This journal is about a Chocolate Haze from Royal Queen Seeds. She is grown from clone which was taken from a very vigorous growing pheno. She will be grown as always in living organic soil. Homemade supersoil with different layers in the pots and spikes added, the whole will be fed various teas throughout the grow as well as foliar feeding for the plant. I will add the soil recipes at the bottom of each post as well as and the tea and foliar as it happens. She will be moved outside and transplanted in a 40L fabric pots in week 2. No training will be done on her, mother nature do your thing. So as of now she is growing very fast, too fast! She did circled the bottom of the pot 3 times in only 5 days. And so she has been moved to a larger pot and she exploded. you will see on week 2. 12/10

She is loving the size up pot! But she suddenly slowed down a little as if she filled the pot again. Day 14 : sudden spurt of growth, pretty amazing, she is still on R/O water only for now.

Well really not much to update this week... It has been raining a lot and so I haven't had to water or anything and since I am not training her, I have done absolutely nothing but watch and take pictures. She was given a basic microbial tea on day 27. --------- Tea recipe : For 1L 24ml vermicast 6ml BS molasse 0.65ml fish hydrolysate 2.5ml kelp meal 0.65 Soft Rock Phosphate

Day 29 - 10/11 - She was given a Sprouted seed tea. I think she liked it. Day 31 - 12/11 - She is reacting well to the tea, she is starting to grow really fast. Day 35 - 16/11 - She has grown 18 cm in 4 days ! Not bad. She was watered again today. As always plain tap water. Day 36 - 17/11 - After measuring her and writing "18cm in 4 days" I though to myself thats seems like a lot... Let me make sure so I don't lie. And so today 20 hours later I measured her again and she now stands at 71 cm...An extra 5cm in less than a day... And so 18cm is confirmed. Alright so this sudden amazing growth of 5cm was in fact the stretch 😂! I thought it was quite a lot of growth so suddenly. It is quite strange though it is not the flowering season yet where i am yet.... But all my plants that were mature have started flowering... Quite strange. I am considering adding a light outside to try and re-veg them but I am not sure it is the best decision. They already have a decent enough size and there is so many of them I might just let nature take its course. What do you guys reckon ? ---------- Sprouted seed tea : 1.5g alfalfa seeds/L 3g of Barley seeds/L or 7.5g malted barley flour/L 3g of corn seeds/L 3g of cannabis seeds/L 1. Measure ammount ie 50g 2. Soak in water for 24h 3. Drain and put in cloth, rest for 24h ( Ideally you want your seeds to weigh double after step 2.) 4. Ready when sprouts are about the length of the seed, if not repeat step 2 and 3 5. put in blender with a little water and puree it. 6. Puree can be frozen into cubes for further use. 7. Add in you total ammount of water and drench soil or foliar feed.
