Germination rate was 100% 👌
The plants growth under fluorescent lamps (150 W - 6500 K) and under the sun (at 29º N latitude) , in a mixed mode.
The soil is a mixture of: Sphagnum peat 65%, Perlite 25%, and Vermiculite 10 %. It was hydrated using Trichoderma harzianum at a dosage of 4 g/l prior to planting the germinated seeds.
It was necessary to water plants at sixth day, with 10 ml of nutrient solution.
The nutrients referred above were distributed on three waterings needed during that period.
I broke accidentally the stems of two Jack 47 at March 19th. Plants were splinted using soft metallic wire and adhesive tape. Happily, both survived.
Plants were transplanted to 1,65 pots at March 25th using a mix of Peat (80%), Perlite (18%) and Vermiculite (2%). Mix was hydrated with a mixture of Kelp Extract and Mammoth P.
Some issues with growing room (overpopulation) and cloudy days forced plants to stretch slightly.
Nutrients referred above were applied in three waterings during this week.
An insufficient ventilation caused burned areas on the leaves.
HPS is dual spectrum type; this encourages plants to stretch stems, increasing inter-nodal distance.
Nutrients referred above were applied on three waterings.
Plants received a gentle foliar spray with neem at April 12th.
On April 14th, I transplanted the plants for last time. The volume of the pots was 11 liters. The substrate was a mix of peat, perlite, vermiculite, agrosil, dolomite, and calcium superfosfate. There is a table showing the proportions.
Trichoderma harzianum was applied on watering during transplanting for second time at the same dosage (4 g/l).
This was the last growing week after switch to flowering period.
Nutrients referred above were applied in two waterings.
Photo-period was switched to 12 hours night since April 14th to April 18th, eliminating a few hours every day. I set the point of the beginning of this flowering period at April 18th.
Light power was increased to 400 W at April 15th.
The plants develop vigorously under HPS and sunlight mixture. They are showing first calyxes at April 19th.
Nutrients referred above were administrated in three watering
22-04 To 28-04 - Week 7 (Flowering 2)
The Plants continue vigorously elongating their stems while begin to produce flowers profusely.
Light's power was increased to 600 W at April 28th.
Nutrients referred above were applied in two waterings.
29-04 to 05-05 - Week 8 (Flowering 3)
There are differences between the heights of the varieties. I've tried to maintain all canopy at an equal distance of the lamp, adding different objects on the bottom of the shorter plants.
Electroconductivity was slightly decreased to encourages microbiota to grow. I'm using biologic stimulants on every watering mixed with organomineral nutrients.
Nutrients described above were administrated in three waterings.
06-05 to 12-05 - Week 9 - (Flowering 4)
It was necessary to remove the apical growing tip of the taller Ice Cool, in order to contain its uncontrollable elongation.
Nutrients showed above were distributed in two different waterings.
13-05 to 19-05 - Week 10 - (Flowering 5)
It looks like plants finally centered into flowering. Organoleptic potential has been deployed for my happiness.
It's noticeable also, the notorious amount of capitate trichomes.
Nutrients referred above were applied in two waterings.
20-05 to 26-05 - Week 11 - (Flowering 6)
Plants stopped growing. Taller plants are really close to lamp, but a good ventilation with two 40 W fan (box type), keeps the things working.
I've increased electroconductivity in consonance with sunny days. I can afford six hours of good quality sun radiation on my balcony when days are clear.
Nutrients described above were distributed in two irrigations.
27-05 to 02-06 - Week 12 - (Flowering 7).
I've kept EC on a reasonable value despite of it's noticeable some potassium deficiency on the older leaves. Plants under a mixed mode of sun+HPS consume a lot of water and nutrients, but I think more water, specially when evapotranspiration is high. South winds makes Relative humidity to fall under 20%. In this chase, I prefer to keep my plants well hydrated more than overfeed.
I'm really impressed with the monster shape of Cream 47 apical buds.
Nutrients described above were applied in three waterings. Those are the three last waterings of this diary, with an EC of 1,5 - 1 and 0,42 respectively.
Plants are fully developed and focus their efforts in stacking inflated calyxes.
03-06 to 10-06 - Week 13 - (Flowering 8)
This is the last week. Harvest is expected at June 13 or 14th.
I don't flush out because I think it's not necessary when you give to plants what they need on every moment.
Hi there!
Plants have been harvested on June 14th without any issue. The process last about six hours.
I'm using the same grow tent for the drying and curing process. There are 32 more branches drying on another room, apart from photographed ones.
I've wasted a lot of time taking photographs in order to obtain a few good ones, so I'm sharing the best ones with you guys.
In two weeks, in the weekend between June 28th and June 30th, I'll complete this diary with statistics about harvesting and tasting the medicinal herbs.
The harvest was fantastic, with 225.7 g obtained from three plants.
I vaporized an average quantity (dried during 12 days) on a Volcano classic. The herb tastes sweet, cheesy and pungent, but there are some earthy and floral reminiscences.
The high is progressive an induces to you into a relaxed but creative and happy status.
The harvest was great, with 207.3 g obtained from three plants.
I vaporized an average quantity (dried during 13 days) on a Volcano classic. The herb tastes to anise with touches of citrus and eventually cheese.
The high is really powerful with an uplifting and talkative effect, but relaxed at the same time.
The harvest was fantastic, with 223.4 g obtained from three plants.
I vaporized an average quantity (dried during 15 days) on a Volcano classic at 190 ºC . The herb tastes of orange or tangerine, with an strong celery like aroma and nutty and flowery touches.
The high is the best of this plant, with an euphoric and uplifting effect. In addition, it's nicely long lasting.
