Ganjin Welcome, my friends, to my new diary! 🌱💚
There is some change in my setup and approach to growing. I am only growing one plant at a time now, and that I'll do inside the VGrow. I am going to sell my AC Infinity tent because of space issues and also my lack of time. I want to commit to this hobby but can only allow myself to grow one plant, instead of three. That's why I am sticking with the VGrow. It's pretty small, exceptionally build and pretty nice to handle. Yeah, there can be a height issues, but I figured it out in the Jelly Donutz grow and will continue with that approach. But that's enough about the setup, let's talk about this grow.
I chose the strain High Society from Compound Genetics. It was a really tough choice because I have so many promising genetics from very, very good breeders in the fridge. But since I can only grow one plant at a time, I needed to raffle what I grow next. And originally, the strain Ocean Marker from Robin Hood Genetics (THCTitan) won the raffle, but I wasn't really happy with the result for several reasons:
1. I already grew a strain from titan in my last grow and I really want to try different breeders, too. With limited grows or limited space, I just need to rotate a little bit. Maybe in my next grow I pop another seed from Robin Hood or Square One but for now, I wanted to use someone else's gear.
2. I want to try different types of terpene profiles. Ocean Marker would have been Gas+Candy+Fruit and I already grew this profiles in different combinations (Sour Zoda, Iced Up Cherries, Jelly Donutz..). I know that Permanent Marker and Ocean Fruit are completely different than the strains mentioned, but they're still in the same stratosphere, if you can understand where I am coming from.
3. High Society just was hard stuck in my head since I bought a pack of it. I don't really know why, but my stomach just told me every time: Grow this one next.
So I ditched the raffle and just popped a High Society seed! This strain is a crossing of Cookie's Biscotti with Compound's Jet Fuel Gelato. I can expect variety when it comes to phenos, some leaning to the Biscotti and some leaning to the JFG. And that's a win/win for me, because I never tried Biscotti and I never tried a Gelato. And it's something very new for me. Yes, both have gas in them but both are also dessert strains. And I always wanted to try the nutty, buttery, toffee-like Biscotti and also the Ice Cream side of a Gelato. That's why it stuck in my head I guess, because it's just something completely new and exciting for me. The seed opened after less than 12 hours, which was very fast. I planted it inside a EazyPlug, as always and waited for 3 days. The seedling came out of the EazyPlug after just one day and today, the little seedling removed its shell (kinda) and opened up!
This grow, I also change some other things up a bit. I will plant the seedling in the upcoming days into a solo cup with BioBizz Light Mix. After approximately 2 weeks, when everything goes well, I will transplant the plant into the 19L (5gal) end pot. My grow of the Sour Zoda inside this bigger pot went so much better than my last three grows inside 11L pots. I think the root zone just needs more space and more buffering soil to tolerate my water, which is very rich in minerals. In combination with the bigger pot, I also use the solid nutrient line from BioTabs! This should also help with the nutrient problems I had during my last three grows. We will see in the upcoming weeks how this new approach performs!
Thank you for sticking around, let's have some awesome grows together this year! 💚

Ganjin ☀️ // Day 8 🌱
First week is over and it was a kinda good one. We see that she made big progress and looks just how she is supposed to with 7 days on the clock. The first three-fingered leafs are coming. But let me tell you, she was soooo mad about the transplantation on day 3 from the EazyPlug to the solo cup! 💀The rooting in the EazyPlug was good, I used a normal red cup like in my last grow just to not directly plant her into the 19L (5gal) end pot. But she instantly responded with decoloring of the leafs from the tips, which fortunately got better after 2 days. Now she is completely stable again with a lush green color. She got some scars from it tho, as you can see on her leafs. It was just a shock I guess, so I am not particularly looking forward to her repotting into the final pot.
I mixed all the 20L of soil at once, just to have the end pot already prepared. I used the normal BioBizz Light Mix and spiced it up with 50g/10L Startrex, 50g/10L Silicium Flash and 1 tablespoon of Mycotrex for the transplantation hole. I didn't use an organic fertilizer tablet for the solo cup since it's not really needed and also didn't use Bactrex and Orgatrex yet. That I'll do in the end pot because the solo cup should have plenty of nutrients for the first 2 weeks. I watered the solo cup till saturation with tap water, root juice and epsom salt because of the bad CalMag-ratio of my local water. The soil is still moist, so I think that watering to saturation is even in a small cup like this not needed in the beginning.
💦 Watering: 0,2 L with pH = 6.2
💊 Fertilizer: Startrex, Silicium Flash, Mycotrex, Root Juice, Epsom salt
💡 Light: 200 PPFD at 30%
It says on the info bit that you are using those bio tabs? What are they like? I’m thinking about using some for an outdoor project just as a test, but I’ve personally never used them
@PersonalSmok3s, it's my first time using them, so I can't really tell how this is performs with my bad water (in terms of growing Cannabis, drinking it is really good haha). But for now, I like this a lot. Dry amendments are just funny to use, it's quite meditative to mix the soil with it. And in theory, it should be more stable than liquid fertilizers because of less EC spikes. If you grow with RO water, you shouldn't have my problems tho. So for you, it's maybe even easier. If you look at other diaries (CannarianGrow for example) who use this BioTabs brand, you see what ridiculous results are getting produced with it. Insane frost, insane colors, insane easyness. And Mia from BioTabs @Mia_BIOTABS here on grow diaries is also very helpful and nice. So I can definetly recommend to at least trying them out!
@GanjaGecko, Gerade geilen Podcast Garden Talk with Mr. Grow it angeschaut. Viel interessantes über stabilisierung bei feminisierung. Hab sofort an dich gedacht.
@Stony_German, uhh yeah. Vielen Dank. Ich hab heute die Ehre in die Nachtschicht zu gehen. Da habe uch mehr als genug Zeit mir die zu geben😄💪🏼 ist ein absolutes Rabbithole in das ich mich dazu verloren hab. Das macht den Drang für eine größere Wohnung noch schlimmer. Eben für die Stabilisierung, Phenohunt wäreb noch 1-2 Zelte mit 1m² der Wahnsinn. Wenn das mit den Pollen sammeln, dem bestäuben klappt, werde ich 2 seeds in Erde schmeißen und hoffe ich hab da ein Händchen für. Erstmal hoffen das ich Glück mit dem Pheno der OceanTruffle habe. Mein Kompromiss daher ist ich hoffe auf das beste und wenn es ein Glückspheno ist, bestäube ich von beiden StrawberryLobster jeweils zwei Triebe und wenn der Pheno es nicht wert ist dann wird ein unterer Trieb bestäubt um schonmal zu testen.
Viel Glück mit diesem neuen grow. Du machst da genau richtig und ehrlich gesagt mach ich das geauso. Auch wenn ich Titans Arbeit liebe möchte auch ich andere Breeder, andere Terps etc. versuchen. Genau darum habe ich immer so einen mix im Zelt. Auch wenn es verdammt stressig sein kann wenn sie verschiedenes wachstum haben. Nach den letzten Fruity und Candy wollte ich diesmal Potenz und für den nächsten grow Sour, Pine Richtung Kushy. Immer das gleiche wird einfach langweilig und es gibt so viel Auwahl. Das wichtigste ist das du breeder wählst die mit Herz dabei sind, ich halte rein gar nichts von diesen White Label Massen Seedbanks wie RQS, Weedseedexpress oder Zamnesia. Mit Compound machst du auf jeden Fall nichts falsch.
@Ganjin, Alle die du da aufgezählt hast, hab ich auch im Kühlschrank. Was du auch immer gut fährst ist Ethos, Relentless und Bloom. Ach man warum haben wir dieses besch..eidenes Gesetz. Ich würde am liebsten alles growen. Ich beneide alle die heute in den 20 ern sind. Bin 52 und musste fast 30 Jahre mit riesen paranoia growen und hatte keine Auswahl wie heute aber ich hoffe mir bleiben noch vieeeele Jahre die wundervolle Pflanze zu genießen.😆😏
@Stony_German, man merkt aber auch an deinen Ergebnissen, dass du das seit Jahrzehnten machst haha. Bin selbst noch blutiger Anfänger.. aber noch in meinen (Ende) 20ern 🤓 Hawii hat hier auch schon kommentiert, so ein Social Club mit dieser Community ist ein schöner Traum. Dann könnten wir alles was wir wollen professionell growen 🌱 Und dir bleiben gewiss noch 40 Jahre mit der Pflanze 🎅🏻
@Hawii_ReLoaded, danke, Bro. Ja, die haben echt vieles auf Lager, was ich gerne growen würde. (Marshmallow OG, La Bomba, ...), aber Zeit und Platz fehlt haha
