This projekt will be to find a mother i can use in the future if im happy with the growing in veg i will just take the chance and choose the best one and hope it will be as good in bloom as it would have been in veg. I know its not the right way to find the best possible mother, but as long as i can get a stable plant like this strain as a mother i will be happy.. With 8 plants at the moment and i will get more seeds because Seedstockers were kind enough to send me extra seeds after some bad luck, im sure i will find what im looking after! They are currently under a Led grow light but will soon be under 400w MH or Dualspectrum.. They are in a 1,2m x 1,2m tent.
Peace out
How long can i wait with transplanting in those small pots, they are in now? :) And which type of pot sizes would u recommend for me? My final pot will be a 15L Gronest Breathlife, its like an airpot.. Thanks and happy growing :)
I would leave them in those containers for the next little bit , A good way to tell when its time to transplant is looking at the plant and seeing how tall it is and how much foliage covers the top of the square pot . Once you see the plant it getting taller like second or third node and you're noticing the plant mass is starting to cover the whole top of your pot I would say its time to transplant . You're going to want to remember that what ever you see on the top plant wise is exactly the same amount of mass your going to see as roots and the same height as well so if your plant is 6 inches tall then the root mass is 6 inches long if its 5 inches wide on top then your root mass is 5 inches wide on the bottom in your medium . It's also really important to do the least amount of transplanting as possible to reduce the amount of stress your plant will receive from transplants . So my suggestion to you is to wait until your plant has grown a bit and gained some mass then transplant it into a 5 gallon pot or what ever the final home would be . You're in great shape . I hope this information helps you understand when to transplant your ladies as well as the importance of doing it the least amount of times as possible in order to prevent unwanted stresses -Happy Growing!
So ive germinated some more and i now have 20 Seedlings! I ran out of pots, but now i can see if there is a difference in grow. The biggest pot is 14L and the smallest maybe 0.5L and the medium is around 1l i think..
Again this is a projekt to find the best phenotype for my motherplant, the rest i will just flower in about 3-4 weeks i think. :)
They are currently 5 to 11cm long.. 8 of them are a week ahead but they were slow in the start so maybe it wont be able to tell.. Im burying the stem a little bit when i transplant to give a little more stabillity to the plant.. i also changed from LEd 150w to 400w MH
Working, trying to get them all transplanted.. I have Topped one maybe to early but to see the difference, i have also F.I.M one, and LST on some others, just to try different tenniques..
They are in different pots and i may end up keeping a couple of the best ones as motherplants instead of only one, but the rest will go into flower, when my autoflower grow is done :)
Peace out!
I have been training them quite alot and also topped and Fimmed most of them.. They are looking great so far and is really bushing out.. They will be ready to bloom as soon as my autoflower grow is done.. I have taken two of those small ones from week 3 and placing them in 12 hours darkness in a closet, so they can start blooming, but i have never tried to move the plants by hand to give them their 12 hours darkness, what should i be aware of ? :)
Also i changed from mh 400w to LED with only the Veg button on cause im in no hurry :)
Happy growing to y'all

When manually doing the light cycle by moving the plants Its important to not shock the plant with vastly different temperatures, but obviously the most important thing is to NOT FORGET THE MOVE THEM! As long as the Temperature and RH of the two rooms are near similar these plants are healthy enough to start mothering. If you have any more questions just ask away 😎
Last week in Veg for these girls.. I will keep two or something to use as mother plants.. If you have any suggestion to which i should choose please let me know :D I will just take the chance with the 2-3 plants i like most, the rest will go into flower next week. :)
Im flushing them all right now because they may have got a little to much N, but i will soon go back to my schedule:

Also i added more watts for the last week of veg so now its 400w.. Started out with 100 watt, then 250 now 400w :)
Happy growing and sorry for pics, i will update when i have time
Trying to keep the height down, looking forward to try photoperiods and curious about how tall they will strecth.. I try to lst them and have the right light distance to help prevent to much stretch. Im hoping i can cover all the space under the lights with about 5 plants in a 1 m2 space under 3 different lights.. Also i choosed which plants i wanted to keep in veg but again its not the best pic even using sunglasses
Very good progress this week! Ive done a ton of training on these just to keep the height down. Now they are alot more bushy but at the same time some of the best ones grew 15cm on 7days 😱😁
A few is showing some small deffiencies but i think i got it under control.. Now i just hope it will continue this good :)
Give some likes and i will make a video for the next week, where it should be very lush :D

trying to follow my schedule as you can see there ^. Im using Alcamic in some waters just to give them something, but i will soon stop with it for this time, since i think its better in veg and start bloom. Its day 21 and week 4 in Flower begins! 🙏😊
Stretching has stopped, and they are now focusing on growing buds! 🙏 They eat alot! But i try not to give them to many nutes while not giving too little at the same time and thats hard with so many different phenos. Anyway i think it will be my best harvest yet if i get to that point which i hopefully do! :)
Peace out!
This will be the last week with nutes i think.. After that i will just give water with the right ph. They are feeding like crazy as you can see on the bottom leaves of some of the plants.. So they are already using its own reserves, which is fine with me.. I think im about 20-21 days away from Harvest.. But sooner for the small ones.. Im very pleased with the results until now :)
I have a pretty low humidity when lights is on at around 38%, but at night it can go up to 67%, is it a problem? I have thought about buying a dehumidifier but do i need it?
Hi @TheGreenFingers! We've all experienced high humidity at night, because when the lights are off the air remains wet and plants tend to sweat more at night. In a few words, yes it could become a problem, especially during late flowering when your buds are becoming fat & compact, there is a risk of mold/bud-rot. I was running through the same issue until I bought an electric dehumidifier. It's an investment (100~300$) but it will probably prevent your crop from rottening and save you months of hard labour. Plus, resin & terpenes tend to develop better in a low relative humidity environment, this is the other reason why we all want to decrease the RH during the late flowering stage. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊
Last week! Im flushing! Its been a great ride until now.. Im a little concerned about high humidity when the lights is off (its around 68% in night) but other than that, this is a strain i wo uld recommend and im diffently going to grow these ones again, i hope. There is one Mom on the picture i just put in flower and an autoflower but you can just ignore those;) Peace and love
I have harvested the small ones btw, those are the ones outside the tent in the pictures
Hi @Scandinavia! Nothing in particular but this must be time consuming! Also, make sure your two environments are quite the same: same RH, same temps, same airflow. May I ask why you want only 3 plants to bloom, and what you're going to do with them once they will enter into flowering stage? Keep us up-to-date, and happy growing 👊
@Stick, Hey, Stick. Its because my flowerroom is on 24h right now because im running an auto run.. So i cant go down to 12 before those are harvested. Also i needed space in my Veg tent so instead of just throwing two or three good plants away , i want to try bloom them "manually" :D yes it will be time consuming, but i do have the time at the moment because im sick :) My question was really if i needed to have the dark space with an airflow or if i can just put them in there every 12 hour.. I know its gonna get tricky with the height and all that, but if i can get a little something out of it, it would be amazing :) I will update for sure, and please help if you have any you would like to add :) Thanks for your help
@The_Projexx,
Good to hear bro! I bought a new digital timer, so hopefully they wont break again, but you never know with those :D Thanks for the help and all :)
@Scandinavia, You're fine man worse case thats going to happen is you're plant will have stunted in growth adding abit more time to the over all cycle . If it was left on for a couple days I would maybe be advising differently but nothing to be worried about my friend . You're going to be rocking and rolling in no time . Just try and make sure that does not happen again .
@The_Projexx,This is the grow im talking about :) Im in week 2 of flower and my light didnt turn of so instead of 12 hours sun, it got about 15 hours.. It only happened one day, and i just gave them 12 hours of darkness when i found out and then procedded with my light scedule, so they did only recieve around 8,5 hours of light because my mistake the day before
@Scandinavia, They are young enough that it should be ok to put them back to 12 and 12 sometimes things happen nature isnt always precise either :P Just small things to look for , I would see if you were late into flower or if it went on for a longer period of time . But if it was just one day then you're fine :)
I hope this information helps you on you're quest .
-Happy Growing!
Happy new year my friend! Your grow is looking fantastic and healthy and I wish you best in this next year growing some amazing plants and yielding yourself large amounts of bud. Cheers!
hey man you should take your time to pick the mothers. basically you're looking for vigorous plants, the bushier the better, the bigger the better, and of course you're looking for that x-factor, something from the strain that stands out and the mother does well , for example a short flower time or a large flower volume for the BCN XXL , good luck with the pheno hunt ! 🚀
