Starting a new grow for outdoors, but since the weather has been so unpredictable I'm starting them indoors till it stabilizes outside a bit more. Basic indoor setup like my other grows. This was a gift seed from Humboldt, this seed was the fist to pop out of its shell and was the last to breach the soils surface, when it did, it was upside down. I've never seen this happen before I was under the impression gravity solved that part for the plant. I'm guessing the soil was to heavy in one spot and the forward growth just pushed its butt/tail in the air, I flipped it around and gave it some love, its baby leaves were yellow and looked like the seed was about to die, but 12 hours later it greened up and spread its wings. the first photos are showing that. Since then it has been doing great! Cant find my ideal medium of coir right now, so using the promix stuff, its not the professional lineup just organic tomato n veg from big box store, same stuff I used for all my other indoor grows. only thing is, if you don't use a soil mycorrhizae or inoculate the mold comes in strong and hard, previous grows I used a bit of voodoo juice. the mold took out one of my other seeds I was trying. Will move them outside next week sometime, hoping to update this every Sunday, inside they are getting gaia green in there mix to give them lots of food before they hit a deficiency, and outside I will be giving them Acti-sol fertilizer + a test fertilizer. will be feeding them every water outdoors with this test nutrient. Will revel what it is at the end of the grow if it works out :)

This little one is right on track, no issues with transplanting it or anything. It's taking to the outdoors just fine. I think it helped this week as we had a massive heat wave for 4 days. temps up into the high 20's low 30's. 28-30c (82-86f) with 60%+ RH, seems this once an upside down seed is now a right side up plant.

This week is going well, the birds have left my plants alone so I have removed the bamboo spike defence. Its entering its preflower stage now, maybe in a week or two it will be in full flower. I was planing on doing some LST with this one, and now I think I'll let it it go on its own, doing a lot with the other plants this year like to have a normal one. Started the Mysterious Nutrient and will revel at the end if I think it helped out a lot after the dry/cure. I have base line expectations for this grow using the same nutrients and medium. So will know from the yields I get and compare them to last years grow and other plants I've grown outside from years previous.

Entering week 2 of pre flower, should be full bloom next week. It's growing quite well nothing to report other then that. The night time temperatures are dropping down to 9c (48f) for the next few days, we will see how that affects this little one.

This has been a fun week for this Cheese from Humboldt, it has made a mini flower on one of its fan leaves and a bee got wrecked in one of its flowers. I want to say it got stoned, but no idea if they can, the bee was super chill I could pet it and get real close with the macro lens, it did not care one bit. It could have been injured from something else like a predator or pesticide but she was gone by the following evening. Other then that nothing to new, the plant is growing nicely and I have no complaints about it. I keep comparing the smell from it to the other cheese variety from Dinafem I'm growing and they are different but I cant yet focus in on how, will be better adept at doing this once they are both in flower, I got high hopes for both plants. Added in the standard 2 week fertilizer Acti-Sol Tomato & Vegetable 4-6-8, had it fortified into the soil from the get go so did not add extra it in till now. About one month out.

This week was normal, had one issue with what I thought was an iron related one, added some vinegar into the water to help lower the mediums PH down and unlock the iron, as I know its abundant in the mediums mix. Seemed to do the trick. I have never PH'd any of my outdoor grows before and I feel this was needed because of the extra mystery nute, it can be a bit alkalizing. Did a little bit of LST and cleaned up some of the larger fan leaves that where blocking the lower nodes, they have gotten fatter and gained some height since this. Mysterious Nutrient in as normal, and the biweekly acti-sol feeding. other then that nothing else to report.

So i forgot last week was this plants feeding and it got a 2nd week of feed. Will place it on the same feeding as my Mexican Airlines as they are only a week apart and will be soon ready for harvest. going to the end of the 13th week. gave this some LST to light into the lower nodes, might have stretched it a bit to much but we will see. everything elce is good about this plant, no problems. the buds are nice and dense now. hoping they continue the tend and grow a bit more.

This gul is getting Phat, ran into some NANNERS, got a few on the plant, picked em all off. Will harvest a week early probably. Excited to see if it makes any viable seeds if it pollinated at all, don't know if they would be sterile or how that works, as it was already pollinated by a female plant to be feminized in the first place. I do think I caused the nanners in this plant from giving it to much LST late into flower trying to dense up the buds. the Humboldt Seeds webpage said its about a 9 week grow or 60-65 days till maturity at 30-60g/plant. So I am pushing it a bit already, I like the 13 week timeline just as a number, however I think it will be best to chop at 10 or 11 for this one. Will know if I don't post next Saturday as I will be waiting for the dry and yields.

This is its last week, still no feeding going in, lost most of its fan leaves and when I was away got a bit too dry, Will have to see how it turns out after a propper cure. Should have chopped it a week or two ago, will know better for next time.

Growing this was a real treat, it was a gift seed and I truly enjoyed it. It was a solid grow and did not care what I did to it. The buds are semi dense and extremely popcorny. If I did this indoors I know they would have been even tighter. Had some nanners on the plant after an aggressive LST, be gentle and it will treat you well.

This was a good plant to grow, I had very little issues with it and its tolerance to my torment outside was excellent, close to the end of its life I gave it some aggressive LST that could have been border line M/HST medium/high stress training, this caused it to produce some nanners. This was because of me and if I did not do the aggressive LST I am quite positive this plant would have been gold. Truth be told I'm hoping some seeds come out of this plant as I want to grow it again but the store says its out of stock for about 3+ months now. No seeds as of yet :( The yield I got was the highest of any single auto flower plant to date. Normally I get a bit under or over an oz, this was a 2.27oz or 64.4g. My other auto "separate dairy" in this years grow may top this number in a few days time when its done drying and trimmed but till then, its #1. According to its homepage Humboldt Seeds said to expect between 30-60g per plant outside. I am a big fan of how popcorn the buds are as well. Its a nice chance from the OG Kush style buds I have worked with before, more shape and charter. I saw a video online of a new trimming technique using a silicone brush, they have a brand named purpose built one but I did not want to spend money on it and figured a normal silicone brush would work. low and behold it did, all my buds were trimmed with a basic dollar store silicone pastry brush. Its bristles where not as rigid as the name brand one designed for trimming and thus needed some extra brush strokes, its shape was also a bit different in the sense that the dollar store has circular bristles and the name brand is rectangle in shape. Should I see one at a store up here "Canada" for a reasonable price I'll buy one, but not paying 25 USD for it lol. The fertilizer I used after transplant was called Acti-Sol, it's a Canadian brand of hen manure that is dehydrated & pelletized for easy application. It comes in a bunch of different formulas and I would recommend it mainly for outdoor grows as it can be stinky after the first day of applying but dies down after 24 hrs. Big bonus as well because it is approved as an organic fertilizer if that's your thing. Indoors I'm still going with Gaia Green. Purchased there cannabis lineup called Ucann, will see how well that one works out. Very close to Gaia Greens 4-4-4. This will be for my next indoor grow that may be all clones of my photo strains outside this year :D As always I will have my friends give me a smoke report as I can not smoke myself, when the bud is cured for 3 weeks I will report back then with a more detailed conclusion. Preliminary results from smoking the 10 day dyed cannabis have been good according to my roomie, It is said to be very smooth and not harsh with notes of sweet, woody/earthy and peppery notes, maybe even a hint of vanilla. I did not notice a big cheese smell to the buds, but I feel it will come out in its cure and we will have a better understanding of its profile then. Using a humidity regulating packet keeping the buds at 62% for the 3 week cure. I like them a lot. Cheers m0use

You definitely know what you are doing and have fun. I used the hen poop . Acti sol. If you add some LAB and mix it in your soil a week before transplanting the pellets get dissovled and converted to food by bacteria. No more stank. I'm now using Earth juice and Optimize organic 444 fertilizer. My goal is flavor .
m0use
m0usecommented3 years ago
@TastyBudzz, I do! real easy, I sometimes add in a bit of aged kefir as well. I'm going to be posting a diary on how I do it and make cheese out of it afterwards. You can also take the LAB as a Probiotic.

@m0use,I was having terrible luck with seedlings. Using LAB to soak and germinate seeds gives me healthy results . Did you make your own LAB ? So easy !

Before when I said I had some Acapulco Gold Autos that I got from Barney's I made a mistake it was MJ seeds. Can you do me a favour and see what the pH level is in Toronto tap water my PH metres fucked right now I'm waiting for a new one

@prem895, o yea? When I grow outside my medium is mainly composed of coir/peat and many other things but does not contain top soil or dirt. I also regrow it in year after year so it has aged and has a history, but maybe because I've mixed compost/manure into it I don't have to track PH because its like soil now?? You can use any acid in the water to PH it down. its just how much of it do you need, and some are better quality and last longer plus are better for the soil. I found one web page that listed their water close to 7.4 and how many teaspoons of vinegar or citric acid is needed to get it down, they list PH values from 7 to 4. If I remember correctly it's one teaspoon "5ml" vinegar to 1L of water to get it to 6 or 6.5. Funny enough I did this, this week, as my plants were having issues with iron uptake "I think" and "I believe" the other nutrient "new this year" was alkalizing the medium to much, so lowering the PH to get the iron unlocked worked as far as I can tell, plants are getting greener, I know there is lots of iron in the medium so adding more was not the solution. Never had to do this previously but maybe it will be a new thing if I plan on using that other nutrient long term, will reveal at end of dairy if it helped yields. Could also add in lots of spent coffee, but I'm sure that would change the microbial life a bit, maybe for the better, more reading is needed. what PH meter do you use? also shoppers or any grocery store sells distilled in 4L jugs for around a buck.

prem895commented5 years ago
@m0use, yeah I'm also oilless I'm going pro mix HP mixed in with Pro Mix vegetable and Herb all mixed together so I got to kind of know what my pH is but Toronto is about 7.4roughly so a little bit of vinegar at this point until I can get some distilled water to get this thing proper. I have both packs of buffer powder the only thing is I need some distilled water

Some swollen Calyexs on that bud. Looks awesome. She grew really tall for an auto in veg. Have to get something from HSO

m0usecommented2 years ago
@gottagrowsometime, It was a very tasty strain, I turned it all into butter and liked the high I got from it. chill and relaxed. no paranoia. This strain was discontinued just before the company's EU operation was shutdown, it was from the massive Dinafem shutdown thing, Dinafem managed their EU market, or so they told me this.. Lost some good genetics but still held onto some of the prized ones. Plus they have relaunched their brand, its not the exact same but they have some of their classics still in the catalogue like sapphire and chocolate mint also ghost of NYC. Some nice looking CBD mixes as well with 1:1 and 2:1 ratios too. https://humboldtseeds.org/product-category/cannabis-seeds/

@prem895, If your looking to PM someone, you can use the little paper airplane tab in the bottom right of this web page then enter the user, or click on the growers profile and hit chat now at the top right, it does the same thing. You will get a red notification icon in your browser tab that has grow diaries open vs the green swirl when someone messaged you. then just open the chat window from the bottom right paper airplane tab and your good to go. cheers

Yeah last year was my first year of growing and I grew some Barney's Acapulco Gold auto not too bad three plants one Hermes on me the other two I end up getting about five and a half ounces dried which isn't too bad for my first grow looks like I'm utilizing my green thumb this year
m0use
m0usecommented5 years ago
@prem895, I don't see that as an auto on there page? they do have a normal photoperiod one though, maybe it was not an auto?? ether or, that's a good yield for a first grow. Mine was just under a ounce for some OG Kush a few years back. Then I got 3 oz off one photo. hoping to get abut 5 oz of all future photos at least. well see.

Will you grow these to the end in those, I think 20 l or 5 gal pails? This may help me in my plan.
m0use
m0usecommented5 years ago
@prem895, Hey hey, thanks for liking my dairy. I see your also growing in TO. A+ I will keep all these in the buckets for there entire life, my autos "Humboldt seeds uk cheese n' fastbuds Mexican Airlines" don't like transplanting to much. and the photos this years "Dinafem Orange Juce + Dinafem Cheese" will also stay in there buckets. but they can be transplanted with ease if needed, but not in flower state. I used to use 5Gal pail like the ones you use, I just found the smaller 3Gal square pails worked better for my space. granted the bigger the bucket the bigger the plant normally. just gotta feed em right. I reuse my soil year after year so i tend to stay away from the synthetic nutes, best to use organic nutrients to avoid any salt buildup and keep the soil microbes happy :) best of luck with your grow.
