Slighty more sensitive seedlings than usual, they doesn't seem to like much too high humidity early on. - one seedling not sprouted after transplant (joint between root and cotyledons broke with humidity) and had to replace with some back up seedling - one seedling sprouted with wound over cotyledons and first leaves stages, at this point not sure if it gonna recover or not ( last back up seedling is also a little wounded and appeared to have a weaker tiny root and slow growth as for now, all in all it may happen i replace one blackberry with one northern light clone within the two next week ) Set Up 2 SOG box:­ 60x90x180 ­cm / HPS 2­50 W / ven­t 220 m3/h­ @daycycle­ only (Short veg­: 7 plant ­x 7 L pot ­+ 1 vertic­al fan @24­/24 + 1 clip fan to dissipate bulb hotspot @daycycle) 1 LST box:­ 60x60x140 ­cm / CFL 2­700k (165)­210W / ven­t 160 m3/h­ @daycycle­ (Longer ve­g: 1 plant­ x 11 L po­t + 1 fan @daycycle) Soil: All-Mix (1­ glass of ­Light-Mix ­around the­ seedling)­ Nutrients:­ Fish mix(v­eg)&Bi­o-Grow(flo­) / Bio-Bl­oom / Top-­Max DIY C0² (zamnesia recipe) last 5-7 weeks of flowering. http://www.zamnesia.com/blog-how-to-make-a-diy-co2-generator-for-the-grow-room-n496

Watering volume per plant: 1l every 3/5 days As for now growth difference remain in an acceptable range & pre-flowers start to show. Another plant showed the phyllotaxy traits with 3 leaves per stages & two other seem also prone to some mutations (main-lining by themselves without topping). Trimmed some lower branch as well as some of the bigger mutations to keep vertical growth homogeneous. Later this week "phyllotaxy x5" plant self main-lined in two trunk: a "phyllotaxy x3" and a smaller "phyllotaxy x4". I removed the "phyllotaxy x4" secondary trunk and kept the "phyllotaxy x3" as main trunk. All in all, after some serious lower stage trimming all the plant now look pretty homogeneous in size and growth rate, so the recovery is a success if it continue this way.

Watering volume per plant: 1l every 2 days Those ladies are incredibly short they just don't stretch and prolly could have use 4 and even 5 week of veg. Well, post-ited for next time i'll grow this strain. Trunk smell's is sort of incredibly fruity and strong when touching it, never had something similar with my previous grows, can't wait to see how this evolve. Started using the DIY CO² this week. (see 1st week for details)

Watering volume per plant: 1l every 2 / 2,5 days It start to smell noticeably this week. Well, stretch seem to be done 😐and i'm a bit surprised, shortest strain i've ever grown. Would have been better with one less stage removal and/or 1 or 2 more weeks of vegetation. Post-ited for next time with such short strains. On a side note, the sole slighty different & taller pheno is the one that had stress early on. (back right corner, especially noticeable on the side view) Also learn from Nirvana official that they stopped this strain, so it's sort of luck i'm gonna do my own F2 cross, as this shortness eventually interest me for sogging 4 plants in my LST box.

This is really a product i wanted to try. This time starting using it half the way, gonna be better with the White Widow, Critical and next grow to come.

Watering volume per plant: 1l every 2 days Prolly not gonna harvest much from those ladies, it's a bit sad because i could have done better giving them more veg, or trimming less lower stage. But their stretch surprised me, never had such a short strain, and trimming like i did is oki for all others strains i have grown so far. Learn new things, make new observation with different strain and different growing technique and improve. Kinda cool overall. The smell is incredibly sweet and fruity really love it.

Watering volume per plant: 1l every 2 days Even if they are small they drink a fair amount of water in comparison to some of my previous grow.. Smell start to get strong in the tent's room, awesome very fruity and sweet. Colas are getting fat and large day after day wich is fairly encouraging regarding the yield to come. Planning to start flushing next week, so that's gonna be 10 weeks of flowering (she's supposed to be 9- 11).

Last week with PHed water. (they drinked much less this week, half than usual) The smell, is really sweet and fruity, between normal and strong i would say. Kinda happy with this session, even if i could prolly have done better with trimming and flowering flip. This is the shortest strain i have ever grown and it surprised me, trimmed like i usually do for others strains, but do not really fit with this one. Anyway, kinda happy because even if pretty small plants, buds are super dense and compact, i was expecting to fill a jar and half minimum, and i think that's gonna be oki, even some more. Better than expected a few weeks ago anyway. (also, i do believe mammoth P half the way really helped, great product) Manucure was pretty fast, #6 has a lot of leaves manucuring it kinda feel like your hair cutting some lettuce. Nice amount of trim material for bubble hash. So well prolly not gonna be my biggest harvest ever, but it's the first time i get that big, dense, compact buds and flowers. (can't wait for the critical in the other tent to finish a whole flowering cycle with Mammoth P ^^) Even if short they were super bushy, and light penetration quickly decrease, many lower buds are whitish, especially 2 pheno were like lettuce like #6. Prolly had a few root rot along flowering as a few leaves sign here and there seem to hint, anyway strain seem soil relative humidity sensitive since seedling. ps: nirvana no longer sell this strain since half mine flowering or so

Awesome taste and high. Very homogenous strain. Strain is soil relative humidity sensitive, (both seedling and later roots) 2-3 out of 7 phenotypes had a noticeably higher leaves to flowers ratio. Leaves density is pretty high for all phenotype so many lower bud were whitish, (slighty smoother and sweeter taste) ps: nirvana no longer sell this strain since half mine flowering or so.

HerbalEducommented6 years ago
@ROM101, hum, that's what it look like this morning: cotyledons are wounded, partially ate by some sort of fungi/mold that's now dried first stage is heavily wounded : misshapen / small growth 2nd stage seem born dead / non existent 3rd and 4th leaves stages seem to grow at the same time it's still to small to take a photo, but it appear to start recover after 8 days
HerbalEdu
HerbalEducommented6 years ago
@ROM101, yup that's the plan ^^ the back up seedling is slow growth for now (visibly weak young roots on transplant) and the wounded one ( some sort of fungi parasite on start up) seem to directly split in two after first stage (still a bit unclear what happen yet, it's still so tiny not really with any clear shape or coloration, i mean there's no second leaf's stage clearly showing yet) i'll try to do a macro shot with my cam, when thing show clearly enough with the heavily wounded one (but so far it's way too tiny, even for a close up shot with my cam)

@ROM101, thks, sensitive seedlings: 8/9 sprouted and 2/8 are unhealthy with wounded first stages and/or slow growth after 7 days, not sure yet if the last two gonna recover quickly enough to fill the 7th slot or if i ll have to replace one blackberry with one northern light clone

Might just be a bit hungrier than the others or could be no good. Id hit her some grown nutes and see what she does over the next few days😎

HerbalEducommented6 years ago
@ROM101, prolly a strain wich seedlings doesn't like much too high humidity - one seedling broke because young root was more looking like weak translucid blob full of water than classic resistant white root (replaced that one with the first healthy back up seedling) - second back up seedling young root's looked a bit red/browny and really small like between mold and growth once out of cotton (that's currently the one with slow growth in the plastic glass) - and finally the one were it seem some sort of fungi ate part of the cotyledons and young main stem and leaves before it get out of soil. 6 other seedlings are fine, but well it remain 9/9 germinated, 8/9 sprouted, 6/8 healthy
