Dos Si Dos 33 Barneys Farm - Plagron Royal Mix - Plagron Starter Set
This is my first grow ever since it turned kinda legal in this Country so i took a proper german approach and put alot of research into this project. As i couldnt decide which germination method i would favor i just combined different germination methods as i put 4 Seeds of Dos Si Dos 33 into dechlorinated tapwater for 8 hours to soak and after i wrapped them into sterile paper towel dumped in water. Leaving the seeds on a plate for another 18 hours until they had a nice visible taproot to put them into Peat pellets for further root development.
Once i saw a healthy taproot shooting through that lower end of the jiffy i later i planted the young little girls into 0.69liter pods in Biobizz lightmix to make sure they wont get burnt early. As you can see one of them had a rough start as she took off her second cotyledon :( i was really shook to see her like that so i helped her out and took of her helmet.
The GC4 was running at 32W single module at that point
This week i was making sure to have a proper monitoring in my tent so i started to connect my Raspberri Pi which a friend has setup for me to my grafana online Index so i cant make sure to have everything in check the next weeks to come :) i am Hyped at this point
Transplanted them into 3.5liter pots with Plagron Royal mix which i flushed with dechlorinated tapwater 1:1 ratio. so for each Pot i flushed with roughly 4 Liters to make sure they dont get burned early after transplant cuz the royal mix seemed to be mega juicy.
Day 19 after germination i decided to top the ladies using my sterile skalpel. Since this is my first grow ever and i have never done such thing i was very nervous to fuck up my whole grow but i decided to push through and cut off those heads. After topping i took off a few fanleaves and made sure they had enough water. I read its better to top off your plants right after the day begins and before u water them to have them bounce back faster.
Fat defoliation after i saw that even though i topped not every lower branch got to see the light proper- so i made sure that they will and hopefully shoot in every direction from here on! Startet to feed them on 50% of the feeding schedule. Sprayed them once a week with 3ml vita race/l before they went to bed ! IMPORTANT so u dont get the leaves to burn from the lights
Went into 11L pots for their final pots. Decided to flush those aswell before transplanting cuz i was too afraid to burn them as i decided to start putting fertilizer anyways. Had to perform further LST to make sure every branch is taking the most light possible.
The brown spots come from the Plagron Vita Race Canopy Spray which contains alot of iron. This should be normal said PLAGRON online :) might be the reason you dont use this in flower too long
A few more days until i install my 240W afterburner to make sure the whole future canopy is gonne be bright af. THX again to my growbro and homey ka10- da real one ! :-*
Switching to bloom in this Week and therefore i switch to other fertilizers aswell. I put 4-5 Liters with 3ml alga grow 1 ml root juice and 0.3ml calmag into the dechlorinated tapwater for a last time on VegDay31- Switching to 12/12 on VD33- PPFD to 800 now to make sure they get a proper DLI for initiating flower.
Installing the long awaited afterburner as i call it :D the 240W 4x Samsung LM301h Led Stripes with 98diodes are going to help lighting out the whole tent as i felt the need for something to help out my little gc4- shes done a great job so far but cant light out the whole tent alone at this point.
First week of flower and i can see the plants getting really bright green in color which indicates for me that they are about to stretch and be drinkin alot more the next days and weeks to come. I kept watering every 2-3 Days with 5-6 liter of dechlorinated tapwater fertilized with alga bloom 3-3.5ml/l, Biobizz Calmag 0.3-0.5ml/l and Plagron Rootjuice 1ml/l.
The Plant who took of her first cotyledon when sprouting was now showing a lesser stretch so i had to jack her up a little.
Jacked up the little girl who took off their first leaf when germinating and had a few other changes in the tent. Kept watering every 2-3 days depending on the weight of the pots to make sure i dont overwater them. Getting ready to defoliate them next week and sending them on cruise control .... hopefully !
Week3 of flower- i added a SCROG net to help spread out the branches a bit and hope for a little support for late flower. Took a first attempt at defoliating and even lollipopping these little girls. I just had to try it all at once...
I added Plagron Green Sensation to the feeding schedule and introduced it to the plants by just 0.5ml/l and adjusted it through the days to 1ml/l- i watered roughly about every 3 days with 1.5l per plant
Starting to build trichomes on the pistols and sugarleafs and definitely starting to smell like lime, lemon, orangepeel sorbet cakey kinda fruitpunch- really juicy and tasty smell. I could wear this as a parfüm i guess :P
I also tried to keep the humidity down from now on- ventilation system running 100% right now pulling ~360m³ out of the growtent.
Unfortunately my lightsensor cant measure anything above 60k lux so i play with the sensor height to ensure my topcolars get around 1k to 1.2k PPFD max. and the lower branches still get like 7-900PPFD to ensure a good quality bud hopefully :)
Starting to form dense fat colars now! The smell intensifies with lime limony orangy kind of flavours mixed with a little fruity cake or sorbet like taste. reaaaally stoked about that so far. Ive read a bit about how good she was for stealth grows just because she smells just like a fresh lime.
The plants are actually now pretty much on cruise control- kept watering em every 3 days- now with up to 2.5liters per pot. Ive read alot about how less is more in growing and i really try to stick to that in case of watering.
cruise control- Frost is buiding up- i am watering every 3 days with roughly about 10liters mixed with 3.5-4ml alga bloom/ 0.5ml calmag and 1ml of green sensation. i water until i get a slight runoff and then i stop.
Saw a few gnats running around the drainage pots and sticking in my yellow boards so i decided to water with nematodes. I wasnt 100% sure if i could have thrown them into the fertilizer mix or if it would harm them in any kinda way. So i chose to just apply them with dechlorinated tapwater on day 36 of Flower.
I watered 1 Liter of fertilized mix, then added roughly about 3mil nematodes to ~5-6l of dechlorinated tapwater and applied them to all four plants. After application i watered with 1 liter of fertilized mix again to make sure my plants arent missing any nutrients that period.
Topcolas are getting frostier and start to bulk up. Im exited !
Starting to see less gnats or at least no more than before i sent my soldier nematodes on a mission! I am glad i invested that extra 10 bucks to get rid of those little gnatty gnats. Other than that i feel like there is nothing much to do right now besides checking the Soil every now and then and to make sure my surroundings are as on point as they can be.
I am trying to get that VPD up to 1.2-1.4 by now and make sure they dont get too much RH.
Had a last feeding on day 52 of bloom- fed them with another 3.5ml Bloom/ 1ml of Green Sensation and 0.5ml of CalMag. Fed with only water on Day 54 and 56 to finish up this week. Buds starting to harden up.
I try to keep the temps on the lower end by now to preserve the terps.
Kept watering plants on day 58, 60 and 63 with dechlorinated tapwater + 0.5ml/l of Calmag. Trichomes getting more and more milky and a few amber/brown ones are shining through! The plan is to stop watering from now to stress out the plant a bit more before harvest.
Stopped watering all plants to make sure they are ready to harvest in about a week- leafs are really getting coloured by now and everything looks just fine for me :)
