Some more CBD is on the menu for me -- this time VCDC F3 by Moxie 710! We just germinated them in my base peat/perlite mix. We didn't even use a humidity dome. They popped right up after the first day, and here they are on day 2. These are feminized photoperiodic seeds. For now, we'll let them establish a bit more, and then we will transplant them.

Not much growth this week. We're going to plant one into a raised bed, and keep the other in the solo cup as a backup.

Day 11: This seedling, as well as its backup sister, were not growing, and didn't have true leaves until about 2 days ago -- just cotyledon. This one finally formed some true leaves, although it is incredibly short and hugging the ground. The backup plant in a solo cup is not any better: in fact, it's worse, looking pretty damn deformed. These seeds were a year old and not stored the most efficiently, so I am not upset. I actually transplanted this one into my 45-gallon raised bed last week to try to get it in a better environment with better soil to try to help it along. I think that helped, but, I made a mistake. The bed was originally intended for 2 cultivars, and one never germinated, so we replaced it with this one. The mistake was, that other cultivar was an autoflower, so, our 45-galon bed now has 1 autoflowering and one photoperiodic CBD strain growing in it. To combat this situation, I intend to mainline and train this one low for as long as the autoflowering cultivar is flowering, only then letting it grow upwards, where we will ScrOG it for flowering. So, in the end, this tiny little runt may indeed become the monster nature intended it to become. Time will tell. Day 12: I made a LAB serum and performed a drench and foliar spray of the bed today. It's a first time making LABs, and we had a lot of cheese. We'll see how it goes. I preserved about a gallon of it split between being refrigerated and stored with molasses. Day 14: It's easier for me to end the week at the end of the week, so the plant is a little older than 14 days, but it's a pain to update several plants throughout the week, so I'm calling this the end of the week to align it with actual weeks.

D15: Well, it turns out these 2 seeds that I planted were not Cannatonic by Resin seeds. The source I got them from labeled the bags as such but I just found out we are instead working with VCDC F3 by Moxie 710. One of the parents is a cutting of Cannatonic, mixed with Viper City OG, a cultivar with a lot of Kush in its lineage. I went and updated the previous weeks and title to reflect the new name. If you noticed, I said 2 seeds, but there is only 1 plant here. The other one was placed outdoors in my other diary -- go check out some of my outdoor grows :D It's starting to grow a bit now, although crazy small internodal distance. This should be interesting. I watered her with a mycorrhizal fungi solution to strengthen that process. We're trying a new myco solution that includes some other amendments such as biochar, EWC, and more. I look forward to seeing the progress she makes by next weekend. D21: Well, this plant has such short internodes, and the leaves seem to be growing any which way they please, in a not very normal diploidal fashion. I carefully inspected her, as she is still hugging the ground with a 3 or 4 sets of nodes -- literally leaves laying on top of each other with no gaps. It turns out, the top-most set of leaves came in a pack of 4 -- from the same node site. This mutant is surprising me. I've had several triploids before, but never a quadploid in a couple decades. Interesting!

Well, she's still hugging the ground, at 1 inch tall after 4 weeks of growth. She is a runt and a mutant, with an excessive case of polyploidy. Her other tent-mate, in my Purplematic CBD diary, is overtaking the tent, about to begin flowering. I am unsure if this VCDC plant will remain in this bed. It all depends on how much room the other plant needs. I did not expect this plant to be so short this late in growth, and it is getting difficult to not shroud her light. If need be, we will transplant her outdoors in the coming days.

In week 5, she finally decided to grow a bit, from 1 inch to 5 inches tall. I think a lot has to do with competition -- her tent-mate is just starting to flower, and shadowing her quite a bit, so she is trying to find that precious light. We are going to keep her in this bed regardless, and let her compete. She is looking kind of funky with all those polyploidal leaves. We have not trained her or defoliated her one bit yet.

We have continued to do no training and just let her grow while the other plant that towers over her flowers for a few more weeks. We applied an epsom salt drench this week because the other plant in the bed seemed to need it. We'll just let this one grow un-managed for a few more weeks, before flipping the lights to bloom.

This week was pretty rough for all of my gardens, indoor and outdoor. We had a heat wave in the triple digits (Fahrenheit) all week, with humidity over 90% outdoors. Keeping my indoor lung rooms under control, and thus internal tent temperatures, was difficult, to say the least. There were times when my tents were 90F or slightly higher, with an average of about 86F the whole week. Some tents (and even outdoor plants) did not like that at all. However, this little one seemed to only be slightly affected with some leaf curling mid-week, but also grew quite a bit this week. We finally reached the ScrOG net this week!

I didn't get to sample this, or see it grow to its full potential, so I gave it a medium rating. See week comment below for details.

I "harvested" this, and by that I mean I killed it. It took a turn for the worse last week, with a bunch of symptoms I didn't like, such as drooping leaves, fragile foliage and branches resulting in falling off leaves and easy to break lateral branching, and a yellowing of foliage. This was caused by a trifecta of problems: 1) A week ago we had a severe heat wave, and it got much too hot for her. 2) The other plant in the bed needed a magnesium supplement, but it was too much for this plant. 3) The VPD was very high for her liking, as it has been ramping up for the other flowering autoflower in the bed. She didn't seem to be drinking, as her lower leaves were completely dead (brown, shriveled up, and crispy). I waited a week before I decided to just rip her out of the soil, and in doing so, I noticed her root ball was very tiny. I think I made the right call, to give more room and nutrients to the other plant, about half way through blooming now. I really do not mind sacrificing this plant, as it is for the better good. We have another one of this one, also a runt, that is growing outdoors, anyway. The attached pictures were taken during week 8 of vegetation.

I wish you also a happy grow. :) The Cannatonic is on my Seeds2Buy - List. I planted a L.A. Ultra from Resin Seeds a few days ago, which will be the first strain from them i grow.

bro can i ask why you don't feed plants any nutrients? i mean you are doing this for a reason i know that but what reason?
resi_max
resi_maxcommented8 months ago
@Grower_Of_Persia, I use a living soil. That is, everything is already present in the soil. This is more efficient than using chelated minerals. The microbiota of the soil convert the nutrients in the soil into plant digestible nutrients, and help them to absorb it. Additionally, all nutrients can be made at home, using plant and mineral-derived inputs, so it is very cost-effective. More, liquid nutrients or salts kill the beneficial elements of a good soil, and damage the environment. Finally, the end result tastes better. Basically, I do use nutrients, but my soil inputs produce them throughout the entire grow, naturally.

Poxy heatwaves. I hate my summers. All my grows finishing up by early July. Just too hot for growing. I used co2 last Yr to combat it. Never again. Way too much work. GL hope they pick up for you.

@AstroBoy, my head is high, as this didn't affect me one bit. I'm more focused on the other plant in that bed (and my other gardens). I guess we can blame @love_2_grow haha, jk. The plant left in the bed is from a seed swap with them, and it's more fun to think that the plant that I ripped out was killed by the fumigation of terpenes. It absolutely stinks like citrus in that tent, and the poor little one couldn't breathe! Hahaha
