I had in mind starting muy first journal from seed yo harvest, unluckily I had to start from week 3. So as the plants had 21 days, i transplanted them into 11 liters pots, un Canna Terra Pro +. After the transplant I topped the plants so they can become bushier, and hace multiple tops. I think I should've waited a bit more as the plants were growing with little space between the nodes

So far I defoliated the plants. And topped the gelato. I realized the WW and the NL are growing very slow, this Seeds do not come from a reputable breeder, so... Think I learnt the lesson. I Will be swapping both for two autos, I'll show them on friday. Happy growing!

Just a quick question, would you be removing both, the NL and the WW as their growth is very slow?

I wouldn't abandon either of the small plants yet unless you absolutely need to...for space or something else. Being topped in week 3 they could just be experiencing a lag and need a bit of recovery time. There's also the problem that all plants grow differently, even amongst the same seed batch or strain. Even if you decided to flip the plants today they could both grow 2 nice solid colas. If you continued to see weakness or traits you don't like then I could understand removing them over wasting time/nutrients/ light and space from the other better plants. But I would definitely hold off for several more weeks....perhaps a nice dose of a silica product and kelp extract as those can be great plant tonics and silica just makes stronger healthier plants. Happy growing friend, I hope they'll pleasantly surprise you anytime now. ✌️

I'm happy to see the plants growing this fast. Matanuska and the gelato strains are doing really good since day 1. The NL and the WW are looking better, I'm happy I finally decided to keep them. They are starting yo have new growth. I'll be giving this plants another week of vegging before switching them into flower. I'll probably add a scrog net as the branches of the gelato look very soft. Happy growing, ser you next week!

Plants are looking amazing. I did some lollypopping last week, and by week 3 of flowering I'll lollypop again and do a leaf defoliation as there is not a lot of space.

It's the start of week 2 if flowering and I started seeing the new leaves looking a bit yellow, and some bronce spots on the plants. Dos my research and found out It was a zinc deficiencie. I checked canna nutrients and found out pH should be between 5.8-6.2, and I was watering them with 6.8 water. I have corrected the pH now, I hope it's not too late. Happy growing I am spotting some deficiencies at the end of week 2. Can anyone give me a hand, thanks in advance.

It's the start of the 3rd week of flower. Plants are doing great. I've defoliated a bit to allow more light to lower canopy. I've run into some problems with the gelato, which seems to be some deficiencies, I hope I'll be able yo correct them soon. Happy growing!

Plants are starting to show pistils everywhere now. Gelato is stopping the signs of deficiencies, adding calmag is actually helping, as I didn't really know what was happening. Happy growing!

Everything os going smooth so far. I'm pretty happy with them. I had to remove the Northern lights as I spotted some bananas popping out, so there was no other thing yo do than chopping It down. So in the spot I had the Northern lights, I placed a Dark Devil autoflower from sweet seeds. I'm a bit scared as the gelato is getting worst, even after adding calmag. Lets see how it keeps evolving. Happy growing to everyone

When I switched to flower, I started watching some rusty spots on the leaves of the gelato. After doing some research, I thought I was facing a calmag deficiency, and starting adding some calmag. Plant is getting worst, I flushed the roots and water between 5.8 and 6 as canna ask

Leaves. Edges burnt
Feeding. Deficiences

You might be over doing it with your plants on the feed. I forget whether it's P or K but it's something like...A potassium toxicity will show up as a Mg deficiency. So you when you added the extra calmag without flushing first it probably made it worse. You've done the right thing with the flush. I'd start at 1/4 strength nutes and work your way back up. I don't know much about those kinda nutes but 11.65ml/l seems crazy high. I'm at 10 but half of my feed is pure calcium and it gets eaten up in half a day which leaves my ppm average at 450. Anything over 800 is overkill imo.

Everything going pretty smooth, they are doing so good. Gelato seems to be recovering and its the one showing the biggest bud mass so far. It was such a big pitty that the Northern Lights hermied :S. Until next week, happy growing!!

Plants are doing absolutly amazing. The smell in the tent is so Sweet and nice now. I'm using this week the PK, and for the next 2 weeks I'll just water with PH'ed water, no more feeds after this week for the plants. I'm not sure yo use the PK on the gelato, as It has been some pain in the ass figuring why leaves looked so vas Anyway, I'll feed It just once. Happy growing!!

It's being and easy week. I've been checking the plant trichomes here and there, and I've seen the matanuska has most of the trichomes cloudy and some amber ones already. So I placed It under the shower to give It a nice flush as I'll probably be chopping It next week. WW and gelato still have some time yo do. I have stopped feeding nutes and from now on I'll be watering with pH of 6.0 with some run off to assure plants flush. Buds are getting some hints of purple and looking very frosty. Happy growing!

Week 9, plants are looking awesome. I wanted to harvest by this week the Matanuska, but the fade is not the one I desired, so I'll probably be waiting for this Friday to harvest it. The Gelato and the White Widow are showing some nice fading now, and deficiencies are showing. I'm sad I got nervous and shut the nutrients a week earlier I believe on this two strains, gelato was never well fed as she gave me all the deficiencies early flower and I think it could have been done a lot better, trichomes on this ones are starting to get milky. Well, mistakes were made, and I believe this will help me with the next grows I do, anyway I'll probably be pretty satisfied with the end results. The Dark Devil got her first feed of nutrients this week, and the rest are just being watered with water ph'ed at 6.0 with some run off. I'll be back next Friday with the harvest of the Matanuska and to show how the other strains are doing. Happy growing :)

It did grow pretty well on the veg stage, but as soon as I switched It to flower I started watching some deficiencies and it took me long till I managed ti flush and started from 0 nutrients to a quarter of the dose the other plants were getting. I never gave ver full nutes and by the end of flower deficiencies showed really fast as It was never properly fed. I would have loved yo give her one more week. Anyway I'm pretty happy with the end results and I'll probably be growing this strain again. I know all the issues I went through Will make me a better grower!! It's a very very stinky strain, and with beautiful colours on the buds. I'll wait till it's dry to upload the dried weight of the buds.

Well, I really enjoyed growing this strain, it was a pretty easy strain to grow. As soon as the buds have dried and cured for a week I'll be posting the dry weight of them, this weight of this strain is a lot bigger than the gelato one, as you can feel the big colas weight a lot.

It's being pretty easy right now, with the other 2 plants being chopped down. by the end of next week I'll be chopping down the white widow, as I want trichomes to look 25% amber and most of them being cloudy. Can't wait to taste this strains I've grown. Happy growing!!
