12/23/2023 : I shaked them for 10s in a sandpaper made cylinder, let them soak in B.A.C. X-seed for an hour and placed them in Jiffy peat pellets watered with a bit of T.A. TrikoLogic. Now in warm and wet conditions for a few days. 12/27/2023 : tap root is out of the Jiffy for afghani #1 and sensi skunk, it's time to go! I'll try square smartpots (about 4 gal) with Covercrop LightMix. I watered all this with pH=6.2 rain water - calmag and Elycitor added. Shiva skunk is almost there and Hindu Kush seems to have a problem. 12/28/2023 : Hindu Kush is alive and shiva skunk is dying...

01/01/2024 : Shiva skunk is saved and will grow in whatever was left to fullfill its plastic pot! Hindu kush is OK now and the 2 others look beautiful in their big square smarpots! 01/05/2024 : shiva's first true leaves are tip damaged, we'll see... others are growing nicely.

01/06/2024 : Today begins the second week of grow, so it's time to introduce B.A.C. nutrition : I'll follow Fast Food Organic program. I must spray twice this week (once with foliar spray, the other with plant vitality) and begin a light feeding (0.5L for shiva skunk - 1.5L for the others). I set lights near 25% power to deliver 16 DLI (18h/d @60cm) and oscillating fan on low to create just enough wind for my young plants to get stronger stems. RH is still near 65%, The heights are : afghani #1 - 8.5cm sensi skunk - 8.0cm hindu kush - 6.5cm shiva skunk - 4.5cm / stunted growth & damaged ends but it's still here... 😅 01/09/2024 : sensi skunk was down, had to use a tutor to maintain it up. others are OK so ? Shiva skunk looks like a mutant with rounded and/or asymetrical tips, The heights are : afghani #1 - 11.0 cm (+2.5) / OK very good start sensi skunk - 9.5 cm (+1.5) / OK - with tutor hindu kush - 8.0 cm (+1.5) / OK shiva skunk - 5.5 cm (+1.0) / mutant ? 01/12/01 : the leaves are twisted, maybe something is wrong... tiny side branches are coming out from each node. The heights are : afghani #1 - 13.0 cm (+2.0) sensi skunk - 10.5 cm (+1.0) hindu kush - 9.5 cm (+1.5) shiva skunk - 6.5 cm (+1.0)

2024/01/14 : Added a flat 250W radiant heater in the tent and with light set to 20 DLI, temps stay between 22 to 24°C (night/day), much better! Following B.A.C. schedule... with silica power and one more spray with foliar spray this week. I removed sensi skunk tutor, it's on its own now. Even shiva skunk looks better. Girls are OK, I'm happy. The heights are : afghani #1 - 14.0 cm (+1.0) sensi skunk - 11.0 cm (+0.5) hindu kush - 10.5 cm (+1.0) shiva skunk - 7.5 cm (+1.0) 2024/01/17 : starting a bit of LST with "J" (custom made with leftover electrical wire). I just had a bad experience with mold so I "tied down" to maximise air circulation between buds. Afghani #1 has 3 nodes tied down, Sensi Skunk & Hindu Kush have 2 for the moment. Shiva Skunk is tiny and ugly but I let it be : I had to help it a little with a tutor. I see better growth after 3 days with new heater. The heights are : afghani #1 - 16.0 cm (+2.0) sensi skunk - 13.0 cm (+2.0) hindu kush - 13.5 cm (+3.0) shiva skunk - 9.5 cm (+2.0)

2024/01/20 : as it survived, shiva skunk got a decent pot (1 gallon smartpot 50% canna coco pro / 50% hydroton) and 3 others are going on LST... 3 days growth : afghani #1 - 19.0 cm (+3.0) sensi skunk - 17.5 cm (+4.5) hindu kush - 16.5 cm (+3.0) shiva skunk - 11.5 cm (+2.0) 2024/01/23 : shiva skunk looks bad, with leaves going down and yellowing... it didn't like its transplant. The others are looking OK. I may have seen first pistils... The heights are : afghani #1 - 22.0 cm (+3.0) sensi skunk - 18.5 cm (+1.0) hindu kush - 18.5 cm (+2.0) shiva skunk - 11.0 cm (-0.5) 2024/01/24 : spayed with Foliar Spray from B.A.C. last night, don't know if it was OK for shiva skunk, we'll see. 3 others are preflowering without a doubt now. afghani #1 - 24.0 cm (+2.0) sensi skunk - 20.0 cm (+1.5) hindu kush - 21.0 cm (+2.5) shiva skunk - 11.5 cm (+0.5) 2024/01/25 : shiva skunk is struggling but it's not done yet. And I think stretch began for others.

2024/01/26 : I'll end tie down with "J" before preflowering is done (about 2 weeks) and I'm thinking about lollipopping side branches or just defoliating and what fan leaves to cut. Anyway, I'll remove any part too close from soil or walls before starts full flowering. Shiva skunk was dying, again, and now she looks almost alive, again... The grow space is limited so maybe it's a bad for a good if it dies or stays dwarf. Guest blueberry will go in it's own space and humidificator is now useless : that should free room if needed. afghani #1 - 25.5 cm (+1.5) sensi skunk - 23.0 cm (+3.0) hindu kush - 23.0 cm (+2.0) shiva skunk - 11.5 cm (0.0) 2024/01/29 : I removed all Js and lollipopped side branches, cut a few fan leaves too... Now I let it as it is and we'll see. afghani #1 - 31.0 cm (+4.5) sensi skunk - 30.0 cm (+7.0) hindu kush - 26.5 cm (+3.0) shiva skunk - 12.5 cm (+1.0) 2024/02/01 : girls seem to handle lolipopping/defoliation without problem and are stretching. shiva skunk is back in the game and began flowering too, a bit late and stay dwarf. afghani #1 - 37.0 cm (+6.0) sensi skunk - 36.0 cm (+6.0) hindu kush - 29.0 cm (+2.0) shiva skunk - 13.5 cm (+1.0)

2024/02/04 : 3 big have a bit of deficiencies and yellowing - stretch is full on! I'm quite happy with the shape I gave them and removed just a few fan leaves this time. Each of them have at least 16 side branches, with decent air ciculation. Shiva skunk is my bonsai... it's so tiny! It has recovered from transplant and preflowering. afghani #1 - 43.0 cm (+7.0) sensi skunk - 42.5 cm (+6.5) hindu kush - 34.0 cm (+5.0) shiva skunk - 18.0 cm (+2.5) 2024/02/07 : finish removing last leaves, now it seems stretch is less than previous day (except for shiva skunk as it's very late). I'm reviewing low cost stuff I bought to shoot decent pics and I appreciate the improvement! I need to add photography light and it's far from perfect but here are a few samples. afghani #1 - 48.0 cm (+5.0) sensi skunk - 46.0 cm (+3.5) hindu kush - 36.0 cm (+2.0) shiva skunk - 22.0 cm (+4.0)

2024/02/12 : I guess I let them too long without watering/underfed them or some lock of any kind and I get a massive yellowing now. Almost each grow I fail this 2~3 flowering week moment!😡 I watered with pH=6.0 rain water and check pH/EC : afghani was a bit high, sensi skunk in the middle and hindu kush was rather low. It's strange as they had the same feeding... afghani #1 - 50.5 cm (+2.5) sensi skunk - 47.5 cm (+1.5) hindu kush - 41.0 cm (+5.0) shiva skunk - 26.0 cm (+4.0) 2024/02/13 : yellowing is worse, will spray with Foliar Spray tonight and beguin flowering week 3 B.A.C. schedule tomorrow with lower pH (maybe near 6.0). 2024/02/14 : will have to flush, at least afghani and sensi skunk as runoff pH is near 7.0... and shiva skunk is infested with tiny white bugs (they jumped at the surface last watering). It's a first for me, so I must seek a solution (or dump shiva to the trash bin). 😭 afghani #1 - 51.0 cm (+0.5) sensi skunk - 48.5 cm (+1.0) hindu kush - 42.5 cm (+1.5) shiva skunk - 28.5 cm (+2.5)
Grow Questions

AlpAge_Cinostarted grow question a year ago
Hi, last watering I've seen tiny translucent insects (about 1 mm) emerging from the soil. They are fast and can jump like a flea. I assume they live in soil. What are these little monsters, should I worry about them and what should I do ? TIA

I can not make anything out from the image, it almost looks like a baby translucent/ghost root. could be a number of things from springtails to gnat larva or something else, Need better pics of the create in question. Gnats are annoying but not normally detrimental to plants unless they overrun the site and get stuck in sticky buds. springtails are good to the soil and feed it by eating dead matter they also don't come up into the leaves or buds. Try to get better pics and go from there to identify what they are. Good Luck!

2024/02/18 : girls seem better since flush. Yellowing is no more out of control and buds are getting fatter with trichromes except for Hindu Kush (can't see them yet). Stretch is slowing for afghani and sensi skunk : afghani #1 - 51.5 cm (+0.5) sensi skunk - 48.5 cm (0.0) hindu kush - 45.5 cm (+3.0) shiva skunk - 30.5 cm (+2.0) I bought a decent pH meter (Hanna HI98107 pHep) with buffer and storage solutions : at least I can trust pH values now. 2024/02/20 : I removed dead leaves and a few popcorn buds. They look much better one week after flush : I fed with runoff, hoping it's OK. Now 4 are with trichromes : there is a noticeable scent in the tent.😁 Hindu Kush keep stretching, Sensi Skunk doesn't. Afghani and Shiva Skunk are almost there... afghani #1 - 52.0 cm (+0.5) sensi skunk - 48.5 cm (0.0) hindu kush - 48.0 cm (+2.5) shiva skunk - 31.0 cm (+0.5)

2024/03/01 : they are green again! I can see a bit of new deficiencies on oldest fan leaves but nothing alarming. I don't read heights anymore, instead I'll check trichromes! Sensi Skunk looks like it will be ready before 3 others. Shiva Skunk has purple touches on highest leaves.😍 2024/03/04 : I removed lowest fan leaves from main colas to let the light do its thing. Flowers and sugar leaves are covered with trichromes and smell fantastic. Buds get bigger. I took a proxy shot of main colas to check trichromes color and I haven't seen amber yet. Afghani is a bit late yet its main cola is the largest. The heights are now : afghani #1 - 54.0 cm sensi skunk - 50.5 cm hindu kush - 51.0 cm shiva skunk - 32.0 cm 2024/03/07 : pretty happy with those fat buds! Sensi skunk is almost done, I'll recheck next weekend. 3 others are about 1 or 2 weeks late.

2024/03/16 : last feeding before final flush. Buds don't grow anymore. I took macro shots to check trichromes : a few amber, too much clear. The heights are : afghani #1 - 54.5 cm sensi skunk - 51.5 cm hindu kush - 52.0 cm shiva skunk - 33.5 cm 2024/03/18 : check on trichromes. Afghani needs at least another week (or two). Sensi skunk and shiva skunk are almost done, just waiting for more amber. It's a matter of days for hindu kush. 😃 2024/03/20 : FC-E3000 just died, after 16 months @75% max. 😥 Switch with SF1000 100%, at 30cm : 30~35 DLI, enough for last flushing week(s). 2024/03/21 : flush for all of them and water only until end.

2024/03/29 : afghani is half yellow now and I can see first amber trichromes! I'll recheck in a few days. I love that "late flowering mix of colors show" given by cannabis plant, Main cola is large. 2024/04/02 : afghani #1 harvest day! I trimmed 3 others and got decent amount of kief. I then shaked trimmed materials and got even more kief! All this kief is in the press, freezing with kept trim materials and shiva skunk fan leaves (which red parts were covered with trichromes too). I may do a mini ice-o-lator session in the futur... 2024/04/04 : pressed about 4g of kief 😁 2024/04/12 : everything is packed and ready for 3 months curing! I just have to make ice cubs for ice-o-lator to end this round and I'll get gran'total numbers. For the moment, 4.8g pressed hash and 194g dried buds. 2024/04/16 : and 563 mg of bubble hash. This time, it's done!
