First week and all seeds germinated except one green crack auto.
Successful germination,
2 x Easy Bud
2 x Green Crack Auto
1 x Royal Dwarf
1 x Quick One
This is one of my first grows and unfortunately it's on a windowsill. I chose the strains that might have most success with easy growing genetics (all autos ofcourse).
If anyone has any tips how to get the most out of a windowsill grow it would be much appreciated.
Should I start with some veg nutrients now? They're about 1 week old.
Still early days but Royal Dwarf is doing best out of all. Bit of a struggle for sun and a lot of stretching going on. Plenty of rainy days recently but when the sun gets going she drinks it up and looks great.
Will be starting with veg nutrients next week. Hoping it makes the difference 🤞
Week two done and so far so good. Royal Dwarf by far doing the best and growing biggest even though it's supposed to be a Dwarf plant. Other strains coming along nicely albeit on a windowsill.
Fed them once with Plagron Alga grow and they've responded well.
A few too many flies on the soil and hovering around the plants. Thinking they're gnat flies after a bitta googling. I've basil and mint plants on the same windowsill but flies don't seem interested in them. Possibly due to too much watering so I'm going to let them fully dry out before watering again.
Any tips or advice would be much appreciated.
After leaving them for a week I came back to see they had thrived. Tanlin drops for fungus gnats and yellow sticky pads seemed to work a bit. Hopefully next water of tanlin will help.
Started LST mainly due to limited windowsill space and to stay somewhat incognito for the neighbours. And hopefully bigger yields.
Tried some low stress training and ended up breaking the Royal dwarf stem. It's OK with some tape though. Not sure if I done the LST right? Probably should have done it a bit sooner I think. Not sure if it will have an impact on yield.
On a plus note flowering started on easy bud and quick one. Fed them with a small bit of alga bloom. Still just alga grow for the two non flowering strains
First week of proper flowering. All strains starting to sprout some nice pistols and early buds. Smell has gotten stronger in the last week so I'll probably be investing in some odour neutraliser. They've nearly doubled water consumption in the last week.
Gonna do a little bit more LST to restrict height. Not a lot of room on windowsill and the taller they are the more obvious they are down below on the ground.
Not sure if I should do a bit defoliation to help more sun get to bud sites?
Coming along nicely. Maybe too nicely and too big for the windowsill.
Anybody have any idea how they might manage if I move a couple of plants to a 100w led instead of the natural light through the window? Would it stress the plants too much or would it work out OK? They will receive more light under the bulb than the window but I'm thinking it will shock them?
All strains are proving to be fairly healthy and resilient. Excellent genetics, given the fact they're only getting about 8 hours of sun per day on a windowsill.
Smell is getting stronger. Harvest can't come quick enough.
Will invest in plagrons green sensation this week in the hope for fatter smellier buds 🤞
Another week done and more successful bud growth.
Quick one will most likely be ready first hence the name. Buds are very smelly and very sticky. Won't be the biggest yield however.
Easy bud so far looks like biggest yields but I reckon Royal dwarf will be very close as it flowered later and is overall a bigger plant.
I'm looking most forward to the smoke from green crack and hoping it's yields are up there with easy bud and the dwarf.
Small bit of defoliating done and all plants fed some green sensation from Plagron.
Weather has been good this week and helped the plants a lot.
Quick one is looking very close to harvest.
Easy bud should be next
Royal dwarf and grown crack could be a few weeks away yet.
Flushing quick one and easy bud and playing the trichome waiting game.
Royal dwarf and Green crack still on the nutes for now. Still a few white pistols
The nicest looking bus put of the lot. More density than the rest. Nice smell. Hard to put a finger on it but kind of piney and earthy I thought. Very mellow buzz and stronger than I was expecting. Could anytime of the day strain.
@Hazeykushhash, no word of a lie but legit sun power and tap water legit no maintenance what so ever I used biobizz all mix soil didn't fail me so stuck with it on my 1st proper grow
@MANIIAKSINDUBS, Thanks very much man, much appreciated. If I get a half ounce each from the 4 of them I'll be happy. I will be using Cana tera veg and cana tera flores. Not sure when to start with the the nutrients. Did you use nutes on your window?
Good luck man! They are looking well and healthy :). And you left some space in the pot to fill in case they stretch? My royal dwarf got quite big as well... Haha.
My indoor plants had some issues with those flies as well. I bought these glue sticks/papers/traps that you stick in the pott. It doesn't kill the larvae, but it attracts the flies when they get out of the soil. It works really well for me and most of them are trapped hehe.
@MrSeaturtle, Many thanks bro. So far I'm fairly happy. I actually didn't fill the pots fully cause I was just cautious if I had enough soil for all the pots 😂 . But that's a great point incase they do need a bit of extra support if they stretch.
Yeah funny you say that about the dwarf. Probably gonna LST her anyway to keep her small and discreet.
I'll definitely be investing in some of those yellow sticky traps for the flies though. A lot of recommendations for them.
Thanks again 👍
@Hazeykushhash, all good brother here to help if I can also if you want 2nd advice(much better advisor lol) hit up my guy BSG420 on here he will direct you in right path
@MANIIAKSINDUBS, yeah I went for it and snipped the oldest looking fans and the ones that were too big and blocking light from buds. Plants don't seem stressed thankfully. I'll wait a week and see how it goes like you said bro. Thanks for the advice bro.
I'll hit you up in dm with a few questions 👊
@Hazeykushhash, have a look at your plant bro, see what's getting covered and clip them my 1st time I clips 5/8 fans from mid and bottom gave her a week then clipped some more hit me up in the dm bro
Die kleinen Ladys schauen super aus 👌
Ich persönlich würde aber etwas gegen die Trauermücken unternehmen 😅
Die lästigen Insekten sind schädlich für Pflanzen, ihre Larven ernähren sich nämlich von jungen Wurzeln. Ganz junge Pflanzen können durch den Fraß sogar eingehen.
@Hazeykushhash,
Ich habe Tanlin gerade mal gegoogelt, das schaut ziemlich interessant aus 🤔
Ich habe vorher noch nicht davon gehört, im Zweifelsfall würde ich da eine Frage an die Gemeinschaft stellen, bestimmt hat schon jemand Erfahrung damit gemacht.
Ich kaufe Nemathoden über Amazon. Die Firma heißt "Nemabest". Da kaufe ich die kleinste Einheit, kostet etwa 4 Euro.
Da gibt es aber noch viele andere Anbieter
@GreenOrganicGermany, Your advice is much appreciated my friend. Where could I get nematodes? I was thinking of getting some Tanlin drops and soaking it through the soil.
Unfortunately I have to leave the plants on their own for a week while I head away so I'm not sure if I should soak em with tanlin drops before I go or leave em completely dry for the week and hope that sends the flies packing 🤔
@Hazeykushhash,
nichts zu danken, gerne doch !
Also mit Gelbtafeln hält man die Biester recht gut im Griff.
Gerade auf der Fensterbank oder auch im Garten ist das ein ständiges Problem. Falls du sehr viele auf deiner Pflanze hast, kannst du sie mit einer Emulsion aus Wasser, Speiseöl und etwas Kernseife (oder Spülmittel) besprühen.
Wenn der Befall stark ist, also deine Erde stark befallen ist hilft nichts besser als Nemathoden 👌
Die fressen die Larven der Trauermücken solange, bis keine mehr da sind 😁
@Blabina, yeah the dwarf is a pleasure to grow. Its actually my tallest plant funny enough out of easy bud, quick one, green crack auto and royal dwarf ofcourse
@Hazeykushhash, u wait till she explodes I'll love it, thank you for asking she's doing amazing I'm in the last stretch got about 3/4 week she's smelling amazing bulking up aswell
@MANIIAKSINDUBS, Much appreciated bro. I'm surprised how well they're doing. Didn't expect such growth on the windowsill. Probably only getting between 6 and 8 hours of sun a day.
How's your green crack coming along?
