Hello again.
Here's my setup:
2 x 4 Mars Hydro Tent
260watt HLG Qb
6" Can-lite carbon filter
6" Hyperfan Stealth
2 x 6" hurricane clip on fans
5 gallon Air Pot #5 as the final pot
12 ounce solo cup as starter pot
Using my own soil mix which consists of peat moss and perlite, cow manure and forest soil.
I amend my soil with cal mag supplement before the transplant and will be giving her additional Cal mag from week 4 onwards.
Germinated the seed in a wet paper towel in just over 36 hours whilst it was kept in an old dvd case, wrapped with a cloth and placed in a dark and warm cupboard.
Planted in solo cup with a bit of Great White mycos in the planting hole.
Decided to go with Sweet Seeds since I had old stock of seeds that I needed to start working my way through.
Let's see how it goes!
- Day 1 After 24 hours of transplanting the germed seed in soil she finally showed up. Another 24 hours later her true leaves have appeared so I'm marking it as day 1. Let's see how she goes.
- Day 2 all good. Misting twice a day.
- Day 3 all good.
- Day 4 all good
- Day 5 all good. Gonna move her to the tent tomorrow.
- Day 6 all good. Moved her to the tent. Should be ready for transplant tomorrow or the day after
- Day 7 all good. Gonna transplant her tomorrow to sync up with the other girls watering schedule.
- Day 8 transplant day! Unfortunately red ants attacked my soil and I had to use a couple of table spoons of cinnamon in the soil mix to try and get them out and let it sit for a day. Lined the transplant hole with mycos and gave her 1L watering with stims. Let's see how she goes.
- Day 9 all good. Seems to be okay after the transplant. We'll know for sure soon
- Day 10 0.5L plain watering today as the soil was still a little moist. All good tho
- Day 11 all good
- Day 12 1L plain watering. All good.
- Day 13 all good
- Day 14 all good. Seems a bit small but I'll keep an eye on her. No watering today as the soil is still moist.
- Day 15 0.5L plain watering today. All good tho
- Day 16 0.5L plain watering to sync her schedule with the rest of the girls in the tent. All good tho.
- Day 17 all good. Bit on the small side but we'll see.
- Day 18 1L watering with nutes today. Gave her some fish mix as well to see how she reacts.
- Day 19 all good.
- Day 20 all good. No watering today as the soil was still moist.
- Day 21 all good. I'll be watering her tomorrow. She's a bit small so must've been over watering. Bit sensitive me thinks but I'll take more care now.
- Day 22 1L plain watering today. She's still looking a bit small for my liking but maybe she'll go through a growth spurt this week.
- Day 23 all good
- Day 24 1L watering with nutes today. All good tho
- Day 25 all good
- Day 26 soil still moist so no watering today.
- Day 27 1L plain watering today. She's got to be the smallest plant I've ever grown. Extremely fussy about watering so far. I'll let her do her thing and monitor closely

- Day 35 all good
- Day 36 1L watering with nutes today. She's starting to show pistils so I've started on her bloom nutes this week. Let's hope she stretches some more.
- Day 37 all good.
- Day 38 1L plain watering today. All good tho.
- Day 39 all good

- Day 77 all good
- Day 78 2L plain watering today. All good tho
- Day 79 all good

- Day 91 all good. No sign of amber so if theres still none in 2 days time I'll be harvesting her.
Harvested her on day 93. She's smelling super strong at the moment and gave some nice fat buds.
Must've given her a little too much Bio grow towards the end as some of the lower buds are pretty leafy. Seems to be an extremely sensitive strain to over watering and nitrogen.
Ended up with 314.7 g of wet buds and I've placed them in the dryer for 72 hours.
I'll give an update once dried.
Update 1: pulled the buds from the dryer after about 69 hours. Ended up with 75.4g of nicely dried buds.
After the first tester she's tasting sweet and very kushy. We'll see how the taste develops over time.
The high is a more indica stoned to it and will have you couch locked for sure.
I'll update in a few weeks.
Update 2: after a few months of curing I have to say this one took a while to impress me but its turned out to be a nice smoke.
Very earthy almost bordering on a soil taste which probably comes from the kush genetics and also a sweet after taste to it.
The high leaves you very couch locked and the final few buds knocked me out each time I smoked it.
Interested to see what else sweet seeds has to offer.
Definitely worth giving a try if you like sweet kush flavors with a indica leaning high.
New baby in the house! Niceeee. Always a fun time. Looking good early on my friend. But no surprise as shes in the care of a great grower. Best of luck moving forward brother.
What a difference between this plant and Jammy Dodgers. Both are the same age and it looks like the same environment. Just genetics or do you think it is something else?
@BladeCutter, I know right? This one is a week behind the other so I expect her to start picking up soon.
Might also be too much nitrogen in the soil cuz her first set was a little burnt and she's looking super green but I'll keep an eye on her.
Might be able to salvage her since I'll be using biobizz this round
How do you keep up with all the diaries? Very helpful. Do you keep a batch of nutrients for each plant or stage of growth? You are certainly putting in a lot of effort. I wish you continued success.👍
@BladeCutter, thanks budd! I mix my nutes as and when i need them which is every other watering. I also follow the biobizz schedule and use about half strength and increase if I see the need.
As to how I keep track of them all, that's exactly why I came here in the first place. Easy to keep track of what I need to do for each plant and what I've already done 🙂
Very healthy plant. I think you have mastered something I need to learn, how to give just the right amount of water. I know that I watered my last crop far too much too soon. I'll be starting two new Double Grapes next month. I hope I can get a great plant next time.
@BladeCutter, at 1.5L a day I think you can start increasing to 2L and see how she goes. If by the next day after watering the soil is drying out but still moist then you should be on track. I try and aim for watering every 2 days.
@Gr33nFi3ld, said "increase only when I see the soil dries out within a day."
I've seen that mentioned before. I'm trying to follow that rule during the last few weeks of my current crop. My one small plant is now drinking nearly 1.5L/day! I may start watering every day later this week. After a few daily rounds, I'll up it to two liters for each watering.
@BladeCutter, thanks man! I'm still figuring it out myself a year later but with air pots I've found it retains water a bit more than smart pots so I'm gonna try 0.5L when transplanting and increase only when I see the soil dries out within a day.
The jammy Dodgers is doing great so far and really stretching her legs tho!
That double grape you're gonna love! It's now my favourite strain from Mephisto!
@Sweet_Seeds, thanks man! I think that's what I've been doing wrong. Too much to often. New pots so I'm still trying to get the hang of them.
Fingers crossed she turns into a beast!
@Gr33nFi3ld, Hi buddy!
The next few waterings, try to do it with water only. Also, let the substrate dry out and don't add too much water.
As far as leaf color is concerned it looks very good, but if you are seeing that its growth is slowing down, you will have to look at the soil.
That said, try watering without fertilizer, and in small quantities. Let the substrate dry out.
Anything, don't hesitate to ask us. 😊
Sweet smokes!

Yo man looking awesome, I cant wait to see how your girl turns out In the next couple weeks !
I found with my Gelatos they had a huge growth spurt around week 4-5, I will be following your grow until harvest man good luck !
Peace
@Gr33nFi3ld, Yo Green, She is looking a lot better at week 7 now do you think it was an overwatering problem ?
At least she is showing flowers now !
Nice work,
Peace !
@@Cronix, thanks man! Yeah she's looking a bit small but I think I may have been too heavy handed with the watering early on.
I'm praying the ganja gods send her some growth soon!
Congratulations! 👏
A great harvest, with a super delicious appearance. 😍
Thank you very much for trusting our strains, and sharing your experience.
And thank you very much again for the score of 8 out of 10!! 👏😍❤️
We hope you enjoy the harvest 👌
