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 Fast Buds of the year :)
I didn't take any photos for the first 3 weeks of the grows this year, so the images/proper diary start from week 3 onwards with this diary.
Image is a placeholder from week 4... some other plant :)
All going smoothly to plan,
Weather is good, but things are definitely hotting up - had two days up to the 40C - should drop a little this week between 25 - 30C
Had a lovely run of weather this week - but now the crazy temps look like they're here to stay.
Plant is looking healthy and sturdy
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.
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 and 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.
Not much to report. they're all growing thick and fast, some fatter than others, etc...
Added Rhino Skin to nutrients - supposed to help with heat stress.
I expect Lemon Pie to fatten up a lot this week :)
All moving along well, heat is blistering and just keeping them well watered.
No change to nutrient schedule, all of the above, each day something different.
Heat is intense and this one is due for the chop next week.
Not as impressive as the Strawberry Pie which seemed to handle the extreme weather a lot better. This is shorter and stockier in shape.
Looking forward to the trim :)
10 week harvest in the end - diary skipped a good week.
Lots of trimming, very sticky buds - finally broke my trusty trimming scissors, handle just fell apart. I'll miss them :(
