PapaTerps Holy Snow - Greenhouse Seed Company
Hello, SPRING is upon us and grows that I had started before and around Christmas are now well into their flowering period or harvested, so I decided to select a few strains to start growing for Spring and into Summer. š
Holy Snow by Greenhouse Seed Co. is a cross between Hawaiian Snow and Holy Punch, which was one of the last creations of Franco Loja who died in 2017.
I selected this one purely on one of its effects, "giggly", which is a trait that I am missing in my current "collection"... I really need a giggly go to!!
She has a 9-10 week flowering time, so I should have her ready for the end of Summer, but she is known to stretch up to around 200cm, which is 20cm taller than my current tent, so I'll probably only veg her for about 3-4 weeks, and then I'll use a mixture of growing techniques, including topping with some low stress training to ensure I keep her small enough to maintain an even canopy amoung all four strains that I have selected for this grow!
As always, you are all 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" ensuring to keep the key points and not to repeat steps that I have already mentioned in the diary š Happy Growing guys! ā
Day 1 - Seed dropped into a cup of water, RO and pH'd to 6.3. She will remain here until the seed pops and a taproot appears.
Day 3 - Seedling has a night long taproot, so she has been moved to a small starter pot, where she will live for the next few weeks.
Day 5 - seedling has protruded through the soil with the shell and membrane still attached, so I have manually removed them. Her starter leaves have yet to open, but so far so good!
Day 6 - her starter leaves have appeared, so I will just let her grow now, I'll update this when she's in veg.
Day 8 - shes starting to shoot up now, she's around 4cm, a few more days and she'll enter the veg stage šš»

Day 8 - She has started to grow her second set of leaves, so at this point I consider her "in veg" š She's progressing really really well, to be at this stage after only 8 days is crazy! I've moved her into larger starter pot, to allow her to grow a bit more before I move her into the main grow pot - this is mainly to buy me another week or two, to finish off the plants that are currently in my veg tent šš»

Day 20 - watered with 200ml of RO tap water, mixed with the defined nutrients and pH'd to 6.3 - this was done every second or third day so far, depending on how dry the soil was. She is still in her starter pot for now, tomorrow she will be moved into her main grow pot, which will be a 10L fabric pot. She has grown really well so far and is already onto her fifth set of leaves, but she won't progress too much more until she is moved into a larger pot, as I'm pretty sure her root mass has outgrown the starter pot. Nothing done on her just yet, I've added the fish mix to her nutrients to get her started, more will be added from next week - I will update this again when she has been moved into her main pot š
Day 21 - she has been transferred to her main grow pot!

Day 34 - watered with 1.5L of RO tap water, mixed with the defined nutrients and pH'd to 6.3. Lots of work on her this week, she's had a good defoliation of all the first few leaves that she grew and are now spent. She has also grown around 9 buds sites, so I've topped her main stem and now we have 8 main stemsšš» I've also pinned down her lowest most stems, to force them to grow outward, to ensure we give her buds enough space to growš¤š». I will now let her hormones kick in and start pushing growth power out to these 8 stems - hopefully we start seeing her mature a bit more over the next couple of weeks as she prepares herself for bloom šš»

Day 43 - watered with 1.5L of RO tap water, mixed with the defined nutrients and pH'd to 6.3. She has grown really well and is just about ready to switch into bloom! I've altered her nutrients in her feed to make the transition to bloom a little less stressful and I've performed some LST on her middle nodes, to force them to grow away from the lower nodes, so they get more light during bloomšš» I've also removed a few fan leaves to improve general airflow and light penetration šŖš»so yeah, this will be her last week in veg, from next week, she will be in the flowering tent šš»

šæ watered twice this week, with 2L of RO tap water, mixed with the defined nutrients, individually, in order and pH'd to 6.3. I've upped her nutrients again, increasing the Grow to promote growth, as well as the BioHeaven and Acti-Vera to help with the plants metabolism and overall health šš»
āļø She's had a good amount of work performed this week, from a second round of topping, lollipoping and Defoliation as well as this, Ive also altered her low stress training a bit, pulling the outer stems down so the canopy was more even šŖš»
šø This will more than likely be her last week in veg, when space becomes available in the flower tent, she will be moved over to there and will then be on a 12-12 schedule šš»

āļø No work performed on her this week, as she has just switched to a 12 hour light schedule and will enter the stretch phase soon; so I don't want to stress her too much in this phase šš» She has a nice level canopy, so hopefully she stretches evenly now too š¤š»
šø I gradually reduced the light hours from 18 to 12 over the last few days! She will now remain on the 12 hours of light for the rest of her life cycle šš»

Day 89
šæ She's had four feeding's this week, of 2L of RO tap water mixed with the defined nutrients, individually, in order and pH'd to 6.5. I've increased her bloom nutrients once again, as she has started to develop and bulk her flower.
āļø I've lollipopped her up to about the fifth or sixth bud site from the top canopy, to improve overall airflow in the tent and to reduce the chances of mould - its unlikely that anything below this point would have grown to anything other than trimming's anyway.
šø She's just into her fifth week of bloom now, she has completed her stretch and is unlikely to grow much taller than this, as she will switches her focus to developing her flower. This one is a performer and that extra week of veg has given her a lovely even canopy with 12 major node sites, which is my second largest ever - to be fair, I normally only grow small yielders. No real scent off her just yet, as she is still young, but I expect that to change in the coming days.

āļø No work required this week, she is growing well and has enough airflow and light penetration.šš»
šø Into her sixth week of flower now, and we're starting to see her flower take shape, with long torpedo shape buds wrapped with sativa style fan and sugar leaves! The Haze lineage shining through! We should start to see these flower thicken up over the next few weeks, before she enters final maturity šš»
