Green Crack Auto Fem: Afghani x Skunk #1 x Ruderalis
Planted seed on April 5 at 5:30 pm
Day 1: April 10th, early morning
4.5 days from seed to sprout
About 65% Canna Coco Coir, 15% Miracle Gro Perlite, 15% Wiggle Worm Castings, old roots from last plant, and nutrients.
5 Gallon Squat Pot Nutrients:
Gaia Green 4-4-4 Veg: 20 tablespoons/5 gallons
Gaia Green 2-8-4 Bloom: 6.7-ish tablespoons/5 gallons
75/25 split
4/20/2020/Day 10 @10:40pm: Growing with both veg and bloom lights on since the start. Using only vegetative light for a couple/few days. Looking for higher humidity in my tent and some stretch. Not looking for much stretch. I like the shorter, cola loaded tops of smaller plants. :) It's more about humidity levels.
4/22/2020/Day 11: Back to veg and bloom lights on at 12:30am. The tent was too cool with just veg light. Added humidifier today
April 25, 2020/Day 15: I applied LST/tipped her over today and defoliated one leaf.
April 25/Day 16: EEEEEeeee I watered with the wrong container, giving her tap water, fresh out of the tap. Chlorinated and all. :D I chased it with 2 litres of proper 6.5 PH.
April 27/Day 17: Defoliated 2 leaves and reapplied LST. She is growing like ground coverage, especially after LST. :D
I think it's safe to plant a third seed in my small tent. She looks small. Maybe she will surprise me and start taking off in growth. :) This is the smallest plant I've seen at Day 17.
May 1 @1pm/Day 21: Topped her at her highest point
May 1 @ 11pm/EOD 21: Defoliated 4 more leaves and applied LST to all of the tops
May 2: Watered with a PH of 6.5, always using a bit of vinegar to PH down. Water included a pinky finger tip amount of crushed and stirred eggshells. Shells had been sitting in the water for 1.5 days. Shells did not enter the medium. Just the water they sat in.
May 6/Day 26: Preflowering begins
May 8/Day 28: Amended topsoil with 12 tablespoons of Gaia Green 2-8-4 and 10 tablespoons of Gaia Green 4-4-4
Day 47/May 27: Top dressed with 7.5 tablespoons of Gaia Green 2-8-4 and about 2.5 tablespoons of Gaia Green 4-4-4 slow release nutrients. Defoliated a lot of leaves and reapplied LST
Day 55/June 4, 2020: Amended topsoil with 10 tablespoons of Gaia Green 2-8-4 and 3.25 tablespoons of Gaia Green 4-4-4 organic slow release nutrients. Watered with PH 6.67
Last week I accidentally watered with a PH below 6.0. You can see that some leaves are damaged. Her PH would have been higher as I just added time release nutrients. I imagine nutrient burn in part as well.
This week I defoliated over 25 leaves and wet trimmed. Resin on my fingers was like glue. lol
She was last watered and flushed with 6L of water on Day 64 and left in the tent under a "LED Grow Light for Indoor Plants, YGROW 100W Growing Lamp" that draws 35 watts of power from the wall. I will be harvesting her within days
Day 71/June 20: Partial harvest followed by second harvest, as shown in pictures. Picture quality is poor. I need a new camera
Have yet to test. Can't wait! Third time I've grown this strain
Will update soon. I'm going to guess around 1.8-2.2 ounces of dry weight.
June 26 Update: Final outcome is 2.399 ounces jarred. Once jarred I added humidity as she was dried approximately one day longer than necessary.
LST greatly helps lower colas to thicken with greater light penetration and thicker stalks. She provided very little popcorn bud. LST is nice!
Easy grow, nice sticky, dense trichome filled colas from a smaller plant. I am very please with her smell of sweet, earthy and pine. Hits to the head were after the first couple of inhales. A nice cerebral buzz followed. Energy kicked in and I feel like being creative. :)
Sorry about the picture quality. I am waiting on a sale to buy a new camera that I have my eye on.
Fantastic grow. Really nice job. I enjoyed going through each week. You documented it well. Enjoy the smoke and best of luck on the next grow my friend. 👍
Man!! I almost picked up this strain!! But I went with Cream Cookies, and Smoothie. Now i'm regretting it cause your plants are beautiful!! Come check out my first grow of Humboldt Seed Company's Notorious T.H.C.! Cheers and happy growing!!
Damn! How your plants grow so nicely. My seedlings get leggy even when I am keep lights 22-24 inches and very slow growth. I am still trying to understand whats going wrong with my babies.
All the best for the grow, keep posted.
Hi! Are you reusing soil (coco mix) from previous grow? even Im washing up coco from previous grow due to lockdown and cannot buy new coco. Im just trying to get to optimum PH now but its not going lower than 6.5 however i will wash it one more time with 5.5 PH. hope PH lowers somewhere around 6 maybe.
{Killed 1 more seedling (Mobydick) trying to grow in water bed, however another 1 (amnesia) looks good so far} . 1 Mobydick is in paper towel now, will plant it in grow bag tomorrow. (coco/perlite mix)
Do you check leaf surface temperature? what temp range it should be for good photosynthesis.
I have seen some videos and read about phlizon cob led lights and "Stronger" switch/mode seems to be perfect for seedlings/veg plants. I switched off veg/bloom lights and currently under "Stronger" cob lights only. what do you think about it?
I am very confused at this time with this light, you are the only one I see growing under phlizon here.
@cloudmafia, Yes, I'm reusing the coco coir mix. I flush my pots out with PH 6.5 before amending the soil with slow release nutrients. After the soil has been amended I take the PH reading of runoff and make sure to keep my watering no more or no less than 0.5 higher or lower than the runoff. Depending on which nutrients you are using, you may not be able to get your PH down that low. My coco coir with gaia green nutrients does not have a PH below 6.5-7. I am guessing that you have PH issues and should read up more on it, as well as make sure you have a PH meter that is calibrated properly. A for surface temps, you can check my response to you in an earlier post. It's all in there. :) Good luck
@Solarcradle Green crack and sour diesel 2 strains i ain't had the pleasure in smoking i had green crack shatter once was out this world defo on the hit list for me. Canuck seeds is this mr cannuck from you tube and Instagram or a separate company do u no?
