Imperium X - Clone

Grow_with_Cookie D29 - A friend gave me some clones from his Imperium X. He grew them up to good roots and nice looks and gave them to me. There were 5 girls, one lost interest just 2 days after the transport. The rest had to wait in quarantine (treated with neem) under not-so-good conditions for the first few days until their new home/soil was ready. After about a week in quarantine/storage 🙈, these are the two princesses that won. They've been in the tent for a week now and have developed well. #1 seems to not have liked the stress from the last few days too much, flowering?🤔 Thanks to and made by Love_2_grow 😉 I'm happy that they're doing well and I'm curious to see what happens in the coming weeks. D30 - Everything looks good, the girls are growing. #1 I only removed a few leaves. #2 started LST today, which once again ended up in HST (I'm an idiot). As I saw in my other diary C.C. auto, I don't think it's that bad. D31 - Both girls seem to be doing well 🤗 #1 is gaining size nicely. Today I only cut off two leaves again. #2 I'm even more pleased that she's doing well. For the struggles yesterday, she looks great. All branches, even the broken one, have stretched nicely towards the sun. D33 - Both are growing and thriving. #1 is doing her thing and looks good doing it. #2 I defoliated today so that light can reach all the new shoots again. Both girls received 0.3l of water at pH 5.7 today.

Grow_with_Cookie D38 - It was a tough week, we had main-lining, LST, HST, everything was included. I discovered thrips on one of my two girls today. I sprayed them with neem and watered them. They got bokashi 5ml/1l pH 5.8 water to start the week. D40 - The coloring of the stems is a bit concerning for #2. #1 is slowly taking shape. The thrips are gone again. I will definitely keep monitoring closely. Otherwise, everything looks good.

Grow_with_Cookie D45 - today 1/10 bokashi juice was fed and a few leaves were removed. D49 - so far everything looks good. When my C.C. girl is ready in the next few days, I need to make some adjustments. The light is currently hanging a bit too high and each will get their own. It's very interesting to see how differently the two behave with different techniques. The garden is always fascinating.

Grow_with_Cookie D72 - the last two weeks have just been about growing, watering, enjoying. Yesterday I adjusted the lighting and today it got trimmed. D73 - currently there's a little fungus gnat plague again. That's why I also trimmed the clover back generously while trimming. It's living soil. It is what it is 😉

Grow_with_Cookie D78 - like every day 1l (today pH 5.8) of water per girl, today with bokashi juice. Otherwise, removed a few leaves and branches. I'm doing the training so intensively because I know from my friend "Love_2_grow - IMPERIUM X", the sky is the limit 😅 D82 - today each one finally gets their own light. Moved everything around a bit, adjusted it, and removed a few sun sails.

Grow_with_Cookie D88 - the girls are doing well. They get about 1.5 liters of water every day (pH 6 +-0.5) and bokashi juice every Saturday. Since I made some mistakes with defoliation in my last grow, I was a bit more radical with defoliation today on #2.

Grow_with_Cookie D99 - the girls are doing well and they're doing their thing. They each get about 1.5 liters of water every day (pH 5.5 - 6.2, also Flo14 last week). As with every week start, there's Bokashi Juice today and additionally a quarter teaspoon of Rock flour. The size reference is for #2. Since I was a bit worried about the size of this strain due to space constraints 😅, as you can nicely see in Love_2_grow's diary. For this reason, I initially did a lot of stress training. I assume the purple branches (which are slowly turning greener again) are still a sign of stress, which leads to the blockage of certain nutrient uptake and regeneration. However, since the leaves don't show any major abnormalities, I'm not worried about that.

Grow_with_Cookie D110 - there's not much to do, daily watering, remove one, two, three leaves, the girls are doing their thing. The purple stems (since the veg phase), which I suspect came from the stress training, haven't reverted back. Since they both seem to be doing well, I'm not worried. When I look at other diaries, I would say that I've significantly stunted growth due to all the stress training. Since I'm quite satisfied with the cola formation (more with #1 than #2), I hope this doesn't negatively affect taste, effect, .... Due to my limited space and setup, I'm not sad about that for now. Negative: with my training, I've ruined the canopy. No good distribution of the buds ☹️ Learned something again, next time it will be done better. In conclusion, they're getting nice colors, look great, and already have a very good scent. I like it!

Grow_with_Cookie D117 - I've unfortunately had a bit less time lately. But the girls seem to forgive me and are very low-maintenance. As always, each of the two gets about 1.5 liters of water (around pH 5.8) per day, once a week with bokashi juice. Today I trimmed the ground cover a bit since I couldn't find the moisture meters or feel the soil :D #2 is struggling with its thin stems and the now heavier colas, with its stability. The fabric pots are completely filled with roots 👍🏽, which I could see yesterday from the complete tilt of pot #2. I tied up the stems that needed it with plant wire to a frame. Those that don't need it will be tied up later and can still train a bit. The smell is getting more intense and smells wonderful. Every day is a pleasure to open the garden and it's a beautiful sight.
