Prepared the spot and started germination.
The greenhouse is 3m long 2 m wide and 2 m high.
The soil is a mix of allmix, decomposed tree leaves, garden ground and a bit of wood ashes, i added special automatik mix of bat guano (10g/L), Marine food (5g/L) and worm compost (2L/hole) in the soil mix.
The nutrients are locally transformed.
The holes are about 20L/25L
Pots are about 20 L
1 of each strain in a pot, the 2 others in the ground.
One of the malana seems to be a weak pheno i decided to start germination for the 2 Seeds i have left.
All the plants are Good exept One of the malanas which i ll replace within the week.
Last week was very hot and sunny the week coming is suppose to be cloudy and rainy.
Decided to add 2 Malana Bomb and 2 Critical Kush as i had a lot of free space in the Greenhouse
Started those 4 new seeds on the 22nd and 24th (water/coton/seedmix)
Should i try LST on some of those ladies or should i just let them be ? (Not right now but within the 2 next weeks). I saw it was possible to make LST on autoflo in the first 3 weeks but is it really gonna mate the crop bigger or is it just gonna stress the plant ?
Yea man LST IS tha best , Low Stress Training or LST is like bonsai for cannabis plants. It’s the practice of gently bending stems and tying them in place to drastically change the shape of the plant. This is done to create multiple bud sites, even out the canopy, and overall help you use light more efficiently. Using LST can increase marijuana yields without changing your setup, and it's also surprisingly fun! I myself train my autos as early as I can but I try to wait and make that stem grow a little bit longer from the soill because when i start bending all the stems they get kinda very close to the soil and it gets a little bit more tricky to water but it's all good!
Why settle with just one big cola when you could have many huge colas?
Very rainy at the moment, Zk OG still going very well
Added half dose of Flowering guano mix
Started LST on the toller ones
Most of them are good looking exept for one of the Critical which was suffocating (the first leaves were turning yellow)and stoped its growth.. i removed her from the rock wool block it was in. And indeed the roots havent found their way to the soil. Took the wool off and planted her in the soil. We ll see what happens.
One got attacked by a slug (which was directly evicted 😅) she started growing new leaves after 2 Days
LST going well on ZK3 and CK3
I overwatered MB3 i think, the fact that she s in a plastic pot dosent help..
ZK 1 and MB1 got attacked by slugs, i have good hope for ZK1 tho, this genetic seems to grow whatever happens :
ZK2 was suffocating in its rockwool cube but still growing with à Nice Green !
Transplanted her in a pot after removing the rockwool cube
CK2 is dead 😢
My dog stepped on CK1 a week or two ago, growing very slowly and the leaves seem to dry and have a very dark thick color. It stem bent but didn’t break, do you think she’ll be able to produce a small bud ?
Cold weather for a few days
From now i ll stay focus on ZK3 and CK3 for this Diary.
Growing great ! The CK is looking particulary good !
ZK3 is growing nice branches and is a bit lower. Both stems get fat.
Geting them outside as often as possible.
Sun is shining this week
The flowering started this morning, the first filaments appeared !
Hey there 👋
Looks good!
She’s got leaves coming in and they will help her photosynthesize. Growth is slow in the beginning. Give her 2-3 weeks and you'll see sudden growth.
Happy Growing 🌱
The newest generation of white LEDs are really the way to go! They have the best effeciency/dollars per watt, and you will really save tons of money with them (unless you need the light to actually heat your space). I run lights from HLG which are a great option. The individual fixture(s) you choose would depend on the actual grow/tent size even beyond the amount of autos. I am guessing you are doing at least a 4x4, maybe a 6x6 space for 15 plants? If so this is a great light: https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/products/hlg-550-v2-rspec
You are aiming for a ppfd of around 700 for optimal lighting/photosynthesis. Here is a really helpful link that uses a lot of grow light science if you are interested! https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/how-to-evaluate-and-compare-grow-lights-for-cannabis/
For a budget option the new Mars hydro lamps with white LEDs also give some really nice results, and are more widely available!
Hope that helps! 👍
Flowering is starting for both of them, filaments are coming.
Added the last part of Guanodiff Flowering (75g/plant) mixed in the 5 first cm to the soil.
Watered
Kept LST going
They are getting big this week
CK3 Secondaries never stop growing
Nice green leaves, healthy plants
Last LST session for the ladies, I want to keep a big main cola if possible
Ok ! Week 8, CK is looking f***n awesome !
ZK has the best smell tho !
Started to spray GD booster on the leaves today, it’s an organic booster (to be used between week 4 and week 8 into flowering)
Very rainy week ! Also the temperature got lower, hope it’s gonna get better for the end of flowering !
Hi there!
Yes it is safe to use boosters on buds too!
I use foliar with my flowering plants up until the flowers are formed big enough and there is the danger of moisture staying inside the buds and causing rot. With small buds and proper wind/airflow there is absolutely no worries!
Beginning of week 9
Flowers are slowly getting bigger, I spray the plants with GDBooster (5ml/L) every 2 evenings.
(It’s an organic booster, it’s made to be used between week 4 and week 8 of flowering)
Do not defoliate, specially on outdoor plants, the more leaves the better, as light is not directional from the top and the sun moves around the plant.
They look amazing!
Week 11, last week for the Flowering booster.
Buds are getting bigger and slowly get frosted
Probably need about 2 more weeks, what do you think ?
I found a way to make a microscope using a telescope lent and my phone
Since you're outdoors try taking close up shots at different times of the day. Morning, afternoon, evening when she has different light available. Use the flash, and if you were able you could always bring a light outside to shine on her while you take photos just to boost that clarity.
Close to harvest ? I recon they need 1 or 2 more weeks (as the trichomes are milky almost on all the buds)
The pistils are still pretty white (i d say 30% of them turned orange)
Hey growmie...
Yes you are very close to harvest. Even though most of the trichomes are cloudy already you want to wait now until 50-70% of the white hairs have turned brown then she'll be ready to chop down.
Hopefully this was helpful and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.
Привет, бро! 👋 Есть случаи просушки в таком устройстве, но проблема в том что она пересушит ваши соцветия, эти устройства не имеют гигрометра и не могут вовремя остановить процесс сушки! Не рекомендую эти методы! Лучшие методы - долгая сушка! Чем дольше, тем лучше, но остановиться на 60% влажности, после ферментация в банках - только таким образом ты получишь качественный продукт! 👌😉👍 Удачи, бро!
Week 12, almost there !
I’m keeping a close eye on those trichs, still not getting Amber enough.
Full senescence for CK3, beautifull colors, and what a smell ! Piny and résinous
ZK3 smells like berries and sweets cant wait to smoke it !
Getting more Amber trichs on ZK3,
Still waiting for them to show un on CK3
Приветствую, друг! 👋
Производитель семян обещает что у этой девочки период цветения составляет 10-11 недель! 70-77 дней! У тебя прошло 7 недель цветения, так как цветение у вас началось по-настоящему на 6 неделе а не на 5, как вы указали в дневнике. Посчитав, выходим на остаток 21-28 дней! Вам ещё 2 недели растить на удобрениях и потом неделя Flush! 👆
Удачи, бро! ✊😇
My ladies are both very close to harvest !
Wonderfull Colors for Critical Kush 3, what a smell ! Trichs are still very white on this one, few Amber ones
Zkittlez OG is rippening, Amber is more then visible, non on all buds tho, some seem to be a bit late..
Harvest very soon
Still giving them rain water
Hey Growmie,
Ideally, I'd recommend trimming while your buds are still wet, as it’s easier, more precise, and you don’t risk losing resin from agitation as you do when handling dry buds. That said, dry trimming can make for an exceptionally manicured product worthy of a top-shelf position on looks alone.the drying stage takes about 7–12 days, depending on the above factors. During this time, your buds will lose a lot of water, meaning they’ll shrink in size and lose a lot of weight, too. Most growers will cure their weed for around a month; however, curing for 4–8 weeks will really get the most flavor and aroma out of your buds. When curing the ideal humidity is between 55-62 % RH. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".
Very easy to grow from the beginning. Very resistant, she s been growing whatever the weather. Very good for LST, she produced buds on the secondary colas that are almost as big as the one on the main cola. Cant wait to taste it ! Thanks @barneysfarm
