The seedling song : LITTLE BIG – SKIBIDI
-------
Hello Bros and welcome to my new and 1st diary from my Run #7. This time I decided to grow some Candy caramelo from Zambeza seeds so it will be my 1st time growing this strain and my 1st time with a Zambeza seed 😁✌️
Let's get it started and see how it turns out
-------
Day 0 - 28.11 First day in the water , only one seed has been selected for that run
-------
Day 1 - 02.14 - 4 days ( 3 in terms of hours ) after she's in her pot ready to ride ✌️🏼
Day 10 - The girl is growing slowly. Due to what ? I think it's because of my Led light which is a bit high and not really effective in vegetation stage so she is now under 110w if turbo neon.
-------
Day 12 - 14.12 - She needs extra care, something does slow her down so I will transplant her into a 3L pot with a soil mixed with Mr.B's Green trees Growth to create a super soil to provide all her nutrition needs without stressing her with a mineral fertilizer.
-------
Day 14 -Last day of the week and she's doing better under the FL than under the led.
Next week will be the transplant week 😁✌️🏼
Day 17 - 19.12 - The girl have been transplanted in a 3L pot with fresh pre fertilized soil ( the same I used in my run #5) so she will not need to be feed until the next transplant.
She is really growing better under that FL light 😁✌️🏼
Day 22 - You can see on the pictures that she has been slightly over watered but She's definitely on her track now.
The shape is short and bushy : typically what you can expect from an FL blue light. The secondaries are already nice and makes me think that a 1st (and last) topping is about to come soon.
The roots are already hitting the bottom of a pot so it is time for the 2nd transplant in a 7L pot (last pot will be a 10L)
-------
Day 26 - 28.12 - Transplanted to a 7L pot way after I should have done it so let's hope she'll settle quickly to allow me to transplant her a last time in 10L pot.
The transplant were done with recycled soil from my previous Medi bomb #1 grow that I enriched with some Mr.B's Growth powder direct into the soil to give her a little boost.
Day 31 - You can clearly see the light burnt on the top leaves 😒 she is recovering nicely but she'll keep that Scared face.
The roots are trying to find a way out so she need her last transplant and she need it soon so the 10L pot will follow quickly after that update.
No feeding since the Mr.B's growth from the last transplant. The next transplant will be done with 1 tea spoon of Growth and 1 table spoon of Bloom straight in the soil.
Day 39 - During the past days I transplanted the Candy caramelo in a 10L pot to prepare her for the flowering stage.
She get feed with 2 tea spoon of Mr.B's Growth and 1 Tea spoon of Mr.B's Bloom straight into the soil so the next feeding should be done after the stretch.
I tried to FIM her but I missed my fim and she's only topped.
The colour is nice : dark green
She is now outside of the veg box so the flowering will start soon , induced by the change of light schedule : I noticed that an autoflower grown under 18/6 during the 1st month is switching faster to flowering when I change the light schedule to 12/12
Day 44 - The stretch is pretty good with than stain , I did not really spot the day She started to grow vertically but since she get tall.
No need to feed since I mixed the nuts with the soil. No runoff neither to keep the nutrients around the roots.
The 1st pistils are visible on every tops 😍
The colour is an healthy green , not too dark and not too clear neither. The trunk is solid and strong.
Day 50 - The vertical stretch is done and the girl is now focusing on buds production , many pistils are blowing on the buds sites.
No feeding , just water.
The shape is nice, a bit tall but nice. The stems and the trunk are strong but the space between the nodes is too high : I suppose that it is due to the 12/12 light schedule.
Day 57 - 28.01 - This week has been nice for the candy caramelo , 1st it started with a feeding with some hybrids powder and calcium at 1.67 Ec to give her a boost for ghe next days od flowering
Then 2 days later and after a heavy rain I have her 1 tea spoon of Mr.B's Bloom ( organic powder feeding ) to take advantage of the rain to help for releasing the nutrients.
I need to check her height but she is tall , I can already bet on something around 1m /1.10m. The trunk and stems are solid 👍and I feel like she don't care about the wind due to her big roots that maintain her straight in every situation.
She is starting to pack a nice bunch of buds so it is the time to remove the little popcorn to let the bigger one get even bigger 💣
--------
Day 62 - Since last week she get feed every time she get watered and I can't spot any kind of excess so I will continue like that until I can see at least the lips of the leaves starting to slightly burn and then she will receive water , I always feed on the low range so this time I'm experimenting an incresment 😎
Song of the week : Konshens - Basseline
-------
Day 65 - The lady is always thirsty 😲 every days she needs at least 2 or 3 litre of water and she also seems to take the 1.67Ec at each watering like if it wasn't strong enough for her.
She's 2 cm away from beeing 1m tall so I bet she would have been bigger without my missed Fiming attempt.
She's finally starting to smell and like sweet and caramel : a sweet caramel 😄
-------
Day 69 - 09.02 - Feeding with 10g hybrids powder , 8g of calcium and 5g of PK boost for a final Ec of 1.8
Song of the week : Assassin - Something's gotta give ( city life riddim )
----------
Day 71 - She's a beast 😲 now that she get tall she is making every efforts possible to get big buds.
I might not stop to feed her with every watering until she show a sign of over feeding because it seems that hers needs are higher than many photoperiodic strains I grew 👍
Day 79 - 19.02 - The weather is playing tricks , one day it rain all day , the next day the sun is hot then the day after it rain in the morning and get warm in the evening and with all these changes the RH is crazy.
I had a little under watering issue quickly fixed
The buds are swelling but they are still producing a lot of white pistils, from what I can see I she will be a late bloomer
-------
Day 84 - She received 2 or 3L of plain water today , one more then I finish her with a high PK nutrient mix for 1 week to 10 days before a 10 day flush so she might be ready to cut around day 104.
Some pistils are starting to be brown after the past weeks high production.
Day 87 - After 2 watering with plain water I feeding heavy than ever with a 2.28 Ec bit I wasn't able to manage for an higher Ec than 6.1.
She is swelling nicely , the calyxes are looking like bubbles but I whish rhey could swell more , but hey the PK boost is here for a reason 😋
Day 93 - And the flush is starting 😁 The buds are pretty nice at that stage , trichomes are shining , leaves are yellowing and buds are swelling
The bud structure is beautiful, each calyxes are looking like a bubble
The smell is nice too
Day 96 - 08.03 - I'm starting to get a bit scared about the RH and the kind of problems it can bring in late flowering, I had to cut 4 of the main bud yesterday as I was suspecting an incoming issue... now that the rain joined the party I think I will harvest earlier than expected : No big deal as the trichomes are ready but I will not reach my 105 days goal
I 1st want to thank the Zambeza team for giving me the opportunity to try this strain.
The reasons why I choose this strain are simple , the caramel / caramelo indicas strains are very popular in Spain such as the critical could be ( maybe less than the critical ) , it is also a indica dominant ( so a stone effect was expected) and a fast flowering strain.
I never taught that this auto would have provided me my better yield with a single auto plant ( yeah I know , it's not the highest one but hey , I'm flowering under 12/12 so 6h less than a regular auto light schedule ).
The taste is good , unusual to me even if it reminding me of some others weeds I've smoke , I can't identify which one it was , anyway I'm happy with it ! And the smell is deep , so deep that it will be hard to hide a bud in a zip bag if it isn't a smell proof one.
Nothing is stealth about the smell , during the grow and also when you'r smoking on a fatty ( or a skinny )
During the grow it can takes ( it will takes ) a lot of nutrients and a high amount of them but a quick flush will be enough as the plant is literally sucking everything she can.
The potency of that strain is equal to a photo periodic strain , it is the kind of weed that will surprised you by her ability to turn you into a sleepy dummy
Super harvest , my best yield with an auto strain and what a stain !! This is an auto that will break you down like a photo periodic strain , maybe less long lasting but clearly equally potent
@deadstockgenetics,Thank you for the follow amigo. Cool you get the same strain , I would also like to see you grow when you'll start it so don't hesitate to tag me bro 😁✌️ I hope this one will turn nice 🌱
@ArucambaAutoflowers297, Thank you for your encouragement bro 😊🌱 I bet you will be pleased by this strain during the summer , I only have 12h or sun a day and she's became strong and tall with only that so I can't imagine how big she could turn with a long days summer 😁
She looks heavy in the sativa. Nice plant! I love sativa. I just don't like the time it takes to flower them. They usually adjust well to weather changes though
@Wicked_Stix, Yeah bro but strangely the buds are indica to me , I feel like the thin leaves are more due to the ruderalis trait than the sativa one as the leaves can be very thin
@ChefDan420, Haha bro I have made a little batch with a bit of oil and it was awesome but hey don't ever think that the first one did not hit you because you already done
... it's just a matter of time
Discrete is a good thing 🆒 I am on the other side of the spectrum- the exhaust/carbon filter took a shit yesterday and the smell is not so discrete 😟 I moved girls around until I correct. Happened in “Candy’s” 🏕️tent and she is a really frosty ☃️ stinky 👃🏻bitch💃
@ChefDan420,I'll go check your grow today , I feel like these last month I've been around GD just to update my diaries so now that I've more free time I'll be cheking my mates grows. I never was able to correctly hide the smell of my tent when I was an outdoor grower , I even loose a girl friend like this , she told me something like : choose between you tent and me , my answer was quick & short : pack your stuffs and let's be friend 😆
