Germination
2 years ago
Launching this Heirloom Grow the Week of Aug 20th… 3 seeds from each Strain will be Float Germinated, with the healthiest Candidate from each strain eventually getting grown. My low level ceiling in the basement is going to present some challenges on its own, but crop mgmt is part of this grow. Small and regular up-pots, all while keeping it small. I’ll be taking a page from DeFharo’s book, and will be running the Lights in Veg / Flower, from a very close range. Definitely keeping these Famous lanky nodes “tight” - St. Vincent x LambsBread - Oaxacan - Congolese - HangGaron Squirrel Tail (thai stik) **still (wanting) considering; - BHADRA, india - PUNTO ROJO x RED SNAKE = (punto rojo 🇨🇴 x Oaxaca 🇲🇽) I’ll be working with a New Mars Hydro Tent; 4x4’ and the height will have been reduced by 3 to 4” due to my basement height. The Phlizon 650w light will be hung from Studs, not the Tent, so we can max the available lite height. Lots of little details getting rolled over. And I’m prepping some Soil this week. Bringing it to life ! Its happening soon Aug 19th Soil has been mixed, moistened and is just Getting familiar with itself… ProMix HP Worm Castings Perlite Sand Kelp Meal Basalt Rock Dust Dolomitic Lime Bone Meal Alfalfa Meal DynoMyco 25% recommended 4-4-4 veg fert August 23rd - seeds got Wet today - Sativa Landrace Bhadra has been added to the line-up, extending the Global approach of this Grow to include India - these are not old seeds; There are no agents in the water, no sand-paper in the film canister. Hoping to float these till the tail’s are an inch long. -Soil is getting familiar with itself… pieces come together within the week - freshly Germinated Seedlings will see 24hr lite in the 32” tent for a week, then be transferred to their Home tent for Week 1, under the Phlizon 26th A.m., the squirrel Tails threw out a pair of Tails overnite; 60 hrs-in 27th - Quite a few planted this morning - tent has heat and growing RH% 28th - a congo was planted (relief) and the other 2 will be this evening - Caribbean Dream was also planted 3 out of 3 as well - squirrel tail and 2 congo get planted tonight. Final count-down for floating - 2 Oaxacan have broken ground. A Carib Dream has broken ground, Bhadra has popped and I removed the membrane from each Seedling. Shells slid off - watered and humid domes replaced for next 8 hours then they’re on their own - awesome start - 4 strains represented above Ground after 24 hours in Soil 29th - more seeds popping and the last 3 stragglers were planted this morning, to keep with the Lets check them all approach - Sept 3rd is the Last day of Germination - soil cache was moistened and mixed… all looks good 30th -establishing conditions in the tent. Light has been getting lower and lower all week. 23cm off the plant tops. 27.5c and going a bit higher. Shooting for 60% RH

Still in Germination till Sept 4th, but I am establishing some conditions in the Tent and wanted to make note of them. - lowering the MARSHYDRO TS-1000 light closer to remove the need to stretch to the light - establishing a water ring around each plant for the roots - fan is blowing gently between plants and Light - 22 hour lite-sched at this point - consolidated the plants in a pan, that allowed them to fit directly UNDER THE LIGHT. Sept 2 - just beaming because Congo has broken-ground, making it all 15 out of 15 seeds germinating Sept 4th - first plants broke the surface a week ago last nite, and today starts the first week of Veg ! - got the plants Out of the metal bin so that there is more Airflow through and between bags - foliar application tomorrow - MarsHydro being slowly increased in value intensity: ppfd 260 this a.m. - Vivosun is performing super, gently removing the heat later, under the Lite 5th - Foliar application of Fulvic Acid was a success. Misted at lites-off - ppfd @350 from ts1000 8th - ppfd is at 450 and the lite is 12 cm above canopy - seems ea plant is getting +125ml per day 10th - last day week 1 of Veg - diotomaceous earth added to the surfaces to help keep the Fungus Gnats out

Sept 25th - the lite has stayed Lit all day, so that it can be shutdown tonight at 7pm, and stay Off for 48 hours. This will allow Lites-on cycle to be at 7pm - 7am - plants were fed a Worm Casting Tea last nite, and a few Males have been highlighted, but all is great ahead of lites out, tonight - soil to be Amended on Wed pm. 25%veg75%bloomFert + standard line-up. - NPK Bloom Microbe / Enzyme tea+molasses (unsulphured organic) will be ready when they are ready. * Oaxacan A, the male has found a home 27th - tonight the Lites come on in a 12/12 cycle - plants to be Fed this evening - Bloom nutes introduced * Alright… transition to Flower. 48 hrs of dark, at the end of 3 weeks of Veg. And when the lite came on, all new growth ie: bud sites, have a Yellow colour to it. The plants look strong and healthy but have this issue. The plants were fed a planned meal, 1 hour after lites on. Bloom microbes, enzymes and molasses. Here is how it looked at Lites-on. Pics above. The yellow on the new growth will disappear in a day or so, lite deprivation is the cause. - plants were fed from below, a mix of Bloom Microbes, Enzymes and Molasses 29th - fed Fish Hydrolysate - sex check tomorrow pm 30th Brewing the next Microbe Dinner.

Oct 2nd - week 2 of Flower - Ladies on-board, Oaxacan A has proven to be Female, and we get a legendary Skinny-bladed Mexican legend to work with. Just beaming 😁 - Up-Pot happening when able, as Females get Selected - a Tall and Short Bhadra female have been Selected, vs just 1… gonna roll with-it. Tall Female is 25” already. She will be perfect for the Rack Oct 3rd - the new MarsHydro tent has been a spectacular addition to this Heirloom Grow. Having a Friend host the grow, in his garage, sees the 80” height used to full advantage. Goal is to fill this Tent. Only the btm 31” are being used right now, thats gonna change soon Oct 6th - being fed from Below tonight/tomorrow. Probe will say - sex-checks for sure. Time to thin the Herd. Bhadra keeps 2, A tall and short pheno. Squirrel Tail has yet to reveal. - Till tonight - Plants have been moved to an 11 hours of lite and 13 hours of dark schedule; 11/13 8th - last day of week 2 in Flower (week 5 total) In the early morning hours, I have fed the Ladies the Bloom Microbe, Enzyme & Molasses mix for dinner. A three day break from moisture led to a Minor Wilt, but the sure do recover quick. 30 minute soak - more females were discovered and the Tent will be thinned in the next couple days by ~ 4 plants. Time to Up-Pot and Bend some branches !!

Oct 9th - HST happening very soon for the plants - dinner tonight, from below, menu above - only 1 Male identified from the 15 seeds, pretty lucky - selections made, 7 plants involved. Up-potting the keepers, and down-sizing to take place in the next couple days. 2 Oaxacans made the cut, as did 2 of the Squirrel Tail. 5 strains 7 styles 11th - 4 of 7 plants were up-potted and trained last nite 12th - plants have recovered amazingly well. 13th - found the Oaxacan and Congo, to have pushed Gonads all nite, probably stress related, but they were 1000% makes tonight. No mistaking them. Gone. Returning a Congo to the Tent on Tuesday. Thankfully they were placed amongst friends

Nov 14th 15th - Oaxacan up-potted to a 3 gallon square bag (like the others - plants removed from Tent, Soil-covered and then thoroughly sprayed with Hypochlorous Acid at a low strength ~ 150-200ppm. This application is to help get rid of any Lingering WPM (white powdery mildew) from earlier in the week - Tent, Light, Fans, Heater etc have ALL been cleaned and wiped with IPA - all pots were topped up with loaded soil, and now that the spider mites are gone, we are feeding Water to the plants this week, from above. Ea plant was “slowly” fed a Gallon+, until there was some run-off. Its a Fresh start 18th - defoliation of Squirrel Tail tops. After the wpm lolly-pop clean-up… she got a little Extra Clean-up, largely due to such a tightly knit Colas, full of tiny Leaves - Fed some Water in a burst of Thirst. Establishing 1-Litre as our starting volume, of a slow-feed from above. Moisture meter will “Dictate” when the plants btm 3rd, gets watered from above 19th - checkin-in w/plants & co-grower tonight - 3 plants fed a Litre of water; slowly, from above 20th - last day of week 8 in flower

Nov 21st - week 9 of Flower starts today! - plants are climbing some Bamboo stakes where needed. We have a really nice and even Canopy taking place. A couple plants have Heels-on to get closer to the light - ppdf gets measured tonight, as the Phlizon 650W Lite is working away at 50% - Oaxacan was up-potted to a 3 gal pot from the 2 gal bag, last week * I’m using a spectacular MarsHydro Tent, their 4’x4’x80”, and my 32” tent had been running a MarsHydro TS-1000 ever since I Moved to LED. They have been a great supplier with zero issues. Here’s a Link to their black friday Sale https://marshydroled.ca/?utm_source=marsus 23rd - tonight the kids get a full going-over; WPM search, definite moisture needs, maybe even some Mug-Shots. Its time! - now that we are feeding from the Top again, soil amendments WILL be added on a 3-week routine once again. This week is the plan 24th - amended soils with Gaia Green Fert, Alfalfa Meal & Dolomitic Lime, mixed and the topped with Worm Castings and mixed again. - defoliated any Obvious Big Fan leaves. Or leaves showing any wpm history. - increased PPDF and hopefully the Kids get Busy!! Now that there is food in every watering ! - oaxacan was the only plant that had lots of moisture in it. Floor-Fan was aimed 75% at the fabric bag. We’ll see if its abated on the 26th. Might need a full pH’d flush… if its locked us out… ? Unsure why, its on the same ached as the otherz 27th - last day of Week 9 in Flower - Any liquids fed tonight will be “tweeked” with Molasses (organic, unsulphured) - all liquids pH’d; target is 6.4 🎯

Strong finish is what I’m looking to do 15th - plants watered. Worm Casting Tea is on the menu Next - plants had the Soil Amended last week 17th - light-cycle has been reduced from 11 hrs to 10.5 hrs 18th - squirrel tail and Bhadra fed, Congo still damp - last day of week 12; DAY 84 in flower - squirrel tail may have the string-of-pearl pheno taking shape within the buds

Dec 26th - dinner tonight possibly, last nite the plants where almost mid-moisture, which was surprisingly quick with such a big meal a few days ago. - start of week 14, my longest Flower yet... - dinner can wait till tomorrow nite 27th - worm casting tea with molasses is brewing - bhadra / Sq Tail get 1.5L each, Congo gets watered to Run-off again. Tea pH will be adjusted to 6.4, again - plants to be left until almost Dry this time. Water-only Feed is next-up, w/ Soil Amending. ~ 4 or 5 days. Last official amending… 28th pm, found that a Seed dropped by the Squirrel Tail, has Germinated in the Pot… She looks Healthy, its a Bonus 30th - turns out there are 3 seedlings in the substrate, bloody Hilarious! - picking available seeds from the Squirrel Tail and Congo tonight. Promotes Bud growth once the seeds r gone, so I’ve read 31st - pulled 4 germinated seeds from the soil of the Squirrel Tail. Thats a New event for me, I’m not used to flowering for this Long and seeing this style of genetic Turnover - tonight is a Food Nite for the Kids. Water feed w/ Soil Amendments - added beach sand to the amendment, to aid in drainage - Not the Congo, she is locked-up. Pulling no liquid from the soil. Flushed twice and she seems to be set in her ways. Chop and Hang may be the next step for her - Then its a Congo Seed harvest - adding the UV-B (lizard-lite) light tonight, for the last 30min of the LED cycle. And the first 15min after the LED goes out. Jan 1, 2024 - last day week 14 of Flower - Squirrel Tail gets fed Water tonight; 2.5L - Bhadra was fed last nite - Congo is not taking-up much space, no Chop yet. Taking a Water-only approach with her/it. as Time is short

With quite a Journey still to come ~ 20+ weeks for bhadra - early HST and LST was applied to the plants; Bhadra is 80cm above soil and the Squirrel Tail is 60cm tall. Both plants have Colas that are really starting to Fill-out - with the Congo remaining Locked-up, she has been pulled from the tent and will be hanging shortly. Will Salvage some Buds and make good on collecting some of these Seeds - misted the Plants really well, like a good Rain. 3rd - Bhadra may need a Feeding tonight; fed H2O last on 31st @ 3L w/ pH of 6.4 - SQUIRREL TAIL was fed on the 1st (2.5L) -Nutes are brewing; NPK Bloom / Enzymes, Molasses. Soil was amended last week. This adds to the Live portion being fed - 84 cm 4th - took a few shots of the Squirrel Tails trichomes. wow my macro lens is dirty. Buds are looking spectacular 5th - moisture check, alls good -more stretch from Bhadra still happening. - 7cm this week alone; week 15 ha lol - this week has also seen that a Heavy, Earthy Dankness fills the Tent, when I unzip it !!! Heavenly - Water is the next meal 6th - Bhadra fed 4L of pH’d Water 8th - last day of the 15th week in Flower - The Squirrel Tail was fed 4-Litres of Worm Casting Tea - wonderful to see that Bhadra has dealt with her big meal and may be thirsty real soon. She gets worm tea as well next feed.

16th - soil to be amended Thursday - defoliation of the sugar and fan leaves impacted by wpm. Not very much damage has occurred and the ozone generator will maintain a low level weekly starting now, and until harvest the UV-c bulb will be employed bi-weekly - alls good really. Allowing the Pots to become Just on the Dry-side this time through. Amend Soil and big Tea feed is planned 17th - looks like the soil amending is happening tonight. Liquid feed will occur as needed, tea is brewing. Amendment above - Bhadra fed 3.5L, she is thirsty - found that many of the fan leaves on Bhadra have faded. So I’m glad I was ready, fearing the soil nutes had run-out… and Amended the soil immediately. Then fed her 3.5Litres of Worm Casting tea, with Kelp Meal & Molasses. Hope to see a “Spry Lady” greeting me when I open the door 18th - Squirrel Tail maintains her thirst, a day longer than Bhadra. Squirrel gets a Drink of the Tea, tonight; 3L only 19th - macro shots of Bhadra tonight - applied a Bend to the top foot of the Bhadra, to event out the canopy - Bhadra’s soil, waits till tomorrow for Dinner, 20th - Bhadra watered; 3Litres @ 6.4 - each of the Yellow Fan leaves have been shrugged off by the plant. Nitrogen consumption by the plant, as she enters the Final third of Flowering. Nutes to be reduced from here on in. Soil was mildly amended a few days ago. The plant cleaned right up, it took 20 minutes to remove the Yellow leaf clusters. Definitely the first time I’ve seen a plant tell me these are not needed anymore ! 21st - harvesting some seeds from the Squirrel Tail tonight - new plants in the tent today. Autos and a Squirrel Tail seedling are moving-in - MarsHydro ts-1000 get utilized as a side-lite for the Bhadra. 500 ppfd to start 22nd - last day of week 17 in Flower

23rd - tonight Squirrel Tail gets Flushed. She's entering the final third of Flower. Trashed the Fan-leaves last week and its easy on the food from here on in. - Squirrel Tail is amazing, and gets watered / fed tonight as well - 600 ppdf from the side panel. Probably increase it to 700 if all looks good 24th - Squirrel Tail was flushed with 11 gallons of water; @ 6.4 pH 26th - day 4 week 18 and things are steady - both plants were flushed this week. Next I’m brewing a partial meal of Bloom Microbes, Enzymes and Molasses to keep a live component working in the substrate. - Small amount of Fish Bone Meal (2 tbsp - 3 gal soil) added to the surface. They take a few waterings to be active, Microbes will be done when Fish Meal kicks-in. Thats going to Be It for Nutes on these Landrace strains. 28th - Bhadra fed double, because I did not pH dinner. When I checked, she had been fed 3L @ pH 6.0… I adjusted 2.5L to 6.8 and re-fed doh - 2 tbsp of Bone Meal mixed into Worm Castings per plant. Watered into when fed, these are the Final nutes 29th - last day, week 18

Feb 13th - start of week 21 in Flower - Squirrel Tail may be done as the Seeds are taking over I think. Less Green more Brown etc - Squirrel Tail appears to have committed to seed making, not bud production.

Hoping that this change will help the Bhadra finish Strong 17th - dinner tonight is 3.89L or 1 gallon of h20 19th - last day of week 21 in Flower - cleaned up the dead sugar leaves littering the undercar

Detail’s to come, I’ve just hung it up. She’s done. I am putting it in a garbage bag and beating her up a bit this aft. Collecting seeds, addressing what Green Matter is left on the branches? Germination testing is already happening. Gonna find positives in this 6-month gig. Nuggets or Not Bhadra seeds have been dropped in all 3; Super-Hot water/ Hottest tap-water/ lukewarm and will be left floating so we can see any changes
