Hello and welcome to another diary! This time I’m growing a fem biscotti by zamnesia seeds for the Power Buds contest. Also I’ll be using the Plagron products supplied for flower. Thank you to Zamnesia & Plagron for the contest pack! 👍
Biscotti germination:
Using dechlorinated water, with a drop of humid acid in it, I soaked the seed in a cup at 22 degrees C, in the dark. 2 days later, the seed was germinated. I sowed straight into soil from there.
The soil I’m using is used light mix, refreshed with 10% worm castings. I’m using a 16L pot and I pre soaked the soil before planting the seed.
She took 3 days to sprout 🌱
Thanks for dropping in! Hope to see you again next week! 🙌
Hello and welcome! The first week of growth for this biscotti from zamnesia has been great. I haven’t watered the soil since pre watering for germination. She’ll need water in a few more days probably. And that’s it for this update.
Thanks for dropping in! Have a good week! 🙌

Hello and welcome! Week 2 of veg has been great. Nice growth and health. I watered at the beginning of the week and haven’t done anything else. And that’s it for this update!

Hello and welcome! Week 3 of veg has been great. Still minimal input from me. Just watered once to run off, and have been maintaining light distance at 45cm. I’m gonna give her one more week of veg before flipping to flower. And that’s it for this update!

Hello and welcome! Week 4 of veg has been another good one. I defoliated the large fan leaves from the main stem and topped under the 7th node. I also upped the calmag because I remembered I’m using recycled soil that was flushed.
And that’s it for this update!

Hello and welcome! The first week of 12/12 went pretty smoothly. I put a scrog net in ready to spread her out next week. Hoping to get 12 main branches / tops. She’s drinking about 4L every 5-6 days atm.
And that’s it for this update!

Hello and welcome! The second week of 12/12 was great. She’s showing signs of flower now so I’ll start giving bloom nutrients next week. I’ll also get round to spreading her out under the net properly asap.
That’s it for this update!

Hello and welcome! The third week of 12/12 was all hunky dory! Flowers are starting to come in, and she’s looking healthy and vibrant. I spread her out earlier in the week and I’ll defoliate some next week as she’s quite bushy now.
That’s it for this update!

Hello and welcome! This week sadly I discovered some male parts growing under and amongst a lot of female flowers while I was defoliating.. 😫 I thought it might have been stress but now I’m pretty sure it’s a genetic hermaphrodite after doing some research.
My only course of action is to rip it up, bag it up, and start something new as I don’t want male pollen anywhere near my other tent. ☹️ such a damn shame because this plant was doing so well.. arrgh
That’s it for this update.
Thanks for dropping in and showing your support. 👍

It’s a Christmas miracle! So it turns out there wasn’t actually male flowers among the female flowers! I jumped the gun on that one. There was just the few balls lower down on a couple of branches, which I gently removed. I had to wait a couple weeks to make sure but I haven’t spotted any more since🤞woo! 🤞

Waiting … ⏳ … Another week maybe 👀
Still too many clear trichs and new stigma production. Looking fat though!
