Hi everyone. The overnight outside temps got a bit better so I decided its about time to germ some seeds for the summer/outdoor grow ;)
First of all huge thx Dinafem Mark for sending me this free seeds few months ago, I hope that I wont dissapoint You ;)
Germ: classic, 24h soak, then moist papertowel in the dvd case on the modem for 1-2 days, then Rootriot cubes and humidity dome ;) never had issues with this tech...
As for the nutrients Ill go back to the days when I grew mainly outdoor guerilla grows, so 100% nature bio nutrients, simply just the things you are able to find in the nature :
soil: biobizz lightmix (as I have some left) with the garden soil 50:50 + more perlite ;)
Grow phase : fermented nettles (fermentation done in a closed bucket stuffed with nettles and a bit of water for 2 weeks, then 1:10 mixed with water = Nitrogen bomb). This was by far the best grow nutrient that you can just get yourself and is growing everywhere.
Flower phase : Horse manure on the bottom of the bucket + few guano feedings when/if needed ...
Girls are gonna be one week in the hum. dome behind window then they'll move to the greenhouse.
It will be my first outdoor after 13 years so hopefuly it will go as smooth as the indoor grows went after 12 years of buying
edit: because of that ultra quick germination Im skipping the papertowel step completely
Edit 2 : So 72 hours since they were dropped into the water and here we go ;) good morning girls and welcome to the world :)
They need to stay in the propagator/humid dome till monday so hopefuly theyll make it ok... but its like 2 days so I think we're ok ..
Also after theyll take a look at the world a bit today, I'll count it as day 1 from tomorrow.
So first week behind us. 4th day in the grenhouse ..
Needed to change plan a bit. Added auto COOKIES straight into the soil. I think that it will be interesting to see how it will perform in our country. Usualy theres not enough sun for some autos to yield big.. But since I have all this free seeds from Dinafem, I can grow them for "research" purposes ;)
Only one issue, the seed did not sank even after 24 hours in the water, never experienced this, usually it takes em like 12 hours.. so fingers crossed ;) I was like ok seed, fuck you then, and dropped it straight to the RR cube and into the ground without pot.
First Quick Gorilla is in its final fabric pot, aprox 18-20L after bend, originaly 26L .. probably battle plant...
Second Quick gorilla became backup for the cookies. If Cookie grl will get up during next week, then QG2 is moving to the balcony in the different area (and COOKIES will have her own thread) and we willl have greenhouse vs. balcony comparsion grow. If cookies wont come up, QG will go in her place, but in the classic plastic pot. So then it will be fabric pot vs classic plastic. comparsion ..
Today they also got root stim for the first time.
so thats it for today and I'll see you guys next week ;)
Ill update this week once more at day 13-14
added more pics day 14
Girls are growing nicely so far... Both QG's also got their first silica foliar feed today and first nutrients watering as well.. (nettles fermented for 2 week, then the nettle "juice" is mixed 1:10 with water...) Cookies still only on "rootjuice".
Cookies little slower then expected, but days werent sunny lately and its suppose to shine next few weeks so I think that she'll sprint then, meanwhile shes 100% working on those roots without boundaries
QG1 got her first lst session, shell be a beauty when Ill finish that lst "idea" to the full shape ..
QG2 got destroyed by the reain (she was outside to dry out, but storm came uninvited ;) ), She is moving to its final location, balcony, tomorrow. I repotted her into 3l pot, so shell look much better next week I hope .. right now she just looks destroyed as hell ..
so another week behind us.
Cookies (day 20) little slower, but still, there was no sun during day for the whole week, always cloudy, so I guess thats the issue. next week is supposed to be sunny only, so I'll see ..
QG1
next LST session today, lower branches starting to grow more so everything goes as planned... Im so happy with that ;) Only thing, we have some shitty snail that comes over to eat parts of the leaves over night (never seen him around live, fkn bastard). But as Im already on him, it was the last time he tasted our sweet, sweet MJ ;)
QG2 is already in the new location (it will be in the greenhouse as well as QG1, but in different location ), will update during week.... (edit : added)
more LST, more grow.... no preflowers yet so luckily we'll get sum auto monsta :P Quick Gorllla (1) growing as expected, she'll fkn blow your brains out ...
wasnt on the site last week and half. so more LST will come this weekend ;)
Cookies : Still no preflowers on the auto COOKIES, she'll be nice AF
QG1 : Shes starting to became monster bush(shell still have like at least 4-5 weeks of grow, from past experience Im expecting some heavy supercrop that will have to take place later on) ). will bend her more over the weekend. (and probably will take some cuttings for one of my friends to try QG in the indoor enviroment as well ;) and that 100 cm is for the whole stem as it would be without with the lst(pure lengh), otherwise its 50cm of "real" height ;)
and again, apologies for the pics quality as I didnt take em this time .. next time well be back at my standard
QG2: friend was attending few festivals (and I was traveling hard as well, as we finally could travel again last two weeks) so there wasnt time, Ill update QG2 in the next week update.
Day 51 for the lovely QG, no signs of preflowers yet, but its still around 15,5 hours of light outside, so there will be like at least 4-5 weeks of grow phase ..
that smell when entering the greenhouse, just wow.
Im starting to be affraid :D the greenhouse is only 190 cm high so I expect the need of massive HST next month .. she got her LST session today, so its back at "usable" height for now..
I also took two cuttings, if they will root, being only behind my window, they will go to the aero grow of my friend .. (or Ill start my shiny new led lamp bit earlier and put them straight under 12/12 regime :p )
anyway here are the pics of this beauty
Cookies
wow, just wow. shes a beauty and stretching like crazy (she doubled her size in the last 4 days, now at 1m height). gave her a lil bend (last pic, previous post). healthy girls
preflowers showed (finaly), so 6 weeks to the harvest (hopefuly), I only have like 30 g left from the last indoor, so thats good news :D :D
anyway next watering shell get her first cal/mag feed, as Im usually doing it when preflowers show. just a lil kick of calmag for the start
edit: QG2
pic from last thursday. day 48
this one is beyond my weekly reach, so I have really small impact on her .. I guess that You can tell that str8 away ;)
Anyway, it will be fun as QG2 will be not in the pot but in the earth itself, so Im expecting massive growth within next month and hopefuly she'll catch up and show some natural "non-lst" look
Cookies girl is doing ok, 2nd week of flower so "soon" ;) gave her a lil bend so shes not so close to the glass and took away few leaves for better airflow
QG1 bushy girl ;) preflowers showed so we'll enter flowering phase soon ;) ... and like with the cookies I did a few bends and did a bit of defoliaiton to improve the airflow. As we are in small restricted area of the greenhouse only, my tetris skills came in handy :P
Day 62 cookies
Full bloom, trichomes are shining, smell is almost sensual ;-) lovely structure. Im actualy quite amazed how is this auto performing in our climate belt ... yeah, there will be enough yield to make us happy
QG1 day 72 Needed to supercrop, problems with space are getting more dangerous, granny is pissed and the smell is everywhere... my guess is that she'll start to throw some buds in there during next week (10days since pre_flowers showed is today). There is new greenhouse in talking, small one just for the qg1... Will know more next week ...
Disolved few guano pellets and starting to feed em bit. Those that were put to the soil should start do break down next week so its just for a lil start kick ..
Qg1 doing her thing and is flowering nicely. did more breaking and bending, one branch got it pretty hard so I fixed it with ducktape and we'll see how it goes, but even if this one branch wont recover its not a biggie as she could use some hc pruning anyways, look how bushy she is for 25l ;-)
Shes now more spread to the back part where cookies used to be... Tied her down from 180cm to 150 again.and there is also more air and more light then before ...
Cookies
Fuck me sideways ... Wasnt there for a week and meanwhile that btch got moldy af. First I thought yeah like one more week blahblah ..but greenhouse said no before I arrived. like 90% needed to go down today, left a few lowest buds that looked like will go for next two weeks. . Main bud was gone almost whole and every nice bud was half moldy :-(
Apologies @Dinafem-Mark that I didnt gave her the proper harvest :-((
My guess after cuting everything down to smaller pieces is -60% :-(
Some sad pics follow. And I just spent last hour and half with, cuting out the moldy parts ...
Anyway she smells beautiful a that frosting is really a treat ;-) looking forward to how she tastes ...
Ill have to pay more attention to the qg before the harvest and idealy check her daily ...and Ill put some fan in there just to be sure ..
After Ill harvest her whole Ill mark it harvest ...
day 100 for the QG girl ;)
hopefully the stretch is over or will be in few next days and shell start to put more energy into the buds ;)
edit: updated QG2 plant photos
So another sunday update for the bushy QG1 ;) day 107, week 15
Shes flowering nicely. we did some new bending and mainly tried to get her away from the glass...
Also there was some defoliation done, and we striped down the lower quarter of plant, the airflow should improve drasticaly
day 121 for the QG1 girl ;)
mold striked again, so 3 branches down + few small bud sites removed :( Obviously even with big fan we were unable to keep the humidity at bay ..
So she got "new home" outside, with possibility of being quickly hidden in case of rains .. Its been 3 days since the move and no new mold sites yet so fingers crossed ..
After we fixed her and tied all branches "outside from the view" shes still bigger then me and Im 183cm ... Bare in mind that its still illegal in my country :( so stealth is the main issue.
Anyway she is smelling lovely, more skunky that the clones that Im growing inside (update tomorrow ;) ), clones are smelling much much sweeter.. LED vs SUN fight ;)
Not long to go .....
Oh yeah and now I realised this is for the first time that you can see her from the other side as this was the backside in the greenhouse
edit: added QG2 pics
QG 1 will get down next week. QG2 got a 2 more weeks ahead ;)
QG2 got moved into locked greenhouse because every single plant that that friend got outside got stolen except for QG2 because she wasnt with the other plants in the "main" spot .. fucking thiefs :(
