I tried a hibrid method, 24 hours soaking, then a day of paper towel, then to the pots... i wanted to start on 420, and the weather looked great. But i lost 2 seedlings, one i killed by mistake, RQS Blue cheese, and Tropicana Cookies payed the price of my confidence on the weather forecast. The following diary is about the survivors.
The Gorilla Cookies was a late bloomer, but they are all happy and growing, i am at day 10 from the beginning of the germination, so i will call this week 2, day 1. First feeding with a couple drops of fish mix.
After a little cold early spring, now they are all really happy, i moved my greenhouse to a place where they get the sun as early as posible, and get some shade in the afternoon. It seems to work...🤞
Weather is not too bad, i mean, nothing under 10 C°, but rarely more than 20... i hope they will grow enough before they start flowering, this is day 15 out of the ground. Next 2 weeks will be crucial, hope they explode...🤞 started with a little Fish Mix, and Bio-Grow.
Hello LazyLama, nothing to worry about bro! But I would advice to give water more on the outside of the pots instead of so close to the plants.
When you do this the roots will have more acces to oxygen and the roots need to search for the water (cannabis plants love it). While searching for the water they develop a healthier and larger rootsystem.
Enjoy your grow! 😋
Finally, we get some sunshine, the ladies are starting to grow, I hope they double their actual size before they start flowering. Day 22, beginning of the 4th week, I had some troubles with the Sweet ZZ, and the Gorilla Cookies, but they are growing fine now, just a couple days late. Haze Berry, Gorilla Zkittlez, Cookies Gelato and Strawberry Gorilla are the more advanced. Wedding cheesecake is right behind.
Now, the Cali Snow, is starting to curl down, and I don't know why... If somebody have an idea, please tell me on the comments. I topped with some compost
We will finally get over 10 C° at night, that should accelerate growth.
Happy growing to all !
Do you count THIS, as day one of flowering? Cookies Gelato Auto, RQS, day 25... shitty spring. And if this is day one, do i have a chance for an OK yield? (30/40g?) Plant is about 26 cm tall.
They will throw some bud but no big harvest here. Usually when they show their pistols, their turning over. Full on flower will follow with autos in another week or so.
This week we had a little more sun, i fond out the problem, overwatering, i am dealing woth it. Haven't watered for 2 days, but i had rain (not directly on the plants) and the greenhouse is at 60%+ humidity, so the water evaporate. No nutes last water, in case they had too much nitrogen, will feed properly next. Fourth week was the best one yet, hope it keeps getting better... the girls are OK, Gorilla Zkittlez are stealing the show, Cali Snow and Strawberry Cookies are going on a dry spell for another day or two, hope it will fix the curly leaves, at least the new ones are healthy.
Day 35, first day of week 6. Finally, sun is here, and the girls love it. Some have exploded, the Wedding Cheesecake is almost 70cm (was 40cm 3 days ago). Cookies Gelato is in flower, all the other are just showing their first pistils. Overwatering is fixed, Cali Snow and Strawberry Gorilla are building new healthy leaves. My only concern is, are those too long and thin? Since i don't have a light to stay far from, i guess it will be OK. Hope they get thicker now.
Day 42, week 7 day 1. Sun and moderate heat, flowering is just fine. No training yet, i will maybe lst some branches latter, i did some leaf tucking and its all good!
Happy growing !
Day 49, day 1 of week 8, i did some minor defoliation, and added some ventilation, on the hottest hours of the day. They are growing fine, not very fast, but they get in the shade at about 4 or 5 pm, so, i will be patient... happy growing to all of you!
Day 56, week 9, day 1. This week i discovered some spider mites in my plants, so i gave them a rather agressive prunning, specially to the Strawberry Gorilla. I clean the leaves everyday, and they seem to have gone... The smell is getting delicious, and buds are growing, the Cookies Gelato will be done in about 2 weeks, all the others in 4 to 6, specially the Gorilla Zkittlez and Haze Berry, will take 100 days, wich is all the time i have left before vacations. Should be OK, this batch will have low yield, but amazing variety and flavour !
Week 10 day 1, day 63 total. Nice weather, girls growing OK, i am going to give most of them 2 weeks of feeding, then a week of flush, and the Gorilla Zkittlez and Haze Berry will get 5 more weeks... should be OK, it will be a small harvest, but some really tasty weed!
Day 70, buds are getting fat, slowly, Wedding Cheesecake and Strawberry Gorilla are stunned from the heavy defoliation, after spide mites, but i keep waiting. The patience games are on, will wait till day 84 for half of them, and late bloomers will get 100 days. Start flushing in a week. Good grow to all of you!
@LazyLama, pas mal comme technique mais je vais les laisser tranquille 😅 j'ai cultiver une cheese auto l'an dernier et ce sont sûrement ces enfants qui grandissent tout les trois ensemble dans le même pot !
@JamesBarre, essaye de mettre un sac poubelle dessus de 18h à 22h, ça peut déclencher la floraison au bout de deux semaines... c'est comme les passer en 12/12 mais en extérieur.
@LazyLama, oui on va tous attendre un peu 😅 et encore plus pour certains plans, je viens de me rendre compte que les 3 graines issu de la dernière récolte n'était pas vraiment des autofloraissante 😂 elles ont perdu de leur génétique ruderalis et la je sais pas comment ça va se finir vu la taille des plants !!
Ça grandit bien chez toi aussi ! Encore un peu de patience et tu goûteras le fruit de tes efforts 🤤 ta récolte ne sera pas énorme donc si tu lances une seconde session teste le LST sur quelques plants 👍
@JamesBarre, je tente une technique que j'ai vu, de faire flotter les graines 2 jours, et comme elle est photo, je vais bien la torturer en amont, donc ça me laisse un mois pour dégager de la place dans la serre! 😁 (j'ai mis une Stress Killer et 3 durban "sauvages", au cas où...🤣)
Hey boss! I’m growing Cookies Gelato as well! Mine is an Auto!
As for the plant not doing so well, over watering can cause clawing in the leaves and wilting. Look into it, and see if that matches your plant!
@LazyLama, young plants don’t have great root systems when they are young, so th eh can’t take too much water that way early. But they can take water through their leaves. In the future you could just try a foliage mist in the mornings when they are young but only water when the first inch or so of soil is dry :) you may have known that already just throwing it out for consideration though!
@CanuckTaughtMe, thanks for the advise, I have stopped watering for two days now, but the greenhouse is so moist, the soil is still wet... Tomorrow I am having some serious sun, finally I hope they will dry, and fix the issue.
