Soaked in a glass of 50 ml with water and 10 drops of hydrogen peroxide. 5 out of 5 sprouted within 48 hours. After they showed 5 mm tails - moved to mineral wool plugs.
On the 7th day the sprouts moved into mineral wool cubes. One of them probably won't survive and stopped growing.
Day 7 - the sprouts moved into the bath with the solution. I didn't have any acid on hand to lower the pH balance to 5.5. I assume that's why they grow slower than usual.
The fifth plant has risen 0.5 cm above the ground and has not yet shed its shell. I think it will not survive.
Day 18 - a week and a half has passed since the last measurement - they have grown by 1-2 cm each. I think this is a growth retardation.
The fifth sprout died.
The solution bloomed and I made a complete replacement of 2 liters
Day 23 - four surviving sprouts are placed in the soil.
I carefully removed each sprout from the mineral wool cube and placed the plug with the sprout's root system in a glass of 0.5 liters of soil to form the primary root system.
I watered each with 50 ml of tap water to moisten the soil.
I hope in 2-3 days they will feel better and start growing. Watering once a day with 50-100 ml of water
Day 28 - The plants have grown considerably in size since being transplanted into the ground.
It has been 5 days since being transplanted into the ground.
The rapid renewed growth is encouraging. It looks like the plants have been saved.
3 days after transplanting into a larger volume of soil. I used a mix of garden soil from the garden center and perilite (2/1), also added complex fertilizer with bone meal in the composition and dried seaweed.
Outside at night it can be up to +2.
The plants slow down from the cold and stress after transplanting.
Day 52 - transition to 12/12, all bloomed. One was not feeling well - reddish dying along the edges of the leaf. Transplanted into a bag with 15 liters of soil. Mixture - Earth + agroperilite (2/1), dried seaweed 200 grams, fertilizer for enrichment with phosphorus and potassium.
It is very cold at night, I will soon hang a second lamp to make it warmer.
Day 63 - the plants have blossomed and are gaining weight. They were slow in growth due to nutrient deficiencies and cold nights, but I hope to bring them all to harvest.
The day before yesterday I hung another LED 240 w lamp, because it is -6 outside at night and I need to warm up the tent. I switched to 12 hours of daylight.
Day 66 - Flowers gradually become larger and fragrant. Kush has flowers around the main stem very densely - each 1-2 cm. Flowers are 1-1.5 cm in diameter.
One plant is very elongated, the stems are very red - this means a deficiency of some substance. I underfed it at the beginning, the deficiency is due to late transplantation into a larger volume.
Day 71 - the plants are doing well, I added another 240 W lamp to the harvest.
One of the low but dense bushes is already about 3 cm in circumference at the top.
The second one was suffering from a deficiency of substances because I was late with transplanting it into a larger container and it ate all the substances from the soil. Red stems and small leaves - deficiency of substances. After transplanting it into a 10 liter container, it felt good.
On the third one, I didn't have a growing bag, so I used a regular 50*100 cm household bag. It lets air through and the roots breathe, it contains about 15-20 liters of soil with agroperilty
Plant #1 shows impressive results - the main cola has reached 4.5 cm in diameter and continues to densify. The entire stem is covered with abundant flowering. Natural yellowing of lower fan leaves is observed, which is typical for this flowering stage.
Plant #2 (the trailing one) shows good dynamics in bud formation. Estimated harvest time is 2-3 weeks.
Plant #3, despite early deficiency issues due to late transplanting and excessive stretching, has successfully recovered. Currently showing active flower formation, especially in the upper canopy.
Plant #4 is compact and close to maturity (approximately one week left). Characterized by a large main cola, while side buds are less developed - about 1-1.5 cm in diameter. Trichomes are still white.
Considering the strain genetics (8-11 weeks full cycle) and active growth, I maintain daily watering with 1L of flowering nutrients solution.
This week, I continued growing 4 WestCoast OG plants. The plants are feeling better day by day and have reached 78 days since planting the seeds.
The care routine included:
Watering every other day, 1 liter per plant. The water solution contained flowering fertilizer NPK 3-5-8 (10 ml/L) and organic super-concentrate fertilizer (5 ml/L).
I noticed that the flower buds on the closer plants have significantly enlarged. The further plant, which was lagging in flowering, has caught up and now reaches a height of around 45 cm, with small 10 mm diameter flowers.
One interesting observation - I found a mutation on one of the leaves, from which a small flower is growing that is not increasing in size.
Next week, I plan to:
Continue watering the plants with the same fertilizer solutions.
Stop spraying the leaves to avoid the risk of mold on the buds.
Closely monitor the temperature, as it's starting to drop outside and the room is not insulated. If the temperature falls below 18°C, the plant growth may slow down.
Overall, the plants continue to develop at a good pace, and I expect to be able to harvest in 10-14 days.
This week was the harvest of plants.
Two turned out big and powerful.
One is a short plant with a large central flower.
One could stand and bloom for another two weeks, but it is already cold outside and the flowering will slow down.
And there is no strength to wait.
So I collected. As a result, the wet weight was:
"small" - 82 grams,
"bag" - 185 grams,
"fat top" - 282 grams,
"skinny" - 252 grams.
I wait 10-14 days until drying in an awning without light and with a carbon filter. Temperature 16 degrees
