Soaked all seeds in water for about 8 hours and placed them in wet paper towels afterwards. After another 24 hours, all three seeds have already germinated - 100% success!
Consequently, the germinated seeds were put in soil (0.1 liter pots).
Everything going very well so far!
Lighting is around 300 PPFD for the first few days, I will try to gradually increase it to 500 day by day during the upcoming week.
All three plants look great so far. :)
They got new shoes (around 2.5 liters) on day 9, root growth looked very satisfying already.
On day 11, I topped Beldia Kif in order to tame her 100% sativa growth. Will probably top her again in around a week.
CBD#1 and HashTonic were not topped yet, but tied down to encourage better growth of side branches.
On day 17 all plants got new shoes, 4.0 l each - this will be their final pots.
On day 18, lights were switched to 12/12.
On day 19, I cut some bigger leaves on top of the plants which obstructed the path of the light to reach all the smaller growing branches.
Beldia Kif now has 6 branches on equal height.
The Plants are developing great.
Beldia Kif already started flowering but unfortunately, the plant is a hermie - I have spotted 8 small sacks (about 2 days old and 1 mm in size) in total and removed them immediately. Nevertheless, I am not willing to remove the plant from my tent and decided to check her carefully from now on, for new sacks or bananas later when flowering and try my best to cut everything asap.
HashTonic (from day 25 onwards the plant in the back of the tent) only has shown two hairs so far, CBD#1 has shown no signs of flowering yet.
CBD#1 (from day 25 onwards in the front, right) has huge leaves - the ones on top of the plant have 11 fingers!
Everything is going well!
HashTonic is now also in full flowering mode - for CBD#1, it will take another one or two days.
I included single pics for every plant on day 32, to show the different plant structures better.
For defoliation, I am constantly removing a few key leaves every day without overdoing it.
For now, it seems like I was hitting the right spot with the light switch to 12/12 on day 18 - if I would have waited a few days longer, I´d definitely be getting height problems in my tent. The plants were stretching about 1 inch every day in this week.
The plants have now just stopped stretching.
CBD#1 eventually became the tallest plant, which is why I elevated the pots of the other plants to get the buds to a more even height.
HashTonic seems to produce an extraordinary amount of resin, even though she just started flowering!
Initially, I wanted to use no fertilizer at all for this grow, only fresh soil, but I am thinking about using some in the next two weeks.
Leaves are now beginning to develop more autumn like colors, especially on BeldiaKif.
Right now it looks like BeldiaKif and HashTonic will finish at approximately the same time (another two, maybe three weeks), whereas CBD#1 will probably take another week on top of that.
Finally, the smell is getting more intense too! :)
BeldiaKif smells like whole grain sweet cookies, the main bud of HashTonic actually smells like a bouqet of fresh flowers, lol.
Getting closer to harvest - so far so good!
CBD#1 now started producing some amounts of resin, too. Also, she started to smell - pine flavors are dominant here.
The HashTonic buds with all that trichomes are really astonic-shing to look at. 😅
Getting even closer to harvest.
Today, on day 62, it seems like
- HashTonic could be harvested first, in about a week, maybe a bit more
- BeldiaKif coming right after HashTonic, maybe some days to a week more
- CBD#1 still has pretty much not a single brown colored hair, so she will probably need like three weeks minimum
There are not many amber trichomes (approx less than 10%) on Beldia Kif and HashTonic to this date, but it looks like HashTonic will be ready for harvest soon.
CBD#1 is really taking its time for whatever reason - still pretty much not a single brown hair on her and many clear tris.
Tomorrow, on day 77, HashTonic and Beldia Kif will be harvested.
I´ve spotted three bananas on Beldia this week (see pics), which were removed. Should not be that big of a deal, because it was the last week for her anyways.
HashTonic buds are looking super ready to harvest now and its trichomes made a big step in development during the last days. Now they are approx. 30% amber.
CBD#1 will still most likely take another week, probably some days more.
Not much to say for this week in particular. The plant is still taking its time with quite a few hairs still white.
The plant grew a little too far towards the light some weeks ago, which I think is the reason for the leaves falling off and turning into a more red to brown color on the buds.
Finally it´s time for harvesting the CBD#1 on day 96.
She took her time but now the buds are looking ready and some tris have turned amber - which probably doesn´t matter that much anyway since the plant contains no THC.
The plant has a nice, intense smell of lemon, with a bit of pine.
