First week - Germination.
All seeds soaked in a small plastic cup (pictured) for around 15 - 20 hours - cups stored in darkness in wardrobe. Seeds then placed directly in final 10 litre pot filled with Bio Bizz "Light Mix" soil.
First time growing Seedstockers seeds.
Just like the Kmintz, two successfully germinated and the third one didn't. These were the only two casualties first time around,
I didn't take any photos for the first 4 weeks of the grows this year, so the images start from week 4 onwards.
Only used Bio Bizz 'Root Juice' for the first 2 weeks of the grow.
Week 3 (or week 2 of vegetation)
The first three weeks all went very smoothly, lots of cloud cover, nice breeze, good temps - and the plants nursery shielded the worst of the direct sunlight.
This is when I started introducing the varied feed schedule.
No photos - they start on week 4
Nothing much to say here - they're all looking sturdy and healthy.
Leaves are a nice vibrant green and they're getting a nice varied mix of nutrients... a good week.
Had a lovely run of weather this week - but now the crazy temps look like they're here to stay. Need to focus on keeping them in the shade where possible.
Plants are both looking okay - plant 1 seems to have weakened, like it's stunned or something - but is slowly coming back round (I think?) Maybe heat-stress?
Added a couple more nutrients: Bud Candy and Alg-a-Mic (I had them lying around from last year)
This was probably the last 'normal' week with ideal conditions.
This is a very discreet strain, I haven't been paying that much attention to it to be honest.
Now it's soaring up to 38C and roasting hot.
Going to try and invest in a shade cloth for the first time.
On reflection, this is still better than previous grows. If I had started earlier (I usually start late April outdoors - this year was late May start) then I would have caught a LOT of bad weather - lots of cold and lots of rainfall.
Just need to keep them cooler somehow.
Added two new nutrients to the kitchen sink - Jungle Juice Bloom and Bio Bizz' Top Max - just stuff lying around from last year. Given that I have bombarded them daily with all sorts of nutrients, I am not seeing anything remotely like nutrient burn, etc. They all look great. Removed Bud Candy (it's finished) and no more Root Juice.
All good, both Seedstockers feel like they're a week behind the others - but they still look good/promising.
Added Rhino Skin to aid with heat stress, so they say.
Temperatures are blazing hot - hoping they can handle the excess heat for the last 2-3 weeks.
These ones definitely need a while longer - looking good, not spectacular, but good :) They seem to be handling the heat okay but I think growth has been stunted a little bit.
Blazing hot week spent mostly trimming/harvesting.
Even broke a pair of scissors :)
Smooth trim from start to finish - plants were flushed in the last week
