Happy for a while when it's over and happy and ready to start again 3/4 months later !
- 24/10/2023: Day 0 !
After 36 hours 7/8 seeds germinated and went today in their 1L pot.
One Zamaldelica x Kali China didn't germinated yet but it's too soon to think it failed. The 2 previous times that I grew it, it they took longer than the other seeds to germinate.
Just in case, I started another seed today :). Don' het me wrong Ace seeds germinates very very well !
Third round for the great Colombian Jack.
As previously - and the same with any seed that I grew from Kannabia- all seeds germinated in 24/30 hours, strong and healthy.
I
would like to grow it in the 4X4 but I'm not sure yet : For sure both Amnesi K lemon will grow in the 4X4 but the Do-G and Zamaldelica x Kali China may ( or not depending on the phenos that I'll get) grow taller that both Colombian jack.
Third round too for the Zamaldelica x Kali China. I love it too :)
2nd round for Amnesi K lemon. Lovely plant, productive, great smell and taste, very nice effects, perfect from the morning to the evening.
And 2nd round too for the Do_G. Can't wait to see how they behave with more than 3 weeks of growth. Great effects, incredible smell and taste, big rocky buds and dream trim.
As usually I'll give them 4/5 weeks of growth, they'll be topped and then scrog.
SE 5000 in the 4X4
SF 4000 in the 3x3,
Bio Technology nutrients organic line , Neem oil, Molasses, Advanced nutrients 's Overdrive in addition to blooming H for everyone. CO2 bags as soon as they're grown a little.
And heat bars as it's (at least) cooling dow and won't stop in the coming weeks.
T°: 26°C RH 70%
So only Sativa/indica hybrids this time, all more sativa than indica, all 10/11 weeks of 12/12, all stars for me, all productive, all with great smells, taste, strong effects, productivity, beautiful, resistant and nice to grow and look at😍.
- 25/10/2023 Day 1: The 2nd Zamaldelica x Kali China germinated and went in its 1 L pot. 🙏
- 26/10/2023 Day 2: All ladies are out (The 2nd ZKC and a Colombian Jack are just making their way)... but one Do-G.
I carefully looked at it and its germ didn't develop at all. I give it a few more days just to say but with not much hope.
So.. I started another Kannabia strain (Nebula x afghan) : Sativa dream aka LOL that I've been wishing to try for a while.
It has a shorter flowering time and I'm not sure if scrog is the best for it but well, it's done.
- 27/10/2023 Day 3 :
The failing Do_G failed: I had another look this morning; no changes so I took the seed out of the soil: White/yellow juice in it. Too bad.
Fortunately the Sativa dream will enter the dance just in time due to its shorter flowering period but will have 1 week less of 18/12 than the other girls.
- 30/10/2023 Day 6: 1 Colombian Jack failed ! Incredible ! I could see its cotyledons but the root didn't develop and after 6 days it was exactly the same while the survivors are doing great.
I started to have doubts when I started the Sativa dream. So I started another sativa dream the day after. and another one yesterday because the 1st one hasn't germinated yet and I think won't. And in case :) I started another kannabia seed: Monkey grease for its short flowering time.
The 2nd SD germinated yesterday and went in its 1L pot and the third one today.
So finally, If everything goes on well, I'll have to make a choice or to grow 9 plants instead of 4.
31/10/2023 Day 7: 6 girls have started well and are happy.
2/3 Sativa dream germinated (not the oldest yet after 5 days) and are in their 1 L pot since yesterday and today.
Usually (thinking of the first germinated SD...) , they pop out of the soil quicker.
So, in case one would fail, I also started a Monkey grease less than 24h ago.
The 6 for sure survivors look good, happy and develop quickly.
Next week I'll know what the final menu will be.
Edit: The monkey grease germinated today,later in the afternoon and will go in its 1L pot tomorrow.
07/11/2023 Day 14:
Finally there will be 9 plants:
In the 4x4: 1 Colombian Jack + 2 Amnesi -k- lemon + 1 Do-G (+/- same flo period)
AND the monkey grease. 14L pots for all but the monkey grease (11 L).
I 'll place it in the center, raised up and take it out of the tent as soon as it's ready
In the 3x3: 2 Zamaldelica x Kali China ans 2 sativa dream.
All plants are happy and healthy although 3 of them saw the light 7/10 days after the others and will always be a good week late => less grow time for them=> a little less dry weight. I'll survive and I'm happy with all ladies start 😊
T°: Max 27° min 23°C
RH: 70/80%
PAR 280/300
14/11/2023 (Day 21):
Everybody's happy. The 6 oldest plants have been repoted in their final 14 L and I 'll top them tomorrow and place the net next week and start to train them.. Neem oil sprayed yesterday. They all grow fast and nicely !
Both sativa dream and the monkey grease are doing fine too and went in the 3X3. Repoting sometime next week and topping a few days later.
21/11/2023 (Day 28): Everything's all right in the 4X4. The plants are happy and they show it and grow very fast😍.
They were topped 6 days ago.
Finally I kept one zamaldelica x kali china (the most vivid at this stage) to go with the colombian jack, both Amnesi k lemon and the Do_G.
And so, the Monkey grease went in the 3X3 with the 2nd Zamaldelica and both sativa dreams. They were repotted in their 14 pot and 11L pot ( Monkey grease) 3 days ago.
I will probably give another 7/10 days of 12/12 to the 4x4 before switching to 12/12.
In the 3x3;next step is topping for sativa dreams and Monkey grease in a few days.
Neem oil sprayed in both tents a few days ago.
As for feeding, all plants had a low dose '(60% of the recommended dosage) of orga grow after a good ten days in the light mix, before repotting..
Their new soil (DNA Mills ultimate with cork) has all what they need for a good month => Elycitor and Roots + only nutriments for the next weeks (and some molasses :) )
PAR in the 4x4 is 550/650
and 450/700 in the 3x3.
I use an app on my phone whose name is Photone since +/- 2years. It's just great ! A PAR meter whose measurements are accurate and for 5 bucks instead of a few hundreds.
This way it's really easier to set the lamp 's height , adjust the dimmer and always provide the best you can to the ladies.
They have more power in the 3x3 (450w /m2 480/1.44= 333 W/m2 in the 4X4) but the light isn't as unevenly sprayed than in the 4X4. Also the 450 W emits more heat. Nice during winter but not as soon as the T° outside is > 25/26 °C.
Photone won't correct this but really help you to get the best of your stuff.
28/11/2023 (Day 35):
In the 4X4: I topped the tops a 2nd time above their 2nd node last tuesday.
For all plants but the center AKL.
They all reacted well and quickly ! And after 5 days (2 days go) I switched to 12/12. Ha..! and they also had some cleaning under the net !
Third day of 12/12 and stretch slowly starting.
In the 3x3 , Same treatment for the 2nd ZKL and 1st and last top for both Sativa dream and the monkey grease.
I missed the topping with the monkey grease but got a beautiful FIM instead ! I'll switch to 12/12 after +/- 1 more more week of 18/12.
For now everything's all right, the plants look good and healthy.
Forgot to mention that they smell a lot in the 4X4.
5/12/2023 (Day 42):
Cool and not cool in the 4x4:
10th day of 12/12.
The plants all look very good, happy and healthy but... something ( I think the driver) doesn't work ok anymore with my SE 5000. I noticed a drop in the max ¨PAR in the middle of last grow but thought my led bars had to be cleaned. The cleaning changed nothing and the panel kept on losing efficiency since I started this grow ( 4th one with this panel): At 100%, 22 cm above the canopy max PAR is at 40% of what it should be and has been for.. yes ! 3
long grows.
I ordered another one and start the process to test Spider Farmer support regarding the repairs on the faulty model still under warranty.
For now the plants doesn't seem to matter but I 'don't see tons of pistils after 10 days of 12/12.
In the 3X3:
Well.. They all look good, happy and healthy too :) And the SF 4000 (8th grow) performs just like for the 1st grow: Perfectly.
Considering that the SE5000 also did a great job (even better) as long as it worked correctly, this is the reason why I chose Spider Farmer again to replace... Spider Farmer !. I'll stay happy if activating the warranty to have the sick panel fixed/repaired doesn't turn in to a nightmare.
I switched to 12/12 last sunday: 3rd day of flowering.
12/12/2023 (Day 49):
17 Th day of 12/12 in the 4X4.
The 2023 upgraded SF 5000 was delivered last fryday and the plants love it.
I find it slightly more powerful than the 2021 model and way lighter.
A new driver for the other model is supposed to be on its way.
My CO2 bags don't hurt but they are not a CO2 setup. It would require air conditioning etc etc: For sure not for me..
So, to still try to improve the results, I finally ordered their 40w uv/ir bars in order to test the Emerson effect 😛and stimulate their defenses etc..:
I think that the chosen ranges (735/745 nm for ir and 365/420 nm for uva) are a very good choice, the most still usable parts of light spectrum and avoiding too much additional heat staying under 745 nm
They are on their way and will enter the dance next week.
To come back to the plants: The are all super healthy, happy and grew ... A lot.
Both Zamaldelica x Kali china are the most vivid specimens that I ever had with this strain and took a lot of space on other plants in both tents. They are VERY promising !
Both Amnesi k lemon are doing great although one takes a little less light than the other ( in the back side). They fatten a lot during the last weeks and I know by now that I won't be disappointed if everything goes well till the end of the grow, Oh no ! :)
Same goes with the surviving Colombian jack. It doesn't react as well to scrog than the other plants but I" ve been lucky enough to have a specimen with larger internodes and more flexible branches= > I'll probably get the biggest Colombian jack that I ever had ! Maow :).
Sativa dreams! They react very well to topping and scrog and it's too bad that they didn't start at the same time than the others. I love their delicate smell and they're likely to be grown again.
The little dwarf Monkey grease ! : Well.. It starts little but top it and give it enough veg and that 's quite another story ! It reacts very well to scrog too and it's a pity that it also started 7/10 days after the other plants ( CJ/AKL/Do-G and ZKC). This one is starting to flower today.
The Do-G exploded and stretched a lot. If it behaves ( and it looks like) like during last grow, results should be great.
No molasses od for now, no broken branches not one single leaf not healthy. For now everything goes on well.
After a few grows, you gain confidence, perfect your routines, know better when and why to act. This time, I have the feeling that the plants can feel it and let me know :)
I love growing and I love these plants 😻
See you next week and happy growing all !
19/12/2023 '(Day 56):
24th day of 12/12 in the 4x4. The new se 5000 's light spectrum is still improved compared to my 2021 model. The plants really love it.
At 75/80%, +/- 30cm from canopy the ppfd is always > 550 and somewhere between 850/900. The red has been enriched. And the panel is much lighter and rigid.
It took less than a week to be delivered and still less for the 40W ir/uva bars.
Good !
However, the new driver for the 3 grows old 2021 SE 5000 whose shipment was already being arranged a week ago... should after new inquiries live China (...) in 1 ('or 2 ! :) working days.
So much the better that I'm not anymore in a hurry !!
We'll see next week !
The 40W uva/ir:
It looks like the uva "electrify' the plants a bit and makes them wilder. I give them 6x15 mn during the day cycle. The stretch also quasi stopped this week: Only +2 cm.
For the ir , 10mn before the SE5000 is off and then 10 more minutes. You can see how deeply the ir penetrates the plants and after +/- a week, it looks like flowering is slightly in advance.
The way the device is built, you need a digital timer and to switch from uva to ir twice a day. I still find it pleasant after a week but it won't last :)
Or...You get a 2nd pair of bars and use one for uva and the other for ir .
For the plants, it's all good ! The Colombian Jack is the strongest (and tallest) that I ever had.
The zamaldelica is the heavy drinker ( in both tents) and 1 Forecast more than 300g dry for both plants.
The Do- G is doing as great as I expected after it's first grow ! Can't wait.
And.. Everything's alright for both Amnesi K lemon 😍
- In the 3x3 : 17 th day of 12/12: A bit of stretch but not that much :) Flowering has started.
The monkey grease is a killer and managed to preserve its space against the Zamaldelica x Kali China and even to take some on her ! More and more bud sites from everywhere. Very suitable for scrog.
Both sativa dream are doing fine although they would deserve more space... Next time !
I'm quite happy with the grows for now and wish everything goes on well for the coming couple of months 🙏
26/12/2023 (Day 63):
31th day of 12/12 In the 4x4.
They are just starting to stack and fatten.
They all still look very promising but.. the Zamaldelica X kali China and Do-G suffered from too much light too close ( uv/ir..)and apparently not enough N. I raised the lamps, gave them some Advanced Nutrient Revive and increased the grow stuff proportion in the soup's mix.
For sure the 6x 15 mn of uva /day stresses them and I don't know yet if it's a good thing or not. But they like ir ! Does stress lead to anything good ? We'll see soon.
Both Amnesi k lemon have the thickest trunks. Remembering how they fatten during the last weeks and judging by how they are developed now, the outcome should be more than great :)
The colombian Jack is doing great too . The 4 plants that I already grew of this one were shorter and I still think that the 5th one is the nicest that I ever had.
Do-G started to fatten nicely and trichomes are clearly out. Buds are going to fatten a lot and become rock solid : Can't wait :)
The Zamaldelica x Kali China slowly fattens and has lots of work with its numerous bud sites. I fed it lightly as advised (exactly the same than her sister in the 3x3) but it quickly started to get clearer with the stretch and the uv/ir bar arrival. Since i raised the lamps
etc, thing look a little better and I do think that 1) the supplemental bar was too close from the canopy and 2) ppfd too high on part of some plants ( 1200..).
In the 3x3: 24th day of 12/12 and everybody is clearly Ha-ppy !
They get more light, less well dispersed than in the 4x4 but.. Not a bit of yellowing. They don't look to miss any uv/ir bar and the ambiance in the tent is a peaceful sinusoid.
The game changed : The Sativa dreams took space ! and so did the Monkey grease and they finally grew a little taller than the Zamaldelicax Kali China.
This one is looking good (better than in the 4x4) and has also lots of work with its numerous bud sites..
I like a lot how both sativa dream and monkey grease grow and both react very very well to scrog although they wouldn't mind more space.
Happy 2023 last days to everyone ! See you newt year.
02/01/2024
( Day 70 ):
- 38 th day of 12/12 in the 4x4..
I raised the lamp again.
All girls really started to fatten and it's far for over.
They smell a lot and I find the smells deeper and richer/fresher than usually. The buds are also a bit bigger than what they use to be at this stage. I think that the "old" SF 5000 started to loose efficiency more than one grow ago and also the 40w uv/ir seem to have some positive effects on growth.
Talking about the "old" SF 5000, the new driver was delivered ... Today ! The shipment address was incomplete what I found out after painful researches, then Fedex out for 4 days ( happy new year). And then, remounting the panel, 2 small metal pieces use to maintain led bars using a screw... broke :).
as far a I could test it, the new driver works fine but I'm now unable to use the panel because of junk spare parts.
Both Amnesi k lemon are getting big. One as a tripoid branch. They both smell cra-zy and a pleasure to grow
The Colombian Jack is doing great :) This is the one that I can smell first as soon as I open the tent.
The Zamaldelica x kali China isn't getting worse and drinks more and more. She is still going to stack and fatten a lot and is likely to look like the fist one that I grew.
Same goes with the Do_G, with 3x more branches than last grow and more buds on the branches 😍. It already has this sweet/caramel smell, still stronger.
I gave them 65 % of the recommended dosage of Blooming H 3 days ago (increases veg size and mass). They had some Boost + with the food 4 days before and I don't want no PK od !
They'll have some Boost + once more with next watering and then I'll use A.N. 's Overdrive (and a 2nd round of blooming H around week 10.
- 31 th day of 12/12 in the 3x3.
They're just starting to fatten and stack and had no Boost + / Blooming H yet.
Well... They all look very happy and healthy😎.
The zamaldelica x kali China is likely to look more bushy than the 4x4 's one but les than last grow. We'll see. No N deficiency or light burn for her despite she gets. a 950/1250 ppfd..
Both sativa dream developed a lot. Trichomes are out and the smell is terrific : Sweet/caramel/:fruity/citrus. Quite different from the Colombian jack's one although they share one same parent (Nebula)
And the monkey grease is starting to show how nice it is and to eat more.
Next week they will have changed a lot. Can't wait.
09/01/2024 (Day 77):
45 th day pf 12/12 in the 4x4 and 38th in the 3x3
In the 4x4: the Zamaldelica x Kali China stopped yellowing and is slowly forming big colas on each branch. Not sure yet that they will be as long as those of the 1st grow but it's on the same way.
The Amnesi k lemon got bigger and it looks like they will be ready according the Kannabia's description.
The Colombian Jack is growing (well) but
differently than 2 previous grows, taller and wilder a bit like the biggest sativa dream. This one will have more than 10 weeks of 12/12 for sure and anyway it was planned: I find this excellent weed better with more than 70 days of 12/12.
And the Do-G has its buds getting denser and slowly bigger and should be ready in time or maybe a little earlier.
In the 3x3: Finally, Kannabia's girls took over the 2nd Zamaldelica x kali China (and it had one more week of 18/12).
The girls really started to stack and fatten this week.
The sativa dream are forming long big colas with lots of trichomes. They smell great !!
The monkey grease is fattening and it's strong plant ! Unfortunately she is right under the hot spot of my SF 4000 and gets ay too much light.
As soon (+/- 1 week) as I get the screw metal spare part from Spider Farmer for the "old" SE5000, things will get better.
1st round of blooming H in the 3x3 3 days ago and Overdrive in both tents ( yesterday 3x3, since a good week in the 4x4).
They all drink more and not less than 4l (for 14l pots...) each time: From 2 watering a weeks to 3= lots of work right now.
Also, it male a lot of 5Lspring water to buy and transport... But they like it much better the tap water we get here 😘.
Fingers crossed fro the last weeks !
16/01/2024 (Day 84):
52th day of 12/12 in the 4x4, 45th in the 3x3.
Not much to say. In both tents it's stacking and fattening and in both tents too smells are very strong.
This time, the Colombian Jack takes its times to fatten and grows differently than during the 2 last grows. No problem.
The 4x4 Zamaldelica x Kali China still drinks like crazy and gets bigger and majestic, both Amnsi k lemon talk by themselves ... and the Do_G looks like getting close to be ready.
In the 3x3, they fattened during the week, the smell became VERY strong mostly coming from the Sativa dream (or should I call them snow white or Miss Trich 😍) and the Zamaldelica x Kali China.
The monkey grease...Well look at it :)
Still 3 weeks to go it will be time to think of harvesting.
And it's already time to think on next grow. Likely to be a Kannabia one (Mobby dick, sativa dream, monkey grease, Amnesi k lemon and rerere Colombian Jack) depending on how good are monkey/grease and Sativa dream. And certainly the Zamaldelica x Kali China a third time.
23/01/2024
(Day 91)
59th day of 12/12 in the 4x4 and 52th in the 3x3.
Still 2 weeks to go before harvest in the 4x4 maybe a little earlier for the Do-G. For all strains, buds are now rock solid (Thank you blooming H _ they had 3 spray in both tents_ and overdrive.
Today I fed them for the last time and from now they'll only have water + Elycitor
Same in the 3x3 but maybe a little later for the 2nd Zamaldelica x Kali china.
I forgot : The "old" SE 5000 is repaired ! I'll use it next grow. It's been a bit long and painful but they did it !
30/01/2024
(Day 98);
66th day of 12/12 in the 4x4 and 59th in the 3x3.
All plants are ready but the Colombian Jack, the 3x3 Zamaldelica x Kali China.: I 'll wait till 71th day of 12/12 (and 64th in the 3x3) to harvest as plants won't move until the end and that i need both tents for drying.
Nice surprise ! Easy to grow; productive, short flo duration and producing VERY tasty buds (and smelly too). It's a trap :) Effect are strong, very relaxing but won't put you to bed unless you want to ( then it helps of course). I will grow it again.
Edit after 3 weeks of curing: Well... it turned out to be a 10 and I will grow it again quickly.
27/01/2024; Harvest after 56 days of 12/12 = 540g wet gone in the wedryer.
I thought that the strong smell in the 3x3 came mainly from sativa dream and Zamaldelica x kali China..Well... I was wrong. This girl smell a lot ! Sweet and chocolate notes.
Buds are dense but not as dense as the other strains, Should give a good 100g dry.
From the very little finger hash ball that I got hand trimming the plant a bit before the wedryer, the effets are strong and then (quickly) relaxing.
More to say in a couple of weeks.
03/02/2024: I smoked a small bud +/- dry. The taste is just incredible !!!!
It's really like eating something, a cookie , with caramel, chocolate, honey, sweet.. Can't wait to try it with the mighty.
I never had such a tasty experience before and so much pleasure from taste smoking something.
03/02/2024: Harvested on 70th day of 12/12 with the 2nd Zamaldelica x Kali China and both Amnesi k lemon.
It doesn"t smell what I'm used to but the finger ball hash says that everything is all right 😍
I had to enter a weight but it's a very rough approximation. Sure, I won't be disapointed with the dry weight/
03/02/2024: Harvested on 70th day of 12/12 with the Colombian Jack and the 2nd Zamaldelicaa x Kali China
The tripoid specimen gave the whole grow's biggest cola. Huge :) They both smell great althought the smallest plant way more fruity and intense.
The plants have been generous but no finger hash ball so nothing more to say for now.
04/02/23. I cut one bud on the tripoid plant 8/9 days ago (it looked burnt) and put it in the dryer with the monkey grease and sativa dream/ Do-G's smallest branches and forgot it.
Uncured but dry enough to be smoked, just tasted it and it's excellent ! A bit more potent than 1st grow but still good all day long. Joy 🙏
I cut down the 3x3 speciment on day 62 of 12/12 (with both sativa dream). A sweater and more discrete smell than previously .
Not much taste yet on 2 samples that I smoked but the weed is fan-tas-tic ! Extremely potent, very wide spectrum, better and stronger than for both previous grows (and it was already very very good)
The 4x4 specimen ( bigger and with an incredible smell) was cut down today on day 70 of 12/12. Finger hash ball: BAM !! Still better than the 3x3 specimen.
The buds are not that big but they are VERY heavy and solid/compact. Also extremely sticky.
I really love this strain. Very happy with the results now with a product going to be better and better with time.
2 rather different plants both with very nice fruity:citrus/sweet smell ' a little more sweet in the shortest plant. Both very sticky too.
Strong effects, more indica than sativa. Way too soon to talk about taste.
The plant gave me a weed much like the brain cake from last grow that I enjoyed much less than the...Do_G grown at the same time.
The taste is a pale copy of what i had and was waiting/hoping for.
Effects not as strong and more couch lock. Not as loaded with trichomes = bigger but lighter buds.
Congratulations on your harvest! 👏👏👏 You have cultivated healthy and robust specimens that can only bring you joy when you taste them 😋. Enjoy the fruits of your labor, and thank you for sharing it with the entire community 🤗, Kannabia Team 🧡
Good luck with your new setup! From Kannabia, we hope these healthy girls won't be affected by this little hiccup 🙌. Wishing you a happy flowering and sending good green vibes! 💚🧡
