m0use's Special Cannabinoid Tent GrowOFF

m0use Welcome everyone to my NEW Tent GrowOFF, featuring CBG varieties. Much like my previous Strawberry Tent GrowOff there will be awards given, more on that below. I normally had 6 sponsors for this but one failed to arrive so we are going with 5 CBG plants and one special CBD plant, this CBD plant was sent along side the CBG seeds from GTR. All of the plants are Photoperiods this run vs autoflowers like later time and they will be grown out with some LST and HST then flipped to flower to see how they fair. + [Best In Tent] = Over all best plant in the tent. + [Best Smell] = The best smelling plant based of my seances fresh & cured will be rated + [Best Buds] = The best looking buds visually, colour, density and frost will be rated + [Best Yeild] = The heaviest yielder of them all, total grams/OZ will be rated + [Best Taste] = The tastiest tasting buds, personal preference based on the guineapigs I outsource to smoke/vape the buds. + [Best Form] = The best growth pattern and form out of the plants, nothing to stretchy or compact. + [Best High] = The best feeling buds from getting stoned, personal preference based on the guineapigs I outsource to smoke/vape the buds. The Best High category will be hard to judge as their should not be any high. but it will be amended to how relaxed the person feels, It will be difficult to find some users to try this without smoking other weed at the same time but I will get it done. A big thanks for the hosts of this contest and their a quite a few. #1 Medic Grow for supping the lights, the twin setup of Mini Sun2 240w are extremely powerful and deliver a whopping amount of power, upwards of 480w. I use their lights at a 30" hang height, 40% in veg at 16/8 & 60% in flower at 11/13 cycles, this gives me just a hair over 37DLI for the day and a ideal amount of light. https://medicgrow.com/ #2 Acti-Sol / Acadie, The opportunity to try out some of their products arose and with having used them outside with great success I wanted to give them a shot indoors as well. Will be using both lines of Hen Manure and Sea/fish fertilizers. Very excited to try the Acadie lineup as I am new to it but have a really good feeling about it in flower. https://acti-sol.ca/en/ #3 Seeds, A big thanks to brands returning for this GrowOff like Exotic Seeds + Seedsman and some new ones that look extra promising like GTR with their seedless or triploid strains. 1. MSNL - https://www.marijuana-seeds.nl/cbg-soul-feminized-seeds 2. CANUK - https://www.canukseeds.com/canuk-cbg-feminized-seeds-canuk-seeds + A sick hoodie! it's nice and perfect thickness, blocks the cold and the months are getting colder. 3. Exotic Seeds - https://www.exoticseed.eu/products/exotic-pure-cbg 4. SeedsMan - https://www.seedsman.com/uk-en/seedsman-cbg-1-feminised-seeds-sman-cbg1-fem 5. GTR Seeds - https://gtrseeds.com/products/white-cbg-seedless 6. GTR Seeds - https://gtrseeds.com/products/forbidden-v-seedless I will be using a living soil mix to grow these in similar to my previous grows, It will consist of Coir, Compost, Worm castings, Perlite, Vermiculite, microbes and dry amendments + liquid fertilizers from the Acti-Sol / Acadie lineup and others. I will be starting them out in smaller containers and transplanting them up into larger ones as the weeks go on. I will list out all the nutrients going into them but the amounts maybe a bit of a guess as the soil is premixed and then I fill the container when transplanting. I originally tried to make this a blind diary, as in I would not have any idea what seed was what but the person helping me was a bit of moron and recorded all the numbers wrong so I have no idea what is what in the original planting. When I tried to trouble shoot this with them they got frustrated and said fuck it, just goes to show you can not count on anyone for simple basic tasks if they are even the tiniest bit high. I had some seeds left over and also started them in mini yogurt cups to help avoid any mistakes and will be using them moving forward. Still disappointed as I really wanted it to be a blind grow. But maybe next time. Will update the germination week as more seeds sprout. As of right now only 1 seed from the blind group has sprouted. I also buried them seeds a bit to deep so I am not expecting many of them to grow to well with the soil. Mistake made, even after adding in extra perlite to the mix to help it not do that. *****UPDATE***** Small update, On the original blind batch of seeds, "12 containers", only one sprouted. Some seed in cup #2, according to my list but buddy helped me with, that very well might be wrong... it says it is for Forbidden V Seedless GTR. and of my new seeds in the smaller cups number 6 popped up and that is also 100% Forbidden V Seedless by GTR. So it looks like I have two of them plants ATM. we will see how they grow in the coming weeks. On another note, I am using the last of all my CBG seeds to test their germination. I have 2 left out of the 5 sent by Exotic Seeds and Seedsman. I am soaking them in water for 24 hrs then will move to a paper towel till I see a tap root formed. I don't want to say all the seeds are bad just a weird level of no sprouts from all of them. High chance this is from my own doing and the medium being off. The GTR seeds where the last seeds sent to me and I got them when weather was nice. Canada post may have left the other ones in a cold environment, maybe they got damaged or if they xraying the packages maybe higher levels of radiation??? IDK testing it out. For the medium test, I will be plating a bunch of herb seeds that I know grows and germinates just fine, if they fail to grow then I know its on me and not just sensitive seeds in germination. there is a chance something in the mix is off and is preventing seeds from growing, the bag of compost where a bit older but looked and smelled fine?? The test herbs are as follows, Dill, Cilantro, Basil Mammolo, Basil Holy, Chives Chineese aka Garlic Chives, Parsley/Thyme and Catnip, they are all in the older containers from the blind test that was a epic failure. I also started two other seeds, Kannabia THCv x2 and GTR double durban THCv x2 So even if some of the CBG seeds fail I still will have special cannabinoids like CBDv and THCv. I am hopeing the CBG all sprout but I want to be safe vs sorry. If they all pop Up. I will donate the left over sprouted plants to my grow shop/buddy, can see what they will do with them. I can awlays try them again when I have the room. *****UPDATE#2***** Ok so after testing out the medium with herbs and other cannabis seeds sent in the same packages as the CBG ones I can say that the soil/medium is not the issue, The herbs and other cannabis seeds are sprouting just fine. Of the CBG seeds left over that I do have 2 of them are all having issues. Is this from temps or living soils or bad seeds IDK. I placed 2 Exotic CBG Seeds, 2 Seedsman CBG seeds into water for 12hrs then into moist paper towels in a sealed container. One of the Exotics swelled has a small little tail less then 1mm and its done nothing else last three days, the 2nd one sorta split out of its shell with some cotyledons but did not develop a tap root and is growing abit. If i am gentile I maybe able to get it into the medium without damaging it. The 2 Seedsmans seeds have done nothing but get a bit darker, they have not cracked its shell or swelled up like other germinating seeds It looks like they maybe undeveloped. As a back up I then put 2 seeds each of other seeds I have, Kannabis THCv, GTR THCv in older seed pots where some of CBG seeds where, and they have all sprouted. It looks to be a seed issue as of yet, but I also wonder if CBG seeds are a bit more special in their needs and sensitive to temps changes. Giving I was sent them at the beginning of our winter months, did they get too cold in transport? are they not well suited for a living soil? Does how they get made/produced make them less viable? Lot of unknowns. In short it looks like this diary is no longer a CBG grow off but a special cannabinoid with THCv CBDv CBD and I hope to get one CBG plant out of it all. Will keep you posted on more updates and seeds progress. *****UPDATE#3***** Ok all the herbs are germinating but the parsley and thyme container, The seeds where really old and parsley is known to drop off in germination rates as the seeds get older. However The Basil, Holy Basil, Chives, Cilantro, catnip and Dill are all popping up. So my theory of the medium being off is not 100% as shit is growing, however it could have been to compact or buried to deep but I placed then 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep like normally so IDK. just gad the 2nd round popped. I tried planting the exotic seed that had helmet head but one of its cotyledons broke off. I knew it might be a goner and it is now dead but looked ok ish day of transplant. I also took a week looking GTR THCv sprout and placed it into the cilantro container thinking it would not survive and it did. The seedsman seeds showed no signs of life and went into one of the herbs containers but can't remember what one, I don't expect to see them coming up anytime but if they do I will know its them. Of the other seeds I was sent I was unable to get them to germinate. Kannabia's THCv all came up strong, same with GTR THCv, The CANUK Cbd they provided are also looking nice. Even if I was to be sent new seeds, its to late to get em in the tent and the postal system has been down for about a month now. Its bonkers. Should be able to start my diary now.
