Spring BBC+Guests

Day 5 after germination. Seed break and developed a 6mm root 48 after being place in the good conditions then I placed it in a little pot into the soil I prepared 2 weeks ago for the vegetative period. Enriched Soil: - Substrate: Light Mix(BioBizz) 45% + worm Humus(BioBizz) + Blond and brown peat( Patchamama) + coco (Plagron) - draining : vermiculite + clay + perlite + seaweed powder - solid nutrients: blood and bone meal + bat guano + lava powder (light measure) Prepared 2 weeks, 3 is better. The 60L soil must be mix every 24 or 48h. No really watering; just sprayed on plant and soil rain water + 0.5ml root juice every 8 hour. Used a mini greenhouse for germination + heat mat 50W Light Mars Hydro TS 1000 : power 50% - 16h/day ————— —————— ——————- ——————-

Week 2 Critical period: vulnerable young plant but good comportement. The plantlet didn’t stretch too much: it seems strong, it’s a good start. Dinafem genetic never disappoints me. Use the Mars Hydro TS 1000 to give a white light to the young plant. Power: 50% - 16h/day Did a transplantation at the beginning of the week, choosing a 3L pot with the enriched soil inside and clay balls on top to prevent fungus gnats infestation. Conditions in the growing space under the stairs are good. I maintain a high humidity level for the moment and keep the heat-map 50W for the moment. ++++++++++ ++++++++++++ Roommates: Chronic Thunder (Barney’s Farm) Hindu Kush (Sensi Seeds) Big Foot (Sweet Seeds) Dinachem (Dinafem) Bubble Gum (RQS) Good start for everyone except for the Bubble Gum. After 3 failed with another Bubble Gum and an OG kush by RQS to 😤and an Afgooey by Greenhouse dead at the end of the first week 🤔

Almost 3 weeks for the Blueberry cookies. Change the light at the end of the week: Niello 300, vegetation mode, 18h/day The plant seems well installed in the pot. I’m focus on the root system: no really nutrients, just root stimulator. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Roommates: Same treatment, the delay between certain plants will be compensated along the next weeks. - big Foot take a successful start, I grew it outdoor last summer: it’s a sure value - Chronic Thunder well advanced - Hindu Kush look correct - Dinachem ok - Bubble Gum look so weird but I know it gonna be better.

Weeks 4 Remarkable Growth acceleration; the sensible period is passed but now I’m facing to a fungus gnats proliferation: humidity and heat are favorable conditions for this sort of parasites. I stopped the heating mat (who was not directly under the pot), to spray water, and I placed “yellow traps” (very sticky paper) to catch a maximum quantity of those little flies The clay ball on top of the soil slow down the proliferation and I added few drops of Neem oil in the watering mixture. Minimum watering with only root stimulator. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Roommates: uniform growth for every plants, enforcing good, especially Hindu Kush and Big Foot….Bubble Gum take more time.

Week 5 Growing well, vigorous and solid plant. 2 Watering / week : 30/40cl rain water + alg-A-Mic + root stimulator Persistent problem of fungus gnats : I put some « terre de diatomee »(powder) on the top of the soil: natural insecticide Sprayed the whole plant with a solution of Neem oil and natural soap (black soap) to prevent others Parasites. The sticky traps are working, catching numbers of flies… it’s a good thing to have in the grower basket. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Roommates: the whole Indica session is well engaged; good development for all. -Big foot/ Chronic Thunder/ Dinachem 👍 -Hindu Kush correct - Bubble gum 😒

Week 6 done Did the topping at the beginning of the week, cutting the apex after 5 nodes; the plant was enough resistant to be stress. Good result few days later: Healthy and vigorous with a fast growth. I consider 8 or 9 weeks of vegetative cycle for this session, trying to have a good rooting, solid structure before flowering. Watering 40cl every 60h: —-Humic Fulvic + root stimulator + Rain water —-Bio Heaven + root juice Fungus gnats are still there but situation started to be stabilized. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Roommates: all healthy plant, despite of the Bubble who si now Gum is recovering.

Week 7 vegetative cycle The topping did 10 days before is a success and don’t look stressed : the 2 solids top branches are well developed and stretch by a LST Transplantation into a 10L pot was done at the beginning of the week: the root system was dense. Same soil mix I prepared before (week 1) with a boost of mycorhise. Plant are now installed in the grow tent. I placed a Buddy Boost bag (for CO2) inside. All is ok to switch to flowering process, I’m waiting a little week more, changing the light today: Mars Hydro TS 1000 to continue. Watering 2 times: 50cl -Rain water + root stimulator + Humic fluvic -Rain water + veg boost Fungus gnats are almost disappear but I let some sticky trap around. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Roommates: Did the topping and on every plant at different moments. All are recovering good, enlarging and getting a uniform size. Transplantation into 10L pots for all. Big Foot👌 Hindu Kush / Chronic Thunder 👍 Dinachem 💪 Bubble Gum 😅

Great week: day 55. Flowering cycle 12/12 engaged since 48h. The plant is stretching: around 15cm in a week. Transplantation, new room and new light: the Blueberry cookies look happy, healthy and robust. Pretty green color: no signs of nutrients excess or deficiency. I added some bat guano (Guano Diffusion🇫🇷) NPK 3.6.10 on the top of the soil for a slow assimilation. Cut some bottom branches and adjusted LST. Checking the plant just 5 minutes each day, no problems till now. Fungus gnats are gone and conditions around the grow tent are optimum. Spring is back! Sprayed 2 times water + Humic Fulvic just before switching the light Watering 80cl every 60h: -rain water + root stimulator -rain water + amino acid + enzymes + Calmag +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Roommates: week 7/8 (picture) -Big Foot 35cm high, long side branches, topping + LST ok 👌🏼 -Chronic Thunder + Dinachem: 25cm high, solid plant. Cut the low branches, topping and LST 💪🏼 -Hindu Kush 30cm high vigorous and healthy✊🏼 -Bubble Gum 25cm always weird but alive and robust🤞🏼

Blueberry cookies week 9 done, 10 days flowering. Vigorous, healthy with thick stems: plant look good to initiate the flowering process. Roommates are all ok

Blueberry cookies week 10, 3 weeks flowering. Easy week, at this stage there nothing to do; conditions are stable in the grow tent. Lights on 19h / off 7h: temperature optimum, more ventilation for smell. Defoliation can wait. It’s better like this cause I’m busy: starting the outdoor session and focus on the germination stage. Just 2 watering 50cl during the week: -rain water + (bio heaven / Calmag / Cannazym) -rain water + ( Terra Flores / Cannazym ) The plant is healthy, strong with a deep green color, even if I don’t like this sort of structure after the topping: the canopy isn’t well defined: must be more serious with LST or doing the topping later. The form of the Dinachem or the Bubble Gum is better with a later topping. Roommates: All the plants are healthy, almost the same size, at approximately the same flowering stage. Big Foot take a big place in the room: large with lot of blooming sites 🏆 Bubble Gum: after a weird growth: it became a monster bush…I was confident about this strain 🤘🏼 Dinachem perfect pretty solid plant ✊🏼 Hindu Kush not bad, good stretch 👍🏼 Chronic Thunder pretty medium plant, normal 👍🏼

Week 10 ok, 3 weeks flowering for Blueberry Cookies Everything look on time, pretty well advanced for 4 weeks. Lot of pistils growing and flowers are enlarging and producing resin. The plant is keeping a deep green color, a little bit lighter but no signs of nutrients deficiency or excess. I haven’t problem of yellow leaves since I add regularly Calmag. I use more nutrients than the last session. The first day of the week I cut some low branches to maximize the growth of the top flowers. I’m not defoliate for now, I keep the solar panels. The temperature around the grow tent is perfect, no humidity. More ventilation for heat inside and smell outside; the carbon filter works really good. Watering 70cl every 48h: - Cannazym + Terra Flores + PK 13/14 + Calmag + Rain water - Silic Boost + Rain water - Cannazym + Terra Flores + PK13/14 + Calmag + Rain water The Roommates: - Big Foot: the most advanced, buds start to be thick 🤩 - Bubble Gum: impressive flowering start with plenty of long pistils 😁 - Dinachem: solid and bushy, pretty flowers 🇪🇸😎 - Chronic Thunder: not so bad….🤨 - Hindu Kush: correct plant …🤓

Week 13, flowering since 6 weeks. I passed the week 12: I wasn’t synchronized with my posts causing a lag between days and weeks. However the Blueberry Cookies is quasi ready for flushing, we approach the end of a fast flowering process. The plant is solid, healthy and don’t need really attention, just watering and fertilizing with a Canna cocktail every 2 days. Flowers are resinous and dense, with a sort of fractal structure but it’s not producing big talll mutant bud….a correct flowering with a subtle aroma. This plant will be harvest in 2 weeks Roommates: -Big Foot: the Queen of the session; big meaty buds for this mysterious cross. ⭐️ just need maturation -Hindu Kush: flowering in progress 👍 -bubble gum : incredible come back with a powerful flowering cycle✊ -Dinachem: very different than the plant I grew outdoor 2 years ago but it’s a pretty vigorous bushy plant 💪 -Chronic Thunder: the smallest plant in the room but with resinous and smelly flowers 😐

Week 14, 42 days flowering. Blueberry cookies is going to the maturation level. Very frosty flowers, dense and stinky. Pistils are turning brown No yellow leaves or deficiency signs. It’s a fast flowering cycle for this indica. After a last watering with organic nutrients(light): I start the flushing for 10:or 15 days. The Roommates: -Hindu Kush: correct flowering, need more time. Flowers are growing good 👍🏼 -Dinachem: very short plant but interesting flowering: long and thick bud 😋 -Chronic Thunder: small flowers but dense and resinous 😐 -Bubble Gum: flowers are still enlarging with a great aroma 😃 -Big Foot: big bud explosion, great potential….😍

Week 15, around 50 days flowering. The Cookies is maturing, flushing since a few days. I changed the MarsHydro TS 1000 for the Niello 300 (red spectrum) during the last 2 weeks. The Blueberry Cookies turned to a dark purple, petroleum color. flowers are covered by resin, thick, dense and smelly. This is the final lap, harvest approach. In 12 days it’s Full moon + waning moon: it can be a favorable period for the Final Cut. The flushing will be ok; I just need to reduce watering at the end and let the plant 48 or 60 hours in a dark ventilated room. Roommates: Different degrees of maturation between the plants. Good flowering for every plants. Some of those are reveling there potential during this last days. -Big Foot is ending the flowering cycle: buds are big and pretty heavy, probably one of the best plant i grew indoor ☝️ -Bubble Gum need more time but this smelly strain is giving some dense flowers 😃 -Dinachem: vigorous flowering along the main stems with a incredible flower density💪🏼 -Hindu Kush: flowers are enlarging, producing and intense aroma: easy and interesting strain.👌 -Chronic Thunder: beautiful finish for this super sticky indica ✊

Good session, short and efficient. The strain choice was pertinent: only Indica dominant with short flowering cycle. The result is relative equally sized plants after topping and few training. Good and efficient flowering. To get a better yield; may be I need a more powerful light: 200/250W could be more adapted to my grow tent (60x90cm). Easy growing with mild temperatures, just insects problems causing no really damage. I added more nutrients this time and get bigger buds. One of the plant (Dinachem) developed a few little male flowers (Banana shape) inside 1 or 2 buds. 2 years ago; I grew outdoor one beautiful dinachem plant: a seed coming from the same pack and obtained five pretty mature seeds. We have probably a common hermaphrodite anomaly .I removed the little male flowers and tried to pollinate one flower on each plant in the room. Finally I get a few seeds inside plants.

Good result for the Big Foot. This strain is very satisfying to grow; that was one of my favorite during an outdoor session last year. Indoor the plant was smaller but with bigger flowers. The historic of the growing process is the same as the Blueberry Cookies.

As outdoor, Dinachem was easy to grow; resistant and vigorous, the plant show a big potential during the flowering stage. The topping is essential to keep a medium size and concentrate the energy in flowers. Buds are growing quickly and developing intense aromas. 10 weeks flowering is enough to obtain sticky and dense flowers Like 2 years ago, this phenotype produced some seeds. The signs of hermaphroditism appeared during the full flowering: I removed 2 male flowers with a pair of tweezers. I crushed one with fingers and touched one flowers on each plant in the room to finally obtain 2 or 3 seeds on the different plants. I don’t know the potential of this seeds; I will try one of them in a next session. If the seeds are viable, we can have interesting cross : Dinachem x Blueberry cookies - Dinachem x big foot - Dinachem x Chronic Thunder - Dinachem x Bubble Gum - Dinachem x Hindu Kush 😋

I was doubtful about this company after a few bad experiences with some seeds. But I saw lot of growers having beautiful results, may be I did mistakes or be unlucky. This time I started to be reconciled with dutch seeds company. This Chronic Thunder was a good surprise: easy to grow, the plant produces, after a short flowering cycle ( 8 weeks max), pretty dense and frosty flowers. This was the smallest plant of the session but the yield is correct especially for the high quality of the product. May be a shorter vegetative cycle is recommended for this strain.

Hindu Kush has been choosing for the short flowering cycle and for the myth of Indica. Old and basic strain: an invitation to dream and travel. A little bit despite by the general growth potential of this phenotype. May be the topping wasn’t a good option for this Afghan race. However this phenotype wasn’t the master piece of the room but the flowering revealed the subtle aromatic power, the resin production of the strain. After drying and curing the pretty dense rusty flowers: the aroma are so cool, very spicy and addictive with a strong hash (charas) smell, accent of liquorice or gingerbread. This weed could be one of your best daily partner: pleasant to smoke; an authentic taste. Otherwise the effect is strong, 100% Indica, body relax and brain off😵

I grew Bubble Gum 2 years ago (first indoor session). Bad start for this phenotype, growing slowly look mutant but weeks after weeks the plants recover a normal structure: very solid after the topping. Finally we get a few meaty main buds with a powerful and unique fragrance. I will try this strain (may be from other breeders) outdoor next year or in automatic version indoor. After drying and curing, the flowers keep a refreshing aroma. A tasty smoke, deep and long flavor for a positive and stimulating effect.
