GrowTest Coco and BioTerra (4+1 strains)

Hi to all grass lovers ;) I grow grass for myself, for medicinal purposes and for relaxation. Usually I grow on organic matter in the earth, but it became interesting for me to try other methods and at the same time automate the process a bit so as not to devote much time to it. Part of the plants will grow in coconut using the Autopot system (+ Canna Coco). Part of the plants will grow as usual in the soil using organic fertilizers (Bio Canna). I selected 3 new top varieties that I would like to try (The New, A5 Haze, Bruce Banner) and will also grow gift seeds Toro Seeds (1 bush of Fruit Siesta because it has the fastest flowering declared, while other varieties will bloom. And their best sativa Seven Heaven, because I am looking for sativa varieties for myself). Well, a start has been made.

All this time, watering occurred with a previously prepared solution (10 liters was prepared in total). About once every 2 days (when the top dried out and the pot became light by weight). The lamp works 24 hours. Before transplanting into large pots Canna Start will be used as a base (I think another week is enough). Next week Cannazym will be added.

3 weeks passed. The plants are developing pretty well, so I had to transplant in the middle of the week (on the 24th) and a Philips Green Power 400W HPS lamp was put in for more intensive growth (on the 25th, after the transplanted plants adapted to new conditions for 1 day). This gave a result - the amount of LUX increased 2 times and the leaves began to look like palms raised up (all plants began to reach for light, indicating that they were ready for intensive training and growth). Also this week, the feeding schedule was changed. Watering is now done with Canna Coco + Rhizotonic + Cannazym and BioCanna Grow (separately for soil). 2 varieties had to be planted in one pot in order to allocate space in an optimal way - on the one hand there will be 4 plants in AutoPot (in front of them there is a watering tank of 47 liters), on the other hand there will be 6 pots (4 of them with soil, 2 with coco). I thought for a long time in what proportions to do and decided to do more with coconut (6 vs 4). Because I have a lot of ready-made nutrient solution for him. AutoPot pots have AirDome installed. According to the manufacturer, this will give + 30% to the yield. But so far I have not received air pumps for reasons beyond my control. I had to order new ones - as soon as they arrive, they will be installed in the system. Looking at the plants, the thought comes to my mind that I will have to do pruning to make the bushes more lush and about the same height. Tall sativas are placed around the edges (A5 Haze, Seven Heaven). The New in the center, a Bruce Banner next to it. Fruit Siesta stands closest to the entrance, as it is the first to get to the harvest.

This week the lamp was replaced from 400W to 600W (also Philips Green Power). Added LEDs Sercet Jardin Bloom. Installed SCROG net. Additional sticks are installed on the sides to hook the net for them for better tension. + Trimming of the tops of most plants, but not all. Next week will be the beginning of flowering and switching 12/12. Now its 20/4.

As planned, flowering began. Plants respond very well to spraying with Canna Boost and develop intensively. A5 Haze and Seven Heaven are the highest - it was the right decision to arrange them around the edges. Only 1 plant A5 Haze caught with the indica phenotype - it is lower than 2 others (it is in the soil, 2 others in a coconut). The main thing that worries me at this stage is the growths on the Bruce Banner similar to the hermaphrodite eggs that have just been discovered. I will create a question for the community how to do it better (although I know in advance the answer is that it is better to destroy such a plant), Maybe I was wrong and this is not an egg? (although most likely they are). Bruce Banner turns out to be very powerful, drinks most of all planted in the soil. It will be a pity to lose him. The coming days will show. I also put a charcoal filter, so a little smell disappeared.

So everything is going well. Plants shot in growth. If this continues, then there may not be enough space, but so far I am optimistic. I did not expect such a rapid development from the A5 Haze and Seven Heaven. Very impressive.

I just noticed that I began to count the weeks incorrectly (the dates are correct). It turns out that I counted 8 days a week, instead of 7. Due to the fact that I looked at the calendar where the weeks are arranged in lines (oh grass, grass...). If flowering began on October 5, then on October 25, 3 weeks ended and on November 2, 4 weeks will end.

A5 Haze and Seven Heaven turned out to be real monsters that have to be trimmed (the height of the grow box is 220 cm, but it is all used). But it doesn’t scare me. At first I tried to tie most of the large leaves, not cut them. Fruit Siesta makes the biggest buds (it should bloom before anyone else). Very fragrant and all in resin. I didn’t cut it, but look at how bushy it has grown - this cannot but rejoice. Seven Heaven, like A5 Haze, 2 came out with a predominance of Sativa (high, long blooming) and 1 with a predominance of Indica (they are noticeably lower and bloom faster). Very well placed together in one corner (far right). 2 The New in the center. It has very large leaves (just huge). I pulled one from the center so that it would not burn out under the lamp and thus give light to the lower tiers. 1 Bruce Banner in the very left corner. It looks great, it is also very long. All plants look very healthy. I definitely like Canna fertilizers. My main mistake is that I underestimated the potential of the varieties and made a long vega. Therefore, I have to cut everything unnecessary. p.s PK 13-14 was given only to Fruit Siesta.

This week I cut, cut and cut again the rapidly growing A5 Haze and Seven Heaven. Big leaves blocking the light are removed. The distance is adjustable by cropping. All varieties begin to form buds. Someone more, someone less. I plan to harvest Fruit Siesta in a couple of weeks and make free space for other varieties. I would also like to share an unusual phenomenon with the A5 Haze. When I touch his leaves and stems with my hands, then red spots begin to appear on my hands, as in allergies, which pass 30-60 minutes after contact. In contact with other varieties this does not happen. This is the first time with me. Has anyone had something like this? I'm already starting to fear smoking this guy :)

Fruit Siesta is preparing for the harvest. A nutrient solution for her was prepared in a separate container based on the Canna calculator. According to the passport of the strain, I can take a crop in a week. The stocks of my grass are already at the bottom, so this girl will be very helpful.

Fruit Siesta. Tick-Tock, like a clock. 7 weeks and fully ready sweet stinky buds! Wohooo!! In addition, on the week I made hash from leaves that had accumulated from the very beginning of cultivation (a mixture of all varieties). These are the earliest leaves from which I did not expect something big. BUT! I got more than 2 grams of first-class sticky plasticine from something that could just be thrown away! Spent only 2 cycles of 15 minutes in the washing machine (could have gotten more, but I settled on two cycles, collecting only the best). The quality just hit me! Already at this stage it is simply cutting down! Some sort in this mixture gives a lot of tension to the eyes. From the 19th day I’m like a red-eyed biorobot all day! :) Only 1 puff is enough to get lost for an hour stably. The remaining grass is untouched from this time on, because after such an exclusivity I no longer want the usual product :) I found a microscope that can be worn on the phone and took photos with a trichomes to determine their maturity. Most of them are cream - the best time to harvest. Growth results in terms of growth power can be seen now. The stems of all plants grown on coconut turned out to be larger than the stems grown in organic soil. Coconut has better air exchange, so the roots there grow faster and better. This gives potential to the rest of the plant. But quality is more important than quantity, in my opinion. Therefore, it will be necessary to give ratings after receiving and comparing the finished product.

Fruit Siesta. I really liked it! Unfortunately, only one test bush was planted so that there was something to smoke while sativas were growing. 7 weeks of flowering. It's fast. I did not trim, but the plant itself adapted to the area that was allocated to him in boxing and became very magnificent. Cannabis varieties can be compared to movies. Some want to review again, and some at once. I will definitely watch this movie again :) I made a hash of the most sugar leaves left after pruning. It turned out to be a doubly excellent product. The photo shows that all this sticky mass consists of beautiful trichome heads.

This week I ran out of Cannazym and Cannaboost supplements. Therefore, sativas will be further watered only with a base (A+B) and The New, Bruce Banner and all varieties on organics watered only with clean water with ph 6.0 Soon there will be a new harvest :)

It was not possible to write here on time, but all this time I, as before, recorded the process. Organics were harvested this week - A5 Haze, 7 Heaven and The New. I don’t know how to correctly reflect this here, so I’ll put a harvest of a particular variety after collecting the last representative of this variety (on the coconut the same varieties continue to grow).

This week there was a harvest of Bruce Banner and The New (coconut in AutoPots). By the end of flowering, I understand why the Bruce Banner is called like that :) The New buds are not so big, but he has very big beautiful trichomes and they are everywhere!

The name is fully justified. First produces small buds, which have explosive growth. Really Bruce Banner :) I think that difficulties with one of the plants were caused by stress as a reaction to pruning, so it’s better to just braid and not cut this variety. The hash in the photo was made from Bruce Banner + The New (each variety produced few leaves, so it was decided to combine them). From nets of different sizes and after several passes.

This is a very, very resinous plant! Trichomes grow everywhere and they are very large. Productivity is not as high as that of other varieties. From a bush grown on organics, 12 grams of the purest buds was obtained. From a bush grown on coconut 33 grams. Total 45 grams (not including concentrates). But in trichomes, this is a clear champion. Interesting variety. It can be seen that the master had a hand in its creation.
