I’m a bit late to start but here is week one of the wonder pie grow for the greenhouse seeds company grow competition, I’ll be using the nutes that they sent as well as some of my own, medium is canna coco with perlite with 1/2 ratio it was meant to be 1/1 but i didn’t make to to the shop in time. They will be started in 1 gal fabric pots and transplanted to 5 gal. Germinated using paper towel method and all seeds were sterilised with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Out of 9 seeds 7 made it into pots and 7 out of 7 have broken soil, I will be selecting the 4 best to transplant and then start the trellis net. Happy growing :)
Week one was a breeze, there is already four stand outs but we’ll see what this week brings. Day 10 edit, some are catching up to the others now. Day 12 edit: some of them have caught up the past couple day, I’d say only one is lagging behind now
All the girls are looking good, the biggest one showing the most growth was one of the smaller ones at the start. I’ve been have issues with my light and will be switching to a 500 watt led for a few days until my new lamp arrives. I noticed a little bit of a smell at day 18
I’ve selected the four that I’ll be using for my grow, these four were selected for their growth rate, leaf structure and plant structure. They have been transplanted into 5 gal pots and had the blumat drippers installed
This week I have done some LST to the bigger 2 plants and will some n do the other 2 and put a trellis net in. Man I have never seen leaves so fat haha
One of the drippers stopped working this week and after I fixed it, I forgot to set it again and they dripped all through the tent, lucky I realised before it got too bad. One girl has shown sex at day 7
The girls have all shown sex now and are starting to smell dank, smell definitely leans more towards the OG Kush side; and judging by the fat fans leaves I’d say the grow more towards that side too
Smell is really getting noticeable now, it smells a lot like og kush, plenty of stretching and pistil development, I really like how they look like flowers from above at this stage
Stretching has stopped and the buds are starting to grow, some days doubling in size, the smell is really strong now and I know it’ll get stronger, smell is really hashie and earthy
Not as frosty as I was hoping for, maybe they will be late trichome developers.
Day 76 edit: the smell is really strong now, I got my nose really close to one and got a strong lemon candy smell. The bud have been swelling like crazy, some days nearly doubling in size
This week we got one the that is starting to fade, the buds are still swelling, i had a bit of a problem with my drippers early on in the week, I caught it early so no harm done. I checked the trichomes with a microscope this week, mostly clear, some cloudy and the odd amber.
Lots of fading going on this week, however I’m unfortunately going to have have to chop early(not related to the competition but it works out). I checked the trichomes one last time and there was only the odd clear so I might get away with it, also I probably shouldn’t have went to 1300 ppm the tips started to burn on some of them.
