Holy cr*p, that was unexpected.
I put these seeds directly into some root riot germination cubes and dripped them with diluted root juice.
Left them for 4 days and almost forgot to take a look at them.
After 4 days in the cubes it looked like what you can see on the pictures.
So I declare them also as fast germinating seeds.
Here they are about 4 days old and sitting in 1L pots for some days until I transfer them into their final pots.
Do I use 11L or 15L pots? I don´t know by now.
I gave them a first hint of nutrition by BioCanna.
I really do not know what went wrong.
The stems are a little bit too thin for my taste but they just went straight up towards the sun.
I adjusted the light to 150W and switched of the Far-Red light to prevent them go grow higher.
Week 4 is mostly done and I think they will get tall.
One plant has a little wind damage from the ventilator pointing to the plant.
So I rearranged the position of the ventilator.
End of week 5 and I am happy with the outcome by now.
I am not sure if I want to do any advanced techniques on them or let them just grow with only some lollipopping.
I switched to flower cycle today, let´s see how long do they need to show some flowers.
That week I decided to train two of them just for learning purposes. The other two are free to grow.
All 4 were topped because they would grow way too big for that 180cm tent.
I like the way they look, so bushy.
End of week 7, they all began to flower.
So it is time to change nutrition to flores and boost instead of vega.
The training didn´t affect them in terms of growth speed.
End of week 8 I would say the flowers are now present on every plant.
I stopped the training because I am really not motivated to do more than necessary. Damn depression.
This week I prepared the plants for a ScroG to get an even canopy.
The two bigger plants were trained heavily to fit under the net. Flowers are now everywhere, so I removed all lower flowers that wonßt get enough light.
There is always one plant that grows slower than the others. Time to put er on a socker to match the height of the other girls.
They are doing pretty well so far, nice smell and beautiful buds.
Another week is gone, waiting for harvest. No signs showing the end of the flower.
I stopped nutrition except for Biocanna Bio Boost. Also switched lightning to 10 hours a day and added UV light.
It´s harvest time soon. These are the last days before cutting them down. So that week they will get water only.
Flowers are dense and sticky. The smell is actually okay, not too powerful and overwhelming.
Nice orange-citric taste with hints of sweet cream. For a 50/50 hybride this smoke was on the euphoric side at the beginning and slowly switching to a indica stoned relaxation. Well done.
Actually one of my favourites so far.
Can´t wait to smoke it after 6 more weeks of curing.
The harvest was intense and sweaty because it was very hot these harvest days.
Trimmed wet with a manual tumbler and dried slowly over 8 days in a dark environment, reducing the RH from 75 to 62 slowly.
After that the buds went into glasses with some Boveda 62% for further curing.
Buds coming along nicely, they sure do kick off early! Dont mean to be rude but i would do some more research on scrogging as your not getting the benefits you could be getting. you want to start training your plants through the net in veg. I would set the net around a foot off the top of your pots & as the plants grow through the net a few inches start bending them over & train them to grow horizontally through or across the net to create a flat , even canopy. Now all the potential bud .site's will all receive even amounts of light & air, even the bottom popcorn / larf small & loose buds wlll now all grow into nice big dense colas the same as the crown buds, this can increase yiields by around 40%. SCROG= screen of green. plant heighjt should remain the same, its only the colas that grow up! If you can you want to try to fill your tent from wall to wall with that flat even canopy. Ideally having no holes in the canopy for light to get through, you want to look underneath the canopy & see shadows/ darker area because light isnt getting through. when done properly yields are absolutey mind blowing.
@HIAZ_urbanbudfarmer,
I guess you are right. This is not a professional ScroG.
I mainly did this to help spreading the buds over the area for better light penetration. I don´t like it when all buds sits dense to another.
@Fast_Buds, you can have any photo completly unedited or edited in Fuji raw format if you like. Fell free to use them, i can provide you the pics via "weshare" or through google drive.
Looking good, overall you have a nice even canopy. Spreading branches out like that certainly will help to get more light to lower buds. That's 1 of the things I love about growing, you don't necessarily have to follow any rule book (except maybe your climate conditions). I hope I didn't come across rude or aragant in my recent comments, only wish you the best 👍 so many different grow styles & training techniques. I LOVE IT! & If something is working well for you, then there's nothing wrong with that! I think a big part of growing is trial & error, we learn from mistakes make. I'm still pretty new to growing myself. 1 thing I have been trying to do lately is try new things to get more experience & better myself as a grower. I have learnt so much in theory with all the information iv'e read, so now I'm trying to put some of that into practice. Peace & Love my friend 👍
