RQS Julio 2018

JardineroCannabico Stems are somewhat spindly and weak, they need support to avoid falling over. Painkiller XL strain has a weaker stem, they tend to fall. The light started at 30 cm from the pot and on the sixth day it was raised 4 cm to maintain a distance from the lamp between 28 and 30 cm.

JardineroCannabico The week started with a watering exclusively with Bio Heaven, and in the third watering, Bio Grow and Bio Heaven were applied.

JardineroCannabico The fifth node begins to emerge and apical pruning is applied (day 15). In the Painkiller XL strain, leaves with deformities appear (day 19). Some plants continue to have weak stems and guides are maintained.

JardineroCannabico Guiding apical shoots to equalize growth (day 22). Leaf deformation continues in the Painkiller XL plants, and one with a very weak stem is falling under the weight of the leaves, continuing to guide the main shoot. Some leaves have slightly burnt tips; for safety, to prevent over-fertilization, Bio Grow is reduced to 1ml/L.

JardineroCannabico Lower leaves are starting to discolor (day 30), assumed to be due to lack of light from the upper foliage. 4 leaves showing signs of biting pests on two plants (day 34). Painkiller XL leaves with deformation are not increasing in number and the deformed leaves continue to grow normally. Leaf trimming is applied and side LED lighting is reinforced (day 35). Bacillus Thuringiensis is applied foliarly at a dosage of 4 ml/L (day 35). From the leaf trimming, a lower thinning is done and cuttings are taken.

JardineroCannabico Two dead caterpillars are found and no new leaves with bites are detected (day 36). Bacillus thuringiensis is applied for the second time, 4ml/L. The pots are rearranged inside the indoor (day 39).

JardineroCannabico Transplanting is done to an 11-liter pot. A substrate with a higher percentage of coconut fiber than peat is used to fill the pots (day 1). Lighting changes to a 400W high-pressure sodium. Plants are moved from an 80x80 Home Box indoor to a 100x100 Home Box indoor, configuration changes to: Carbon filter -> Cooltube -> 100mm extractor -> 150mm extractor.

JardineroCannabico A Painkiller XL and an Amnesia Haze are taking a slower growth pace, they need to be lifted to match the height of the plants (day 9). Some petioles, on all the plants, are turning reddish and the lower leaves are starting to discolor from the tips and between the veins (day 14).

JardineroCannabico Español: Peciolos y tallos con coloración rojiza aumentan, sobre todo en la parte superior, al igual que hojas con decoloración, se diagnostica posible deficiencia de nitrógeno (día 18). Se calcula la distancia internodal de los 10 cm superiores del ápice principal de cada planta, se promedia al rededor de 1,8 cm entre nodo y nodo (día 19). La mayoría de las plantas presentan síntomas de deshidratación dos días después del riego (día 21). English: Petioles and stems with reddish coloration increase, especially in the upper part, as well as leaves with discoloration, possible nitrogen deficiency is diagnosed (day 18). The internodal distance of the upper 10 cm of the main apex of each plant is calculated, averaging about 1.8 cm between node and node (day 19). Most plants show dehydration symptoms two days after watering (day 21).

JardineroCannabico At the beginning of the week, the plants showed signs of early dehydration, so the watering frequency was increased. Some discolored lower leaves were removed. The light is raised, and the pots are rearranged inside the indoor.

JardineroCannabico At the beginning of the week, a review of the root bread is conducted, showing no problems, with no pests, plagues, or diseases detected. Signs of a possible nitrogen deficiency continue. Bio Grow is increased by 2ml.

JardineroCannabico The signs of nitrogen and potassium deficiency persist, so the fertilization of both minerals is increased. Additionally, one centimeter of substrate is removed and 2 centimeters of worm humus is added, along with 200 ml of red guano. By the end of the week, the reddish petioles and the discoloration of the foliage are reduced.

JardineroCannabico Signs of nitrogen and potassium deficiency disappear completely. Flower growth looks good and signs of early dehydration are also reduced, maintaining a lower water stress.

JardineroCannabico The plants are flowering normally, except for one bud that is maturing seeds. A review of all the buds was done and no signs of seeds were seen in more flowers. Starting this week, fertilizing will stop for root flushing.

JardineroCannabico All the plants are still in good condition.

JardineroCannabico Last week of cultivation, the watering volume is increased. Painkiller XL is packed with trichomes and more resinous, Special Kush #1 has a lower trichome production, while the Amnesia Haze has a strong smell and more trichomes than Special Kush and fewer than Painkiller XL.

JardineroCannabico In this grow, I innovated by automating the environmental conditions with the help of a Xiaomi smart home system. When it comes to growth speed and vigor, this change was evident, especially during the vegetative stage.

JardineroCannabico With this strain, I made medicinal oil using the Rick Simpson method. Patients who have used it have shown a notable decrease in pain and an uplift in mood. All the patients using this strain are those with rheumatological osteoarthritis and associated ailments.

JardineroCannabico Proportionally, the harvest of Special Kush #1 had the most moisture in the buds, significantly decreasing the weight after drying.
