Germinated two seeds in cotton pads watered at pH 6.3 in a plastic bag. 27-30°c over 40-48 hours.
Planted both directly into final pot and both under a homemade humidity dome.
Both will be started indoors and will be moved outside after a week or two.
The week is starting good and slow. One seed was a little slow but she came back with vigor.
I give them 30 ml/day of ph6.3 water. The soil is amended with mycorrhiza and greenhouse feeding nutrients, 1gr/l grow, 2gr/l bloom.
During the night they receive heat and light inside and during the day they get sunlight.
I think I'll put them outside at the end of week 2. But we'll see, long as I have room in the tent, they'll have a spot for the night!
The Gal's a quacking!
My sweet little ducks are getting into it now. The ducksfoot leaves are getting into shape. Really thankful to grow such a beautiful little plant.
I try to go for macro dosing fluids to encourage root stretching. So for example 1 day I give the Gal's 500 ml with bio enhancer and I keep them dry the next day. As to encourage the roots to stretch in search of water and nutrients.
I'm still putting the ducks outside for the day and under the lights for the night. I hope I can veg them out for a week or two more before my other plants need room inside the tent. They're getting a out 24/0
It's been a pretty solid week! The weather is great out here so during the day the ducklings get beautiful full spectrum sun and in the nights they go in the veg tent. This seems to be working like a dream because these girls have really exploded with growth. Hence I started to train them and trim them a little. They seem to be reacting very well to the low stress training and bounce back within minutes each time I train them.
For nutrients I gave them some molasses blend and some calmag, to keep the biosphere going. Seems these girls do very well on the bio greenhouse feeding nutrients. Only thing is, one duckling has a little deficiency.... I'm asking the growers for help!
Furthermore I hope this growth continues for a little while, I just love watching these ducks fatten up
I reviewed your cultivation diary and noticed that you gave both growth and bloom nutrients at the same time. It's a common mistake to overfeed plants when we notice nutrient deficiencies, thinking that they will benefit from more nutrients. However, this can cause issues with the roots and they stop absorbing nutrients properly. In this case, I recommend performing a root flush to remove the excess build-up and restore a healthy nutrient uptake. If left unaddressed, your plants may not survive. Best of luck to you, and I hope you're able to successfully resolve the nutrient issue and revive your plants!
Quack quack quack, the ducks are in effect!
They have had a beautiful week of growth and the first pistola's are forming. The lower plant has had quite a stretch while the upper plant stays quite squatty. I've trained the lower plant a little more rigoureus so it's no wonde really, but it can also be that the lower plant had a little more soil in the pot. I simply don't know for sure.
What I do know for sure is that these baby's are becoming great ducks! I took the advice from the grow question, flushed the soil and gave them some time to recover. For the first watering I gave them BioEnhancer with a mycorrhiza blend to feed the soil and roots. Still got a couple little burnt tips from the nutrients but other then that, they are doing great.
Still doing the nights in the tent and the days outside. The day of the photos, we had some storm so I decided to keep the ducks inside. As long as the new family is still in their first pot, we'll keep doing this. But I don't think that'll be more then a week :D
We'll keep on quacking!
Flowering is really started!
They are doing good, the nute burn kinda evened out. Smell starts to come in, really beautiful piney smell.
Been a slow week, not much to say :)
The ducks are really getting into their flowering!
I think the stretch is getting to an end and I hope they each get to about the same height. That would be lovely!
We had some shitty weather but the girls just keep on happy quacking!
The ducks a fattnin'! As it looks the stretch is over and the ducklings start to fatten up. The bud structure of the upper plant is more squatty while.the lower plant is more airie, which is both fine! They are still very beautifully camouflaged, from the street you wouldn't recognize it as cannabis, very cool.
The nute burn evens out, might add some bloom nutrients just to give em that extra little.something during flower. But, that'll be a low dose!
Cheers everyone!
The ducks a smellin'! With a light breeze a fresh piney cannabis scent is present next to the plant. A few meters away further and it's unrecognisable, even the smell of this plant is very well camouflaged.
Sometimes I forget to turn the plants, so now one side is getting bigger then the other. But bigger they're both getting! The extra nutrients are being used very well and the flowers are packing on volume, weight and resin. As you can see on the photo's, thrichome production is well on it's way and there are still plenty of new pistons forming.
This has been a very thankful grow so far.
These ducks won't stop!
Really loving the way the buds are forming. They are dense but not too dense and completely COVERED in trichomes. The smell is really kicking up but the neighbours haven't smelled a thing... The scent lingers for about meter around the plant but it doesn't really reach that much further.
They really loved the extra dose of bio-flower from greenhouse feeding. Looks like bud/trichome production really got going!
From the street it is still beautifully camouflaged, the only real giveaway are the buds🌞
These ducks are almost there, the upper plant has a little more red hairs and looks to be a bit closer to harvest. I'll probably chop the short one a bit earlier and let the tall girl go a week or two longer. The trichomes are nice and cloudy, no amber's yet. I am going for a bit more clear/cloudy trichomes so allmost there...
Next update could be a harvest :)
Cheers!
I think I missed a week somewhere... Well, it is what is is🤷 the ducks are still doing pretty damn great!
The hairs are beginning te turn orange but the trichomes are still all white and milky, so I'm waiting it out a little longer before chopping the first one down.
The shorter, stockier plant will probably finish about a week earlier. I might chop that badgirl down next week!
So far, so good! Allmost at the finish line😁
It's been a good week!
The first duck has had the chop and is currently drying. The second, larger duck still has a week or two to go, so I'll let her do her thing outside.
I opted for a wet trim since my drying space is limited, I'll post photos of the drying space next week.
Cheers!
So the first plant dried for 9 days at 60-80% Rh at about 19-21°C and went into the curing jars today. The dried weight of the flower is 26-27 grams, which pleases me immensely.
The next duck will be cut down somewhere this week or the next. It is still producing new flowers so I am giving it a bit more time. I expect the bigger plant will harvest 10-15 grams more. But, we'll see!
The second plant is harvested and curing right now. 35 grams of good buds and 5 grams of infected bugs that will go into oil.
The high is clear headed but relaxing, really nice hybrid. Tastes is fresh and piney with a hint of mint. Really beautiful representation of what Dutch outdoor weed is in my book. Takes me back!
Growing the ducks was an absolute pleasure all the way, until the big infestation. But that's of no fault of the plant.
Would really recommend this to beginning outdoor growers that want a little plant on the balcony or something.
Said most in the first comment, smoke report will follow.
Again, really easy to grow and train. Highly recommended!
The smell was pretty loud though, only with the shorter pheno, but the neighbours didn't really mind.
@GermanGrow182, thankyou! Will do :)
The last plant just got the chop, I'll be updating the harvest one of these days so hang on to See the total weight 😍
C est tellement cool de pouvoir fumer ce qu'on fait pousser sois même, on l a vu grandir, on l a soigné, récolté, taillé, curer... Bref beaucoup de boulot. Gratifiant surtout quand elle est bonne 👍👏☮️
