Realy looking forward to this grow. Two of my all time favourite blueberry and cheese combined in one plant. Thank you royal queen seeds lol. So I decided to give RQS starter pack a go. But I did modified it a bit. It’s a simple starter you make up 1l of water add the sachets stir then soak the tray for 10 secs and put seeds 5mm into the soil then wait 5 days. Well I grow in hydroponics with jiffy cubes as starting cubes so I just soaked jiffy cubes in the solution then placed seeds right in. Blow me down 3 days and 3 of the lady’s are out the soil well Impressed how well it worked and easy for this noobie grower. So far impressed with RQS got my eye on their pineapple Kush for next gen or the hulkberry maybe even north thunderfuck... to many to pick from will have to think it over lol. But happy with this starter kit and all going good so far.
All going really well so far they popped out the ground and doing there thing I ordered a co2 bag that should be here in a day or so, and apart from that I m happy no signs of bugs or deficiency’s
One of my plants kind of has this trait, it’s weird. If it was tobacco mosaic virus it can spread from plant to plant but others seem fine, it’s probably leaf variegation who’s is a rare mutation due to pigment masking another pigment. Kinda of like albino I guess. I don’t think it does anything to yield she’ll be alright but if it spread into the other then your looking at a virus so keep an eye on thing. That being said she should be good to go. Happy growing and here is a link. https://www.maximumyield.com/definition/133/variegation
Had some problems this week with my water table ph dropped from 5.8 to 5.1 and the plants showed it. I got the ph balanced back to 5.8 and given some advanced nuts cal mag. Not sure if it’s something to do with the canna. I m new too it so don’t know but after sorting the ph and giving some calmag extra the plants seem happier and are growing fine and leaf damage has frozen were it was.
Ok sorted the ph drop turns out air stones was messing with the ph. Turned it off and all good. Start of week 5 of veg, last week before I switch to flower. Having some problems with water temp being a touch high so ordered a cheap water cooler. Gave the girls a bit of a trim just to help the smaller branches get some light.
Ok started flower today. Tank flushed and cleaned out and new nutrients added and all 4 girls looking great. Having to rotate frozen bottles of water to keep the nutrient temp down, seems to be working fine tbh lol, can’t wait to start to see buds lol.
Ok start of second week of flower and I must say I m mega impressed with canna boost. Buds after only one week 😂 got well miffed with trying to keep water temps down with a constant flow of frozen bottles of water so went out and invested in a hailea 100a and wow it’s epic a nice ice cold 19c well happy.
Start of week 3 of flower all seems to be going to plan. Plants look lovely and healthy they on 2 feeds 6 hours apart was thinking of dropping it to 3 feeds every 4 hours during light period only. So they get more nutrients. Apart from that all looks great.
Start of week 5 all is going great no signs of any problems buds getting fatter and sticky, no real complaints next week it is pk13/14 week so will be a drain of tank flush and re fill. But at the moment no real complaints at all.
Start of week six of flower, pk 13/14 week. All is ticking over very nicely, buds getting fatter every day and the smell is fantastic. Looking forward to smoking this one. Have to say there has been no signs of any problems she is a strong genetic.
Start of week 7 of flower. All seems to be going great. Fat sticky buds that make ya mouth water and the smell is epic. Flushed the tank coz last week was pk 13/14 week. All seems good no complaints really. Proper easy to grow strong genetics.
Ok start of week 8 of flower we prob 1 week more then flush everything getting so heavy now all branch’s leaning heavy. Going up local grow shop tomorrow for some yoyo’s lol. I have no complaints everything is going great no deficiency’s or disease it’s just all sticky goodness with a sweet smell can’t wait to see taste her.
Ok start of week 9 all looking fantastic. Going to dragon force this week then prob start flush next week. Very happy with the grow it’s just been a total pleasure so far. Really strong plant very strong smelling sticky buds and I can’t wait to taste her.
Ok week 10 flush week. I don’t know why but as you can see one of my front plants has brown patch of buds, like it’s died dn why it’s only that plant and that part. Gutted coz everything was going so god dam well. Will be chopping her down this sat so will updated you with yield ASAP.
All chopped down now and on dry. Will updated next week with final harvest. Smells lush though. I did have some bud rot had to cut some out. Lost I would say about 14 to 28 grams. Bit gutted but learning all the time 😊
Ok tbh I had an easy grow till the end when my fan in the room broke but due to it being at the back I couldn’t get to it. So ended with a little bud rot that I had to cut out. I would grow this strain again it’s a proper smelly bud and a dam fine mellow smoke. I learned more this grow and hope to carry that over to the next grow.
Yo mate hope you are good like the setup.
You can tell me to piss off and keep my nose out but I would say that you might b overwatering. I ran a 8 pot Wilma with 5” grow Dan cubes and found that until they are 2-3 weeks old they only need a drink once every few days. Get a moisture meter(cheap) and this will help a lot. Less is more with hydro. The green algae appearing on top of the Rockwool is a symptom of overwatering as is slow growth and drooping leaves. Hope that help. 👍
@Greymangenetics, as always i never think a friendly helping hand is anything but good. thank you for your time in commenting. i only started giving them water today, until now i just been spraying them every morning with ph 5.8 water. the timer for feed cycle is every 4 hours they come on for 30 mins this runs from 6 am till 12 midnight. do you think i should go every 6 hours instead of every 4?
@RastaMouse, nice, it should do you good! I think hydroponics becomes even more attractive once you are not at risk of getting pythium.
Ever considered using something like hydroguard? It contains bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Bacillus + chiller RDWC is something that I'd maybe like to switch to in the future
@BillMonroe, it does put out a little but I cut a vent out the back and all the heat is chucked out of the unit. It draws air in the front. Well happy with it. Not cheap but if the yield is good and quality then it pays for it self in the long run.
Yo dude hope your good.
Just a heads up. That brown patch is potentially either mature bud rot (grey mould) or Pythium. Which affects the root system. Careful smoking fungal spores. If you do see mould just trim off the section that is affected as if h don’t it will spread. Even when cut down. Also I always trim my cheese nugs straight off the stems as bud rot usually starts between the bud and the stalk.
Hope that helps mate. 👍
@Greymangenetics, yeh thanks bro I googled it and got that it’s likely bud rot due to my fan being so low down. I have cut out the effected area an so far no new areas shown up. Totally gutted she was going so well and so close to finished. My tank is water cooled to 19 so prob not pitherin. Plus ph is stable. Thank you for the heads up though bro 👍😊
Hi Ganjaman,
looking good. just one question I notice a bit of brown on the tips of a couple of leaves is that okay? Only asking in case it happens to me and I shouldn't be over concerned.👍
Kitkat
@kitkat332986, normaly a sign of nutri burn if on many leafs deff a sign. but i watch my ppm every morning and add ph'ed water to keep my ppm in the 900 ish range atm, in a couple weeks it will climb to around 1200 ish. i m not a pro but from what i been studdying its all about listening to the plant. i noticed a couple burned tips but not on many leafs but still dropped the ppm by 100 to be safe and no new burned tips since, all our ladys like different lvls they will tell you what they need and what lvls. atm having massive problems with water temp hitting 27c so had to go out and get a hialea hc 100a water chiller to get that temp back down to 20c. till it shows i m just chucking frozen bottles of watter in the res to keep the temp down best i can. ok i went of on a tangent there sorry lol
Hey how are you liking the Wilma system? I see that you started out with soil - peat I guess, some light or pro mix. Do you feel that this is better? Do you need to take efforts to cool the water, considering you're in summer? (I am guessing by the temperatures)
edit: Oh, your comment in this week already answered my second question haha.
The ease of growing healthy plants with peat mixes is keeping me from trying something else
@BillMonroe, I love the Wilma. I didn’t get on with soil, dn why. I did love the flavour from soul grow though. There are pros and cons to all I supose. Hydro gives bigger yields and stronger smoke but flavour is lower. Plus hydro is quicker to grow and easyer t flush. I m personally a hydro fan for sure 🤣
By they way I have a picture in week 9 of my mother plant with this, the leaf is split right down the middle light green to dark green, it’s the pineapple chunk and she is the fastest growing of all 4!
Good to hear mate.👍👍 I would honestly water them for a half hour timer slot once a day. Also Allow a minimum of 4 hours from when you water to when you have lights off period. You do not want water sat around with the lights off. Causes all sorts of problems. Back to the watering quickly ... as a test get a unused Rockwool cube same size. Soak it in water (same as 30 min feed) and leave in the grow space with plants. You can then monitor its moisture content over 24 hours. My prediction is that if you soaked the cube it would be wet for between 24-48 hours in normal conditions. Therefore you should not be watering anymore than that.
It’s a critical stage for plants and in my opinion is the most important. Give it a shot. Cheers
@Greymangenetics, wicked i will change the timer now so they only get feed once a day. will keep that up for a week or 2 then start upping it in slower increments making sure the last feed is atleast 4 hours before there bed time. thank you so much for your advice much appreciated.
Hi Ganjaman,
I'm going to follow this diary as Ive never seen a hydroponic grow from the start and very interested to see how its done. I'm a soil grower for ease but growing now fascinates me. Hope everything goes well and the ladies are strong healthy and give a big yield 👍
Sweet mate. I reckon they will love it. Message me when your ready for your next one and I’ll send you some of my bad boy wedding gelato cuttings! Good talking to ya.
Take it easy man. 👍👌🏻
