Seed germination:
- 24hours soak in water
- 48hours sit in wet paper towel
Both in dark place.
12 litre fabric pot
50% coco coir
50% soil with perlite
For vegetation phase i use 3x50W full spectrum led lamps
I'm a bit of concern about the growth, there is no stretching and it seems to me that is getting slow contrast to past weeks and other diaries i've seen at the same week of vegetation (although the diaries i've seen that have bigger and healthier plants it happens to be in hydro).
At the end of week 3 i desided to move it a litle bit further from lights to check if this will help.
I'm so excited! This week she almost achived double size and show her first "hairs".
Along with the 3x50W leds i added a 250W HPS lamp for the flowering stage.
With the adding of HPS lamp the temperature rise about 5 celsius degrees and she became very thirsty! The "nutrients day" i use tap water and all the other days i use RO water only.
My grow room has a short ceiling so i'm forced to light the plant from the sides and it seems to respond well on that!
I considering to defoliate the big leafs! Should i do it or not or maybe later?
It's a short life auto and i don't want to stress the plant too much and impact the yield.
Hi, those"new Genetics" grow fast and vigor as you already mentioned.For sure you can Tuck single Leaves that block the LIght. They can be topped and fimmed too..... but much earlier as your plant is now. Go on like now ,tuck single leaves, that block the light.
The plant starts to develops the first purple signs 👊😊
This week i did some LST to help the lower colas get some upward growth and hide the big sugar leafs with garden wire inside the cannopy to avoid defoliation and LST at the same time,i also ponytailing the central cola every night and release it every morning.
All this are just for this week, now that has the structure i want i'll remove the wires at the start of next week and i'll do some minor defoliation.
As it seems this strain probably not gonna be a big yielder but this is what you get when you choose weird auto genetics because of the beautiful photo at the seed bank site...u never know with what you gonna end😁😜
Everything's good!
I'm done with LST the previous week and all the garden wires removed, i just did a minor defoliation only!
The structure is very good now for a non topped plant but the smell is weak and i don't know if this is good or bad...
Also she purple a lot this week 😍
Everything's going well!
As it seems it will propably take up to 10 weeks to mature instead of 8 to 9 weeks that most growers going.
Tarpenes and smell evolves a lot this week😋
Most trichomes are cloudy no ambers yet although the pistils hairs turning brown.
The buds are going fatter this week!
I expect one more week for harvest👌
In the middle of this week with the first appear of yellow leaves i start flushing the plant with Flowless Finish.
No nutrients anymore,i'll keep it that way till the harvest wich gonna be sometime next week after a 48 hours of darkness first!
The buds are quite frosty with 10% amber trichomes, i prefer "milky flowers" so i don't want more than 30% ambers.
The end is near😏
This journey is over!
I'm pretty pleased with the results even though I know things could have gone better...
At the vegetation the plant didn't grow as i expecting (i think that's because i didn't have the right light spectrum at veg stage) but in flowering stage it was very impressive how the buds was gaining mass every week.
The buds are big,light and airy like a sativa plant although it suposed to be mostly an indiga strain.
The smell and the colour is fantastic😍
I did not use any boosters except from "Bud factor X" and i believe this plant need them if you want to have results over the average.
Thanks everyone for the feedback and the interest you show to my diary!!!
Happy new year to all, see you at next grow🙌
