Sorry about the way this is being posted. I started the dairy at week 3 but decided to put the images and information correctly from the actual start.
I have put the strain as Quebec Cannabis Seed (QCS) Grand Daddy Purple as the actual strain is called Quebec Blue. A 50/50 indica/sativa hybrid that was bred by crossing Blue Fire with the elite Grand Daddy Purple clone.
Transplanted the twins into their final home. A 5 gallon soft pot. Still looking good and getting bigger each day. use a soft covered wire bent into a staple shape to try and get the twins away from each other. Growing so fast and strong they pull the wires out by days end. 😏
Week 3 with the twins. Still using AN pH Perfect Sensi Grow A/B and added B-52. Going to have to starting FST with ties downs . The two 'staples' I used to separate the twins are not holding as I wished.
Has anyone grew a Polyembryonic (twins) to harvest. All the info I find online show the start and comments of surprise. Then mention killing off the weak one or separating them right after the seedling starts. I would love to see/read a grow with both sides growing to harvest.
Hey , yeah i had a twin also, free plant right? well mine died randomly about 3/4 of the way in and a few weeks before harvest... in the end it took up space. i'm not going to try that again , at least not in the same way, but power to you if you're doing it. One thing i would do is seperate them in different pots though : roots fight for nutrients . yours dont really seem too bothered yet, though. Let's see what happens ! 🚀
Starting week 4, the twins are low and wide. 4 nodes now, will top at 5. Added B-52 to the mix. Using Advanced Nutrients Hobby growing schedule. There are two other plants in the tent. One Quebec Cannabis Seed Strawberry that has been topped (6 inches tall now) and one Quebec Cannabis Seed Blueberry that is a 10 days behind due to the first seed not germinating correctly. So the twins have company.
End of week 4 and so much growth! 😀
Started week 5. Temp dropped outside and unfortunately the room I have to use gets cooler than other rooms. Added a small heater to push warmer air into tent. Humidity will drop, I will have to watch that closely as well. Temp in tent back to 24c and humidity at 44.
Day 3 of Week 5 and the power company decides to do maintenance on a cold rainy Sunday!?! No power for 8 hours. Temp dropped to 18c. I have two power-packs for charging cell phones that actually had led flashlights built in. Hung them in the tent and they lasted the whole power outage. Not strong light but light. Without the fan/filter running the smell got very strong.
Day 4 of week 5. Added a small cool mist humidifier to the tent and a oil filled heater to the room the tent is in. Hopefully that will help with heat and dryness in middle of winter.
Day 5 week 5. Nute burn! I had just added B-52 to the mix. I used Advanced Nutrients own website nutrient calculator for this schedule that shows using B-52 from week 1/. HOWEVER the chart posted by Advanced Nutrients here on their own GrowDaddy pages shows not using B-52 until 2 weeks into flowering... which is it? Advance should clarify. I will stop using B-52 until flowering.
Advance Nutrients answer please. I used AdvN website nutrient calc for the hobbyist feeding sched. It shows using B-52 from week 1 til flowering then stop 2 weeks and restart. Oddly AdvN's own Growdaddy page has a chart showing B-52 waiting until flowering!
I now have nute burn.
I use b52 all the week into flowering and grow except when I give the microbes. I have the nuts burn because u should use 1/2 maximum of all nutrient lineup! If your tap water comes with high residue you should drop yet to 1/4 to 1/2 👌🏼 Hope to solve your question, if u have other doubt tells us. And sorry for my bad english maybe✌️🏽😂🙈
Well Day 1 of Week 6 started well. I was LST'ing the two main branches of the strawberry that grows beside the Twins and I spilt it like a wish boned.
Lucky I had read enough Grow diaries here to know not to panic. I grabbed a wire tie and secured the broken branch back in place. She has not shown any signs of stress, however it is only been 12 hrs.
Stopped using B-52 as the Advanced Nutrients feeding calculator showed using it from week 3 of Veg. Yet the chart in Grow Diaries showed showed using it Starting the 2nd week of Flower. Using the website calculator caused nute burn. I will re-add B-52 when the flowering state starts.
Day 2 week 6. Humidifier is working overtime. Will have to be replaced with a larger unit. it is on full and maintaining just over 40%. The winter dry air has yet to kick in...
Defoliated the larger fan leaves on all plants. Hope I did not take too much off.
Day 4 week 6. Swapped out the small humidifier with a better unit. Has great reviews by grow tents users on amazon. Humidity range now at 50%.
Edges of a few leaves are getting lighter. I stopped using B-52 due to nute burn, so only using A/N - pH Perfect Sensi Grow Part A/B at 1/2 strength and well water. The water is a hard water, I have no RO. Missing a nute or too much?
Day 1 week 7. Smell getting stronger. Defoliated a 2nd time. Those leaves grew back so fast and large.
Day 2 week 7. Decided to add the B-52 back into the mix after looking at other diaries. Abit 1/4 strength.
Day 3 week 7. Made a noobie mistake at the start. Start 3 plants in the grow tent. When the Quebec Blue (Blue Fire x Grand Daddy Purple} dropped twins I suddenly had 4 plants. Even the original 3 would be tight in the 2.5x2.5 tent. ScrOGing is becoming interesting.
Day 4 week 7. Checking the stems and found a extra shoot growing up between the Twins! Triplets or just an extra shoot popping up? Should I remove it or see if it starts to flower?
Day 6 week 7. Cleaned up all the little leaves at the bottom and extra shoots. Running out of room so next week may/will/should be the last week of veg. Other then that Sofia and Claudia are looking amazing.
Extra shoots coming from the roots/stems of the plants. The Quebec Blue started out as a set of Twins. Now there is a couple extra stem/shoots coming up BETWEEN the two main plants stems. The picture shows one of them. Is this natural? Let grow or remove?
thats kind of neat, never think i seen that but she is a mutant from the start, i would remove these since you want you focus of the plants energy to move up wards, these are starting from
the bottom as well as the leaves are touching the soil. this is where your grow can go wrong and and leaves that touch the top of the soil is no good. remove them with snips or scissors that were cleaned with rubbing alcohol before cutting. your plant looks real healthy so you would want to keep it that way. it is safe to remove the extra shoots. happy growing
Day 1 week 8. I am hoping to flip the girls to 12-12 flower next week. I would have like more growth however the tent is getting full and ScrOG/LST is getting harder. With the other two plants they are starting to crowd each other.
Day 2 week 8. Before feeding the RH was 50-55%. After feeding to jumped to 75%. Actually hoping for colder outside temps to cause the furnace to come on and make the air dry! Will have to watch the RH closely.
Day 4 week 8. Sofia and Claudia are getting full bodied again. May have to remove some leaf coverage before switching to Flower.
Day 6 week 8. Started to pull back on the lights by 1.5 hrs a day until it hits 12-12. All plants seem to be stretching. RH is staying 70-80% after feeding. Left bottom of tent door unzipped to help dryer air enter.
It is Flower time.
Day 1 week 9. First day at 12-12. The girls will flower. Changed the lights over a 4 day period. Changed the nutrients to Bloom and Voodoo. Hope I have enough room height wise.
Day 4 week 9. The girls are not as thirsty as I would have expected. And the twins seem shy, as fast as I tuck and trim they fill out and cover themselves..
Day 6 week 9. Removed as much of the under growth as I dared. Easier to see Sofia and Claudia's legs. Hoping to see some sign of flowering next week.
Day 1 Week 10. Added AN Big Bud to the feeding as per Advanced Nutrients feeding calculator. Still fighting to keep the stretch under control. And the RH is hitting 80% leaving the door partially unzipped. Ordered a small Dehumidifier to help. Changed the cover picture in celebration of an election.
Day 3 week 10. Added a dehumidifier to help bring the RH inline. Sofia and Claudia are starting to show their flowers. Happy girls make happy grower.
Day 5 week 10. Each morning a defoliation, and the next day grown in again. The girls have grown enough to see where they are joined from their single seed.
Day 1 week 11. Removing the Voodoo juice and adding B-52 again, I put the girls on their main diet for the next few weeks. Hope they like it. Still struggling with defoliation and space limitations. As fast as I pull they grow. 😜
Day 7 week 11. Not to report. Not growing as fast now and flowers are getting bigger. Just getting nicer to look at day by day. Is it normal just to sit and stare at the sexy twins? Better than tv.
Day 1 week 12. Has it been that long? Wow. Nothing dramatic yet. The twins seem to like the new feeding recipe. Drinking a bit more now that they are flowering and winter is here so the air is drier.
Day 4 week 12. Starting to see frost. and even some amber on the top of the bud sites. hope it is natural and not premature aging.
Day 1 week 13. The girls are getting frosty, growth seems to have stopped. I could defoliate however with the scrog and tent being full I am afraid trying to get the back might break the buds.
Day 6 week 13. Noticed the very tips of the leaves showing nute burn. I went up to full strength of the AN Bloom A/B. Will go back to half again. Other than that the girls look a little heavier and the smell is getting stronger.
Day 1 week 14. The lady's buds are getting bigger. Still small but bigger. The smell of candy now overtaking the regular smell.
Day 5 week 14. Well there seems to be a problem. Added A/N Overdrive as their feeding chart showed. With the 2nd feeding massive copper discoloration over night.
Added Advanced Nutrients Overdrive and removed Big Bud. Three days later after the second feeding leaf ends curled and some have large coper looking discoloration. I am a week or two away from flushing. Do I stay the course or flush now?
Hi mate, its normal imo for this to happen. The big leaves should die as the plant is close to harvest. I checked bit your diary, did u use the whole product series of advanced nutrients?
Not much to say. Just ended the week with the mix of Advanced Nutrients and will start the last week with a flawless flush.
Looking to harvest New years day.
As my first grow I found I added too many plants in the tent and cause the girls to be smaller than they could have been. Other than that the Quebec Blue twins grew easily and smelled amazing.
