First-time grower here.
I'm attempting to grow with minimal materials, without using a a grow box, inside my bathroom. The bathroom lacks a window, ensuring it remains 100% dark without lights, and it has a fan/ventilation system running 24/7.
I've improvised a makeshift tent using a cardboard box. Eventually, I plan to remove the pot from the tent, leaving it in the bathroom by itself.
My strategy involves maintaining a 12/12 light cycle as soon as the plant enters the vegetation mode. The goal is to have a small plant and harvest it as quickly as possible. I understand this may not be the most efficient use of resources, but I need to complete the harvest before the end of March, and a larger plant is not feasible.
My soil is BioBizz - Dutch Origins - All Mix - World Wide Organics
Fertiliser: Biotabs Organic Slow-Release (2 tablets)
Day 1 - 09/01 - Germination on paper
Day 3 - 11/01 - Transplanted seed to pot
Started Light cycle 18/24
Watering 50 - 100ml per day
Day 5 - 13/01 - Sprout
Day 9 - 17/11 - Plant is 10 cm tall, but very thin
Day 10 - 18/11 - I relocated the light from a 60cm distance to a 40cm distance from the plant. Despite no increase in height, the plant began developing a new set of leaves. I suspect that the previous lighting arrangement may not have been best for the plant's growth.
Day 30 - 07 February
The plant continues to grow under 12/12 light, producing many new little branches, and it is beginning to flower. I removed a few large leaves that were obstructing the small flowering branches from receiving light.
Day 36
13/02/2024
The plant is flowering nicely. I tried some LST on the lower stems and trimmed a few fan leaves that were blocking the light on the lower part.
This girl is growing super nicely. She was already 60 cm tall and almost touching the light. I tried doing some Low Stress Training (LTS) at the top canopy, and surprisingly, she reacted very well. Now, all the buds are growing at the same height. Additionally, I performed a little defoliation and removed all fan leaves that were blocking the light.
Day 50 - 27/02/2024
This plant won’t stop growing! I had to defoliate a lot of the lower branches and also removed a few popcorn buds on the lower part that weren’t developing nicely.
You should look at the breeder information on the flower time. If it says 65 days feel free to chop around that day. If you have a jewlers loop or micro scope if the tricombs are white with few amber that's when it's ready to harvest. But generally most indica's finish between 8 and 9 weeks. Don't forget to stop feeding 2 weeks prior to chop. If you are using bottled nutrients you'll want to do this. But if organic then there is no need. Good luck.
Hey there,
You can checkout this info at the breeders website or even here on growdiaries when you klik on your strain in your diary
For your ladies they recommend 60-65 day’s of flowering
Now I count from the day I see my first buds,not from the flip to 12/12
Mostly this means around 14 day’s extra so let’s say around 74-79 days till harvest from flip so you still got 5-6 weeks to go at the minimum
Hope this was helpful
Happy growing 🌱✌️
Day 57 - 05 March
The plant is drinking a little less water, bottom leaves are turning yellow, buds are getting thicker. The first pistils are turning brown
Day 64 - 12 March
The plant has stopped growing. It’s drinking less water. The flowers are getting thicker.
Pistils are starting to brown, trichomes are starting to become cloudy.
However, a lot of leaves are turning yellow/brown. I wonder if there’s anything wrong...
Day 71 - 19 March
A mix of milky and translucent trichomes, with a few brown ones in some buds. Buds keep getting thicker. I smoked a small popcorn I harvested yesterday. Even though it dried badly using the microwave, it has a great head high. I'm very excited.
Very potent. Effects lasted for more than 5 hours after one vaping session (PAX 3).
Initial high is cerebral. Enjoy listening to music and cleaning the house. Aftereffects include a body high and sleepiness. Caused a slight feeling of anxiety.
