Kaboom

The growth has begun for this little one. She sits in a half solo cup, inside our humidity chamber, inside our climate-controlled grow box, with a few low-wattage LED bars.

Week 2 has finished, and she is finally starting to grow a bit after being transplanted into a 1L pot this week. Our new growing environment is still being tweaked, but these plants are resilient, and we are in no rush. In no time, she will be transplanted into her final home.

She certainly took root this week, as the phytosphere is flourishing. She gets topped tomorrow (next week), and transplanted into her final home soon thereafter.

We're through with week 4, and as mentioned last week, she was topped at the start of this week. She is already starting to look much nicer after also being transplanted into a 7-gallon section of a fabric raised bed/pot, in a new growing environment with better lighting.

Her new tops from last week's topping are filling in nicely. This is going to be a nice and compact bush, it seems.

Welcome to week 6 of Kannabia "Kaboom!" We had to add the exclamation mark after this cultivar, because it is proving to be another exemplar of Kannabia's great plant morphology in their genetics. The plant structure as far as compactness and how well it bushed out from a single topping is impressive, without a leaf telling us something is wrong. We'd like to see what the blooming hormones due to her petite stature within the next couple of weeks, because mid week this week, she was flipped to bloom. This plant, and the 5 other plants in this tent are going under a small experiment: we are going to be flowering them at 11 on/13 off. There are several reasons why one might want to increase the night cycle during bloom, and we would like to see which ones of those are brought out by the 5 different genotypes. Let the inflorescence commence.

We stopped defoliating everything in this tent at the end of this week. It's a jungle in there. We never grew in a full tent-sized raised bed before, so this is quite interesting to watch them all grow together, fighting for the light. Just letting this one grow naturally until the finish line, adding water as needed, along with our weekly organic foliar spray to prevent fungus.

Massive defoliation/lollipopping out of PM fear and more waiting.

Week 2 of bloom went kaboom! She had a bit of PM this week, that had us very worried, but we have been applying our organic fungicide and pH adjustment every day rather than weekly, and it vanished quickly before flower formation. We will continue forward and laugh our mistakes off.

Well, that's a month of bloom down, and I must say, she seems the most developed and the stinkiest of them all...and somehow...the shortest. I like this plant a lot. I like it better without PM on it too :) The first 2 weeks of flower were scary, but luckily, I got that under control before the calyxes started piling. It was a pretty boring week as usual. I just water them every couple of days, and mist them with a foliar spray to adjust the leaf surface pH to help against anymore unwanted guests.

Just beautiful. No issues. Getting very close (remember, we are blooming with 13 hours of darkness)!

I never got around to updating this diary when I chopped her 6 weeks ago, as I had 8 other plants to take care of. Sorry about that. But, she's all dried and cured now, and looking pretty frosty!
