Beginning of week 1 veg.
Seedlings are in small light mix pots and are lightly watered with ph buffered Formulex when required.
I have a couple of Alienz by greenhouse seed co I’m gonna pop also. I’ve not found much info on this particular strain so it should be fun.
My plan is to run 3 plants in 3gal pots. I’ll choose my keepers in the coming week or so.
** the white skunk seedling has been scrapped and replaced with Alienz by GHSC.
This week I’m repotting 2 of my plants into larger pots containing Biobizz all mix. Three days before repotting I gave both of the new pots a little root juice and covered them in a sealed bag. They were left in the warmth of the tent to stimulate the microbes(see soil photo).
The Alienz by Greenhouse seed co has germinated and is added to the diary. She’s a little stretched looking from the propagation warmth. I’m planning on around 6 weeks veg in total for this grow, so there’s plenty of time for her to catch up.
4 days after repotting the plants have started to take in nutrients. The Fan leaves are looking healthy and the roots are starting show at the bottom of the pots. I’m hoping to keep them in these pots for another 10 days.
The Alienz seedling is approximately 2 weeks behind the other two, it seems to be following the same growth as the others so I’ll probably repot it in a few days. At the moment it’s a little overwatered
This week has been a bit troublesome. I’ve moved the tent to a different place due to cold temps and high humidity. I’ve also lifted the pots off the tent floor as the bottom of the fabric pots were very cold. I think the combination of bad conditions and a slightly heavy feed caused a Nute lockout/mag deficiency.
Due to the issues this week I’m going to veg for another week to recover.
Feed
1 ,Bio heaven/Acti Vera/Bloom 1 litre
2 ,cal mag 1 Litre
3 ,alga mic 1 Litre
1 separate feed of each over the last 7 days . I added a little bloom earlier than planned, hopefully the plant will find something in there that it’s lacking.
This week the plants have started to get hungry. The 3 gal pots feel solid with roots and the growth has slowed down, so I’ve made the decision to repot into 7 gal. It’s a little late for it but i still think they’ll benefit from the fresh soil and more root space.
Currently feeds are
Feed 1 .. grow,bloom,topmax,cal-mag
Feed 2 .. bio heaven, acti-Vera
Feed 3 .. Alg a mic
I also added a watering of fish mix to the master kush and alienz to give them some extra N.
This week I repotted into 2 7gal and 1 5gal. I substituted the bio grow for root juice and dropped the cal mag. I also removed some lower leaves to make more room for watering.
Feed 1
4ml root juice 1ml top max 2ml bio bloom (1.5L)
Feed 2
1ml acti vera 2ml bio heaven (1 L)
Feed 3
Alg a mic 4ml (1L).
The finished flower is incredibly sweet and pungent. This pheno took on some lovely colours towards the end, the contrast between the lime green and those darker shade leaves was very striking.
The aroma of the plant became very lime citrusy towards the end . As it’s drying the smell is balancing out and the tester bug I smoked had a fruity flavour with a hint of watermelon in there. I’m very pleased it has a resemblance to its description.
I’d like to have a go at this one again with a bit more knowledge onboard.
@LegacyMarketFarm, thanks for your input. Very interesting. What you’re saying is very relatable to the issues I felt I had during the grow.
I’m currently planning my next cycle and would really like to expand my knowledge as I go. I’ll look forward to your advice going forward buddy!.
@Kendoda, Your temperature gaps are generally pretty tight, Between lights on and lights off. As you approach flower & into the first few weeks of flower that gap opens up more 9 degrees on the thermostat, Could be 10 degrees or more in reality. Up until week 3 of flower, Generally day 21 the plant is still growing & environmental stresses in the form of large temperature swings between lights on and lights off, Simulate the approaching end of the season in the plants genetic code they react to this by stretching to try and hurry up and finish their first goal of growing up tall and wide before forming flower.
So that is one promoter of un-wanted stress I see in the diary. For 100W LED you are going to want them closer than 18 inches, Do you have a PAR meter or a thermal temp laser gun to monitor plant top temps ? I would say lower PAR than what the plants require to give them the proper DLI ( Daily light integral ) which causes the plants to chase up after the PAR, Combined with the wider temperature gaps right when the plant is beginning its early flower stretch are the 2 contributors to your stretch here & are easily fixable :)
