* I started with the RQS - Cookies-Gelato (CG) and Critical seeds on a glass of mineral water on May 8th, let them in the glass for five days and put them in a soil pot on May 13th.
* On May 15th they germinated, the Critical looked strong, the Cookies-Gelato (CG) less so (she had problems opening up, I had to help her lose the seed cover). I did a feeding with BioVega (0.5 ML) and BioRizho (0.4 ML) for 400 ML of 24 hours rested tap water (200 ML / Plant, 461 PPM, 5.64 PH & 18.4C).
* On May 17th (day 2) I started using an humidifier, both CG and Critical were looking great.
* On May 18th (day 3) lowered the lights to 14" because they were getting e little stretched (CG 1" & Critical 1.5").
* On May 20th (day 5) I did a watering (no nuts, 300 ML/plant, 69 PPM, 21.8 C & 6.02 PH). I had 17% runoff water with a 6.56 PH.
* On May 22nd (Day 7), first week is over (still seedlings): The second set of leaves is on their way. Critical very strong (3 inches), CG is looking good (2 inches), but the problems germinating are still affecting her, the second set of leave is growing but it is not complete, we will see.
* We started week 2 (day 8).
* Day 10: Everything going very good. Cookie Gelato is growing strong, although it has scars from the germination problems. Critical strong. Soil was a little dry and pot light, so I am going to feed them tomorrow.
* Day 11: I did the second feeding, a little stronger than the first at germination. I started with a liter of 24 hrs rested tap water with:
PPM: 31, Temp: 23.4C and PH: 6.86,
then I added 2.4ML BioVega & 2ML BioRhizo and got
PPM: 601, Temp: 23.4C and PH: 5.37,
since I got a PH a little on the acid side I corrected the feed with a knife point of sodium bicarbonate and got the final count of
PPM: 638, Temp: 23.4 C and PH: 6.86.
I use 0.6 Liters to feed the girls (0.3 L/plant) and got a 58% (0.35L) runoff with PH: 5.86 and Temp: 25C.
*Day 12: The last 48 hrs growth has been amazing, both girls are looking great, you barely can see CG scars. I started the Monkey Fan today.
*Day 13: Growing very bushy, 3rd node strong and well developed, 4th on the way. Measure them today: GC 3 in & Critical 3.5 in.
*Day 14: Good bye, germination-seedling phase.
* Day 15: Starting week 3, ladies getting larger. Fourth node consolidated, but I am going to wait another week for first topping, because I want to make some clones.
* Day 16: Growing fine, today I fed them, 5 days from last feed, the soil was dry one inch deep, with 600ML (300ML each) of 24 hrs rested tap water with PPM(30), PH(6.86) & Temp(23.2C), I added 1.4ML BioVega & 1.2ML BioRizho and I got PPM(884), PH(5.17) & Temp(23.2). Following this I corrected acidity with 2 1/2 points of a knife of sodium bicarbonate and the number were PMM(974), PH(6.8) & Temp(24C). I got 16% (100ML) runoff with PH(6.86).
* Day 17: Cookie Gelato (CG) catches up with Critical, both 4 in tall.
* Day 19: I watered the girls with 400ML (200ML each) of 24 hour rested tap water with PPM(31), Temp(23.2C) & PH(6.86), no runoff. Roots are starting show at the bottom of the pot, time to transplant to 7 gallon (26 L) fabric pots.
* Day 20: Soil was dry, one inch down. I watered the girls with 600ML (300ML each) of 24 hour rested tap water with PPM(31), Temp(23C) & PH(6.86), this time I got a runoff of 21% (125ML) with PH(6.86).
* Day 21: Three weeks old since germination (4 weeks from seed), very beautiful grow, very impressed with Cookie Gelato bushiness and Critical strong development (the got to 5 in height).
* Day 22: Starting week 4 since germination. I transplanted them to a 7 gallon SmartPot, I used 25 L of BioCanna Terra Plus per plant as soil and 10 gr of Xtreme Mykos per plant. I fed them 9 L (4.5 L/girl), I started with 9 L of 24 hrs rested tap water with PPM(33), Temp(23C) & PH(6.86), then I added 22 ML of BioVega & 18ML of BioRizho and got PPM(682), Temp(23C) & PH(4.95). Next, I corrected the acidity with 5 knife points of Sodium Bicarbonate and I got the final mix PPM(711), Temp(23C) & PH(6.06).
* Day 23: Today I topped the girls and took two clones of each. I used Clonex and for spraying rested tap water (0.5 L) with (1ML BioRizhotonic).
* Day 25: Did a little defoliation.
* Day 26: Topped for the second time, two nodes, did some defoliation and started Main-Lining & LST.
* Day 27: I fed the girls. I started with 9 L of at least 24 hrs rested tap water with PPM(32), Temp(22C) & PH(6.86), then I added 22 ML of BioVega & 18ML of BioRizho and got PPM(653), Temp(22C) & PH(5.36). Next, I corrected the acidity with 5 knife points of Sodium Bicarbonate and I got the final mix PPM(667), Temp(22C) & PH(6.93).
* Day 28: Did some defoliation. Week four is over, looking forward to the last two weeks of veg. One topping left.
* Day 29: First day week 5 since germination.
* Day 32: I did some defoliation and adjusted the LST. Soil is getting dry, tomorrow I will feed the girls.
* Day 33: Checked the soil, drying but not enough, still a little wet one inch bellow surface, I will wait until tomorrow to feed the girls.
* Day 34: I fed the girls, started with 10 L 24 hrs rested tap water with PPM(37), Temp(21C) & PH(6.86), then I added 24 ML BioVega & 20ML BioRhizo and got PPM(682), Temp(20C) & PH(5.4). I corrected acidity with six knife points of Sodium Bicarbonate and got the final mixed of PPM(696), Temp(20C) & PH(6.23). I had some runoff with PH(5.72).
* Day 35: 5th week is complete. Tomorrow I will do the last topp.
* Day 36: I LST the girls, sadly I broke one line of CG, so she only has 3 lines. Critical is perfect, four lines. I am going to wait until tomorrow to top them. My plan is to top CG again, so it will have 12 final colas (instead of 8) this will make my veg time longer though. I will let Critical with 8 main colas.
* Day 37: I topped them and did some defoliation.
* Day 41: The soil is wet and the pot heavy so no need to feed today.
* Day 42: Six weeks are up, no need to feed this week. Girls looking great, have to top CG and topping is over. I think is going to take me two more weeks of veg. Critical topping is done, just growing, LST & defoliation.
** THIS WEEK'S PLAN: **
** I am going to do some topping (CG only), LST and Defoliation.
** CG six lines are going to be topped to get 12 lines this week, instead the six I have after breaking one node with two lines last week.
** Critical 8 lines, she is staying this way.
* Day 43: Not ready for feeding yet (still wet one inch down, last week we had particularly wet weather), growing strong.
* Day 46: I topped CG, LST and defoliated both girls. I think I going to fed the girls tomorrow, soil is getting dry. I sprayed the girls with a 3ML/L solution of Neem oil, as a preventive measure for unwanted insects, I have no problems, but I've seen some small black flies. I sprayed them one hour before turning the lights off.
* Day 47: I fed the girls, I started with 10 Liters of 24 hrs rested tap water with PPM(0039), Temp(23C) & PH(6.34); then I added 24 ML of BioVega, 20ML of RhizoBio and 2 tbsp of a honey-ginger mix I do, I got PPM(0711), Temp(23C) & PH(4.96). I corrected acidity with 16 knife points of Sodium Bicarbonate and got final mix: PPM(0836), Temp(23C) and PH(6.02).
* Day 48: I added some soil (Canna Bio Terra Plus) and cover the top of the soil with arlite. Also some LST.
* Day 49: I sprayed the girls again with a 3ML/L solution of Neem oil, as a preventive measure for unwanted insects, one hour before turning lights off. Everything was dry and this wraps week 7 up.
* Day 50: Last week of veg started, this is transition week, the plan: just watch them grow, some LST, some Neem Oil spraying and adding BioBloom to the nuts mix.
* Day 51: It is getting warmer and the girls are growing: the soil is drying up faster. Tomorrow I will feed the girls.
* Day 52: I fed the girls, using 10 L, 24 hrs rested tap water with PPM(0039), Temp(25C) & PH(6.04), I put BioVega 29 ML, BioRizho 5 ML, BioBoost 30 ML & 2 tbsp of my honey ginger mix, I got PPM(868), Temp(25 C) & PH(4.54). I corrected acidity with 16 knife points of Sodium Bicarbonate and I got the final mix PPM(1160), Temp(25) & PH(6.19). I got some runoff from feeding with a PH(5.54).
* Day 53: Adjusted the ties (LST).
* Day 55: Adjusted the ties (LST).
* Day 56: 8th week is up. I adjusted the ties (LST) and did some defoliation (big fan leaves only) on CG. I am going give the girls another week of veg. Critical is OK, but CG is lagging a little bit because she has an additional topping.
* Day 57: I will put them in another week of veg, due to the lag of CG consequence of an additional topped. I spray some water Neem Oil just before turning the lights off.
* Day 58: Adjusted the lines (LST).
* Day 60: Adjusted the lines (LST), checked the soil and it is still moist, so no feed today. I sprayed them with Neem Oil and water, just before turning the lights out.
* Day 62: Today the soil was dry, so I fed the girls: Started with 8L (I was using 10L before, but went down because last time had too much runoff), 4L per plant, of more than 24 hrs rested tap water, with PPM(0039), Temp(25C) & PH(6.15), I added 23 ML BioVega; 4 ML BioRizho, 24 ML BioBoost & 1.6 Tbsp my mix of Honey & Ginger and I got PPM(0852), Temp(25C) & PH(4.7), I corrected acidity with 10 knife points of Sodium Bicarbonate and I got the final feed with PPM(1011), Temp(25C) & PH(6.17). I sprayed them with Neem oil and water solution, just before lights off.
* Day 63: Grow phase (veg) is up, 70 days from seed and 63 days from germination. It could be 8 weeks, but I had the problem with one of the Cookies Gelato lines, so I choose to let them g for another week of grow. In any case, two weeks of seedlings and six weeks of grow is not bad at all.
* Day 64: Starting flower. Last night was the first 12 hrs off.
* Day 65: Sprayed them with Neem Oil - Water solution just before lights out.
* Day 66: Sprayed them with Neem Oil - Water solution just before lights out.
* Day 67: Put them under Mars Hydro TSW2000 @ 50% potency (~150 Watts). I have to tell you the Innotech T1 Beast 60W is just that, a Beast, very good small light. I put a sticky yellow paper to catch some fungus gnats.
* Day 68: Last night catched some fungus gnats, the fight continues, even thoug is very dry. I fed the girls, I started with 8 Liters of long rested (more than 24 hrs) tap water with PH(6.75), PPM(0042) & Temp(25), I added 22 ML BioFlores, 4ML BioRizho, 24ML BioBoost and 7 gr of THC (The Hemp Company) Dolomite (CaO 37.8% & MgO 11%) and I got PH(6.44), PPM(1085) & Temp(25), before watering I applied 185 gr (per pot) of TopCrop Superguano (BatGuano). I did some defoliation (very bottom big fan leaves) and added some new lines. Sprayed some Neem Oil - Water solution, 5 min before lights out.
* Day 69: More gnats trapped sticky paper working. Raise consumption of lights to 62.5% (~188 Watts).
