Germination
2mo ago
Phaleg "Crossing together" fingers and 2 different moon calendars, I started on APR 12 to germinate my seeds from Royal Queen Seeds. It is first time that I try this brand, so I am excited 👻 On APR 15, all seeds but Silver Haze hatched properly, I am optimistic that also Silver Haze will hatch soon because I saw some whitening around the seeds! NOTE ABOUT MY DIARY: I will grow my seeds in a balcony about 1.000m above the sea level, for now they are germinating inside the oven with the wet paper system, with a wrapping bag. I will try to keep the diary as updated as possible, providing also growing details, size of growing pots and so on. I am a medical patient and I will add a final note about effects for glaucoma / increased eye pressure and insomnia, anxiety and depression. On APR 15, all seeds but Silver Haze hatched properly, I am optimistic that also Silver Haze will hatch soon because I saw some whitening around the seeds!

Phaleg The last 2 weeks weren't that exciting, temperature went down here, even if in the night I keep the plants indoor, daily temperature was also lower and mostly cloudy or overcast, so not so many hours of sunlight and the small plants did not grow visibily. I attach photos and a video, you can read the strain names on the pot, the black ones are Do-Si-Dos auto and the small in the red pot is Lemon Shining Silver Haze. For honor of the truth, I must say that the Lemon Shining Silver Haze, I got for free from a different type of purchase last year, so this can be the reason why only 1/2 hatched and why it is so different from others. I might eventually choose to exclude this strain from this year growth.

Phaleg Another chilly week was here, with often overcast weather and plants grew very little. ICE grew the most, maybe because of the bigger starting pot they have or because they require less warm and sun compared to the others. DO SI DOS AUTO are the smallest so far, maybe because it is an auto or because the starting pot is smaller. WHITE WIDOW are doing average compared to the others while COOKIES GELATO I had to reduce to 1 out of 2 for necessity of space and logistic. (!) Please note that these are just the starting pot. I normally move them to larger pots when they have at least 5 or 7 pointed leaves. Best will be selected to grow in larger pots and the other will be free to grow in Nature, like Queen Isabel of Spain said to Cristoforo Colombo: "please spread this plant" (initially said because hemp was used to create sails and material for sailing the sea)

Phaleg Today was "the day", I had to select some ot them for reason of space and discretion and the selected plants have been moved to bigger pots, as it follows: Do-Si-Dos (auto), clay pot about 15L = 10cm height (the other one showing already pre-flowering was discarded) Cookies Gelato, 9,5L pot = 10cm height White Widow, 9,5L pot = 11cm height 2x ICE, 9,5L pot + 12,5L pot for the second = 11-12cm height (I kept both because they were both amazing!) The choice of the pot volume was based on the expected height to be discrete, which should be max 80cm and ChatGPT helped me to calculate the pot volume (it suggested me 7,5 to 10L), but I was slightly more generous especially with the auto-flowering. Last year my Sticky Orange auto got the best yield with the same clay pot, so I tried the same :P

Phaleg Warmer temperature here also in the mountains now and plants are getting more sun and growing better. These are their height in cm, photos will show how they look and grow. I noticed that Do-Si-Dos auto is already showing signs of flowering, despite it is still short, but plants know better ^^ 2x ICE = 25 & 27 cm White Widow = 24 cm Cookies Gelato = 23 cm Do-Si-Dos Auto = 22 cm

Phalegstarted grow question 4d ago
Some of my plants (ICE & White Widow) are developing a strange trend to lean away from sun. Balcony is exposed to S, but they bend to N. Should I correct it with tutor? I am concerned that the flowering weight will bend them down. I upload photos, please HELP 😅

were these indoor plants before? the idea that they might have been transplanted cooked is also a good one. rotate them.. did they keep bending from sun? good way to rule out that cause/effect. the only way it'd bend away is because it's getting more light than it can handle and a bunch of other potential symptoms that would coincide to verify... very unlikely if they were grown outdoors to start, but if you raised them with artificial light, the sun is a completely different animal.

Maybe its from the wind?? it looks like they are growing towards the light in the photos but could be a weird perspective. If you want to streak them I don't see an issue with it. maybe don't stab the pot with a streak but tie them up to the railing with string or thick rubber wire. Don't want them so tight that they snap with wind gotta have some wiggle room.
