Starting seeds today 5/25 Memorial Day . The plan is to germinate seeds In rock wool in solo cups with Saran Wrap over the top. I placed them on top of the dishwasher and used 5 droppers of 6.4ph water on the seeds. I will check on them daily.
Seeds have all popped. First the NL day 3, Pineapple Express and expert haze day 4, blue dream day 6, and sour diesel day 7. Plants are in rock wool with a little bit of water at the bottom of the solo cups. They are placed inside a 7” Super Sprouter until I am ready for the super soil and fabric pots. I will probably put them in the soil this week because they seem to be stretching for light.
Today is a sad day. There was a quick rain storm that fell on the plants the second day of out door training. Two of the five were effected by the large rain drops. The northern lights was knocked over but managed to recover. The sour diesel was not so lucky and is intensive care in the grow tent right now. If she doesn’t come back to life tomorrow I will plant a new sour d. The sour diesel that isnt doing well was the runt of the bunch, I think I put to much rock wool over the hole in the starter which delayed the plant from getting to the light and I think it started to rot. I didn’t have the roots yet and I rushed it along with the others when I should have kept it inside a couple more days.the other four seem healthy and happy outside I just have to keep my eye on the weather more.
It was a cool week with no rain and everyone looks happy. I started a new sour diesel and she already has cotyledons I can’t wait to get her outside with the rest of the pack.
this Week has been hot 85-93 days 65-75 at night. The girls got regular watering except for the 1 rain storm which hurt the blue dream so I put her under the eve of the porch for protection but she is still a little crooked and I am not sure what to do. I moved the sour diesel outside under the eve as well because she started stretching in the window. Yesterday I applied a mix of exile spray because I have seen some red banded leaf hoppers on some of my older plants.
We’ve had consistent high temperatures and drought like weather the blue dream has been stunted from the previous rain storm.the rain started again yesterday thunderstorms so all the girls are under the glass table While I am at work for protection. I also started low stress training on the bigger plants.
I saw small bugs on the blue dream and need to spray 2 times a week instead of one at this point. We can really feel the summer heat now. I put the expert haze into a 7 gallon pot for a greater yield and it is a photo period. Sour diesel is now starting to flower. I use thermostat wire for Lst because I have rolls of it. No nutrients.
All the hard work is starting to pay off as the buds are starting to show. This week I am noticing a slight smell and hope the neighbors don’t mind. Since my last pesticide I haven’t noticed anymore bugs. I also picked up a watering wand with a mister dial and think that is helping the bugs.
I got some companion plants this week at the store lavander, sweet basil and peppermint. Buds are starting to come in and fatten. Blue dream smells amazing as well as Pineapple Express. I top dressed all plants with a little more sohum soil I had. I’m going to take a cutting from the haze and start that in the dome some time this week. The plants are in for the night because if a hurricane but I think the pictures are better, however because the got moved around I broke a limb on the Pineapple Express and hope it will get better. I held it up and together with wire and used a cloths hanger to hold the branch together.
This week we are ready to bring the Pineapple Express and blue dream inside for a dark period for chopping. The sour diesel and northern lights should be ready next week. Expert haze is pre flowering and the clone is showing small roots.
Sour diesel and northern lights are ready to be chopped. I will put them in the basement in the dark for at least a day before I cut them down. The clone from the expert haze had to be tossed because I found spider mites on it and then found them on my expert haze plant outdoors. I shouldn’t have brought the clone inside, oops I will not be making another clone of this plant. I have found caterpillars all over everything and didn’t want to spray the buds with pesticides so every day a couple of times a day I would remove them. They eat a lot so I don’t have as much production at harvest. I will be more aggressive with the expert haze with pest control.
