Shout out to everyone reading this! I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Do Si Dos adds up. Spoken to a couple other users that have grown this strain through i49 and it looks right up my ally. Really hoping it is๐
Need advice as soon as possible. Please see last few pictures of DoSiDos week 3. Am I looking at mottling here? Soil ph maladjusted? Please help if you've seen this before, and what steps do it take moving forward (or am I paranoid, IDK). Thank you!
most growers like the flowering, i like the seedlings and vegetation time the best. as you say they are moving so fast and you can tain her in various shapes
@Ga4rd2en0er, You and I and others seem to agree๐. Some stunning LST and form in the grows I see on here. I like when it goes beyond product, alone. The plant is beautiful and it's fun to help bring that out. ๐๐
@JinksyGrows, I guess I'm a design nerd, I love designing new systems to grow in and when a design fails or is performing poorly, I love the challenges of fine tuning or redesign. 2nd favorite is flowering time watching the ladies mature and develop their wonderful aroma. My least favorite is harvest day. My hands cramp easily from trimming ๐, the disinfecting and clean up.
@OutForReal, Haha, to each their own. I do love the colors and form come end game๐. But the time I get to spend with them on veg is almost meditative for me and it's a super peaceful time.
Thanks for dropping by Spinner and for all the love on the grows! Greatly appreciated.
Cheers my friend! Happy grows
@Mrs_Larimar, It is a sad feeling. Spent so much time with her it's hard not to become attached. But she did great and she will live on with the fruits she's givenโบ๏ธ.
@OutForReal, So, long story short I picked DSD for its name, lol! How can I pass by a strain called do-si-dos, what a cool name! So, I came on here and found 2 DSD grows using the same genetics from seed bank (i49). I didn't trust the breeders projected 29% and asked them to verify if they tested (an indie Dom that high, can it be?). Anyways, it be, hahaha. One user pulled a beauty harvest at 31%!!! Holy crap!... So I bought a set.
Until now, I had no idea this was becoming a popular strain, haha. I just liked the name and the terpene profile matches my preferences.But cool! I guess this will be my take on the strain and see how it goes.
I'll edit in the link if the DSD grow I mentioned. Using his flowering period as reference for this grow (same seed bank after all)
Thanks spinner! Hope this DSD is comparible to others trying her out!
Cheers
Edit: @DD_420 has a completed DSD and a brand new DSD at end week 5. Check it out! Beautiful plant.
@Mrs_Larimar, Yeah the Do is dos is trying to be the 2019/2020 fancy strain selection, every breeder tey to have their own version of it ... and I don't even know why it has been so famous ๐ค must be a killer strain
@Mrs_Larimar, We are and here we go! Very excited, even more then my first go. With all the changes you helped me with, I'm pumped to see the results. But! can't get cocky, still only half way๐๐
Cheers my friend and thank you for touching on my diaries ๐๐
Jinks said;
The 'Meh':
-Fungal gnat problem exists, still, but is completely under control for now.
I say:
those fungus gnats are a pain in the ass. And they come back in " waves" I have them in nearly every grow, especially using airpots ( they can crawl in th holes) iam continously " fighting " them in every stage.
But its a good sign for living soil with agood microbacterial life... ( this is what i tell to myself not to freak out )
@Mrs_Larimar, Glad I'm not the only one! And I'm with you on this. I was worried at first but now I just understand its apart of this specific grow. Their under control and I'm not going to panick over it. Girls are all very happy and I'm not letting the pests establish themselves.
Thank you for sharing this. That I'm not the only one seeing them. I thought it was a newbie mistake but it seems they are relatively normal to have, AS LONG as they don't get out of hand
Just saw pic of your current set up, do you have a Co2 generator? If not you can make one outta a couple plastic bottles and some cheap aquarium pump tubing....
@CRiSPrGrow, just posted a picture of the DIY Co2 generator in my new diary Do Si Dos round 2, should find it in week 4โs pictures for anyone that wants the visual.
funny I also wanted to extend drying time to 7-10 days and ended up in 5 ... No fans, just low extraction, 18*C, 50% RH ... it would be nice to compare longer drying times. We will get there! keep up that energy into your next grow ๐
@JinksyGrows, I'm in the same boat... always used 3% H2O2 and now on my last bottle and don't like my chances of getting another :) By the way, I'm thinking of doing a vertical ScrOG experiment in my next crop. I'm sure we'll stay in touch and up to date.
@HazeyBobby, I have been using 3% H202, but with recent developments (this whole pandemic thing) I'm a little hesitant about using it for the tent and will probably be going with bleach instead...unfortunately. I'm positive there are other methods to sanitize, but these are the only two chemical products I have at hand, ATM. Afterwards I do a sanitation and clean off all chemical residue too. Just in case! I hate the lingering smells they leave and I'm positive the plants do pick some of that up through the moisture in the air.
@JinksyGrows, what do you use to sterilise the tent? I'm using 20L airpots and one has an infestation of springtales - I will need to do something about that :)
@DD_420, No worries man. I have a pretty good idea what the Veg of the plant should look like, but your flowering pictures are more what I'm after (which are all there). If you're interested and want to send me some photos of Veg without making a new diary, my email is posted in personal info. Again, you dont have to! Haha. But if you want, by all means, I'd love to see you Veg photos and LST.
P.S. Yah! I germinated Nov 10th and they popped nov 12th. Our schedules seem to be lined right up.
@JinksyGrows, apologize for the missing weeks to start my first do si dos. She was originally used to cut babies from for a couple co workers outdoor this year while I low stress trained her to form a thicker canopy once she flowered. Iโd show you a picture of the 2nd gen mother and her 2 current 3rd gen babies but I canโt figure out how to show you other than starting a new journal. The two 3rd generation Babies I have currently were transplanted from pucks to pots on Remembrance Day making them within days of yours I believe
@DD_420, Yo! My Do-Si-Dos bro!! I followed through and here she is, above ground! Thanks for the kind words brother. If I can get the girl to look half as good as yours, we're in business. Coincidentally, I was running through the journal several days ago๐ making sure I'm on par with your growth rate. Theres no week 1 though 7 but I still feel like I'm behind. Will kick it up a notch.
@Mrs_Larimar, Thank you my friend, very much. Grow number one is just getting further and further away and these new results are night and day. I'm very happy and content with these kids and their potential ๐. It's about quality, always, but a larger yeild then my first wouldn't make me mad๐
Sweeeeeeet Flower Time!!!!!! Just wait till you see how many trichomes DSD is going to pack on! I have my 2 dsd next to some Hindu Kush right now and they look pretty much the same for triโs. However the Hindu Kush are too be coming down 2 weeks befor the dsd.
Get ready for the white out thatโs coming your way, hehe
@DD_420, oh buddy, I can't wait to see the DSD blow up and be snowcap white. She's the smallest plant out of the four, but I don't think she will disappointe. And if the Hindu Kush is coming down two weeks prior and they look the same, you're probably in for even more frosty goodness with DSD๐๐๐.
Bring on the white out๐๐. Cheers brother
@Mrs_Larimar, I. Absolutely. Love. It. Like night and day. Best part is being able to see the plants clealry. The blurple served me well, but I'm happy to have upgraded to this.
Girls look good, youve done alot for them.I see only good actions taken in your diary. and afew spots on aleaf...... she is going to grow it out.......but if those marks spread we got to talk again
@HazeyBobby, As long as we walk in knowing what we need/want, AN is a great company. I have been upsold on a couple supplements that I really didn't need, though. Not AN's fault, though. Looks like I'll be going for one of three lines. Future harvest, AN or Emerald Harvest. Give me two weeks and I might actually have made up my mind...lol! I'm fickle.
@JinksyGrows, agree - that list of products that goes on turned me off initially. And I do see some diaries here that include so many additives from AN - not my kind of approach to growing :)
@HazeyBobby, Great info. Wierd they don't taper down the nitrogen for late flower... Definitely see that causing some issues. And I actually have looked into advanced nutrients quite a bit. It's very solid product. Not a huge fan that they have 51! products, but if I pick the right supplements, advanced nutrients is definitely at the top of the short list. Never heard anything bad about it or them... Looks good๐
