day #1: Plant the WW+ seeds in common supermarket soil, small pots.
day #2: Staying otuside.
day #3: Moving indoor. 18/6 light cycle with white/blue light.
day #11: Looking good.Water only.
Day #12: Transfert plants in bigger pots with Coco mix:
90% Coco coir
10% Perlite
In order to make them develop roots, I added 1 ml og Bio Grow to half a liter of bottled water.
Day #13: Sprayed some Fish mix on leaves and on the soil. Watered a bit adding a couple drops of Atana B'cuzz B Coco Nutrition.
day #18: Watering every 2 days.
Blue vegetation light 18/6.
Fan on for 12/24 half an hour on, half off.
Both plants are looking good.
Since I see 5 nodes now, I'm planning to:
- transplant in the final pots in 2 days.
- maybe topping of at the end of 3th week.
day #20: Re potted and topped both plants.
I hope that transplant and topping combined won't be fatal. Fingers crossed.
I wasn't able to find any Coco Coir in garden shops nearby, so I decided to make my own mix with what I have: last quarter brick of pressed Coco, supermaket soil (6 ph), perlite with little coffee grounds. On the bottom of the 9,5 l pots I put two inches of Biobizz Allmix soil + perlite + coco coir.
Then filled up both pots with regular soil + perlite mix.
All watered with a litre water adding some Bcuzz Coco Nutrition A and Fish Mix.
So far, I starded germination with soil, than swithed 10 days in coco only, than into the final pot with like 15% perlite, 70 % regular soil and 15% coco coir.
Day #23: Watered with Bcuzz coco B, Fish Mix and done some LST in order to peneatrate with light.
Also added some fresh humus on top.
Day #25: Defoliated lower branches. Watered with Bcuzz Coco and Fish Mix until saturated because I'll be out for 3/4 days. Next round I'll use bottled water only.
Day #26: Made 5 clones. No rooting hormones, just straighit into jiffy. Water only. Fingers crossed.
Day #30: I saturated very much on day 25 so I watered with a bit of Fish Mix. As well sprayed it on the leaves of motres and clones. Agro LED light is too intense for thonse little clones, so I stay with the blue one for now. Added some cofee grounds on top.
I'm gonna end it with Fish Mix and switching soon to Bio-grow, as suggested by Biobizz.
10 days left then switching to flowering stage.
Week 5 and it's all good.
Day #32 Watered with just 0,5 ml/l of Fish Mix. I used it to spray on the leaves too.
One of the 5 clones died because one night I removed the cap: just don't, is way too early.
These days are rainy so drying time is slow.
I'm going to switch to Bio Grow and setting 12/12 light schedule in the next 5 days.
Day #34 Not deep watering yet, just sprayed leaves with Fish Mix then both mothers with a sip of leftover solution for each.
The clones that I took just as a try seems to be healty. I don't know what to do with them :)
Day #35 Watering deep with pasta water with BioGrow in. Defoliated a bit.
Day #36 I see some slight curling and yellow tip on a mother plant so next round I'll water with just a bit of magnesium.
Newbie here. Got 4 small clones took during week n.3. Can I grow them in the same tent, same period as the mothers are supposed to? I'd planned to switch to flo stage in 5 data and clones are still weak and 4 cmq tall. Do I have to setup a second tent? Mandatory?
Thanks
Hello mate, i think the clones are too weak and young to support the flowering phase. it's better to keep the clones in veg phase during the flowering phase of the others so after the harvest you can put the clones directly in flowering.
Good luck and happy journey!
Switch to flowering stage
Day #38 12/12 with red LED light from tonight on. ScrOG net Is on. Pots are still wet, no need to water. I defoliated a little bit, then I'll let the alone for a while.
I need to find a environment for the clones. It stresses me a bit but I don't want to kill those 4 little clones, not voluntarily.
Day #40 I still tend to water too much but I'm slowly learning. Watered until saturated with Biogrow and Atami B Cuzz a +b (for coco, whatever),a swell I added a bit of magnesium nutrient by Cifo, a garden store brand. Trying to understand how to ScrOG.
I built a small growbox with leftovers from my garage. Not a penny was spendt in this operation. Clones are still alive. Starting a new diary.
Last night reading blogs I discovered 💡🌟🔆 Photone App 💡🌟🔆, a free grow light meter https://growlightmeter.com/download/
They also have a web guide to establish how much light your canopy needs in the moment https://growlightmeter.com/calculator/ . In pre flower it figured out I need 1100 umol of red LED light (calculation DLI). I adjusted my light height accordingly, It was too close.
Very, very useful. Those guys in switzerland deserves a huge kudo.
Day #42 Growth Is fast. I snapped a branch trying to ScrOG so I repaired It with wire, as I done with tomato before.
Watered with some broth and my own nutrient I use in my garden. I defoliated a Bloom that was facing down.
Humidity at 60%, I'm struggling with It a bit. Dehumidifier in the room Is now set at higher setting.
Happy growing. Any advice is apreciated.
Day #44 All good.
A branch i accidently snapped did not re-attached, I tried to get a clone out of It but setup is not optimal. Dead in 3 days.
Day #48 All good.
Kept using a bit of nutrients added to bean water, leftover broth, seems allright and no deficiencies showed. Keep using Photon App in order to adjust Red LED light.
Added some Cifo Magnesium I can't find in the nutrients list.
Day #50 Alright. I made some banana water and added some Magnesium fast liquid nutrient by Compo. One of the plants Is going super bushy with short internodes. The other seems pefect, It fills the net like a breeze. Scrog is almost complete.
After looking at your diary, there is very little plant above the net, in fact the plants are quite small in general.
I would not be defoliating, this just reduces the amount of energy the plant can make, which limits growth.
If I were you, I would just slightly lollipop the areas close to the main stem to make access for irrigating easier and then leave the plants alone to finish naturally.
Defoliation is not an essential "technique" for growing cannabis and should only really be done if there are incredible issues with controlling excessive humidity. Buds do not need direct exposure to light for growth to occur, just like how fruit does not only grow on the sunny side of trees.
Just remember..........
Less leaves = less energy being made = less potential growth.............it is that simple.
ALL of the plants energy to grow and thrive comes from the leaves, it does not come from anywhere else.
Removing leaves so the plant can "redirect energy into bud growth" is scientifically and biologically impossible.
Without the leaves, there can be no energy!
Week 12
Some stress issues are showing. Smell is still very weak, buds are slowly thicken up. Removed the Scrog net. Some lst left on.
Used a stove in the tent in , big mistake, One of the two plants suffered. Do no do It.
Temperatures are from 18 to 21 but mostly stable between 19 and 20 °c: even if It is not optimal I prefer a longer flowering period instead of a ruined harvest.
Ultima settimana con concime, dalla prossima inizio il lavaggio delle radici, sicuramente su una delle due che mi sembra sia piú avanti dell'altra. Dovrei raccogliere alla 16esima o 17esima settimana (da seme).
One plant has some wind burn. I suposedly start flushing on her.
The other seems more healthy but not so mature compared to her sister.
Planning to harvest both in 2 or 3 weeks at least.
Ugh! One of my two plants Is dying. I suspect overwatering associated with some other issue I can't spot properly. 58 days flowering. It was my first flushing session, not a good start.
Her sister has no problem. Poked holes in the dirt, raised temp, maxed the fans. What else?
It looks like you may be too late.
I suspect the overwatering has been a problem for a while and it has turned into root rot and the plant can't uptake anything and is busy dying.
Flushing continues. Only one plant left alive. Sister has suddenly died due to a severe root rot. Poor drainage of that plastic pot didn'helped in my mistakes.
Since she's alone in the tent, She looks Better now.
In my second try I still had troubles with root rot by overwatering issues. This time I waited even 3/4 between waterings (half liter for plant) but soil never ever dried properly. Next time I'll use Light mix, grow shop pots and practice patience. What else do you advice peep?
Hey there one thing I like todo is set my exaust fan to not run for like 45 min then set to run for 15min this helps the air in the tent heat up and evaporate air from the soil then everyn45 min the exhaust fan will clear the tent letting it start over.
Also next time if you use promix HP it is high prosperity witch means it I'd airy and dries out quickly also if you mix extra perlite into it this will help even more also if you put about 1inch of perlite in the bottom of your grow pots this will help a ton with drainage.
The key to good roots is having a good start as a seedling. When the plant is still small make sure to only give the seedling like 45 sprays from water bottle then1dt few times you water untill roots hit bottom the container then when you transfer the plant to large pot makensure you are only watering on the egmdge of the pot making roots reach outwards. After plant hadnrooted the pot well then only water when soil is completely dry canntake 1o day or so sometimes durring early veg. Plants will start to look nice for a period then when soil gets really dry plants will start to sag a little this is when you want to water
When plants go into flower I like to let them go as long as possible till they look stressed from not enough water then I subtract 1 day from that and then that's my water schedule for flower for the plant.
One very important thing is to eater plants individually just because one plant is ready to be watered don't be lazy and water all the plants at the same time. They will all drink up water at diff paces
Have you ever made this mistake? My second harvest was someway worst then my first. Sure I did some watering mistakes but during my chores in the room and in the tent, I found out. I used a random power cable on my PAR LED lamp so when It turned off still had some light on. Bang!
Hey there I have noticed my spider farmer 100w light some of leds have a glow when the light is off I'm not sure if they are doing this on purpose but it only seems to be the evo leds on the light.
I'm not sure if the wrong power cable would cause that.
