Sélection Féminisées #1 + autoflo

Celesto All the seeds germinated in 3 days except for the London Cheese, only one seed germinated properly; so I replaced the two L.Cheese with a Txomango and a Txerri Bilbo Haze from Genehtik on day 5. The London Cheese has a very light canopy heart, I don't know why. Visible on day 5. The temperature outside is still very high, not allowing it to drop below 29.5°C. Moistening the walls of the box with a pressure sprayer. 65-70% Relative Humidity. 21 plants in growth.

Celesto The second week is starting off well, good temperature and good relative humidity. The canopy is developing. By the end of the week, there was a lot of rain, and the temperature dropped quite a bit. I did one watering with Humic Fulvic this week instead of Root Juice. The Gelato #33 is sturdier than the others and responds quickly to LST. The Sweet zz also reacts very quickly to LST.

Celesto All the plants respond well to FIM, they thicken harmoniously. On day 19, I did LST and FIM on all the plants in the box, except for Txerri Bilbo Haze and Txomango because I still find them a bit small for LST, but I still FIMmed them!! On the 19th day, pistils appear on the Sweet ZZ auto, starting very early in flowering. It's off to 6 weeks of flowering for them. I will adjust the LST on the branches during the first weeks of flowering. On day 20, I removed 2-3 leaves from each plant to make a little room for the light.

Celesto I started the week by adjusting the LST. I notice that the Gelato #33 and Sour Diesel have nice robust growth and a bit faster. Labeling the numbers on the plants for mother plant selection. On day 27, I folded the LST forward on some plants (see photos), and also abandoned a few and let the plants stand up naturally; I will do LST on the branches when they are bigger. I will take the clones next week.

Celesto I'm spending this week at 14 hours of light to prepare the plants for flowering in week 6. On day 32, I took cuttings of Sour Diesel, Gelato #33, London Cheese, Txerri Bilbo Haze, and Master Kush. 2 clones taken from each plant, always from the two lowest branches. I place them in water for 24 hours with the pH adjusted to 6 and mixed with rooting hormone at 2ml/L. The Sweet ZZ have started their flowering well. Low odor in the box.

Celesto Starting the week by tweaking the LST a bit. I did a light defoliation to clear the flowering sites. I'm switching to flowering mode: 12h/24h of light. I ordered 4 LED Panels 50W (1500w) to replace the 4 COB 60w (300w). I can't wait to install them. The 4 COBs will be placed in my other GrowBox. They will replace 2 LED Panels 25W (150w).

Celesto Finally installed the 1500w Chinese panels, still an average of 43000 Lumens at the canopy level. The 5 panels produce 1500W output and about 50w/panel consumption. Consumption: 250W, Output: 7500W Day 48 Defoliation.

Celesto Day 53, the plants have recovered from the defoliation, the females are blooming peacefully, the Sweet ZZ is starting to smell strong. Day 56, the flowers are full of thick white hairs :-). The Master Kush (2 & 4), the Sour Diesel (3), and the Gelato #33 (1 & 3) have thicker white hairs and already thicker buds than the others. J+56, Flo+21, the flowers still don’t have any smell other than chlorophyll.

Celesto -I cut a Sweet ZZ auto, the Sweet ZZ *1, 15G wet for 3.5G dry 😭 too eager to smoke. -The buds are starting to grow and smell. They look great, I'm happy because given their small size I was worried about the appearance of the buds, but when I see those of Gelato #33, Sour Diesel, and Master Kush 🤔 I'm reassured 😁 I really think that the defoliation at the beginning of flowering helped the buds 🤗 I was worried seeing them all bare. Small plants but packed with heads 😋 Can't wait for each following week. -The smell of Gelato #33 is quite captivating and strongly smells like a pine forest. -The smell of London Cheese isn't pronounced yet, but it's on the right track. -The smell of Sour Diesel is quite acidic but not really Diesel yet. -The smell of Txerri Bilbo Haze has a slight sweet scent with a smell somewhat similar to the taste when you put your tongue on a magnet or the blade of a pencil sharpener, surely what we call a metallic smell. -The smell of Txomango doesn't really smell like resin yet, mostly a chlorophyll scent. -The smell of Master Kush, sweeter, has a hint of pine forest softened by a slight autumn moss scent. The Sweet ZZ auto doesn't smell like Skittles candies but has a peppery orange scent. And much stronger because being an auto, it's much further along.

Celesto I did another defoliation as advised. I hope I didn't go too heavy-handed. Otherwise, the flowers are beautiful and starting to smell a very strong and distinct scent by variety. There's a slight appearance of powdery mildew on the Master Kush, which doesn't surprise me when I touch its already very hard flowers. I reluctantly but necessarily did a treatment with Bordeaux mixture spray. I bought a space heater because the temperature drops more quickly at night.

Celesto Disappointed with my result. The first time I had big buds, but this time it's ridiculous, though the taste is still superb and for two phenotypes, you really get that Skittles and citrus aroma. The effect is considered quite high but well balanced between Indica and Sativa. Next time, bigger pots, light about 70cm away during growth instead of 40cm. Watering with LEDs is 1 to 2 times maximum during growth and up to 3 times a week during Flowering.

Celesto I'm starting the flush with clear water for two weeks. The buds are small but super hard, and they smell really strong, especially the Sour Diesel with its strong citrus scent, the Gelato #33 with a very floral aroma, the Master Kush that smells like damp underbrush, the London Cheese 2.0 that smells like gouda or mimolette, the Txomango that has a sweet melon scent, and the Txerri Bilbo Haze that has a strong pine forest smell. All these wonderful aromas blend together. I've set up a small space heater that I run for 1 hour during the day and 1 hour in the evening, which enhances their smell and resin even more.

Celesto Not much to say because I missed the growth under LEDs, it was my first time under LEDs. For a first experience, I'm a bit disappointed, but I recognize my newbie mistakes. I'm not giving up because LEDs consume less than sodium, and for the same consumption as with a 600w, I can add 3 more boxes, enough to try out several different growing experiments. 😏🤫

Celesto This strain is really very beautiful, the buds are dense and have a really nice appearance. Really very, very resinous and a rather light green. The buds don't have any citrus smell at all, it really has a cream scent with hints of pine. Truly a unique aroma. The smoke is thick and doesn't scratch the throat but takes its place in the mouth. A strain to recommend!!

Celesto Sour orange smell, really nice to smoke with a big joint. The effect is mixed between indica and sativa. Helps to relax but not to sleep. Recommended for stress and anxiety.
