GrowerBaal Thanks to Johnny, who made it possible to grow two of their strains, this grow the Tropical Ice Cream - F026 will be just for fun. I took a 4 l plastic pot filled it with Plagron Light Mix and a hand full of Perlite, added 20 g of limestone and mixed it. The seed is watering for about 12h in some water with a drop of Plagron Seed Booster Plus. Tomorrow the seed will be planted. I put some coco in the middle of the pot and digged a 1 cm hole, there i sunk the seed. At the end i have done a plastic dome over all. Now we have to wait.

GrowerBaal Day 1 When i opened the tent today, she was breaking the surface of the soil. After some hours she still got the shell on her, so i helped her a bit. Day 2 She stretched a lot over the last 24h. Had her in the shadow of other plant. I put her in direct light. No watering. Day 3 She stretched further to 6 cm, so i erased the dome. Have given her 50 ml of tab water as the surface of the soil was very dry. Day 4 Today she still had 6 cm, so she stopped stretching. Looks good now. Gave her 50 ml tab water from the top. Day 5 She had 7 cm today. I gave her 40 ml of water to rise the humidity, as its quite dry in this tent. Day 6 She stayed at 7 cm. Did not water her. Day 7 She had still 7 cm. No watering.

GrowerBaal Day 15 She had 15 cm height. I did not water her today Day 16 Today she had 11 cm. No watering. Day 17 She had 12 cm height today. No watering today as she will get transplanted tomorrow. Day 18 Today i transplanted her, but she fell while preparing. Hope it doesnt effect her to much. For the transplantation i filled yesterday a 20l textile pot with Plagron Light Mix, i added 100g of limestone, Perlite, some Trichoderma and Mycorrhiza. After the tranplantation i gave her 1000 ml of tab water adjusted to 6,2 ph and 21,3 degrees from the top. Day 19 She took some damage yesterday. There are parts of some leaves which dried, as the roots were damaged and and cant provide enough water. Will take some days to recover, i guess. Day 20 She is in a bad shape. But her roots took serious damage and this will take some time to heal. Day 21 She looks bad. Today she also got feeding. 1000 ml of a solution with 50% of Alga Grow adjusted to 6.4 ph, 23,2 degrees, 585 ppm from the bottom and 1000 ml from the top.

GrowerBaal Day 22 The fourth week started and she still looks shitty. It will probably take a lot of time to get her fully recovered. Day 23 No real changes can be seen yet. Day 24 Today she looked a bit better than yesterday. Think she will slowly make progress. She still had 12 cm. Day 25 She had 13 cm height. I gave her 1000 ml of a solution with 50% of Plagron Alga Grow and some additives. The solution had 20,1 degrees, 6,5 ph and 690 ppm. She also had to move and stand now under a Mars Hydro FC 1500 Evo at 50% and 40 cm distance. Day 26 Today she had 13,5 cm height. I did not water her. Day 27 No watering. She had 14 cm today and is slowly recovering. Day 28 Today she had 15 cm. I will probably water her tomorrow.

Day 40 She had 31 cm this morning and looks quite good. Her side branches are quickly stretching, especially when compared to The Gassy One. Day 41 She had 33 cm today. I will probably water her tomorrow. Day 42 The watering is delayed to tomorrow. She had 35 cm today. Her new leaves are still showing sings of a small overdose of nutrition, but as long as it stays at this level, it is fine for me.

GrowerBaal Day 64 Her fourth full week on 12/12 ended end and she started to smell sweet and getting frosty. The height did not change and stayed at 97 cm. I erased some additional leaves. Day 65 She hermed. I found several Pollen sacks after i found one and looked further. She had to go. As this is the second plant in 2 month and i did not top her and she had no other stress i am aware of, i have to look for light leaks this weekend.

GrowerBaal
GrowerBaal commented6mo ago
@Growingdaddyo, I even have a proper lux meter. However, I've gotten out of the habit of using it. I always have different strains at various stages in one tent, so I just go by feel now; I can never set it optimally for more than one plant anyway. I’ll just see how it goes from here. The Tropical Ice Cream is also a bit affected, but the Gassy one honestly looks pretty bad.
Growingdaddyo
Growingdaddyo commented6mo ago
@GrowerBaal, maybe a kind of "parasol" to make over the little ones, or something like that😅
GrowerBaal
GrowerBaal commented6mo ago
@Growingdaddyo, I had the Tropical in the shade of the autos at first, but then it started to stretch. 😒 But maybe that's why it's not so yellow. I'm going to let it run like this for now, let's see how it turns out. I’ll probably start the next ones in my Veg tent again.

Has a good stretch, right? Looks really nice! 👍 We're about on the same timeline, I'm curious to see how it goes from here..
Growingdaddyo
Growingdaddyo commented4mo ago
@GrowerBaal, you couldn't have described it better, stoner surprise🤣👌 straight to the mind cinema.. But you're right, it's like a real grab bag. My first contest ever, but so far it's going better than I thought. What do you think, feeling-wise, about the Indica/Sativa ratio? A bit Sativa-leaning?
GrowerBaal
GrowerBaal commented4mo ago
@Growingdaddyo, From the growth structure, yeah more sativa dominant. Also, I think it has an enormous stretch. The Gassy One looks quite indica-like to me, but it's a bit different anyway...😎😏
Growingdaddyo
Growingdaddyo commented4mo ago
@GrowerBaal, that's true, the gassy one is totally slow in growth compared to that. I would welcome it if it turns out to be Indica. 😄😉

@tantrumrage, I have seen last contest some grew both strains, otherwise i would probably not have asked. Love to compare them afterwards, especially as they should have quite different flavors. Maybe you can still ask, i dont know.

@GERGrowDesigns, I still don't know if it will end up here. I don't make diaries for all my plants, it already takes a bit of time each day and it can get overwhelming at some point. Overall, it's a lot of fun, but sometimes it can be too much when I have to water several plants and then keep track of everything here.

Looks like the soil is the problem with your two Dutch ladies..
GrowerBaal
GrowerBaal commented5mo ago
@Prof_Weed, Why the soil? What makes you think that?
Prof_Weed
Prof_Weed commented5mo ago
@GrowerBaal, is this soil new or reused? The surface looks kind of dry.. I'm guessing it's your extra limestone; the problems started about a week after you added that, before they looked better.
GrowerBaal
GrowerBaal commented5mo ago
@Prof_Weed, So this one here, the Tropical Ice Cream, looks the way it does mainly because it fell during repotting and lost a large part of its roots. Before the accident, it actually looked pretty normal. However, it's slowly getting back on track. With the second lady, the The Gassy One, you might be right. I also don't usually add dolomite lime to the seedling pots, but only to the final pots for photos. And the soil was new. Just Plagron Light Mix.
