Started with 4 Seeds. 3 popped open in 30hours.🌱
Since the fourth did not do anything for another day I also started a fifth, but both did not open in 4 more days.😕
I then carefully cracked the shell of both, and put them into soil after the root was visible the next day, but they never grew. After another week I dug out both, but nothing ever grew beyond a sad Millimeter of root, despite exact same conditions like the others.
The three original Seedlings shot out of the soil after 2 Days and are doing fine.👌🏼
Still I am kinda unhappy that I only got three Seedlings now, since I really wanted to fill my tent with 4 plants of the same cultivar, but as only 3/5 germinated I had to substitute with a RQS Blue Cheese Automatic thats getting its own Diary now.
The 3 plants that germinated are growing strong. Prepared their small pots a few days ahead with Dynomyco.
Just a few mL of Water every other day to keep humidity up.
Dont mind the BlueCheese Automatic creeping into every Picture I take, ahes got her own thing going on.
Lets grow
Moved them into 8L fabric pots on Day12. The soil was prepared 2 days earlier: mostly new Light Mix with some recycled soil from the last grow and a mix of coffe grounds and a bit of ash + some Dynomyco mixed in.
Barerely put any water into each pot, and added a tiny bit of silic rock to that water.
Strong growth after transplant.👍
All making good progress. 😎
Topped them on Day 19 above 4th Node, after giving them their first 20mL of water. Will top them a second time asap. Increased lighting to 17h for now.
Having a bit of a struggle with sciaridae again, even though the top soil has been dry all along. But the stickers are getting lot of them and I got Steinerma nematodes on the way, which will deal with them for good, so no biggy. Still annoying little flies..
Good recovery after topping in Week 3.
Started introducing low amounts of Hesi TNT complex.
Topped them the second time on day 26, so it took 7 days for the new growth to be big enough for clean second cut.
I guess they are now set for the shape I want them to have, each with 4 branches (from the lower nodes) and the 4 tops. Maybe some LST down the line.
For now on I will leave them be for a while and see when they are large enough to go 12/12.
Different recovery rates from topping. Ozzy exploded in growth, Georg is doing alright and Lemmy is really slow at getting the new tops going, but still the tallest.
Topped off the pots with LightMix.
started some LST on the lowest branches and took off two fan leaves on each plant.
They are growing well.
Sadly I did not manage to LST the lowest branches in a way that they reach up to the canopy, thoguh I had some success. Thinking about cutting those, but maybe they can catch up a little during the stretch, when I put in the net.
They are staying in Veg for at least another week, I want to have some big bush situation going on when switching to flower. Will be hard to fulfill my original goal of having them smokable by christmas, but we'll see.
Strong growth this week. Started bending the upper shoots to expose and widen the canopy. Guess I can flip to flower soonish.
Defoliated just a few fanleaves on top, and side shoots on the lowest branches.
Increased the nutrients a bit, still far below recommend though.
I am trying to avoid putting in the net as long as possible, because watering these plant with their low branches is already more time consuming then I would like it to be. Soil in the fabric pots dries out very quick and slowly need to be rehydrated, otherwise I'll just have a pond in my tent.
Put in the Net at the End of last week and switched to 12/12 at the start of this week. Was able to spread the plants out very well and the lower shoots used the extra light to grow fast.
Cut of some leaves that blocked light from reaching the mid level. Cant wait to see that canopy in a few weeks once it looks more like the automatic next to it. 😏
Flowers are developing slowly. Had a few plants before that turned on the flowers much quicker after 12/12.
Still stretching a bit, Lem and Oz have grown about 10cm since switch to flower, Georg maybe 5cm and looks somewhat miniaturized.
Also developing a bit of a sweet smell.
Slight defoliation in the dense canopy and a few lower leaves.
I really feel like I got two phenos with Georg being smaller, having a tighter internodal spacing and leaves that look more serrated. Also seems to be more sensible to nutrients showing slight burning at the tips, while the other two show a tendency to turning purple and often have hanging leaves. Also the flwoers seems to develop a little slower on Georg.
Good development overall.
Still almost no smell, very stealthy strain so far.
Leaves continue to yellow a lot, I added a little Veg-Nutrients in hopes of slowing that down a little.
Feel like the larger/stretchier Pheno can take a little more nutrients as well, the smaller one shows first signs of burn at some leavetips so I am careful withthat one.
Good growth and bud development are alright even though nights are getting colder. Brings out a lot of purple on 2/3 of the Special Kush so far, hope it doesnt hamper the growth too much.
Buds look veeeery frosty on all plants though only subtle smell.
Well damn! By the end of this week I detected multiple Bananas on plant #2:Lemmy. On 5 buds each one Banana on top. Instantly threw the plant out of the tent and carefully cut any Banans off. Since only about 10Days of Flower are left, I will try to finish it seperatly under a small 15w LED.
For the reasons I could only guess at low night temperatures (lowest was 15.8°C) or just random problems in the genetic. The other 2 Special Kush plants in the same tent do not show any signs of Bananas yet, keeping a close eye.
Reduced Nutrients as we are getting closer to harvest
Only water from now on.
No new Bananas spotted on any of the three.
Trichomes are starting to get more milky. Thinking about putting the outlawed plant back for better light during the last 3-4 days before harvest as it cant do much bad then anyway. Only if no new Bananas show up.
Put the Lemmy plant back in the tent, as there were no new Bananas and all the ones rom before removed, so pretty sure its safe for the last few days.
Last water given on Day 113.
Now I wait until soil is near dry (2-3 days), then 48h of dark and then harvest.
Plants were left in the dark for 48h before cutting. Drying in the tent for 8days at about 17° and 60-65%. Then into jars which were burped daily for another two weeks.
Harvested after 65 Days in 12/12 (+2Days of Darkness), trichomes where mostly milky with about 15% amber in between.
