PapaTerps Potion - Wizard Trees
Hello all, SPRING is almost upon us and grows that I had started around Christmas are now well into their flowering period, so I've decided to select a few strains to start growing for Spring and into Summer. 🙌
Potion is a new strain by Wizard Trees, which interested me because of its gentics, a cross of Dark Matter and Black Magic, which are known to be gas heavy, but this strain has sweet & spicy flavours with stimulating and relaxing affects, which is exactly what I like! I know a lot of people don't like the more expensive brands, but I find, if I'm going to put as much effort as I do into my grow, then I at least want to feel like I have good genetics in front of me, so please don't judge! 🙏
I will be vegging her for about 4-5 weeks, using a mixture of growing techniques to get a desirable yield, including topping with some low stress training, and when she is ready, I will be putting her into flower.
You're more than welcome to follow along with my grow, I will try to put as much information about my process without overloading the diary with "too much language" 😅
Day 1 - Seed dropped into a cup of water, RO'd and pH'd to 6.3 - she will remain here until the seed pops and a taproot appears.
Day 2 - The seed has already popped and a taproot has appeared, 12 hours after I dropped it into the water 🎉 I removed water from the cup to the point where the seed was just above the bottom of the cup, so that the seed doesn't fall below the waterline. I will leave her in the cup for another 12 hours to allow the taproot to get a little longer and then I will place her into her starter pot 👍🏻 I've checked the seed again, about 9 hours later, she has an acceptable taproot length and is ready to go into her starter pot! She will remain here until she reaches the vegetative stage, after which, she will be moved into her main grow pot; a 20L fabric pot. I will update this section a few more times to outline her progress 👍🏻
Day 3 - seedling appeared from the soil with the shell still attached, so I removed it along with the membrane - both of which came off very easy! Super quick germination, I love it!! I'll let her grow now for the next few days/weeks until she's ready to go into her main grow pot 💪
Day 5 - she has opened up and has started to stretch towards the light! I'm so impressed with her progress so far, she looks so heavy and is progressing so fast! For now, I will let her grow and I will update this diary again when she enters veg 👍🏻
Day 8 - she's growing really well and is developing her first set of leaves really well! I've moved all the seedlings into larger starter pots, to allow them to grow a bit more before I move them into their main grow pots - this is mainly to buy me another week or two, to finish off the plants that are currently in my veg tent 👍🏻
Day 12 - she has progressed really well and is getting close to veg. In the next couple of days, I will move her into her main grow pot, which will be a 10L fabric pot, with a mix of All-Mix and Light-Mix BioBizz soil, I will also start to introduce bottle nutrients into the feeding schedule, starting off with 250ml and slowly increasing this volume to 2L over the next few weeks. But for now, I will let her grow and develop her root structure! 🙏

Day 14 - She has developed her first set of leaves and is now working on the second, her stem has also started to thicken-up, so from today I consider her "in veg" 🙌 While shes in her starter pot, she has been recieving 100ml of RO tap water pH'd to 6.3 with Root Juice and the CalMag, which brings the pH to 6.5. every second day. She will remain in her start pot for another few days while I wait for the Monaco to enter veg, so I can plant them all on the same day 👌

Day 23 - I've transplanted her to her main grow pot, a 10L "original air pot", which are meant to actively enhance the development of healthy roots. I also watered her with 1L of RO tap water, with defined nutrients mixed individually in order and then pH'd to 6.3. I removed her starter leaves as they are now totally shaded, I will let her settle in over the next few days before she's watered again. 🙌🏻

Day 29 - I've watered her with 1L of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, mixed individually in order and then pH'd to 6.3. I've altered her nutrients from this week, switching the fish mix out for the bio grow, I've also started to introduce bloom nutrients, as I prepare her for the 12 hour light schedule; she will need a couple more weeks of veg before she begins this transition 👍🏻. From next week, her water volume will increase and she will begin her training 🙌🏻 I've one of her top most fan leaves, to allow more light to reach the lower nodes, other than that, she's growing great 💪🏻

Day 36 - I've watered her with 1.5L of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, mixed individually in order and then pH'd to 6.3. She is a bit small still, but she has grown a lot in the last week, hopefully that continues! Lots of work done on her this week, she had a few of her fan leaves removed to improve airflow and light penetration and she has been topped 👍🏻 She now has eight stems for me to work with. So after all this stress, I will leave her to grow for a week or so and then I will start prepping her for flower 🙏🏻🌸

Day 53 -
🚿 she has been watered her with 2L of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, mixed individually in order and then pH'd to 6.3. I've once again upped her bloom nutrients by 0.5ml, as I prepare her to go into flower.
✂️ She had a lot of work performed last week, so this week I've just allowed her to recover and grow more. This will be her last week in veg, so my goal for this week is to ensure she has an even canopy before she starts the switch over to 12-12 👍🏻
☘️ She has recovered well from the topping and defoliation last week and is looking strong and healthy again👌🏻

Day 62
🚿 Watered her with 2L of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, mixed individually in order and then pH'd to 6.3. I haven't increased her nutrients just yet, but the bloom nutrients will be increased when she starts to show signs of flower 👍🏻
✂️ She started the switch over to 12-12 a few days also, where I gradually reduced the light schedule from 18 to 12, because of this, she's had no work done to her, to ensure she has enough energy start her stretch 💪🏻
🌸 She has started her 12 hour light schedule today, so she should start to see changes in her grow patterns over the next few days, but nothing of note just yet👍🏻

Day 73
🚿 Watered her with 2L of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, mixed individually in order and then pH'd to 6.3. I've increased her nutrients over the last few waterings to ensure she's getting enough nutrients - she has been very thirsty of the last few days, so I've been watering her every second day.
✂️ She's had no work done to her, because shes in the stretch phase, and I don't tend to perform any defoliation at this time - but she will require a lot of work in the coming days, as she is quite bushy at the center of her canopy.
🌸 She has stretched really well and is just over half way through that process, you can see her bud sites starting to develop - no realy smell of her yet, but I expect that to change in the coming days 👍🏻

✂️ She had a good amount of defoliation this week, she's been lollipopped and a number of larger fan leaves that were obstructing lower bud sites were removed 🏻
🌸 Great couple of weeks for her, she has completed her stretch and is now focusing on developing and bulking her flower 💪🏻

Day 92
🚿 She has been watered about six times since the last entry, each time with 2L of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, mixed individually in order and then pH'd to 6.5. I've upped her nutrients to the max, where it'll stay for the next two weeks while she bulks her flower!
✂️ No work required on her this week, just the usual inspection for pests and diseases.
🌸 She is in week 5 of bloom and has been working really hard developing her bud and is now focusing on bulking! Her fan leaves have taken on a deep purple colour which makes the trichomes look like sugar and her flowers aroma has started to fill the tent, strong notes of sweet diesel and herbal background, very pleasant!

Day 101
🚿 She has been watered every second day this week, each time with 2L of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, mixed individually in order and then pH'd to 6.5.
✂️ I've removed a couple of larger sugar leaves from around the flowers at the top canopy to improve light penetration, and just the usual inspections 👌🏻
🌸 She is at week 6 of bloom and she is working hard on bulking her flower! As she enters the latter stages of her flowering phase, her fan leaves have taken on a deep purple colour and her pistils have began to fade to amber 🍂 Her aroma has also started to fill the tent with notes of herbs and sweetness! Very autumnal!
