Raizen Germination method used paper towel. When germination started, planted the seeds in a starting pot and in a propagator. Waiting till it starts to grow and put the starter pot straight in the 10l pot with the same mix for the soil. Germination method used: paper towels + plates. After the root appears (5mm), seed placed in a biodegradable starter pot to avoid any repotting and in a propagator. At the appearance of the cotyledons, the plants will be planted directly into the final pot containing the same substrate mix as the starter pot. Note: similar mix found all over the place (perlite, compost, potting soil, or vermiculite, perlite, soil, etc...) haven't decided yet. The starting mix is composed of potting soil and perlite. Soil mix kind of the same as what can be found on many threads (perlite, compost, peat moss, or vermiculite, perlite, soil, etc...) Haven't decided yet. The starting mix is soil and perlite.

Raizen First week done on Tuesday. Seedlings grew under the propagator until 7cm high. When the cotyledons popped out, I put the propagator outside the window for a few hours and then back inside. Did the same every day until the seedlings reached their actual size. Today, I put them in pots for their journey outside. Since the mix will get more compact afterwards and also to help the seedlings hold on better, I planted the seedlings down so that about 3cm are out of the soil. PS edit: Mix: 2L compost 2L perlite 6L ericaceous compost (which is more a kind of soil than real compost) Pot size: 11L, geotextile

Raizen 2nd week... Both plants are growing well at the beginning of the week, and the first challenges from the elements and pests are starting. Unfortunately, they fell over with the temperatures at the beginning of the weekend reaching 40°, followed by a hailstorm.... The stem of one of them cracked slightly and couldn't hold up anymore, so I tried to bury it a bit deeper by adding more soil. For now, it seems viable, but I admit I'm a bit worried about the future. With the heavy rains and hail, I also faced an invasion of slugs and surrounded the seedlings with fireplace ash. I also spotted a few ants scouting (2-3 max), so I added some cinnamon powder to the soil; apparently, the smell discourages them. We'll see.... 2nd week finished, seems both of them are doing right.... But had some major problems and now is the point where war starts 😂. First, elements... Friday and Saturday were really hot, up to 40° and plus.. After a short while they fell down. One hot straight back up after having some water, the other one was too bent (seems it broke at the base) but dug it a little deeper by adding slightly more soil mix, we'll see if it can still continue the road. Then the storm came... And with it the second point: pests. Slugs came out (noticed some slime on the soil and lots around the pots) so I've put some ashes around to prevent them from coming back. Also noticed 2-3 ants, so put some cinnamon powder on top of the soil with a teaspoon (apparently they hate the smell of it). So now just have to wait and see... Alea jacta est et si vic pacem, parabellum 😂 PS: I used the original size of the seedlings; in the following weeks, I will take the height above soil of Trinity as a benchmark, which will cause a size discrepancy with the growth equivalent to 4cm and 3cm more with Neo. Used the original plant size; from now on will use only the height out of the soil measurements on Trinity, which will decrease the height of the plants by 4cm and 3cm more for Neo. The total height is 9cm for both, Trinity is 5cm above soil and with the climate issues, Neo is at 2cm. However, I had already repotted them deeper by 4cm to shorten the base of the stem. Size of 9cm is total for both, Trinity is 5cm out of soil and with the issues I had, Neo is 2cm out of soil, but both were at first dug in the pot for 4cm more to shorten the plant base.

Raizen Unfortunately, the day after my previous post, Neo went back to the Matrix and Trinity is left all alone. In the end, the break at the base of the stem was too pronounced for me to save her. Since then, Trinity has started her third set and still with sets of three leaves, which gives her a nice little look. The cinnamon against the ants has proven effective, and the ashes for the slugs did the same. I'm preparing a homemade solution based on coffee grounds and banana peel infused in water. Once it's ready, I'll add a teaspoon of ashes and powdered cinnamon. Once filtered, I'll dilute it to 1/4 in 1L of water and use it once a week instead of regular watering. So for this week, bad news: Neo definitely went back inside the Matrix and Trinity is left alone. The base was too broken to keep up; the second pair of leaves popped out, but the first set and the cotyledons went yellow, showing it was time to forget about it when the second set stopped growing. Trinity, on the other hand, keeps on growing well; the third set has already popped out, still with three leaves, and the fourth one is coming too. The cinnamon against the ants did the trick, as did the ashes for the slugs. I started a homemade solution with coffee grounds and banana peel, infused in water. Once ready (one week at least), I'll add a teaspoon of ashes and one of cinnamon, filter everything, and use 1/4 on 1L. It will be used once a week instead of normal watering.

Raizen Tough weekend with the heatwave. But Trinity is still holding on and has almost doubled in size. Watering with tap water, or water from cooking, or banana peel solution. It's not as effective as market solutions, but the occasional boost seems to give her a little kick, so why not take advantage of it 😂.

Raizen Nothing much to mention this week, Trinity grows gently. Could stay out yesterday only half a day because of the heat (40° in the shade right next to her). Brought her back around 5pm because she was starting to bend. But as soon as she was put in the "cool," she bounced back right away, a little moment of stress but she’s recovering. To all the community, I hope that if you’ve been dealing with the same temperatures lately, your little ones are doing well. Happy grow!!! 😜👍

Raizen Strange week, sometimes it felt like we were in the middle of autumn and the next day back to full summer... Had temperatures ranging from 16° in the evening to 35° during the day... To limit stress, I placed her in the veranda for some approximate temperature control (it acts like a greenhouse...) Managed to keep variations to only 2-3°, night and day at around 28°. Received the LST clips for the next batch and couldn't resist testing them, placed two in for testing, not really sure if I set them up correctly, we'll see.

Raizen Another week done. Things are starting to smell good, should I say... Keeping bringing Trinity back inside for the nights, and in the morning the scent is so nice. Only took 3cm since last week, but I guess it's now entering the buds flowering phase (don't know what to call that, but I assume the plant won't grow more and she will concentrate on growing the buds). Cover pic is a cut leaf from the plant on an envelope with some color modifications.

Raizen :lonely day - SotD: (to have the instrumental) Just another week... And it's time.... Another week in her liiiiiiiife.... Now more seriously : As said, another week went, pistils are swapping for buds slowly and even starting to go orange. Some fan leaves are starting to loose their green colour slowly, didn't notice anything (it's not starting from somewhere on the leaves but some leaves are loosing colours evenly then turn yellow and fall), but will keep an eye on it for deficiencies, as i think maybe it's a bit early for this kind of behaviour. If it's natural, i might do a little cutting of them to help her focus on the buds (is this triming ?). Think Trinity is starting to concentrate the few nutes from the homemade solution and the soil on the buds instead of the leaves (but find it a little early for that). Sun was hard in the WE, and now raining cats and dogs. Hopefully can move her inside the veranda when it's raining too much. As she grows, my impatience does also, but it's better to call it "my urge for trying it". Will soon have to put a panel next to it mentionning "thou shall not pass !!!" to be sure not been toi noob and harvest too early 😂. (Nah, no worries, it's my first one so i'll give all the attention it needs, cause i know it will play in the end, as for experience gain and quality wise)

Raizen Update : Thanks for the replies, it help me out take a decision. Picked up the cutting option as i know how quick bud rot can spread if not noticed at the right time, and even if i did notice it quite early, it was already too late (as for a beginner like me). I've seen how bad it can get even for growers with expérience (so sad for you mate). Also... Havresting now even if too early i might salvage 50% in the best case scenario, worse one been having to get rid of all. How i did it ? Biggest issue was creating an aseptized environnement. 1- didn't take the risk of doing it where the grow room is. 2- used 2 scissors, 2 trays, 1 deep tray, 1 spray, sponge, microfiber cloth, cleaning alcool 70°, brake cleaner (yes, you gotbit right, brake cleaner 😂), latex gloves, net, cloth hanger. 3- cleaned everything with the brake cleaner, why ? Because it takes out most dirt easily and also dries almost instantly (and i also do some mechanics i always have some at home). 4- in the deep tray, put the scissors and soaked them in the alcohol for 1h, dipped the spong in it and cleaned the 2 others trays, let dry. 5- with one scissors cut the branches and put them on 1 tray (used the microfiber to swipe it before tonmake sure it was all dry). Brake cleaner again on the scissors and swipe with sponge. 6- cut all the buds from the branches and put them on the 2nd tray. Cleaned the first one using same method (brake cleaner + sponge soaked with alcohol and micro fiber to dry). At this point changed gloves. 7- thought about another issue... Bud rot is sneaky so deciced to undo each bud as much as possible, even if it would result in a huge amount of popcorn buds. Reason is to let them breathe as much as possible. So cut the buds softly one by one into smaller buds, checking everytime for any signs of rot. Then did the triming and put the buds back on the first tray. Then cleaning process again + took off gloves. 8- didn't find peroxyde hydrogen but got oxygen water 10vol. It's the closest i could find around in a short lap of time. Checked about it, found out it would be fine mixed in 1L water for 150ml. Got it in a spray and ready to use. 9- made a dryer with an old cloth hanger + some bugs net, supposed to be for drying, but would do a nice job with the cleansing process. Disposed the buds on it and gave a good spray (cloudy type) about 20 cm distance, on top AND beneath. Didn't keep the soil or else just in case and put them in a garbage bag, wich is now closed and away. With the first cut from yesterday night, almost half was already away. Main cola was getting struck on all it's lengh. While taking care of the buds, noticed the two next left on the main cola where already struck, so eventually i think i have around 45% to 50% of the harvest it should have made. Will let them dry as much as possible and check them again one by one, turning them over and giving another round with the spray. Then do another check when enough dry again, if it's ok start the real drying process up to curing. Had a look at the trichs, indeed they are not mature enough, but still a few being cloudy (i'm not sure about that part though 😅). But one thing i'm sure is, at least i rather be able to use my harvest even if the high is far from it's potential but salvage, then end up with nothing. If it was on several plants at once i would maybe have tried other options just to learn more as well as going through a salvage process, but on only one plant and with so few experience, risk is too big. Still it's kind of a warning 'cause i'm having humidity issues in the tent also, for now it's not critical, but i need to figure out something to lower humidity. Week started great... But in two days got wrong... High humidity outside and didn't really notice as it was hot (should have with the clouds maybe...) Top Bud was looking strange so unfolded it gently and noticed.... Black mold 😭😭.went around all of them it looks it didn't spread much yet but lost a consistant part of the harvest... Think i'll have to harvest tomorrow wich is quite early or worse... Will add a question through the diary and wait tomorrow to decide what to do (+some researchs)

GrowingGrannieanswered grow question 4y ago

Raizen... you've caught me doing exactly what you are doing here... My advice is to chop now and save whatever you can of her! I tried to cut out the bud rot and let the rest of the plant continue but it spreads and spreads and spreads.... the spores have a rather deadly aim! I've been cutting out so much every day, my actual harvest is going to be sad. I was waiting because I wanted the trichs to improve just a LITTLE - but they're not ... so I'm pretty sure my entire grow is going to go to edibles or some such.... But that's ok... a learning experience for me! Chop NOW... don't wait... it's not going to be worth it! And expect, when you trim, to find even more of that nasty fungus... when you encounter it, cut it out and sterilize your knife/scissors/whatever.. and spray a little bit of a 1% hydrogen peroxide on the area ... this will effective kill the spores that are right there but the hydrogen peroxide will evaporate nicely off the buds... Good luck... get to work!

Raizen Now to sum up... For a first grow, was really interesting and fun to grow. Strains was normal to grow for a starter, maybe a more expériences grower would have even find it easy. Didn't go through much hazel while growing until the end came and thé poor lady caught too much humidity (climate around here is good, but a pain as it can change sooooo quickly like hard Sun one day and the other one raining cats and dogs). As for the results, got around 10g dried (didn't weight wet so have put 15g, as an estimation). It's now on curing process, but tried it when just finished dry, at least two see if any bad taste that could have been an alarm for more bud rot. Was fine, though as expected low high (but still even if slight, there was one).

Hey there friend. Congratulations on getting into growing cannabis! Would you be alright with me offering some pointers to help? So cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg we want to take advantage of this fact to help our plants grow along much quicker and more vigorously. In veg we can look for temps of 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for too much temperature swing between lights on and lights off while the plant is still growing vertically up to day 20 of flower, We will cause the plant to stretch ALOT which we do not want. So in veg & early flower, Keeping our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off is key. Utilizing humidity in our rooms during veg will also help out a lot with more rapid growth but we must introduce it properly. In our rooms we have our temperature and humidity set-points, But when we combine those 2 it forms a third set-point which is the most important & that is called VPD, Vapor pressure deficit. I strongly recommend every new grower or old grower who has not learned it yet, To study and understand it & implement it into your room, Logging your numbers daily. https://cerescann.com/importance-of-measuring-vpd/ For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1 This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil. https://autoflowerseedshop.com/cannabis-ph-chart-guide/ As we briefly touched on before, During veg & early flower we want our temperature gap's nice and tight to avoid stretch. Why exactly our plants stretch in response to this is a genetic trigger being activated by the environmental stress essentially telling the plant the end of the season is closer than it really is. In veg & early flower the plant is still in its first stage of development which is to grow up wide and tall so when it produces seed, It can cast them out nicely. Remember, Whether we are growing our plants for seed or bud their genetic responses do not change as they do not know any different. Once the plant has finished that first stage of growth by weeks 4-6 of flower with most strains, It is by day 20 of flower. Autoflowers you have to watch for it, But once the plant has finished this goal its new mission is to focus 100% on producing nice big flower clusters & to get very sticky so it can attract pollen to it successfully. So once that vertical growth is finished, We actually now want to begin to expose our plants to larger temperature swings between lights on and lights off. This will help activate that genetic response and allow us to draw out the most potential from the strain utilizing the plants genetic triggers to environmental stresses at the right times. We can also take this a step further with doing light deprivation in the last 2 weeks using less light to simulate cloud cover. Very cold feed temps on the last flush is very good too. If you do not have them already, Get yourself a good PAR meter & thermal laser temp gun to monitor your plant top temperatures & optimize how much light your plants are getting. One final thing, A fully mature cannabis plant @ peak consumption in flower, Or group of plants needs to consume 3gallons of water in 24hrs to produce 1 dry pound of cannabis. This equation holds true all the way up & it can be 1 plant or 100 plants but to produce each dry pound that plant or group of plants will need to consume 3 gallons in 24hrs. That equation will be true all the way up, 6 gallons in 24hrs your plant or plants will produce 2lbs dry, and so on. A general mistake made early on by growers is not watering the plants with enough for them to yield the way they should. We are currently in the middle of producing a very comprehensive tutorial series for everybody to learn from & understand how to grow the highest level craft cannabis all on their own. Our first 2 installments are focusing on the basic fundamentals and we are using autoflowers for them before moving onto more advanced series with photoperiods. If this interests you please check out our youtube and subscribe. The first 2 episodes are out the next one is coming in a few days. If you should ever have any questions or need any help, Please feel free to follow my profile and shoot me a DM. I will gladly help you with the pull down & make sure you get the best quality harvest possible as it is the most important step of the entire process. Happy growing friend!

@LegacyMarketFarm, thanks a lot for those starter tips. I'm taking advantage of the summer to let the plants outside, but to start did quite as what you said. Added in the description today 😉👍
