Mimosa x Orange.Punch

Stony_German Everything's good. 100% germination. The Royal Gorilla is a bit behind, but it'll catch up. Normal with different strains and breeders. I always start the veg phase a week after planting, even if the first real leaves are already there after 3 days. Dynomyco and Great White ensure diversity of microbes. Just don't water too little or, even worse, overwater. I wish you all much success with your grow, and see you next week.

Stony_German Today, after 13 days since they came out of the soil, the girls were transplanted into 1-liter Root Pots. These pots prevent root circling through air pruning and prepare them for the fabric pots. This time I'm using Canna Bio Terra Plus for the first time. It's a peat-coco mix and promises the best of both worlds. This will be an organic grow, and Plagron worm humus was added at 15% to the soil. For microbe boost, Dynomyco and Great White are still my favorites. I mixed 4 mg of Greenhouse Feeding with the soil, so you can also take advantage of that. The seeds from Barneys are RQS ahead by days, and I'm glad I planted 3x Mimosa and only 1x Royal Gorilla. I'm still not sure if I should sort out the GG4 variant. The plants have become very stable with a light breeze and the lower-set Sanlight Evo, with short internodes.

Stony_German 21 days after the seeds went into the shot glass, the girls look nice and bushy with tight internodes. The GG4 has grown a 5-finger leaf right after the 1-finger leaf. But she's praying like no other. The green is a bit lighter, but that's not a deficiency. I think topping will happen in a few days. The VPD is almost perfect at 1.0 - 1.2 on average, and CO² is raised to 900ppm, which you can see in the pace and health. They are feeding themselves, and I think I’ll stick with Greenhouse Feeding Organic as the basic nutrient. Until next week, Growmies.😎

Stony_German Girls are happy and healthy. At the beginning of the week, they were transplanted into 20-liter factory pots. Mimosa stays very bushy and spreads out a lot. GG4 is more vertical. Thanks to Dynomyco and Great White, transplant shock was prevented, and they continued to grow with hardly any slowdown. I had to tie up the Royal Gorilla, and yeah, it doesn't fit with the Mimosa x OP, but it grew; however, it was my last seed. So, for now, it's a break from Barney's Farm and Humboldt Seeds Co, and Eleven8 Seeds for the next 1-2 years. I gave the ladies a little defoliation. Now they are getting 450 - 500 PPFD and 800 - 900 Co². I'm also testing B.A.C. Yuccah (wetting agent) for the first time. I've been very curious about it for years, but somehow I always forgot to get it when I was at the grow shop. Now just keep the soil not too wet but also not too dry and pray to the terp gods that there's a top-shelf pheno in there. See you soon, dear growmies; I wish you all the best with your ladies. 😎😁

Stony_German Unfortunately, the Royal Gorilla turned out to be male. It's the first time this has happened to me with fem. seeds. The other girls are extremely bushy. I had to do a little lollipopping this week to expose the future buds. For 5 weeks, they have grown very well, thanks to the perfect VPD of an average of 1.1-1.3 and increased CO². No problems so far. I will proactively water with BIT bacteria tablets against fungus gnats. In 2 weeks, I'll switch to 12/12. Until next week, dear growmies. 😎

Stony_German The 3 ladies are very short and extremely bushy. I have to remove some leaves here and there once a week. It's a shame that the Royal Gorilla had to be sorted out; it's the first time a feminized seed turned out male. I'll switch to 12/12 in about a week. The almost perfect VPD (1.00-1.2) has really paid off. My girls have never taken off this fast. I'd say 15-20%. The Greenhouse fertilizer is really highly recommended. However, I do use some additives with it. I should try using just Grow, Bloom, and the Enhancer from start to finish without adding anything else. I'm sure 99% of growers will understand that it's hard to let go of old and successful habits after 25 years. It has always worked very well. I also have to highly recommend Alfaboost; the Triacontanol seems to be a very good boost, the girls are really happy and thriving after each addition. See you soon, dear growmies. 😎

Stony_German Today is the last day of Veg, and the 12/12 schedule starts today. I've noticed some fungus gnats in the Canna Bio Terra soil, so I got some SF nematodes, and if that's not enough, I'll also use BTI tablets (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) to kill, murder, destroy the remaining larvae 😈😄 The yellow sticky traps are also up to monitor how the numbers decrease. The Greenhouse Bloom powder won't arrive until next week as a topdress. There's still enough of the Veg powder active; I don't want to give too much. The girls don't have an increased P + K demand anyway. See you next week, dear growmies. 👍

Stony_German Tag 8 Bloom and the girls are starting to stretch. The SF nematodes and BTI tablets have significantly minimized the fungus gnats. It's good to have reacted at the first sign. The depot alginate capsules dissolve over 4 weeks and continuously release new ones into the substrate. In 2-3 weeks I will brew the P+K Booster Compost Tea from BioTabs, and if necessary, I will also add Bio P+K 5-8 in later weeks. It might be the case that with the size of the plants and if the Greenhouse Bio Feeding Bloom is used up (it should last 8 weeks, but I've noticed that it's depleted after 5-6 weeks). 5 mg/l is too much if there's still Veg fertilizer available, and I initiated flowering after 4 weeks when there was still enough in the soil. But that's just experience that everyone has to make for themselves. Otherwise, everything is on cruise control and the best part of the grow is slowly starting. Somehow these girls are extremely vigorous, which is clearly visible on the main stem. I suspect there's something to the triacontanol hype. Alfa Boost gives quite a bit of extra power. AlfaBoost will be tested more thoroughly. I can already see a heavy lollipopping coming on day 21; the ladies are so bushy. Until next weekend, dear growmies, I wish you all the best with your grow.

Stony_German VPD 1.4-1.6. PPFD 600-700. Co² 800-850. 1.2 - 1.5 l water per day. Bloom Day 15. The girls are healthy and happy and show no signs of stress. I would prefer a little more stretch, but maybe a few more cm will come. The bushy plants are blocking too many bud sites from getting any light. The lollipopping as usual on day 21 of flowering will probably take some time, but it saves me from popcorn buds. Bio Bloom Feeding provides enough phosphorus. After 14 days, the microbes make a lot available, and I will maximize that with Bio Tabs Compost Tea starting week 3. Yesterday, the ladies got the Greenhouse Enhancer along with all the other goodies like Cal-Mag, Silica, and Great White. I still need to use up the leftovers of Rhino Skin, but I don’t find it a silica product to recommend. Until next week and good luck to all growers.

Stony_German It was time for some heavy lollipopping. Fungus gnats have also appeared again, so I need to take action. I will water with neem solution and order nematodes again. I hope to make the annoying flies as uncomfortable as possible until the nematodes arrive. I wouldn't recommend Plagron Worm Humus because of the many larvae. Organic has this disadvantage, but it rewards you with the quality of the buds. The first trichomes are slowly coming in, especially on the left. Today is Day 21 Bloom, and after the ladies have recovered from the high stress, compost tea from Bio Tabs will provide them with the necessary P+K. Good luck to all of you. See you next week. On Day 23, I went ahead and put up the SCROG net. It looks like the buds are going to be heavy :-))

Stony_German Tag 28 flowering. After 3 days of recovery from heavy lollipopping, the ladies got a compost tea with delicious extra food. Greenhouse Feeding has only been active for 4 weeks, but right at this stage, an extra P+K boost is the most sensible (weeks 3, 4, 5, 6) they get organic BioTabs compost tea every weekend. The SF nematodes are starting to eat and reduce the number of fungus gnats. The yellow traps look terrible, but the number of first flight-capable ones is getting smaller. The neem oil treatment has disrupted the soil life and the nematodes, and I would say it doesn't bring enough. I wanted to try it, but only the SF nematodes will ultimately help. I also apply them once a week (3 million pack for €5). As I promised PapaNugs, I ordered Humboldt Seed Co. seeds Blueberry Muffin and Blueberry Cupcake for the next run. Until next weekend, bye.

Stony_German Tag 35 flowering. The fungus gnats have been eliminated by the SF nematodes. The P+K booster compost tea provides the needed boost, especially with the addition of organic P+K 5-8. The leaf tips show that I'm at maximum. The VPD is usually at 1.5 and the CO² at 800ppm. The smell is still so sweet with citrus - orange just as expected. Everything is on cruise control; every 2 days they get 2.5 liters per lady. The mono-silica 40% is the highest concentration I've tried, and I give it my full recommendation. The plants are so stable with an exaggeratedly thick stem; a large pair of pruning shears will be needed. AlfaBoost with the high triacontanol is also better than the other AlfaAlfa products, but it's not exactly cheap. I have to say that everything is a bit faster.

Stony_German Tag 44 flowering. Everything is on cruise control. They will get the last compost tea in a few days. Fungus gnats are all dead; I can't find a single one anymore. In the last week, the buds have formed nicely and are getting stickier. They all have the orange smell, but each one is different.

Stony_German Taag 50 Bloom. The ladies need less water, that's my cue to only use water with a little Yuccah (Wetting Agent) and once a week add a bit of sugar, and every third watering a little Great White. Now I'm keeping an eye on the temp to stay below 25°C as much as possible. Luckily, the weather is rainy and cool. My wife is already complaining that the bedroom is too cold at night, but she's also happy about the many terps. Everything is on cruise control until the end, just checking the trichomes daily from day 55. One more note, this strain is really a low feeder. One pheno shows signs of slight over-fertilization even though all three got the same. Just as a reminder. The smell is super sweet mandarin-marzipan once, the other citrus-skunky-gas, and the lady in front is like Skunk No.1 with a bit of orange.

Stony_German Tag 58 Bloom. The ladies only need 0.5 - 0.75 liters of water daily now, and only the trichomes need to mature. The first ones are starting to turn milky, which is further proof that Barneys' 55-60 days is clearly wrong as always. I'm expecting 65-70 days, which would be a more honest estimate for a Sativa-dominant cultivar. The buds are hard and have a good size. It's easy to imagine what a main cola would look like; at 100%, it would be gigantic. So many new people in Germany are starting this hobby and will harvest too early because of such breeder claims. My tip for all new growers is not to be misled by marketing claims. Right now, I'm not doing anything except trying to keep the temperature low. Oh, and I did a dry stress test and let the pots dry out properly. Growth isn't being slowed down anymore, and a little stress is always good at the end.

Stony_German Tag 64 and today I watered one last time. In 2 days, when the water is used up, the lights will go off for 24-48 hours so that I can harvest during the week. That's a good 10 days more than the minimum indicated by Barneys (55-60 days). The smell is wonderfully sweet, with an extremely terpy profile that far surpasses the others. I'm already looking forward to the first joint. The harvest report will come once the ladies have completed their 10+ days of drying. Thanks to everyone who followed this journey. Humbold Seed Co. seeds are ready, and I will plant the new Donutz (not triploid) next. Tag 66, end of LED; they will be turned off after 36 hours of continuous light and harvested after 36 hours of darkness on day 68. Trichomes are 80% milky with 10% clear and 10% amber. Since this is predominantly Sativa, I’m really satisfied. I prefer a couchlock Indica with 20% amber and almost no clear.

Stony_German Harvest day 68 and had a 9 Days Dry. Will smoke and press some Flower Rosin after cure. I smoke one from every Plant and so far the Terpy one yield 160 and is delicious Orange - Marzipan tasty dank Bud (i guess 20% THC) the big yielder at the left ist a bit less dank but more potent (i guess 22 -24% THC) And now the bad one in the front. I will not smoke her. skunky not my terp profile. If i estimate i will give her 15% THC at the max. But its the Terps i dont like so i will make some Hash Maroccan Style and get rid of the rest into my Garbage can. Of course itnow a 10 days cure but it is what it is. at the end im happy with the harvest and the 2 yummy ones. I will always be honest with my reports and my fails or succes. Sorry for my Grammar Fuck ups. I hope you get it😁😎
