High,
The day I got the clones:
6x Moby Dick from one mother and 2x Aurora Indica, also from one mother. The Aurora's were Bonus Seeds. 👍
My Equipment:
- Homebox Ambient Q120 PAR+ (120x120x200cm)
- Eco 760cbm/h ∅150 (SonoDEC) dimmable with the STR 1,5A
- Eco 700cbm/h ø150 mm carbon filter
- Adjust 'A' Wing Medium
- Lumatek switchable between 250, 400, 600, & 660W (Superlumen)
- 250W MH Spectre GIB for vegetating
- 600W Philips SON-T Greenpower for flowering
- 1x Taifun "FlatFan" Box Ventilator
- 2x 15W Clipvents
- Garland tub, 120x120.
I'm feeding them with tap water with Rhizotonic and Zyme atm. 😊
Let's grow some THC-V. 👽
CU
High,
I grow with Canna Terra Professional Plus soil in 11l pots. I only vertilize with Canna Terra and all additives (Zyme, Rhizotonic, Boost, PK13/14, pH-PRO) when they are needed.
After 4 days of rooting from Eazyplug into soil they showed to start growing. I started LST when the plants were about 15cm.
To keep the RH at about 60-70% I just use wet towels in the Homebox. Works wonders. 👌
Have a good time all you stoners out there. 😉
Greetz
High,
the Canna Professional Plus soil had mourning mosquitoes in it (second time I have the same problem with Canna soil).
I "fight" them with Culinex pills (B.t.i.) and neem oil - works pretty good. They are almost gone.👍
I peg the leaves down, so that more light can penetrate the sprouts.
EC is 1,2 with Canna Terra Vega (first and last time in veg phase).
They will get another shower with neem oil the day I send them into flowering.
Stay green. 💪
High,
after 16 days of veg they were ready for flowering. First FD was 29.11.2017.
I give them just a week more of Rhizo because of the stress the plants have (cause of switching light).👌
I switched the Lumatek to 600W and the trafo for the fan from 1 to 3 of 5.
The vents run 12/12 and three times at night for half an hour.
On FD4 I feeded them with Canna Flores, Rhizo and Zyme (EC 1,2). 👍
I only use tap water (EC 0,7) because I tried RO water mixed with tap water (EC 0,4) on my last grow but it's just a waste of ferts imo, at least when it comes to growing with soil.
The pH is better with RO+tap water but that's all.
Only really nessecary when growing hydro or aeroponic.
Canna Terra regulates the pH pretty good without adding pH-.
But thats just the experience I made. Everyone how he likes. 😎
CU with the next update.
Stay green. 😇
High,
on FD8 I ferted them with 1,3 EC because some leafes show some P-deficiency (red stems).
No wonder they are so thursty with such a stretch...😊
I don't do LST anymore.
I gave them water with Zyme on FD11 and on FD12 I discovered the first pistils on the Auroras and the Mobys.😏
On FD13 I ferted them with EC 1,0 (20ml/10l).
CU
High,
on FD 15 I ferted them with 1,3 EC (42ml Flores/ 10l + Zyme and Boost).
I have to say that 1,3 EC is to weak for the Moby Dicks... There are red stems almost everywhere on the leafs.
A friend of me (I got the clones from) is growing the same pheno as me right now in two Aquafarms and he is going with 1,5 EC on FD9. They seem to need such a strong nutrient solution. And even he still got those red stems on the leafs. Maybe genetic?
But otherwise everything is fine so far. 👍
The Aurora Indicas seems to like what they get. 😊
On FD 18 I switched the Lumatek to "Superlumen" and they also got a nutrient solution with 1,4 EC (Flores, Boost, Zyme).
The "darker" plant in the mid right is in BioBizz soil. The other seven plants are in Canna Terra Professional Plus. 😉
On FD19 they got tap water with Zyme and Boost.
On FD21 I ferted them with 1,5 EC (50ml Flores/10l + Zyme and Boost).
CU
High,
on FD22 I ferted again, but this time a bit less. EC 1,1, only for drain purposes.
On FD25 I ferted them with EC 1,6 (60ml Flores/10l + Zyme and Boost). I also checked the drain. Looks pretty good. 👍
I don't remove any leafs... What's more easy? Grabbing a burger from the ground, even if there are dozens? Or just eating the burger you're holding in your hand? Think about it... 😜
On FD27 They got 1,6 EC again.
Pics from FD27 were taken shortly before the light went on.
CU
High,
on FD29 I ferted with 1,6 EC (60ml Flores/ 10l).
On FD32 every plant got 3l of nutrient solution (EC 1,6 / pH 6,4) so I flushed the old shit out a bit. Wet vacuum cleaners are pretty good for cleaning up this mess. 👍
The pics from FD33 were taken shortly before the light went on. 😊
On FD35 they got a nutrient solution with Zyme, Flores, Boost (EC 1,7 / pH 6,3). 👍
Stay green. 😉
High,
Pics from FD36 were taken shortly before the light went on. 😏
As you can see the buds from the Moby Dick in the BioBizz Light Mix soil aren't as big as those in the Canna Terra Professional Plus soil. They all get the same nutrient solution.
EC in the soil is around 3,5 and the pH is 6,4. I checked the drain yesterday. 👌
"This stain needs a very high EC between 1.5 and 2.0. Also the breeder recommends to control the pH." - Source: Dinafem
I can sign on that without thinking twice. It's just crazy what the Moby's drink. 😅👍
On FD37 they got PK 13/14 for the first time (EC 1,8 / pH 6,3).
On FD40 same as on FD37.
Stay green. 😉
High,
this is the last week they get some nutes. The PK 13/14 week is over, so I don't give it anymore (FD40 was the last time they got it).
On FD43 they got a 1,6 EC nutrient solution (60ml Flores/10l + Zyme & Boost).
On FD46 they got a 1,3 EC nutrient solution (44ml Flores/10l + Zyme & Boost).
I also checked the drain - EC 2,7 / pH 6,4. 👍
This was the last time I ferted them.
On FD49 I flushed every plant with 4l of tap water. After I've done that I watered them with 1l of tap water + Zyme & Boost. 😊
Stay green.
High,
since FD49 they only get tap water (pH 6,5), more of enough of it...😅
After I flushed them they get a litre of tap water + Zyme, Boost and pH-.
EC 0,8 / pH 6,5.
I'll do this every three days.👌
I got a microscope from a friend to check out the trichomes.
Buds are getting heavy. I have to fix them with wires...😏
On FD52 same as on FD49.
On FD55 same as on day 52...
Stay green. 👽
High,
FD57
Time passes by! Nine days of flush, five days to harvest...😇
FD58 - last flush.👌
Some growers turn their light off during the last couple of days, thinking that the buds produce more resin. Kinda true. But the trichomes only have a stem and no head. And the head is what I want. So no need for this. 👍
Pics from FD61 were take shortly before the light went on.
You want a closer look? Just open the pic in a new tab... 😉
Thanks for your support guys, you rock. 😘
Stay green. 👽
The Aurora Seeds were some Bonus Seeds my friend got a while ago. He selected them and this was the one he took clones from.
The pheno had some nice branches. Good for LST, too.💪
I wouldn't grow it again tho. There are better Indicas out there...
High,
Ignore "week 13"... I harvested the two Auroras on FD62.👌
Guess it will be around 120g of dry buds. I don't weight it wet, makes no sense to me. Maybe a single bud to compare it bud not all...😅
Can't really describe the taste. It's okay. Smooth af, but nothing that blows you away.
I harvested about 130g of dry buds from the two Aurora Indicas.
The buds got pretty small and light while drying. I was searching for the mainbuds because they got so small...😅
Wouldn't grow it again.
Stay green. 👽
High,
Ignore "week 14"... I harvested the six Moby Dicks on FD62.👌
Took about 5 hours with 4 hands.
Was easy to harvest. No Botrytis detected.
I don't weight it wet, makes no sense to me. Maybe a single bud to compare it bud not all...😅
Will update this in around two weeks.
Stay green.👽
@Ripper,
Next Moby Dick clones are already on their way.
A friend cutted some two days ago... When this is harvested the next will come in immediately. I really like the strain. 😊👍
Great update, she is developing really nicely.
A question, if im not wrong we are using the same tent (HomeBox 1x1x2)?
if so, where did you get does side poles? i didn't got does poles with my tent
@PigBearMan, thats such an awesome upgrade to the tent, I work at a hydroshop but we dont have extra poles to HomeBox tents :/
well thats ok, because im planning on upgrading soon to the 120X240X200 😄
Nice LST 👍 do you always veg with your plants so close to the light? I usually veg with a 400 then bump to a 1000 dimmed to 600 so I keep my lights quite a bit higher thats the reason I ask
@PigBearMan, Thats exactly what I figured 👍 and I totally agree it is very nice to be able to control the amount of light they get depending on how strong and close the light is to the canopy.
@DeepRoot3d,
Thanks and yes, thats how I always do it.
Because 250W=25cm, 400W=40cm and 600W=60cm. With the spreader you can hang it about 40cm with 600W.
Thats the genius thing about growing indoor, YOU can play god, experiment, give them the perfect light conditions and climate for each stage. 😉
What an amazing diary
Full of beautiful photos / videos with healthy plants
I have only one thing to say, Bravo! 👏
I wish you could give us the smell ahaha 😄
@Herbalize,
Thanks dude. 😊
If you follow "my" scheme you should get the same results (if conditions are nice).
Feel free to ask if you have any question.
Stay green dude. 👽
Great Diaries, PBM. I am loving how big your leaves are getting. They're beauts. Really think you should change your name to Peg-BearMan though. Never seen such deft use of the garden peg before. They look effective. I might try it myself if you don't mind.
Your mum's yelling at you from the clothes line though.
@Mr_Positivo,
LOL 😆 (Can't change the name... 😅)
Yeah it kinda works with pegging down. Some leafs need a few more but hey... mom has enough...😅
Feel free to try it, I don't have a patent on it. 😋
BTW, thanks dude.
@PigBearMan, yeah bro i know, but it's low stress training, the defoliation makes plants more stress than this just carefull to not touch to buds, but it's just my opinoion bro 😕
@Cindermale,
I hear ya. In the first week of flowering, maybe the first 14 days, it's okay to do some LST. You can even spray some neem or whatever they need then. But when the first pistils appear you should stop that. 😊
@PigBearMan, it is good choice when flowering lst asap bro. Yes if it's not right stress it's not good for plant or if not right conditioner, at this weather i lst much to make more canopies even, but it's just mu opinion, just wait and see, i'm not sure just like you. And i work very hard even it's small place :(. Just wait me then we will have more exp bro hehe
@Gravedancer_30W,
Thanks dude. 😊
My next grow will be a mono culture of the same Moby Dick pheno. But this time it'll be 9 plants. Will be even better. 😉
But I dunno if I'll post a diary...👻
@HLG_Israel,
Thanks. 😊
The pheno I grow was selected by a friend. He grew 4 different phenos in a 35l Aquafarm. This was the best pheno.
He will keep the mother for a while. It's really, hands down, a pretty nice strain. On one level with Power Plant from Dutch Passion. 👌
Wow. Quite an operation you got going there. Big time grow. Those are some gorgeous colas. Nicely done. I particularly like the blue lighting in the photos. How did you achieve that?
@Zannabis7, I took the pics shortly before the light went on. Just a mobile phone with "bulp mode" and flash. If you want a closer look...open pic in new tab and zoom in. 😊
@@@@@Tryhard_grower_grower_grower,
Thanks.
It allready smells like mint. You know Colgate Dentagard? 😅
Kinda smells like the Moby. I like it very much.
The Aurora smells like chocolate. 😊
@MrSpooky882, jo war ein guter grow. Moby ist auch ne geile sorte. Weiss gar nicht obs die noch gibt weil bei di afem ja razia war letztes jahr... wenn dann bloss noch alte samen im restbestand. Riecht voll nach Dentagard das Ott.
