π± GERMINATION (4 days)
Seeds in a glass of EC 0.4 tap water for 24 hours, then in root riots, in a plastic bag to keep the moisture high and under the lamp. They sprouted on day 4 from dry seed.
πΏ GROWING STAGE (4 weeks)
During the vegetative stage I used a root stimulant, as well as a classic A+B. I also tried microbial fertilizers for the first time in my setup.
The first two weeks were slower than I expected, after which the two phenotypes started to accelerate. During the 3rd week I started with some training, I removed some leaves and bent the main stems to the side. The 4th was the last week of vegetative growth, I defoliated once again and performed LST to expose as many branches as possible to the light.
Parameters:
EC value was 0.6 mS/cm during the first week and I brought it up to 1.5 mS/cm during the last week;
PH fluctuated between 5.5 and 6;
Light during veg: 75-100 watt.
πΈ FLOWERING STAGE (7 weeks)
During the transition stage, which lasted longer than I expected, I introduced: silicon, enzymes, flowering stimulator, PK, in addition to the usual root stimulants, A+B and microbial fertilizers.
During the first and third weeks (weeks 5 and 7) I dedicated myself to training: defoliation, LST and SuperCropping for both.
During the last four weeks of flowering (weeks 8-11) I simply paid attention to the PH-EC levels to provide the roots with optimal conditions. I then kept the TEMP-RH-VPD-PPFD values ββunder control, providing optimal conditions above as well.
I chopped them when the trichomes were about 90% milky and 10% amber.
Parameters:
EC value was 2 mS/cm during the first week of flowering and I brought it up to 2.3 mS/cm, before starting to dilute for the flush week;
PH ranged between 5.8 and 6.2;
Light during flo: 120-150 watt;
β HARVEST
- 77 days from germination;
- Chopped after 4 days flush, no dark time;
- Wet trim, removed fan leaves.
β DRYING STAGE
- Time: 10 days;
- Average: 24Β° C - 55% RH.
- After that I made a dry trim, removed branches and sugar leaves.
βοΈ DRY WEIGHT
- Phenotype #1: 110 gr buds + 10 gr larf;
- Phenotype #2: 70 gr buds + 20 gr larf.
So, the overall dry weight is: 180 gr buds + 30 gr larf.
β CURING STAGE
- Curing is done after 45 days with Boveda 62%.
β οΈ I can't add a Smoke Review section, so I write it here:
Curing is done after 45 days with Boveda 62%. Both phenotypes have an aroma that combines herbs and citrus with earthy notes.
About the effects, physically stone dominates, definitively!
@Qutro, thank u buddy, in about 1 month we'll have 2 plants in flowering and 2 plants in veg. The most important thing is the different light intensity!
