Germination24d ago
CBDFarmer On the 22nd of April I started germinating 3 seeds of CBD Auto Charlotte's Angel. On the 26th I added 3 seeds of CBD Auto 20:1, with the intention of selecting two CA and one 20:1, based on the speed of growth and best look overall.
After a number of grows I noticed that the genetic of the plant plays a major role in the final results. So, considering that after all Darwinism must be applicable to plants as well, I decided to run this selection process.
CAs took 7 full days to show 1-2 cm taproots, while 20:1s took just 48 hours, and the one I selected from the latter strain was a plant that during that time outperformed all other seeds from both batches with 3 cm of taproot, a real beast, as I had never seen anything like it.
The pictures show that 20:1 on her own. While the remaining are CAs that have all emerged. I already unrooted one 20:1 which had not emerged yet. So, I am in the process to select the two CAs that will make it to week 2.
I am sorry for the cruelty to an extent, but at the same time, I really need to maximise the harvest, my time and resources spent, as the set-up is really small.
Today 30th of April is Day 1 for all.

CBDFarmer Week 1 ended and plants are doing well, with no issues recorded. The second Charlotte just smaller than the rest, as it was the last born.
Environmental conditions quite stable with light at 25% and 35cm from the plants, to avoid light stress. I ll dial it up to 50% mid-week 2.
As feeding schedule, I m pushing on root enhancers with 3 waterings during the last 7 days. The middle one with plain water and microbes, that I add once a week. The remaining 2 with the nutrients I recorded for the week.
Looking good and moving to week 2.

CBDFarmer 14 days from seed tomorrow.
Week 2 went on with no issues. Plants are doing well in my opinion. The difference between the CBD 20:1 and the other two is due to the strong genetic of the former. So I consider her an exception and the other two just growing normally. The smallest was born late, so I am not concerned.
I started LST on the beast, just to keep it down a little, and soon I will do the same with the second by size.
Feeding them every 2 days with 1 liter each, with nutrients twice a week and plain water plus microbes in the mid-watering session. When feeding nuts I added 1ml/l bio-grow and 0.5 ml/l Bio-Bloom for the beast only. It’s early for PK however I’m trying to avoid a PK deficiency that I often recorded around week 3-4 with the Biobizz line. Rootbastic and some early low dose of Bio-Bloom should avoid that.
It’s getting hot over here, so I turned on the 30w fixed fan on the lamp to keep the tent below 28 as much as possible. Unfortunately, the lamp is at its 6th cycle and has started overheating, although it is set at 50% only. I moved from 25% to 50% since the 9th day of growth with no issues recorded.
See you in a week.

CBDFarmer End of week 3 and everything is just fine.
The beast (Fast Bud Auto Cbd 20:1) is outgrowing the other 2, but it is not a surprise for the reasons I explained in the past weeks.
The 2 Dutch Passion Auto Cbd Charlotte’s Angel are catching up and going well. Even the smallest is now growing at a faster pace.
I dialed up the 150w lamp to 75% at day 22, at a distance of 30-35 cm. I will monitor to see whether there is some issue coming up.
I spotted few yellow stains on the leaves and increased CalMag, as it seems a CMag deficiency. For that reason this week I will feed at PH 6.5, trying to in increase CMag uptake. The two Dutch are fed with the schedule of the week with a ppm of 440. While for the FastBud the only adjustment is Biogrow at 1.5ml/L, bringing total ppm to 550. The rest is the same. Every other watering, it s just plain water plus 0.4 g/L of microbes.
Finally, at the beginning of week 4 I am going a bit heavier with LST, trying to spread the plants evenly and adjust to create 3-4 main colas. I have also pruned couple of low branches in each plant to increase light penetration down the canopy.
So far so good.
