10 crystal candy placed in a bottle of room temperature mineral water they took 72hours to crack open. They literally were just open at this stage and had no root as such. People have different ideas about starting them off and I have tried peat pellets, rock wool and planting them straight into coco. I like planting them straight into coco and this is what I did. They don’t grow overly tall from what I have seen and heard and that is why a smaller fabric pot was method of choice. They were started off in VEG mode only of a WAKYME - LED. A couple of the seedlings have since shot up and a couple have started to fall over. I have placed some pipe cleaners to stable them whilst they pack on some weight. I am watering them once a day merely keeping the coco damp. I am feeding canna rhizo, part A and part B every other day. In between for now I am just using water PH’d to between 5.8 and 6.2. This will allow nutrients that are absorbed at a different PH to be effectively absorbed. A small dehumidifier is placed in the tent just balancing out the humidity. **this dehumidifier is pointless in the mature stages of the plants life for anyone buying one. But is ok for the first 2-2.5 weeks***

Nothing really changed this week. - Height and width are filling out nicely - minor LST has been done - nutrient levels increased slightly - I have introduced a longer delay in watering them Looking forward to flower which shouldn’t be too far away

X10 crystal candy have gone into flower day 27-28 from seed. Based on diaries and information I have seen it should be another 28-35 days of flower before harvest 9weeks is what I have seen. I have noticed this particular strain is very thirsty compared with the others I have grown. I have Heavily defoliated it now it has moved into flower as this worked really well in the past it should help keeping the humidity down and should hopefully send all its energy into flowering(I have left the important leaves on it) I had a good smell of the leaves bunched up and it really does have a sweet smell to it (and that’s with no buds) I have introduced boost accelerator this week approx 2.5ml per litre. I have stopped completely rhizotonic now it’s starting flower

Plants are looking really well, bushing out nicely and bud sight stems are stretching to reach the top of what is similar to an SOG tent. I have upped the nutrients slightly now that they are well into flower and I am watering twice daily, approx 500ml per time Morning - nutrients feed Evening - ph’d water only

Another easy week gone. Nothing much to report, buds are sizing up nicely and smelling really sweet. I will be moving onto feeding them water only over the next week or so and will remain on water until the chop. However they are not ready but 3weeks or so and we should be somewhere near

Nearly there now on 50% of them. Some of the others will have an extra week or so. Only used water this week, and will be continuing to do so for the next week. Some of the plants have buds well distributed across the plant. Some have large missile shaped main colas with little elsewhere. Been great to grow so far. I do have 4 seeds left from this batch and will definitely grow it again I will keep you updated next week 👌
