Just soaked the paper towel to begin germination. Set up a 2x2x4.5’ tent with 195cfm outtake fan, carbon filter setup, 135w hlg v2 qb led light cranked from 135w down to about 100 or so.
Set seed in towel inside plates on top of the tent for a bit of warmth and also to test run the setup to make sure nothing literally falls apart.
Day 0:
After two days, the taproot was ready and I planted her into a Wendy’s cup with holes for overflow. Put her inside the tent with he light about 3’ up and cranked down to about 30%. This cup was filled with Happy Frog soil.
Day 3: I keep watering her. Dropped the lights to 18” yesterday. Been giving her plain water PhD to 6.5 when she asks for it. Took the dome off. Cranked the light to about 40-50%
Day 4: she was leaning over in a weird way so I propped her up with some more dirt. Seemed to help. I have the fan going on her slightly at the moment, and will continue to rotate it day by day to not keep pushing in the same direction.
Day 5: The second top is starting to show up. She is looking better than yesterday, and I crank the light to 50% from roughly about 30 to 35% or so
So far so good. The gfci trips every once ina while and i Might order something like a new timer to try to fix that. My timer is grounded and I think it’s causing an issue with my GFCI plug
Transplanted on day 11. 30/70 mix of happy frog and ocean floor. Put one teaspoon of dolomite lime and a helping of perlite. She had a hard time standing up properly but I tried to bury her root better. Watered with two cups of water PhD out to 6.5. This is a 3 gal smart pot. In a couple weeks I will put her in a 5. She is allllmost ready to top but not quite. Tomorrow probably.
She took a liking to laying down due to her strange seeding way from before. I had to prop her up towards the end of this week.
Day 20 she was topped. Right above the 5th node. It was simple and looks clean. I released the tie which was holding the plant upright so she can lay a bit more comfortably while she recovers from the stress.
Leaf tucked and rearranged some things on day 24 as well as gave her first ever nutrients. Half doses scaled down to 2L bottle. Grow big, big bloom and calimagic.
Transplanted to 5gal on day 26
F8: so far so good. Tweaked by board today cranked the current to max and set the volts down til the wattage output was about 120. Use the lux meter to get the top of the canopy to about 60000 lux with the lamp about 10 inches away. She has been running around 80-90 watts this whole time so I’m hoping to see some difference.
I put a wet towel in the bottom to hopefully nudge the humidity up a bit. It’s 26...
She’s continuing to come along very well. It’s been busy with the holidays and birthdays and what not so I haven’t been documenting as often, but I’ve been maintaining her temperature and humidity is best possible. She tends towards a higher temperature in a lower humidity so I’ve introduced to the humidity bottle a couple weeks back. It’s been working, and it seems to help bring the temperature down sometimes. She’s getting very frosty!
She’s getting stinky. Very pungent fruity smell. Moving her stems around makes you fingers so sticky that you have to rub the residue off your finders. Shits so sticky you can’t wash it off with soap. Best way to describe the smell is berries with a hint of spice. Perfect for the holidays.
She’s getting fatter. Some stems can’t stand on their own. I’m glad the training was so heavy because if this is what it’s like scrogged and lst’d, I suspect it would be in serious trouble without. All trichs are clear so we’ve got a bit longer to go. Shooting for 20-30% amber I think.
One or two amber trichomes on there. The hairs are mostly red but quite a few white ones Re still on there. We’re getting there! Today marks the official “last day” or flowering according to seedsman info table on the strain, but I’m sure she is a bit behind due to the training and defoliation.
Very trainable. I topped her twice and did a heavy SCROG with some elements of super cropping (I broke a couple stems to keep them short early on, you can see it mostly on the purple ones in the back by the temp gauge).
She has heavy buds and lanky skinny little stems so they have a hard time holding up the buds. You will need netting or stakes or strings to hold them up. I used the SCROG net and string to wrap around the stems and hold them up). Plan for this, as it is a common report from seedsmans website too for this strain.
I defoliated heavily throughout the process so a lot of my lower buds are more well developed than one might expect. I harvested when the top buds started turning amber. Maybe about 10%.
The harvest was easy and they smell like fruit. I can’t wait. I was pleasantly surprised by the output. I felt like it kept coming and coming. I trimmed half the plan and the storage bin lid I was holding them on was full!
Final weight update: total weight was 4.5oz!! And 19g of trim. VERY PLEASED. I smoked some of the larf yesterday and it is delicious.
