Hello and welcome to this try and error growdiary.
Germination Day is the day i let her soak overnight, in water.
She shows her little head app. 4-5 days later, not entirely sure.
After i let her soak overnight i put her in a plug from biotabs. Wicked stuff!
Just ten days and her roots came through the fluffy medium.
I let some peat pellets soak in water, then let em dry. Crushed these and mixed it with a little growing soil.
Since them she grow in the container you can see on the picture.
A little bit lst is done one week earlier. Second lst two days earlier.
Water her every two days so far. Only Rainwater besides 1 very small dose of triacontanol on day 17.
From Day 4-5 she stand under 38W Custom Led spotlights, screwed into a piece of wood. It contains 1 20W 6500k; 2 4.5W 3000k 2 4.5W 4000k.
These are the spotlights you use for lighting the entrance of your homes. They work excellent in my experience. Especially in cold times.
Since the older leds produce more heat, its a bonus for me at this time.
From today, day 21. Remember. Day 0 is the day she gets soaked overnight. Day 1 into medium. Day 4-5 breakthrough.
She stands under another custom "board". 1 30W 6500k 2 20W 3000k. Some other spotlights.
Also used since the beginning is my good ol heatbed to give her warm feet. Old fashioned 25W bulb generates some warmth.
Oh yeah, and from Day 0 she stand into a mini greenhouse, which cover i removed day 14-16.
Sorry, but didnt make a notice this time.
But now to the interesting part!
I start with a light shedule i wanted to try for a long time.
Always noticed the plants looked kind of unhappy after more then 16h of light. Like they Want to sleep.
I will hold it short and give you the plan in detail. I will refer to day 4 as day 0, the breakthrough. So day 0 is day 1, on day 6 she has given 16 h of light every day, for seven days.
Day 0-6 16/8 Day 7-13 15.5/8.5 Day 14-20 15/9 Day 21-27 14.5/9.5 Day 28-34 14/10 Day 35-41 13.5/10.5 Day 42-48 13/11 Day 49-55 12.5/11.5 Day 56-62 12/12
Day 63-69 11.5/12.5 Day 70-76 11/13 Day 77-83 10.5/13.5 Day 84-90 10/14 Day 91-97 9.5/14.5 Day 98-104 9/15 Day 105-111 8.5/15.5 Day 112-118 8/16.
9 Weeks from the day of breakthrough till 12/12.
From this point you have 8 weeks from 12/12 to 8/16.
17 Weeks in total. 4 months, one week.
Lets Grow!
Gran trabajo! Se ve genial esa curva y como recibe la luz. Los horarios que has elegido (oh la la) muy buen trabajo! Eso es imitar las condiciones optimas en cuanto a riego, e incluso el gato comiendo hojas es lo mas natural para ellas. Buen aรฑo para ti!
@bloomagic,
I growed one other strain only for her, but she ignores it. :(( She was crazy after the Anesthesia!
Which i can understand. Her leaves tastes great. Really bitter, with a strong mint character. Yummy.
@Drgreen13,
Thank you! She looks very happy at the moment. :))
Repottet her two days ago from 0.25l to 1l volume.
Im very exited about the results of this light shedule.
Its a lot less then an 18/6 for 9 weeks + 12/12 for eight weeks.
Lets Grow. Happy Xmas and a good new year!
