9/8/18 Dropped the seed into water per CKS instructions and a phone call to them. In water for 20 hours (5 more than recommended by the person at CKS. He also insisted that the water used in germination be natural spring water.After 20 hours the seed and water was into a paper towel and on a plate uncovered.
9/11/18 Tap root showing 1/4 inch. 3 gal pot of soil wetted, drained and fluffed. Sprouted seed into hole and covered with soil and plastic wrap.
9/12/18 Seedling was beginning to push up soil at 3:00 pm. By 8:00 pm the plant had broke ground and was standing upright.
9/13/18 Official Day 1. First true leaves appeared over night already.
9/14/18 Shes doing great so far. good growth, normal leaf formation and no sign of deficiency...leaves might be a bit pale. The pot is still pretty heavy but the soil around the plant is starting to dry out. Maybe I will give a cup of water with mild nutes FF...1 Tbsp BB, 1/2 t GB, 1/4 t BDWM, 2 ml cal-mag and 2 ml Rhino around the perimeter of the plant. Water will be Ph'd to 6.6.
9/16/18 Fed her the above nutes except ph'd to 6.5. 300 ml around the plant. Only watered the small amount because the pot is still heavy.
9/17/18 She looks like she took the initial feeding well. I will probably increase the Mackerel next time nutes are needed. I am trying to prevent the nute issue her sister is currently recovering from. So far I am loving the Happy Frog soil now that I know it isn't jam packed with nutes like Ocean's Forest.
9/20/18. Fed again, twice in a row. About 1 liter given around plant. after NL #1 having issues about a week in I figured a light dose wouldn't hurt. I'm liking Happy Frog so far. Its not hot at all and its nice to be working on feeding skills. The next watering will be plain ph'd with only cal-mag and Rhino.
9/26/18. Nothing done to the plant since the 20th. Her pot is still heavy so I'm letting it dry and then turning to a lighter water more frequently, It has been working great for the BI and a clone. There is a strange coloration on a few leaves. Not burn or anything but looks like a genetic thing.
Can anyone tell me what the discoloration on the large leaf in the two o'clock position in the last picture is? Is it indicative of some nutrient issue or is it simply a genetic defect? It doesn't seem to be hindering the growth of the plant. Curious and wanting to learn.
Hello ! It's genetic , I saw that in other diaries and generally you've got some leaves with "clear" parts but it does not affect the grow or anything. Hope it will help you 😁👍
9/28/18 Start of week 3. I was waiting for her to get a bit taller before tying her down. Ideally I would have liked to have her top be at the lip of the pot when bent. Her stalk is getting thicker and tougher by the day and if I didn't do it today it probably wasn't going to happen.
10/3/18 Pot was finally light so I watered her with the full regimen above very slowly allowing pause to have the water also draw O2 to the roots. Fully watered at 2 liters
10/4/18 Shes still in veg and I tied her down a bit more. A lot of reach and big growth since LST'ing
No sign of deficiencies and no burning.
10/5/18 Had to actually move the anchors out and add two more to smaller branches which are growing rapidly.
10/8/18 First signs of preflower. A few branches need to be tied down once I make more anchors. Were running out of wire hangers. Decided to mess with the feeding today. Both autos were fed the same and each about 2 liters, very slowly and in stages watching the water getting sucked down into the soil. I didn't give one more veg feed but added Tiger Bloom and Open Sesame and dropped out Wholly Mackerel. Its a little different than the feeding schedule however I figured I know shes going to flower so I might as well switch to the bloom nutes and add the OS to get her moving.
She is actually shrinking...LOL. Tying her down made her drop in height but the emergence of budsites is awesome. Im loving this plant. shes been perfect so far.
10/12/18 Fed her again, I know I wasn't supposed to but wanted to get the bloom solubles in. No burn but she is droopy. Defiantely only water ph'd next.
10/17/18 Pot was fairly dry. Watered about 1 liter slowly plain ph'd to 6.5. Shes looking great. Only a few more weeks till harvest..
10/20/18 She is starting to go into strong flower now. Very little to no smell which makes me wonder. Pot is getting light and I will feed her light flower nutes and drop out the N for the most part.
10/22/18 Fed her one half gallon of bloom nutes. Actually forgot the cal mag and rhino but it wont matter as all the plants normally get these supplements.
10/23/18 Checked on her post feeding and Holy Cow!!! A huge jump from yesterday to today and she definitely seems to have kicked it up several notches. The bloom nute ratio seems to be good, probably can increase a bit but probably not necessary. Some yellowing of older fan leaves but no deficiency seen on newer leaves or growth.
10/25/18 Watered with plain PH'd water approx. 1/2 gallon.
10/27/18 Watered with 2/3 liter of leftover 10/22 feeding nutes. For anyone curious I do believe Open Sesame and Beastie Bloomz does work however in small proportions. So far no burns. The older fan leaves are starting to brown . The pistils are still white and appearing strongly Absolutely no odor at all. I cant wait to see the final product. I'm very happy with this girl.
11/1/18. Watered 2 l with ph’d Water and 1 ml each of cal mag and Rhino
11/2/18. Need to update when I last fed, I will check my notes I gave the last dose of Beastie Bloomz and next feed will be Cha Ching.
The solid portion of the main bud is a solid 6 inches.
11/10/18. Shes finishing really strong. Not sure if the Cha Ching doesn’t I’d much much but the Beastie Bloomz definitely helped.
I think my feeding schedule was off by a week or two because I’m unfamiliar with autos. Next run I will begin the soluables at least a week earlier to allow for two feedings of each along with a flush. Right now im not sure if i will have enough time before finish. It’s my only concern.
11/12/18. Watered fully to runoff. Plain water at 6.5
11/13/18. She is finishing very nicely. Decent frost, tri’s are still milky with only a few beginning to turn amber.
I ditched the cha Ching. IT didn’t do much and I think it burned the leaves....and that was a 1/8 teaspoon / gallon so users be cautious. I do feel the Beastie Bloomz did help.
11/17/18 Tricomes are turning from clear to milky. Continuing to flush with plain water PH'd to 6.6. Watering with 1/2 until runoff.
At this point I am just observing color change in tricomes until 30% amber.
11/21/18 Week 10 day 7. Watered again with 3/4 gallon plain water at 6.6.
11/23/18 Week 11 day 2. Another watering with plain PH'd water at 6.6. 1/2 gallon.
11/24/18 Took one lower stem which all trichomes were white for a test. Put it in small cardboard box rigged for drying and put in tent to dry.
11/25/18 Week 11 day 4. Pot was light and the leaves are turning. trichome's are all milky with intermittent amber. The plant can definitely be harvested at any time however more of a couch lock is preferred here so I'm waiting a bit longer.
Watered with 1/2 gallon plain water PH'd at 6.6.
11/27/18 The sample is almost fully dry for cure. probably another day or to would be ideal however I could not wait to taste a sample of the fruits of my labor of love.
Two normal hits and I was VERY buzzed but no narcotic effect. One more hit and I was toasted. The smple was understandably a bit wet still but not very harsh given the dampness and no cure. This is gonna be great stuff
