All my Zamaldelica x Kali China failed to sprout.
It doesn't change my excellent opinion about Ace Seeds but I had to start 2 other seeds with a strain with a slightly shorter flowering period to go with the Malawi x PCK (in their 1L pots since July 31th.
Ding !
I just grew Colombian Jack and Iit is excellent; I hesitated to grow it again for this grow.
So no more hesitations: and Colombian Jack AGAIN !
Both seeds sprouted in +/- 30 hours ( same than last time) and they went in their 1L pot today (03/08/2022).
Little watering with Roots + 1g/L and Roots + 0,3 ml/L/
RG 85%
24*C < T° < 27,5°C
They start in 1 L pot with Light Mix then 14 L ( not sure I will do another repotting this time) with DNA Mills ultimate with cork. It's my 8th time with this soil and I wouldn't do without it unless I'm forced to. It's a little bit too rich for every strain at the very beginning this is why I use some light mix for gemination and seedlings but after... it really makes wonders.
They share the 4x4 Ace seeds tent with the SE 5000 until repotting. Then I'll move the Colombian Jack and the Malawi x PCK to the 3x3 tent with SF 4000.
In both tents toping and scrog culture techniques are planned.
Journey started ! 🙏
Day 21 (23/08/2022): Both ladies topped 2 days ago. Today they went in to their new place that they will share with 3 other plants.
They are growing very fast (they are one week ahead in development compared to previous run at the same stage. After only 3 weeks, that's a lot !), strong and healthy.
ppfd is at 600 umol/m2/s.
I sprayed some neem oil yesterday before the light is off for the 2nd time since day 1.
Day 28 (30/08/2022): They grew a lot. I placed the net 2 days ago to start to train them a fill the grow surface better before switching to flowering.I think that they're going to have +/- 10 days more of 18/6.
They perform still better than during last grow: On day 28 they are a good week ahead compared to last time 😍.
Day 34 (05/09/2022): Last day of 18/12..
Both plants are more than 3 weeks ahead compared to previous run. They have the size they had after 2 weeks of flowering and 6 weeks of growth !!😟
The only differences that I find: more light during the first weeks, more heat (...), more CO2.
If they behave the same way than last time during flowering, the results should be impressive and so much the better 😍
Day 55 (26/09/2022): 21th day of 12/12. These plants are grower orientated : Easy to grow, beautiful, strong, vivid and good producers of excellent weed.
From my last experience, they are still performing better this time. Colas are going to be long big and dense. They reacted very well to blooming H and overdrive and they 'll have the same menu
Day 62 (03/10/2022: 28th day of 12/12. Buds are starting to fatten and smell is getting stronger. The grew nicely but didn't appreciate over watering: With 4,2 L every 4 days ( already a lot for 14L pots), the soil was too dry the 4th day. I gave them 5L instead but then it was too much...😱Also, the pH has been a bit too low for a week. They still don't look too bad.
Day 69 (10/10/2022):
35th day of 12/12.
It has been a bit of a panic in both grow tents: Underfeeding, overwatering, lamp to close, fixed fans pointing towards the plants and even power cuts (twice */- 1 hour) disrupting light schedule.
In addition, I didn't react soon enough to the first symptoms.
The grow shop advised to use revive and after 2 days, things are not getting worse and even a little better. I sprayed again some neem oil ( no harvest within next 3 weeks), I raise the lamps, lowered a litlle their intensity. Also changed fans height and orientation and came back to +/-0,8L/day for watering.
Both Colombian Jack suffered and show it. However, they're strong and despite all these troubles kept on fattening . Trichomes are out and started to turn orange.
I learnt again... Fine but I hope that I didn't mess up the grow. 🙏
Day 76 (17/10/2022): 42th day of 12/12: What is burnt doesn't ...revive and I'm sorry for the situation. Despite my errors, they kept fattening and should reach the end of the grow (+/- 4 more weeks) 🙏
Day 83 (24/10/2022): 49th day of 12/12. Top leaves don't look better but despite the errors that caused this situation, the colas kept on fattening nicely. They're at least 1,5 time bigger than those from previous run ( same seeds pack) and overdrive starts only next week...
RH is very high but ventilation is ok.
Day 90 (31/10/2022): 56th day of 12/12. It breaks my heart every time I open the tent and see how they suffered from my company. I finally found out what I did really wrong: Overwatering them with at least 5 times the recommended dosage of molasses. I don't know xhy, instead of 1ml/L I gave much much more. Bingo.
The colas still look rather nice and smell like they're supposed to; frosty ans sticky.
They have 2 more weeks to survive before harvest.
I
Day 97 (07/11/2022): 63 th day of 12/12.
Flushing started a couple days ago.Trichomes are still mostly cloudy (60/70%), transparent( (25% +) and very few amber just starting to show up.
Harvest within the nerxt 7/10 days.
Colas are now very dense, solid. Blooming H and Overdrive really do a great job.
Despite broken branches , Molasses overdose etc.. the plants managed to do their kind of life and dey weight should increase a little compared to previous growr.
As I already said many times, the final product is excellent and I have haven't been able again to grow Colombian Jack correctly from A to Z => I'm sure that it's possible to do better, if not much better => Never 2 without 3 ! There will be a third round !
Both plants cut on day 67 of 12/12 (11 /11 /2022) and are drying since in the 3X3.
Enough trimming to get a little finger hash ball: Everything's all right !😋
Harvested 4 days earlier than previous grow: Glad to have Colombian Jack again ! Same excellent weed, a tiny less effect duration and body side.
Because of my errors, I didn't get as much as expected and less than previous grow. Once again, 100% my fault.
I will for sure grow it again and with one more week of 12/12.
Beautiful, vivid, strong, resitant plants. Short internodes. Nothing changed !
They were performing like crazy until I overwatered them twice and with 5 times the molasses recommended dosage.
I should have flushed them and instead I used revive :).
They survived, gave me the excellent weed I was waiting for but I " only" got 140 g dry + 20 g of trim (270 g + trim last grow...).
Strong balanced effect bringing happyness in both body and soul.
Lots of trichomes, strong smell ( sweet, lemon, earth, fruit and more). I"ll update in a month for the great taste.
Gracias por elegir nuestra Colombia Jack de nuevo. Desde Kannbia te deseamos una experiencia de cultivo tan fructífera y agradable esta vez como las anteriores 😉💚🧡
