Raizen Now my previous stock of seeds is finished, time to start the second one. Got it since november, same storage mode as before : seeds kept in their package, stored in a box, went in the tiny fridge.
So here we go for this first Fastbuds.
Not sure yet about it but will try some more on the ladies this time, cutting some fan leaves and going back to the lst clips, maybe on both or on one ore even one method each.
This time only going 2 seeds at the time, i think 3 at once was still a little fight for the room, 4 is possible but they are a little short in the tent. 3 was better, but still had to turn the pots each check leaves on one plant covering the buds of her sisters and so on. Also want to see the yield of it, because in the end 3 vs 4 got almost the same. If with 2 the yield is enough to hold stock, it will be my "cruise" cycle.

OMG they are indeed growing quick already. Reading on their growth on other diairies and seeing them growing is even this different. 2 days since they popped out and one was already starting to stretch yesterday. Did all the cleaning and started to put the tent back to work, they won't be going through the small lights part. This morning the second one started to stretch a little, her sister did too much already. So potting session done. Lights ready. Ambient temp is low, turned on the heater, but ordered another small one to maintain temp only (17ยฐ without heating) up to 20ยฐ-22ยฐ, though not sure it will be enough, but otherwise the bill is going to go kaboom again.

Finally started on soft lst. Cheech will be the subject, so bended softly (maybe a little too softly) and tied a rope to maintain it this way. Made sure most of the bud sites take light, but it will need a little more bending tomorrow.
As for Chong didn't do any real bending, lst speaking, but still bended the fan leaves beneath the bud sites amap. Now they get better light, and it kind of show winch leaves could be cut if further choice of a little defoliation.
Will see how both do until sunday before going further on.

One day late for the update. They are doing better then i thought yesterday, today had time to take them out. Checked on Cheech, lst is badly done, not really my trick i think, and also need more practicing. Still find it hard to imagine the plant in it's ending so a bit doubtful on how and mostly where to apply the ropes, will need more tries. As for Chong, placed 2 more lst clips, this time instead of bending them foward so they sneak under the fan leaves, tried putting the clips horizontaly, making them turn left beneath the fan leaves to reach light. I think this might be a better usage as the budsites straightly reach light and anyways they are going to seek up for it, thus i think it will be growing between the fan leaves.
Also Chong is entering pre-flower already, so changed the nutes to Bio-grow, Bio-bloom and Top-max, and kept Cheech on Acti-vera and Bio-grow.

Next step for defoliation on Chong, two more leaves cut off, still only the fan leaves. It gives some light more deep. Didn't touch the budsites small fan leaves, only the one growing straight from the main cola.
Kind of confused on what to do with Cheech. Maybe i should have bent it earlier to make it easier to keep on. Also the fan leaves are growing great so i'm starting to consider cutting a few as well.

Decided to free Cheech, as the bending was incorrectly made obviously. Definitely need to learnt and practice more. So switched on defoliation only.

Cheech & Chong are growing at their own Pacรฉ, Cheech been a little late. I think i went to hard on defoliation for Chong at the beginning or too high, bud sites look small.. Cheech on the other side looks much more well in the growth, as Chong looks a little naked with small bud sites, though i've been taking off only the main cola fan leaves. Today water only, but thinking of going nutes all time unless they show nutes burn.

Chong is stretching nicely, had to move the lights up a little to keep them at least 50cm from the canopy. Also did some defoliation on Cheech, who looks more bushy, the bud sites fan leaves growing large. Chong has smaller bud sites fan leaves which inguess confirms last entry, either defoliation was 1 week too soon or i did cut too high at the beginning.

Keeping light at 50 cm, Chong doesn't seem to like it closer, but for now it makes it a little high for Cheech. Will try to keep on only nutes for them from now but if any sign of burn appears, will get back to twice a week.

But the week stands in a short summary.
Chong is doing good, trichs stil clear but pistils starting to turn orange. Started the flushing the 19th. Cheech following slowly. Smell is sweet and strong at first then slowly fades as it fills the main room. Some leaves turning yellow so taking them off when seing some.
For the flushing about 1.5L seems enough, but Chong drank all of it in one day.
