First grow: Special queen 1

So first i have put two seeds to a cotton wool soaked with water. Now i am waiting for them to germinate. After that a plan putting it to a special soil: Plagron growmix into a big pot (maybe the final). After one day they started to germinate so I have put them to a soil. One bigger seed into a bigger pot, the other into a smaller one.

So Plant A (Fat boy xdd) is much faster and bigger. Light: 45w LED lights (more of them, one is 8000K) - Day 8.-11.: 15h - Day 12.-14.: 16h30m - 17h Temperature: Day: 25-29C (+ fan) Night: 19-23C Plant B (Little boy xdd) is in the natural light - INSIDE by the sunny window (south) and high humidity Temperature 18-28C or - OUTSIDE Temperature 17-25C --------------------------------------------- Soil: both A&B are in Plagron growmix substrate - it has sufficient amount of nutrients for first 3 weeks. Water: stand tap water most of the time if rains - rain water (btw the details above are for the Plant A - because it looks to be more successful)

Plant A is growing rapidly whereas Plant B at a slow pace. (BTW i do not have proper accessories for any of this so I am improvising xd) A is under artificial light (LED 45W) and under constant control. + For air circulation: fan (also in order to get the plant stronger and to reduce the temperature) + Emergency foil: for light reflection - it seems to me that that the plant is too short - not growing the stem in height - and the leaves are too big for the stem imo, hope thats not a problem. - I plan to move it outdoor when the temperature is better and the plant gets bigger -beginning of June (That is why 15-17 hours so the plant won't start flowering when i move it) - Day 19. I am starting acclimating it to the outdoors B is either behind the sunny window (south)/ outdoors if the temperature is above 17C. + Water: still tap water or rain water

Moving them outdoor when the weather is 17+ C. Than outdoor under the light for another 3-4 hours. When the weather is bad I leave them indoor the whole day. They are also on the sunny windowsill through the night and when is the sunrise - so they get a bit light in the morning too. ¨

Both plant A&B are outdoor when the weather is acceptable or they are under the lights indoor. I let the light on through the whole night, so they get 24 hours. As much sun as it possible and than artificial. Usually around 8 - 11 hours of sunlight. I water them everyday with the fertilizer added. (informations above are of Plant A - the bigger one). Interestingly enough they look completely different, tho are the same strain and have been planted at the same time.

So I topped them both and did some LST on plant A. Otherwise everything same as the week before. (information above is of plant A) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Both plant A and B are now permanently outdoor, where is mostly convenient weather. Still applying LST with A, tho not with B - want to let it grow naturally (also it's not as vigorous as A). :)

I have repotted Plant A into 30 L pot. :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

So because of a complicated situation and weather conditions I have decided to force them to flower. I am moving them in the night indoor and then outdoor 9:00-9:30 in the morning, so they get 12h15 - 12h45 of darkness. Prior to that I have defoliated them and switched from terra grow to terra bloom. (btw it's really fun to have to move them around twice a day :))) ). Hope a light pollution won't be much of a problem. So far it works.

This week I accidentally left the garage door open :)) (where they have been getting extra hours of darkness). It was on a day 106. and they got only about 9h20. Fortunately it seems that nothing has happened (perhaps it only slowed their grow). After that they have been getting 13h20-13h30 of darkness. The weather is most of the times sunny with high temperatures - up to 32°C (seldom also storms and raining). On sunny days like this they drink 6L of water combined (3x throughout the day, 2x fertilized and 1x without). (the holes on the leaves seem to be from dew and rain)

Weather: sunny 22-33°C, occasionally storms There have been only a little (to no) stretch these first 3 weeks of flowering. Probably strain related. Darkness: 13h-13h20 ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. ....................

Both got 13h-14h10 of darkness. Bit colder weather this week, especially nights, sometimes as low as 10°C. They are not growing in height any more, but the buds seem to grow well. (for Special queen 1 the flower stage takes 7-8 weeks so it's in the middle)

Temperatures have fallen down a lot. 18-26 °C through the day and as low as 9°C in the night. Though I am moving them in the middle of the night indoor, where is about 20°C so they avoid the lowest temperatures. Plant A has bigger and denser buds and are turning purple :DD. So at the end of this week I have noticed some leaves and buds dying off ... Plant A has a rot ... I had to remove the biggest bud and also parts of other ones ... I have noticed any in Plant B.

I will start flushing the A at the beginning of the week (B in the middle, there is no rot and has a more immature buds). Hopefully there will be something left on the Plant A in a few weeks. ... or I will have to harvest it sooner.. Also will try a peroxid hydrogen with water to kill the rot (before the dark cycle) and will hope there won't be a bad weather - it should be better from now on ... higher temperatures and lower humidity. Anyway this fcking rot just ruined the Plant .... Never would I have expected it would end like this ...

So because of the rot I had to cut down Plant A. The pestils were almost all brown (on the top more than the lower ones) and the trichoms seemed to be mostly milky (even a bit amber on the top). It was in the flower stage only for 6 weeks, thus 1/2 weeks before normal harvest time. I have been removing rotten parts of bud every day, so this seemed as a best way to go. It have been flushed for one week (hopefully it is enough). Haven't been waterning her for a day before the harvest. I plan letting Plant B grow for another few weeks, so the buds are properly grown and ready (she seems to be a week slower).

Since it was my first grow, I don't have other experiences to compare it with. It was fun af :D I would say that it was very hard only because I had to move the plants at least two times a day to force to flower, as it wasn't the right time of the year for them. But in it on itself the growing was moderately hard, I assume. In the middle of the flowering stage both got mold, but that I ascribe to the extremely humid and rainy weather, also probably to my limited experience. I have to say that watching them grow and flourish was one of my greatest experiences, I absolutely adored it, hence I will continue next year for sure. Also I would like to point out that the community out there, where the members and fellow growers are more than willing to advice and help, is absolutely fantastic and couldn't be more supportive :) .
