PapaTerps Black Beretta - Cipher Genetics
SUMMER is upon us and grows that were started around March are a week or so away from harvest - so that means I'll have an empty tent pretty soon! So I've decided to start another grow for this Summer and into Autumn. π
For this grow, I've selected Black Beretta by Cipher Genetics - I chose this strain for its strong genetics [(Bolo Runtz x Papaya) x Blackberry Octane] and its Berry and Tropical flavours! I will be vegging her for about 5 weeks and I will be using a mixture of growing techniques which I have used before, including topping with some low stress training. You're all more than welcome to follow along, I will try to detail my process without overloading each week with "Too Much Info"π
Day 1 (16/06)
- Seed dropped into a small metal screw tin filled with RO Tap water pH'd to 6.3 and stored in a dark warm room - she will remain here until the seed pops and a taproot appears; I will check the progress of the seed every ~12 hours.
Day 2
- The seed has already popped and a taproot has appeared, so I've filled a small 0.3L paper starter pot with some All-Mix and dropped the seed in!
Day 3
- The seedling has already appeared from the soil, with her two starter leaves already searching for light. π
Day 5
- She has a nice long stem and her first leaves have started to develop ππ»

πΏ Watered every three days with 1L of RO water, with nutrients mixed individually and in order, finally I ph'd the solution to 6.3. I have upped some of her nutrients as she will need it during this phase ππ»
βοΈ I've removed two of her top most fan leaves to improve light penetration to the lower nodes, this will encourage lower stem growth.

Day 17
πΏ Watered every three days with 1L of RO water, with nutrients mixed individually and in order, finally I ph'd the solution to 6.3. I've upped her root nutrients to help with her root development and as of next week, I will replace the FishMix with the BioGrow ππ»
βοΈ I've removed a couple of her fan leaves to improve airflow and light penetration, I've also topped her main stem to allow the lower stems to grow up and form a consistent canopy πͺπ»
π± Week 3 of Veg, she recovered from her first topping and has started to grow out her lower stems and supporting fan leaves! She has grown really well so far and looks to be bang on schedule for the 12/12 switch in about 4 weeks π»

πΏ Watered every four days with 2L of RO water, with nutrients mixed individually and in order, finally I ph'd the solution to 6.3. No alterations to her feeding.
βοΈ This week I've lollipopped her to improve airflow and to encourage her to grow up, but other than that, she's just growing!
π± Week 4 of Veg, and she's been working on stretching and developing her stems! She's grown a lot in the last week, so I have high hopes for her! I've moved her into a 5x5 tent now along with all of the other plants in this grow, I will also be setting up a drip feed system from next week to streamline the feeding process ππ»

Day 35
π‘ PPFD: 540
βVPD: 0.98kPa
πΏ Watered every four days with 3L of RO water, with nutrients mixed individually, in order and then finally, I ph'd the solution to 6.3. I've reduced her root nutrient as she no longer requires it and increased her CalMag because some of the plants were showing signs of magnesium deficiency. From next feeding, I will start to introduce her bloom nutrients.
βοΈ I've given her a good defoliation and I've lollipopped her up to about the fourth node from the canopy. I've introduced a few training clips to help her grow more evenly. She's physically ready for the switch, but I think another week will help her big time! So from now on, I'll remove as much stresses as I can and just let her growπ»
π± Week 5 of Veg, shes strong and sturdy and looks ready to hold any weight of flower! she's also showing all the signs that suggest she has reached maturity and looks robust enough to begin the 12/12 switch. Another week to go, but she's ready ππ»
