Mother Plant was grown from seed, germinated the 4th of december 2022, by the 8th I trasplanted her to organic soil and she was and still is healthy. On 21/01/23 I accidentally broke the two apical stems trying to LST and used them as cuttings in my first attempt to clone, I simply stuck them in a bought premixed soil with coco and some compost, they took a while to root but both did and are now healthy plants so I decided to start taking cuttings contantly and try to make a perpetual grow cycle. I now have three tents, a small (80x80x160) for the mother plants, a medium (100x100x200) for veg and a big (150x150x200) for flower. Theres nothing automated in the tents other that the light cycle. I'm also using ceramic cones as dripping watering and occasionally manually water with some seaweed extract. As sustrate I'm using Klasmann Ts3 and adding compost, vermicompost and solid organic amendments (bone meal, bat guano, blood meal, fish meal, gypsum salt, and a little bit of azomite and dolomite) I also germinated two new KeroseneKrash from Dutch Passion to get a new phenotypes, I'll take cuttings and keep the plants from seed as mothers.
15/02/23 First time I'm taking cuttings to get clones, I took ten cuttings with some variation in lenght, thickness and location in mother plant. I submerged the cuttings instantly in rainwater and started to remove all but last two nodes and then I chopped the tips of big fan leaves. I also scrapped 2cm from the bottom of the stem and used Clonex rotting gel to place them in jiffy pellets.
16/02/23 Cuttings look fine, humidity is 99% and temperature 29.5 °C
18/02/23 Cuttings still look good, I'm only checking one for root development although it is early. I didn't notice any roots, moreover my dome seems to be leaking humidity.
23/02/23 Still no signs of rooting
24/02/23 (Day 10) Still no root development, I realized I'm cooking the cuttings at 30 Celsius so I moved the dome to a different tent with lower light intensity and temp is now reading 26 Celsius and humidity at 91%
25/02/23 Checked on the cuttings and found two are starting to show roots. Also found a burnt tip with mildew which I instantly cut from the plant, seems the high humidity and temperature were causing trouble. No with lower temperature (24 Celsius at night 26 celsius with light) and lower humidity (85%) they look much healthier.
26/02/23 Five cuttings showed roots, they all look fine.
27/02/23 More cuttings are rooting.
28/02/23 More root development all but one showed roots.
03/03/2023 I trasplanted 9 rooted clones to 1L tubular pots. Added a humidifier in the tent to raise humidity for the first 2 days.
04/03/2023 All clones look healthy
09/03/2023 Girls are looking good and happy, slow new growth is visible. I'm watering them once every 2 or 3 days or when I see them drooping.
14/03/2023 I've been dealing with energy outage and having to take the girls outside with 33 to 39 degrees celsius, I am getting sun/heatburnt in some leaves but theres nothing else I can do otherwise they'll start flowering.
19/03/2023 All clones are looking healthy, still watering when I see them drooping. I am now testing some liquid organic fertilezers from Biobizz and they seem to be good for plants so far. Had some leaves get heatburnt and some spider mites or thrips from the outside exposure I had to give them during the energy outage, therefore I'm using neem oil with potasic soap and cinnamon product to combat them.
21/03/2023 Transplanted all clones to 10L root house pots they all look fine.
24/03/2023 Plants look fine after transplant, I FIM all clones. On the left side of the tent against the wall there's 2 more KK#1 clones and a KK#2 clone (in plastic pot). I placed ceramic cones for drip watering and co2 enhancement to the tent since my extractor is not powerful enough to give me sufficient air supply, also the reason that temps are high. DLI in the center of the tent is around 55
25/03/2023 Removed the dripping ceramic watering cones coz some were not working properly (probably coz I failed at setting them up) Nevertheless I want them to soak most of the moist from their new pots for root stretch.
30/03/2023 Moved plants closer together and lowered both leds to about 50cm from the canopy. Increasing significantly the amount of PPFD. Only watered once since transplant to moisten the top soil. Plants are looking fine, still battling thrips, mainly in the two big clones on fabric pots, I cleaned them thoroughly and been spraying all clones almost daily with cinnamon + neem oil + potassium soap. I also started bending a bit the tops (LST) a few days ago. Defoliated some fan leaves covering nodes towards the center of the tent.
31/03/2023 Brewing compost tea for 24hs with following recipie:
7.5L rain water
1 cup C.A.O.S worm castings
1 cup C.A.O.S compost
1/2 cup bat guano
1 tbsp Namaste Amazonia (mycorrhizae)
30ml Bio grow from Biobizz (Dutch sugar beetroot extract) kinda molases
15ml seaweed extract from Algadelta
LST: I tied all 9 clones.
02/04/2023 Foliar spray with fish mix from biobizz once or twice per day since humidity dropped drastically.
06/04/2023 Foliar spray with Neem, soap and cinnamon for thrips control. Girls are looking bushier by the day.
07/04/2023 Topped all clones hoping it grows taller in all lower nodes and gets even, hoping to place scrog net soon. I did some foliar spray with Fishmix (1ml/L) and bioenhancer(0.5g/L).
13/04/2023 Watered 10% of container amount with Biobizz, lots of runoff because of dry soil (last water was compost tea 13 days ago), left them soaking from the bottom tray for at least 4 hours then drained the excess water.
20/04/2023 I neglected the girls this week, I've been lazy but they did ok without attention. Watered today since two girls were droppy, 0.8L per pot with Bioenhancer and Biobizz line.
04/06/2023 Last 3 weeks to harvest, been watering a bit more often, using biobizz atleast once per week, other times just plain rain water, I just defoliated lower yellow fanleaves and some small fanleaves on flowersites. I'll just water using biobizz from now on, hoping the buds fatten and ripe to their full potential. Overall they look very healthy, yet I don't think I'll get as much quantity as I hoped for.
