My tent is set to arrive today, so decided to get started on cracking one of the test seeds FastBuds sent me, Thank you for that btw ;)
This will be my first grow in a fabric pot.
Will update this week as germination comes along
Germination timeline:
- 03/25: Soaked
- 03/25: Sunk, 12hrs after soak
- 03/26: Cracked, 12hrs after being move to wet paper
- 03/28: Planted
- 03/31: Seedling!
Growing nicely, and getting some very tight node spacing.
Still early in the grow, so not much to report.
Trying to decide if I should experiment with topping/FIMing her.
I've read up on it, and there's some that have gotten good results, but most do not recommend it.
Can't tell if it works for me until I've tried it though. 😅
- Week 2 Update
She was growing very strong and fast, so decided to try out topping her.
Doesn't seem to be any severe stress caused by this, the day after now.
Will let her grow a bit more and then apply some LST.
She's recovering well from the topping, will begin some light LST soon, to get her to branch out and let some light come into the lower sites.
A strong grower!
So decided to start training her, as she was starting to block out some of the lower branches.
Seems like the topping never really slowed her down!
Around 3-4 days into week 3 I found signs of flowering, so switched nutrients to a light bloom.
Will also let her grow into the stretch now and stop the LST.
Growing like crazy, have to tug leaves several times a day.
Leafs are almost like tobacco leaves, thick and lush and very textured.
Should be some interesting weeks.
Explosive growth on this one, really stretching towards the lights.
Looking excellent so far.
Started using a little bit more nutrients, using recommended now.
Decided to do a little mid-week defoliating, could see a lot of sites not getting any light.
let's see how she takes to it
So she's growing well, and budding up nicely as well.
I'm seeing some leaf tip clawing, so dialing down on the Nitrogen for a few waterings.
But also seeing some of the newer leaves losing color, and not sure what that might be.
Might be I need to add a little CalMag, but afraid it might make the Nitrogen toxicity even worse
Starting to see small dark/black discolorations on the leaves.
Since I don't know the genetics, I can't tell if it's prone to dark leaves.
Could it be signs of anything else?
Note: Started watering only using TopMax and ActiVera because of some possible Nitrogen toxicity
Yes it could be genetics but it looks like molybdenum deficiency.
It is often caused by low temps and excess sulphur. It should be nothing to worry about tho!
Been having some trouble with leaf tips burning off and main leaves being eaten way too fast (for my liking).
Figured it might be my LED's that are too bright for her, in her late stage flowering.
So lowered the lights to, roughly, 80%.
Seems to have helped a bit.
She's definitely starting to have some scent to her, very sweet and fruity.
Smells delicious every time i open the tent 😎
Really filling in nicely now, and the smell is so sweet and mouthwatering.
Not seeing many clear trichomes, most are already cloudy but not many are amber.
Think I've given the last feeding today, and will switch to water only for the last week or two.
Curing update: decided to go for a little lower humidity in the jar, since it will be primarily vaped. 2 Weeks in and i'm getting some good blueberry aromas from the jars.
So finally got a chance to get a good test.
It's been a great day, lots done and lots of sun.
Had just finished a good barbecue, and decided to enjoy some chill and Pax.
Ground just enough for a single load, probably 0.4g, and really got the sweet scent out when grinding it.
Even though it has only cured for a few days, it was very smooth, even on the warmer settings late in the session.
Felt a little slight joy after a couple of minutes, mixed with a very calm feeling in the body.
Slowly it got a little more euphoric, but never without feeling fully in control, and after some 10-20 minutes it settled.
Got into a very focused mindset, and get a spark of energy that got me off the couch (from being soberly couch locked into watching several Peaky Blinders).
Went and did some of my daily, corona, exercises and ended up going for a walk in the park.
Never felt "on the spot" in the park, just causally strolling and enjoying the early summer day.
Took a few small hits from the Pax, during the walk, just to keep it going longer.
Came home, enjoyed some of the sunset from my balcony with an audio book, and then settled to watch some documentaries.
This strain will definitely make you think and reflect, great for an intense study of something.
It's been almost 4 hours now, and the high is fading, but without a loss of energy or the interest in doing something (probably while I'm writing this detailed smoke report).
Doesn't feel like I'm going to have insomnia issues, but will update later on that.
All in all a very good strain, definitely 10/10 to FastBuds for this one!
I did feel like all the little aches were gone, and while working out there was an ability to push further than normally.
Would definitely use this for a boost to a light workout, but not heavy lifting since it does impair a bit (for me at least, as a non-regular smoker)
Note; As this is meant to be tested with a relative that suffers heavily from Fibromyalgia, I will let her update on this separately
Update:
- She really enjoyed it, and used it on really bad days.
- Took a dose from a Pax in the morning and it would keep her going, without painkillers, until noon.
- Only real complaint was that it wasn't the best night strain, as it kept her up a bit longer than usual.
Fairly easy to grow, took well to LST and a very minor defoliation.
Would not suggest heavy defoliating, since she really started feeding of the leaves during late flowering.
Also suggest starting out fairly easy on the nutrients, I did manage to burn a bit with N toxicity.
LED lights should be at a good distance. I had to lower the voltage of mine due to height restrictions.
Wet weight is with lots of bigger stems, since I need them to slow down drying.
@aRecreationalist, yea got a keep a eye on that, don't want to stress the plants out at this stage of the game. I'm sure you'll get it under hand, best of luck bud 👍
@Ginger_gnome, Thanks man. Yeah was thinking that as well, but also thought it was a little early.
But the N-tox signs on the leafs keeps me from feeding more 😕
@aRecreationalist, i am fighting with Royal Cookies which are overfed without food :)))
Never tried lightmix, always go with allmix, maybe she just really cant cope grow speed, she is just too fast ;))
Good luck ! Will follow.
@AsNoriu, huhm maybe. Thing is she grew leaves like this since day one. Planted in biobizz light mix, and no nutrients for a while. Will keep an eye on it though, thanks 😉👍
@rhodes68, Hi rhodes. Completely forgot to update it. Sorry about that ;)
Wel she really enjoyed it, and used it on really bad days. Took a dose from a Pax in the morning and it would keep her going, without painkillers, until noon. Only real complaint was that it wasn't the best night strain, as it kept her up a bit longer than usual.
Hi Grower im also grow with BioBizz are you sure that you can make nutbrand with bio? I read anytime thats with bio is really difficult for nutbrands, but i dont know it...
@aRecreationalist, Very interesting, we have exactly the same problem, I also have 2xSpiderfarmer SF 2000 new and at the Start i drive with maximum. I dont know that the Light is so Strong. Now slowly i understand..... I think you have also give to much Light when you give nutrients like Plan i think the nutrients can not be to much.
Green Greetings!
@Bud_Spencer, It might have been that as well.
Potassium deficiency can also be triggered by heat, and light burn.
I probably had my lights too bright, because I got limited height in my tent and was my first grow with my new QB light.
So after I lowered the voltage for the LED's, the symptoms stopped getting worse.
Generally I think I over fed and had too much light and they kinda combined into something worse.
But I acted on both light and feeding at the same time, so unsure if the one thing could have fixed it all.
