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.
Never tried 'Advanced Seeds' before - this was a free sample.
Like the Ripper Seeds "Kmintz Auto" (one of my other 2024 diaries) - I couldn't find an official entry for these seeds on GrowDiaries, hence the custom tag.
First week of vegetation - like the Diablo Rojo, these ones also start the main feed quite early on.
All good, temps are hot, nice breeze, some good cloud cover for a few days.
All good, temps are cooling off a little - still got nice cloud cover to block the infernal heat :)
Be interesting to see how these handle the heat this year - I'm trying to put them more in the shade wherever / whenever I can.
Lizards are around, but no acts of vandalism so far... birds are loud, but steering clear. Can't grumble.
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.
Plant is looking healthy and sturdy - seems to have really expanded this week :)
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.
Definitely NOT happy with this dense, heavy, soil mix. It's clearly affecting the grow in a bad way.
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.
Looking very good - this was a free sample, so always curious to see where they take me.
Plant is looking good, handling the heat.
Added Rhino Skin to assist with heat stress (so it claims)
Smooth and relatively quick trim, and very low yield. Still, it was free so I can't complain at all - and the bud does look really nice :)
Not perfect, but not bad either.
