Hi guys! long time no see. its been a long journey this pass year thinking about popping some beans. Well the day has come, i couldn't take it any longer. If you've followed my previous diary, i was waiting for this house I'm living at to sell but its been slow since march and i really feel like its going to be on market for a while with going price. Im taking a gamble here and if it does happen to sell i got 60 day or so to move out and i think worse comes to worse i got a friend who can transport them safely and care for them while i move. Lets get this going !!
Femenized M39 Granddady ( m39xGranddaddy purple )
I'm very eager to see these girls grow big ! They are currently substrate germinating. I bought 5 from Q.C.S and they threw in 4 Quebec White Feminized seeds which i donated to a friend who hasn't planted them yet. Very satisfied with the packaging Q.C.S provided and the bonus. Eager to see you guys follow these girls through their life ! Thanks for popping by.
Edit: I was using a no name peat I had laying around that had dried out, I picked up an organic micro active pro mix peat today and fished out the seeds. They had successfully germinated and I picked them up with tweezer ever so gently and placed into new smaller cups. I think some may frown and say I should have left them but the tap roots were only like 1cm just coming out. In my opinion no different than grabbing em off a wet paper towel. I just wanted them to have best success at growing strong with healthier medium. I have faith i did the right move for better seedlings. 8) see you guys when we have life appearing outside the cup :D we also plan on doing this whole grow Organic. Will be my first time all Organic
Day 4, Seedlings are emerged and strong. Light is set to 21 inches from the seedlings. Ive mixed the live soil two weeks early and will continue to stir daily. I fed the live soil ( pro mix organic ) Gaia Green 4-4-4, Epsom salt at 1 teaspoon per litre. and black earth.(documented in a book ) with home made fruit and egg shell compost. eyed up a 1:3 ratio of perlite. 1:3 Worm casting. I gave the soil a treatment of Monkey Juice microbes. Should be some very healthy soil when it comes time to use it.
PPE arrived aswell, not taking chances with contamination this time as it made my last grow very challenging. Added a clip of grow room im using. Fresh air induction and exhaust running to outside the house with a carbon filter installed.
1 Week since planting the seeds into soil! very healthy little seedlings! I think for this run. Will be running two 3 gallon pots next week or two. We do have the spider farmer SE3000 coming sometime which will give us all the power we need for flowering a full tent 8).Girls have a radio playing country of all eras all day long and when I’m around they get a dose of classic metal hope they are jamming out 🤘
Next week most likely homing into their 3 gal homes. Will be giving a shot of Microbes and Molasses. Coating root system with Dynomyco mycorrhiza!
Will be updating every Sunday morning from here instead of Wednesdays. Noticed the roots had reached bottom and sides of cups i had planted from seedling. I didn't want the roots exposed to much light from the cups being transparent. I did notice some light stress with sf1000 being around 20 inches from tops. I raised up another 2 inches from new 3 Gallon pots. They will remain in these pots till harvest. I used suggest amount of Dynomyco and coated root system with aswell ! First time user of Dynomyco, i have faith its as good as everyone says ! There is two inches of inert perlite in the bottom of each pot. Mid or end of week ill be giving a dose of suggested Monkey Juice beneficial bacillus bacteria with a half tea spoon of unsulphured black strap molasses to get that live soil really working! New light schedule is 18 on 6 off. VPD is a little off, in process of adding more humidity to tent.
Thanks for following the girls in their life journey !
Day 18 total. Day 15 since sprouting from soil, I gave a teaspoon of molasses and 6ml Monkey juice per gallon of water. They each got half a gallon on Wednesday. I noticed great growth rates since then ! They have a little bit of light stress damage on the first set of leaves but the new growth has been looking healthy !
Notice some good growth this week ! Friday Day 20. Very strong stalks and topped at 3rd node ( just rubbed the new growth off top to be as less stressing as possible). Best to do early. Will be doing a sea of green with 2 inch trellis netting. Ive been Watering one and half litres every 5 days.
Thanks for checking out the girls on their journey !
Very Healthy girls so far ! Watering every 4 Days now. Nothing special. No training yet. Lowered Light 2 inches to increase PAR. I had to move locations of tent. Humidity is a little high in this room. Running dehumidifier at night and changed light cycle to 20 Hours of Light, 4 off to decrease time in high humidity. Humidifier is putting in work. Averaging 60-65 during day and 70- 75 during night.
Im feeling like the girl on the right is showing different gene traits. Eager to see if there is any major differences in the coming weeks !
Thanks for checking out the girls !
Girls were both healthy little sad looking but lights just turned on, i made a tough decision today and made a choice of this big girl. I decided i would take one out and put her into a green house. Be a tiny little flowering girl but not wasted.
This girl will be growing alone in the tent from here on out. She will be getting placed into a 5 Gallon Pot this week and top feed 70/30 ratio of 4-4-4 by Gaia and 2-8-4 and worm castings with a dose of Monkey Juice and Molasses .I feel like out of the two this one had the most vigor and resilience. I really want to focus on Scroging her out and having a single plant with a flat even canopy.
Thanks for checking her out ! I may add in some pictures here and there through the weeks of the other girl in the green house.
Happy and Healthy.Rehomed into 5 gal fabric pot with Dynomyco. Recieved a top feed of 70/30 Gaia greens. Some worm castings on Day 30 with a dose of beneficial bacteria and teaspoon of molasses.
Day 35 I’ve took before and after photos and spread her apart to get even canopy coverage. Light defoliation. Very healthy girl full of vigour!
Thanks for checking up on the girl!
Last week of Veg ! Spreaded her apart even more this morning after i took the photos. It will be getting a top feed of 50/50 Gaia Greens + Worm Castings. Microbes + Water Soluble Kelp Fert from Green Rush Nutrients to enter flowering. Shes been getting 3L of water ever 2-3 Days.
Gave her a nice defoliation day 44. Exposed all the new growth. Will be flipping into flower in 2 Days.
Day 3 of Flowering, Looking healthy and growing fast ! Eager to see some pistils soon !
On Day 1 of Flower she got a 3 litres of water with a shot of seaweed extract per litre. 6ml of Monkey juice and a teaspoon of molasses. Top feed of 50/50 Gaia greens.
Girl is looking great, she’s sitting at 11 inches of height from the pot and 2x2 feet wide. One more tuck and she should be good for the rest of flowering. Receiving a top feed of 70/30 bloom and veg of Gaia green. Worm castings with a dose of monkey juice bacteria and kelp extract from green rush. Last top feed and she should have plenty of nutrient to uptake for stacking. I will be assisting it with some beefy bud by green rush during flowering.
Day 11. Handful of worm castings around base. Top fed 70/30 Gaia Bloom, Gaia 4-4-4.
Monkey juice with Kelp extract.
1 teaspoon molasses. All in Gallon of water. She drank it all.
Anticipating to give a dose of Beefy Bud by Green Rush on day 18 to assist the Gaia that’s breaking down. I should have a great flowering.
Day 15 She got a dose of Beefy Bud from Greenrush. Day 17 light defoliation to expose the tops. She seems to be real healthy. Im liking the bud sites forming. Big dense buds soon :D. Thanks for checking her out.
Day 19, Heavy defoliation of undergrowth and any fan leaves blocking nodes. Very well spaced and will be stacking nicely 8) Ill keep photos for next weeks update ! Shes growing fast, little stretch before stack. Last two days she got an inch closer to the light. Eager to see how much she actually does stretch under the conditions i gave her !
The other girl i planted from seed along side of this one showed a different structure completely in my opinion. She stretched like crazy in green house reached almost 4 feet tall fast, but she didnt survive. She got way to cold and lengthy looking. I felt bad so i cut her :( I hate doing it but i have no experience with green house and outdoors its awhole different ball game. In the future ill inform my self more and get the conditions proper for some green house grows.
She got a dose of Monkey Juice Microbes from Cronk and Molasses Day 24. Colas are starting to look real beautiful ! some nice trichomes appearing.
Day 26 increased watering to 2L a day, shes a thirsty girl!
Day 28. Increased PAR to 700 - 800 gradually for last 3 days. try and get those bottom buds nice and big too. Exhausting heat pretty good and able to keep at a decent temperature so we dont evaporate trichomes. The tops seem to be unaffected by the light with the amount of water she gets should be able to handle the light intensity good.
Day 31, Stacking nicely. She will get another dose of Green rush Beefy bud on day 35. Day 39 a dose of microbes and molasses with some Seaweed extract for Potassium boost. A nice defoliation on day 40 or so to shape up all the Colas. Should see some nice progress in coming weeks and hopefully some purple big buds ! Thanks for checking her out !
Strong Limonene terps, i removed anything trying to grow under canopy and wow the lemon zest was crazy! Gassy Lemons and Candy! First smell i could almost compare to Prestone ( coolant you put in vehicles ) with some candy notes. It does make me think its leaning on the sativa genetic side but we will see. It did stay nice and short and might have stretched 8 inches or so. It will be a nice hybrid for sure !
Defoliated on Day 34. Removed any big fan leaves blocking nodes.
Averaging 40% RH 24/7
Day 38. Forming buds nicely. Getting thicker and smelling amazing. Trichomes are beautiful and very sticky. The lemons is crazy ! She got a dose of monkey juice microbes and molasses this morning with a shot of kelp extract.
Girls are looking amazing and smelling amazing. Have been watering 2 - 2.5 L of water Daily. Weekly Feeding of Green Rush Beefy Bud still. Its day 45 should be a 60 day plant or so. Shes stacking nicely !
Day 52, stacking beautifully. Got her last kelp potassium boost today. I’m thinking another feed of a Green rush beefy bud on day 56 before starting to flush/ripen. It should be finishing off that 70/30 Gaia feed I gave a month ago. Very eager to smoke some of this medicine. LEMONS! Slowed down to drinking 3L of water every two days again.
I ended up cutting all nutrients out for a ripening. I never went back with a Green rush feed. Im positive there is very little gaia breaking down in the soil if any ! Cloudy trichomes happened this week too ! very eager. Ill be adding a final week photos plus hanging and wet weight photos in a week or two and then in a month you can come back and see what final product and weight looks like with a smoke review!! thanks for making it this far ! i appreciate you guys checking on my progress !
Heres a youtube short i created ! i will do one for every grow just to add to my portfolio! Im hoping by keeping up with all this and show casing my progress, i could potentially find employment in the future under a grower ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhQWMl7kjLg&lc=UgwRIkWLHVSlsOJWXlx4AaABAg&ab_channel=Apothecaries
youtube video is from day 59 or so
Thanks again !
Thank you everyone for following along ! This is it for this fine lady but I got some more beans to experiment with. See you guys another time ! It may be awhile before I get situated! I will be around though!
If you can show some support for a little project me and a friend came up with for each grow !!
