Hi and welcome to my grow.
Thank you.
Please allow me to introduce :
Cuckoo Punch (Barney's Farm Cookies Peyote) &
Bobbi Bud (Barney's Farm Blueberry OG).
Seeds placed into two cotton pads with ph balanced water. Stored in a dark, warm aired cupboard.
Week 2 : some big changes, new setup arriving in bits and pieces, lets hope all arrives smoothly.
pH of solution in rockwool bowl - 6.2
No light was added until green began appearing from leaves, and then seedlings were introduced to sunlight for small periods in the day.
Planting into the setup will happen this week.
Lights running 24hours when they are ready.
This week will be a fully operating setup with some light nutrients added. Water pump runs for one hour a day 15:00 - 16:00 , this will change in coming weeks.
Light are running 18 hours on, 6 hours off.
Some heavy leaf development early in this stage. Doubling in size. Height we need to watch as they aren't stretching as much as I'd like but that could be due to developments on the root structure.
Extract will be added Day 22 - PM to help with that development, this will be a light dose, increasing towards harvest. 80ml in the 80l solution.
Lights are lowered by 10 cm, to add a concentrated amount, while allowing her plenty space to stretch.
Day 27 posed a new challenge, Leaf development was twisted/crinkled and dark, researched into this and it may be the pH , or nutrients too early, so fan lowered and pH increased by 0.5-1.0.
Day 29 - Cuckoo was showing poor signs of pH illness, so raised the pH from 5.5 - 6.0
Day 30 - Examination of manifolding
Day 31 - Water and nutrients added - pumps 12hours to circulate.
Day 32 Late PM - Manifolded, felt she was tall enough, examined the joins and found Blueberry OG had incredible structure on the 2nd node, so cut from developing 7th node to the 2nd. Peyote Cookies topped from 6th node to 3rd as standard.
Day 36 - BB OG 2nd part of Nebula and topped againl
Day 36 - Bending of both U-Bends has begun.
Day 36 - New pH tool and solution temperature meter.
Day 37 - Bobbi Last extreme trim until Harvest. Light fan leave trimming long the way.
Day 40 - Cuckoo Punch got her second topping in the Nebula Technique. Bobbi good.
Day 41 - New Nutrients and Tub clean out, still water, Changed fan positioning, lifted LED 's slightly. New holes drilled into top and bottom of 15l rectangles.
Day 43 - Tub cleaned and new water pH 5.3.
Day 44 - No nutrients yet, LST introduced to Bobbi, will start flattening her.
Day 45 - Both plants look to be healthier, and will nutrients this evening.
Day 45 - Noticed a crack in the stem of CP. Traced to Day 42/43.
Day 47 Humidifier was added and instant result with humidity at 70%
Day 48 - Saw rapid growth from trimming and nutrient change.
Day 49 - Bobbi readjusted LST, & Trimmed leaves CP introduced to LST.
Day 50 : Plants look a bit stressed. Last week of vegetation depending on how they recover.
Day 51 : Saw tightening of LST and inspection.
Day 52 : pH will be lowered as its currently 6.3, Lowered to 5.3.
Day 53 : pH lowered to 6, ppm is around 850. Lowered Lights by 5 cm and Tightened Bobbi's LST, and trimmed a few lower leaves, CP got trimmed as well. LED Bloom switch added, so VEG LED Switch : ON , BLOOM LED Switch : ON (Transition period, followed by 72 hours of dark, then BLOOM LED Switch : ON , VEG : OFF. 12 hours cycle.
Day 56 - LST adjustments, trimmings, blooming nutz and LED Bloom on.
Nebula Technique , and I have created the 8 kola's and began spreading the branches via LST. Should I cut off new stems branching from 8 kola's, which add to the canopy ? and keep just 8 main stems which buds can form? or side branches which receive good light and canopy cut?
I would keep those new stems since they'll be buds spots soon. But be careful to adjust your LST everyday in order to get a better light penetration. Good luck with these future monsters!
Day 57 - Black out. Bloom Nutrients added with minimal Guano & a trim with more intense LST.
Day 58 - Blackout
Day 59 - LED Switched on to BLOOM. LST readjusted.
Day 60 - Bloom Switch on, VEG Switch Off - Interlude of light.
Day 61 - Left to recover.
Day 62 - Left to recover.
Day 63 - new nutrients and lst added(tightened), LED's lifted by 5cm, trimmed fan lefts and lower parts of stems.
Day 66 : Bobbi requires a trim and new LST Branches to Central stems. Cuckoo looks flat and great!
Day 70 : CP gets a trim, nutrients topped up, and pH a bit on the higher side - 6.5. Raised the lights for both by about 10cm
Day 71 : Cuckoo is maintaining her flat canopy, and Bobbi is thickening beautifully.
Day 72 : Bobbi Bud and Cuckoo Punch seems to be loving the conditions, massive growth spurt. CP is stretching quite a bit. pH down again to 6.1
Day 73 : The tent is a bit over-crowded and both CP and BB is in need of some serious TLC. The buds are looking healthy and are thickening nicely.
Day 75 : Bobbi received a much needed haircut and trim to the skirt. CP requires some tidying up too. Both plants looking healthy and buds thickening nicely.
Day 76 : Girls are looking happy and enjoying the climate.
Day 77 : Trimming, nutrients, water - plants looking happy and buds getting much denser
Day 78 : Both plants adjusting nicely to the nutrients and recovering after their trim
Day 79 : Plants recovered well, pH stable.
Day 84 : 13/05/2018 | Nutrients increased; Bloom, Guano, and Pk Boost topped up. pH stable at around 5.8
Day 85 : pH balanced out at 6.2; water perfect, humidity increased to 65%
The last week of nutrients, Bobbi Bud looking healthy and Cuckoo Punch showing a bit of a sensitive side again..
Day 88: Microscope time! Inspection of the trichomes have begun. Nutrients added for the last time before flushing starts, lights raised to maximum height.
Day 91: Time to start the flushing. Water emptied, bucket cleaned and fresh water added/ pH down to 5.5
First week of flushing, no nutrients in water, and pH stable at around 6.2
Buds are thickening up and plants are looking well.
Day 96 : Another bucket of water added as the ladies are thirsty. Clear signs of the left-over nutrients being consumed by both, harvesting will happen soon. pH down to 5.5; humidity up to 77%.
Great dense buds, with a lovely aroma. Grinding is amazing to see the amount you get and smells very sweet. Smoke is a bit harsh on the throat but leaves a lasting taste of sweetness.
Great tasting and only maturing with age in the cure zone. Very tasty and orgasmic smell. Smooth smoke with a lovely plume of smoke. Hard to grow but well worth the smoke if cured with patience.
