Welcome back everybody and a happy 4/20. Beautiful date to start 😁
Still have 11 seeds left from this strain so I'm gonna do a final round and give some others away to friends 😂
4/20 germination started
4/22 tap root visible, transfer to soil plug. Sprinkled a bit Mycorrizha below the seed.
4/24 we have new life 🙏
4/25 already a big stretch, time to transfer
Previous grow was pretty successful and I learned a lot with the new techniques I tried out.
Little bit of budrot in the final week but nothing dramatic.
Major things I'm gonna improve is a bit more nutrients (2/4 of recommendations) and better LST to spread canopy more open. This was the main reason I got budrot.
Also gonna build some kind of shelter so I don't have to worry about rain anymore.
This weekend I'm gonna buy everything I need but I still have many stuff left from last year so it's not gonna be too much.
Also gonna start up another diary because I really wanna grow a purple strain. Still doubting between some options but u will see what I choose soon 😉
Hope u all enjoy this diary
Happy growing 🙏
Hello everybody
Welcome to week 1 🙂
The germination went really well and after 4 days she put her head out.
I left her in a germination box for humidity and to let her roots expand a little bit.
I transferred her on 27 April to the small airpot. Made a little mix of plagron lightmix soil and regular seedlings soil. Also added a little bit extra perlite and mixed Mycorhizza through the soil and just below the tap root when I placed her in the new home. Placed an empty bottle on top for humidity.
After that a small watering with BioCanna roots stimulator. I'm gonna give a lot of Biorhizotonic this grow. Slow build up to avoid any burns though. Last year I actually wasn't that happy with the roots. I expected much more 😄
So far so good. These first weeks aren't that exciting but once she settles in and the roots expand we are off for our journey
See u next week
Happy growing 🙏
Welcome to week 2 everyone 🙂
Not a bad evolution but we have a slight bit of nutrientsburn or ph trouble. The plant keeps growing so i dont think she is too stunted. Let me know what u think. If it becomes worse again i will make a grow question.
I stopped giving nutrients now because the soil has enough
Only the first pair of leaves is a bit damaged now. I was going to cut them anyway. I really didn't give much but autos are really sensitive i think.
Gonna let her do her thing for at least one week now while just giving water.
Nothing too bad but not a perfect start anymore 😄
Happy growing 🙏
Hey everyone
Late update, I was on holiday to Amsterdam 😄
Plant is healthy but is growing a bit slow. Gave some water and a slight bit of nutrients. Weather is not bad but could be better.
This week the transfer to the final pot will happen. I'm still waiting for my RQS Package to arrive so I can put all the extra nutrients in the soil.
Not much else to update but I will add pictures if I transfer her this week.
Happy growing 🙏
Update : transplant to the big airpot on May 20
Hey everyone
A fun week here
Started up the LST Training and im going to keep a much closer eye this time
Last year it was okay but some buds didn't receive enough light and weren't spread out enough. This grow im going to manipulate the hell out of her 😄
The new growth is already breaking trough nicely. Time to bend her down
Also started up some more feeding.
Vita race for extra iron in this stage and the RQS Organic Boost stuff is mixed throughout the soil. Also added Mycorhizza, Rhizobacter and Seaweed and Bat Guano. Mixed extra perlite to make the soil more airy.
Weather is a bit cold. During the day around 18° Celsius, nights are really cold. I take her inside for nighttime now.
Let's hope she likes her new home.
Gonna add more pictures during this week.
Happy growing 🙏
Hello everyone
A fun week again. Plant is showing nice development.
I really try to focus on exposing the future budsites.
Last year I didn't tuck away the fanleaves enough.
This grow I'm tying them all down as much as possible.
I find it hard to place them right so every 2 days I do some adjustments.
The evolution I have right now is exactly the same as last year so I gotta have faith in the next 2 weeks that she will grow big. Previous grow I had about 60% of the possible canopy.
With the right techniques I'm sure I can reach about 80% canopy coverage.
I know I'm not the best LST student but I'm trying 😄
Any advice is welcome
I'm still giving water with a bit of nutrients but I'm gonna add plain 6,5 PH water from now on. Every second watering during the week plain water. A good rain now would also be very welcome 😄
So far so good
Hope everyone is okay
See u next week
Happy growing 🙏
Hello everyone
Welcome to week 6
Flowering has started, the first white pistils are popping up so in the next weeks she will expand and grow bigger 🙂
I will make it one more vegative week
Today I removed all the LST, rearranged it and I adjusted it as good as possible.
In 3 weeks I won't be able to change anything anymore so it has to be correct now.
I did a small defoliation. Removed about 6 or 7 bigger leaves that were blocking budsites and some dead ones on the bottom
I also added a good neem oil spray on the leaves. From now on no more spraying on the future buds.
I will give it in the watering one or two more times.
I gave one watering with nutrients and one watering with plain water. Both times 6,5 PH
This diary is an exact copy of last year so far. I just hope I can spread the canopy more open and use all the room the airpot gives me.
I know it looks small right now but last year she really delivered 😄
See u next week
Happy growing 😉🙏
Hello everyone
Flowering has officially started 😀
We are in the first or second week of the stretch period.
Plant looks healthy green and is responding well on the LST and feeding. A few slight yellow leaves below but i remove them
The LST is so fun to do but i still feel like an amateur. Tomorrow i will adjust her again, i have a few buds below the canopy that need more light. In a few weeks i will have my Shaman plant to learn again 😄
I gave one good watering, all nutrients were 1 or 2 ml on 1L of water.
Slow build up and there's absolutely a lot of food left in the soil too and the roots are now just reaching some parts of that.
So far so good.
Happy growing 🙏
Hello everyone
Welcome to week 9
We have Fantastic weather and perfect nights right now
Always around 25° to 30° Celsius
The Plant really likes the conditions now. Looking healthy and the leafs are praying up to the sky 😀
She drinks more right now. Every 3 days I water in with one liter but I also let her dry out sometimes. The roots need to search for the leftover moist then and that makes them stronger.
Still switching between plain waterings and nutrients water. Always PH 6,5.
I removed all the LST and I re-adjusted it. In 2 weeks I won't be able to change anything anymore so better now
I'm happy with the LST but I still find it hard to do. The main cola is difficult to control and I believe that it's easier if u have a photoperiod plant that can be topped and u can spread out more.
I hope she stretches out for one more week. There is still a lot of room that can be filled up. In 2 weeks she will focus all her powers on the buds so I hope to have a nice canopy by that time.
That's it for now
Gonna add some more pictures later
Happy growing 🙏
Hey everyone
This week went really well.
I didn't check on her everyday but she loves life. Beautiful plant
We had some colder temperatures at night but nothing to worry about too much. Daytime was always nice weather between 20 and 25 Celsius
One or two small rains too so I didn't water in with plain PhD water.
Gonna give feeding now while doing this update.
Next watering will be with neem Oil for final time
I don't think she will grow much bigger anymore. The stretching seems done and she starts to focus on the buds.
I see many of them so I hope they bulk up well in next few weeks 🙂
Still looking healthy and that's the most important.
Happy growing
See u next week 🙏
Hey everyone
Once again a good week here
Nice weather and the plant has a good evolution.
2 feedings this week and a plain watering in between.
We had a small rain but nothing too bad
I only worry about one thing.
The main cola is the only one that is really getting bigger.
The other buds are a bit behind, still pretty small.
Don't know if I did something wrong or that the LST isn't good? They all receive enough light and I turn the plant every 2 days so all angles get some sunlight
Plant still looks healthy so I'm gonna let her do her thing.
Starting next week I will make pictures with the RQS Smarthpone microscope.
First time trying this 😄 it was the last important tool I still needed. Let's hope it works fine
See u next week friends
Happy growing 🙏
Hello everybody
A nice week here
Very good weather and acceptable temperatures. Always around 25° celsius. 2 very small rains but there was more than enough wind so the plant was dry again after 15 minutes.
It really wasn't much but previous grow did have some budrot in final weeks so I'm very cautious
I have bought some stuff to make a shelter. Will do that this week. I have nightshift now for 5 days so i pretty much sleep through the day haha.
Plant looks healthy and the other buds are getting fatter too now. Not that much smell yet and I'm happy with that. No need to attract the neighbours.
I gave one feeding this week and one watering with Neem Oil. I noticed a few smaller bitemarks so i didn't wanna take any risks and fight the bugs. This week my package with ladybugs will arrive too. Gonna let them go hunting on whatever causes those bitemarks 😄
So far so good. More pictures will be updated soon
Happy growing everyone 🙏
Update
Added some ladybug larves.
Hello everyone
A good week here but not that great weather.
The plant spend 4 days inside my garden house with an open door for fresh air
Outside so much rain that I just didn't want to take the risk.
Also a higher humidity in morning so better safe than sorry
She did receive enough light but it's not perfect, I know
Some buds are a bit closer together and that's the only minor thing so far.
Not problematic but I keep a close eye
They are really bulking up now and starting to produce a bigger smell 😄
One feeding this week and one time neem oil watering.
I think I'm gonna give one or two good feedings and then it's flushtime
Last year i harvested in middle of August and I think it's gonna be pretty much the same this year.
Will look more after the the trichomes this year.
So far so good
Fingers crossed for the last 3 weeks (I think 😁)
Happy growing 🙏
Update : made a shelter, not perfect yet but it does the job 😄
Welcome to week 14
A very poor week for weather
While im writing this another shitload of rain is coming trough
I really build the shelter just in time 😄
Thanks @nonick123 for good advice
Created it in the afternoon and in evening it already proved his worth.
Plant was dry during a whole weekend with lots of rain but luckily also a lot of wind. That really lowers the chance on very humid air.
Daytime is around 20° to 23° Celsius
Nights sometimes flirting with 13°
All the buds are really bulking up
Also a very nice smell 😃
I really wished i spread the canopy a bit more open. It's not bad but i didn't use all the space that i had
Gave one good feeding this week and i think i will do a last one tomorrow.
Than we have 2 weeks (Maybe 10 days) of flushing.
No more biorhizotonic for roots.
Only bioboost and bioflowering nutrients are given now. Hope it's a final push for topbuds.
Gonna make some microscope pictures tomorrow
The RQS smartphone microscope didn't really worked well when i first tried so let's give it another shot
I want to harvest at right time.
Other grows i just guessed a bit 😄
Happy growing everyone
See u next week 🙏
I'm just going to close this diary because I had budrot again and I really don't wanna talk about it now haha.
No seriously. This is an awesome strain and last year I had good buds and this year I was on the way to a better harvest untill 13 days of rain and high humidity kicked in.
I kept the plant dry but the weather was absolutely horrible and not one single strain will survive these kind of long periods whitout some loss and this year it was a lot of loss.
I gave the plant away to a friend who saved some buds but not too much.
He even had to throw away buds during the drying process because of mold showing up.
I feel bad for not having any numbers or a smoke report 😔 untill week 12 this was my best grow ever and then I discovered that fucked up budrot and I was so mad I just gave the whole plant away the next day. Didn't even wanna look at it anymore
I'm gonna grow this strain again but not for now. I have other stuff to focus on now but I will be back.
I really wished I could end this grow more positive but u win some u lose some when growing outdoors
Keep growing strong friends
See u soon
