Started seeds in room temp water for 24 hrs and then moved them to wet paper towel for another 24hrs before placing them in peet pellets.
This is also the scrog screens I have made.
Growth looks to be slower than I expected, but the twins always seem healthy. Increased the nutes for the last day of week 3 and lowered the light to 18".
The twins just reached the 5th node on day 6 of week 4. It was a nervous first time topping a plant but I think it went smoothly. I left all the growth below the 4th node and bent the leafs away from the center of the plant. Depending on how the respond I may remove some of the lower growth.
They look to be recovering from the topping well. New growth is starting from the topped area and the plants look healthy. New growth is looking good and growing quickly.
Growth is starting to speed up, the 2 lower growth sites have caught up to the topped ones. Drinking more water every day.They are starting to smell beautiful
The Twins are looking healthy, growing quite a bit every day. Pushed the nutes closer to 700 as I'm hoping to hit the screens this week or early next week. The lower growth is starting to grow wider and catch up to the tops. The canopy is looking great, it is getting nice and flat.
The twins are looking very healthy and the lst has made a pretty good bush. It is still a little to short to reach the scrog so I may taper off the lst.
Starting to.increase.the nutrients to see if I can increase the vertical growth.
Day 6 - I have taken all of the garden ties off to encourage more vertical growth until it hits 12" where my scrog will be.
Week 9 is here and after 2 days of allowing vertical growth they have responded well. From here until they hit the Scrog at 12" I will stop trying down branches, Hopefully I can hit the screen this week and switch to flower in a few weeks time. Day 4 - Started to defoliate underneath the canopy, not much just some leaves that were not getting much light.
Going into this week I am still struggling with vertical growth even though the twins look very healthy it is just getting bushy.
The flip is here, the twins look very healthy and a good in size. They are about 9" tall and the canopy of each is 1' x 1'
*UPDATE* After a good pruning, increasing the exhaust fan and moving some fans around I have gotten a more consistantly and good temp and rh.
Gave the Twins 24 hrs with the lights off and then made the switch to 12/12. I plan on slowly raising the ppms this week and I will continue some lst through the stretch. This strain should flower pretty quick at 57 days. I am surprised at how different they already look. Looking forward to seeing some buds in a few weeks.*update* Since starting flower my humidity has been insane, going up to 80%. I never had anything over 65% in veg so I will be adding a dehumidifier asap.
There's a couple of things that you can do: the first is to increase the exhaust and the second is to try to increase both lights on and off temperatures, as temperatures rises the rH will drop drastically. Actually low lights out temperature is the main reason for high humidity during flower lights out, so if you can heat your grow space during both lights on and off it will really help and since you have your lights on temperatures at 19°C (66°F) there's some room for improvement. Good luck
The start of this week I have backed off the lst for the most part except for a few fast growing stems. Starting to increase the ppm and they seem to be responding well. Had a RH problem at the start of flower but it has been corrected and stays in a great range.
Into week 3 of flower, the twins look healthy and are exploding with new growth. Starting to increase the ppm and amount of water they are getting. By the end of the week I hope to put in the screens I originally made to SCROG so I can use them as some trellis support in the coming weeks.
Mid last week the room started to smell a little bit damp and even though the plants looked very healthy and the RH% was on point I decided to take 3 days off from watering. It cleared up the smell and now the plants look a little underwatered but they are starting to bounce back and I am giving them less water the previous weeks.
*Update* 4 days after the flush and they look and smell great. Humidity and temp have been great and the soil is still wet, they never drooped or showed any signs of overwatering so that was great.
Late last week both plants started to show signs of what I believe to be nutrient burn so to finish off the week i eased off the nutrients and raised the light just in case. I decided to start this week with a flush, very nerve racking as it is my first time but I think it went great I got an insane 2500ppm down to around 300. Put them back in the grow room with the fans blasting and a dehumidifier and they look pretty good for now.
*UPDATE* D4 - Started the flush today with A&N Flawless Finish at 2ml per liter. 2 weeks to harvest!
Coming from last week with an early flush there doesn't seem to be any more damage appearing, I started this week with a light nutrient feeding which will bring me to the start of the 14 day flush later in this week.
Flowers are beginning to really smell great and the frost is spreading and is very sticky.
In full flush mode now as I expect to harvest late next week which would be on schedule with the breeders timeline. I decided to use a flushing agent because my ppms got out of control so I thought they needed the extra help. Keeping with the same Advanced Nutrients I gave them two waterings with Flawless Finish at 2ml per L and with go with distilled water until harvest. One plant is showing some cool purple in its leaves which is a cool surprise.
* Update * Day 4. Tricomes are looking great, it looks like a 80/20 mix of cloudy/amber so I will be harvesting soon.This is possibly the final week of flower which would follow the breeders timeline. Everything looks to be going well and I am just waiting for them to ripen up and their tricomes to start turning amber.
I have just found my new hobby. My first grow went great and I learned a lot during the process and am already planning on how to improve future grows which will start with a better light.
I was hoping for a little more on the scales but I can not complain much because the smoke is amazing, it is smooth and tasty with great effects. I think that I ended up with quality over quantity which I prefer.
In the same environment and same nutrients I was surprised to produce 2 very different looking plants. One became a beautiful purple color all over which was a nice surprise and the other on while being a little shorter it fattened up more and produced the bigger buds.
On to the next one!
