Let's get started...
Welcome to my organic grow project with the mighty Cali Octane.
I´m super excited about this strain which is able to reach THC levels between 26 and 36%. WOW😍😋
The aim of the vegitationphase is to create a screen of green of about 0.8m x 1,2m out of one plant via LST and HST (Scrog net, LST clips, bending and topping).
A few hours after newmoon 3 Cali Octane seeds got planted into some "ROOT RIOT" cubes. Trichoderma and different bacteriae are already added.
Next month the nicest one will get picked and planted into large growing beds containing 100 - 130l of soil for each plant.
Soma, the great author and breeder inspired me to do it like this.
Alongside the Cali Octane two other strains are growing in that box (White truffle GC and Hella Jelly HSC).
Two days after sprouting the little ones will receive their first training in form of spraying "PUROLYT".
It helps to keep humidity levels high and VPD levels rel. low (also during flowering).
VPD: 0.4 - 0.66
EC: 0.2
RH: 70 - 85%
AirTemp: 22 - 23°C
LeafTemp: 22 - 23°C
PPF: 150μmol
I hope to switch over into the flowering phase by the end of this year, depending also on the other plants in that box.
A complete screen of green has to be created before flowering starts...
ps: i'm very excited about writing my first diary after 3 decades of growing and hope it won't bore you.
Thanks for reading and watching! Til next week...
Comin along nicely! looks like they stretched a bit, could probably stand to run your light a bit closer. Maybe you already fixed. constant oscillating fan or enough air flow to make sure those leaves are movin a bit. helps strengthen their stem, base. mmm donuts, now im hungry ;D
@baybridge123, you're absolutely right with the stretch and the fan! I had none installed last week but now at least a none oscillating one is running. I had to support one this morning cause she's not yet accustomed to the airflow. I appreciate your expertise on this strain in Dr Jones' diary, thanks👍
