pre pre flower phase. Yes, there this stage, then the pistils growing under the top shoots, that's bud sites that will connect to your top shoot. You'll know your last shoot is coming when the node underneath isn't growing and just putting out white hairs it means that's the last shoot to come out and in 4-5 days you will have stigma.
Yup. Going to start counting Flower days now. She's so small. This sucks.
6/6/22 plant is small. Annoying. But hey. It is what it is. It has to be the tent. Thankfully I've been able to get the temp dropped from 27 28 in the black tent. 25 in the large tent 25.5 in the black. Hopefully she'll have a decent stretch in pre flowering. As Nmike said in the comments co2 will help, especially in the pre flower stage but I currently don't have the PPFD. Hopefully my TS1000 will get here soon. She puts out 1350 ppfd at 30cm so I've opened all 3 co2 exhale bags and hopefully the exhaust just going and a sealed grow room will help keep co2 in a decent range. Dehumidifier has been working. 2-4 hrs a day. Very very hard to keep RH in a decent range. The electricity bill is going to be sky high. With that working it uses the same power as my 3 lights. So with the fans 3 lights dehumidifier, I'm thinking it'll using around 7-750watts/hr. Roughly 40cent an hour. That's €8 a day. That's 240e a month. I'm not there yet. But the last month the dehumidifier will be running 14-16hrs a day.
Week 5. Annoying that she flowered earlier than I'd of liked, but autos are autos. I've had no stalls this time around. All my autos have flowered under or close to the 4 week mark 25-30 days. RH has been a nightmare to just keep at 55. And I'm thinking I'll have to spend a shit load of money to keep in or close to 35. So the hell with that. 45RH will be the lowest I'll be aiming for this round. I feel I just don't have enough plants going to go all in with the electricity bill. 45RH will be just fine.
Week 6. FD12 D35 Plant is doing OK. She's under an FC 3000 now so hoping to see killer results. I done some light lollipopping to get and hopefully this will lead to bigger denser buds on top.
Thanks for dropping by.

Week 7. 27/6 Fd17 D40 Not too impressed with the bud quality. A lot of poxy sugar leafs, a lot. Its 80% leaf this lady.
Mind you there is some mass to the bud and its early days we are just out of pre flower and now comes the fattening process then ripen and pulk her. In that order. And don't forget I have to add the flush part in (just to annoy some ppl).

Thanks to my sponsors, marshydro & terra power. And to the ladies I deal with they are great at what they do.
Use code GGS for a little discount on any marshydro site, (except amazon)
Week 8. Fd30 D54 Fell into bad def very quickly. With growing so much in soil I keep forgetting I have a couple of coco plants. And I've let this girl take a back seat. She's doing okay. Not much to her. She put on a few cm touching 41.
Didn't grow how I'd of liked. Think I'm done with topping autos. Or at least I'll be trying my next round without doing it. I'd like to grow and in soil and see can I get any better. The buds are super dense and the frost has came some at the end.
It could of been left longer but it hasn't changed at all in the last 10 days. After the frost came she just stopped.
