Day 0. Seeds for 24 hours in water ( water was kept for 48 hours to vaporise out all crap ) . No ph up or down used, while you soak seeds ph is irrelevant.
One more time Thank You #SweetSeeds for new adventure !
Pots are filled. I put like 5% lair of clay stones, later 80 % mix of BioBizz AllMix soil + extras(5-10 % worm castings and table spoon of epsom salt), last lair of 15% is pure soil, she is rich already and for young roots my extras could be too much.
Planting soon. Straight after 24 hours of soaking to soil.
Frost fleece as humidity dome.
4x Sweet Cheese
4x Sweet Skunk
2x Killer Kush
Target - 100 g / plant
5 - 6 weeks of veg.
Lst, defoliation, maybe toping.
Hope 20 hours of light will be enough to stretch veg stage ...
Let's see ...
Day 3. After 28 hours all 4 Cheeses was out.
After 72 hours, last from 4 Skunk pop out.
So Cheeses will start first, very fast seeds, loved theirs rate. Skunk on average patern, Kushes behind ...
One Killer Kush started upside down,replanted her, other still somewhere
...
Hopefully both Kushes shows up, otherwise i still have two beans of them, fingers crossed. Till then :
Moist !!! Moist !!!
Moist !!! Moist !!!
Moist !!! Moist !!!
Moist !!! Moist !!!
Moist !!! Moist !!!
Day 4. Had no patience to wait more and dropped last two Killer Kush into soil. If both seeds will make it at the end, will throw weaker out ...
Other girls are just fine . By seeds Killers where biggest, but one went coocooo and started to grow root up, replanted yesterday, but she didn't pop up yet, other seed just didn't showed up at all.
Happy Growing !!! Maybe do like me ;))))
Day 9. Girls are okish, but i work this week everyday and my moisturing schedule is hurt by it ...
Both replanted Kushes are out. My cam is still broken, no closeups, but they look just perfect. Upsidedown girl showed up aswel, but think she will go out.
Nothing special, first food offered, frost fleece taken off from 8 earlier girls. Kushes still need protection from intense light.
Day 11. Girls start to fly, will reposition center pots with sides tomorrow, Kushes are very small still and missing some light.
Lamps output increased from 40 to 50%. Every week +10%, till it will reach max.
Night shift pattern starts, so i will be returning for end of the day and leaving in early girls morning, two moisturise sessions in not enough, but what a man can do ...
Hopefully next monday or tuesday first training session ..
Day 12. Girls are flying, i think i need to buy less powerfull sprayer, still makes damage to leaves, easy to spot on Cheese close ups ..
Happy Growing !!!
Day 15. All girls will get either first or second feed. Upside down Kush was left in original pot, newwaver Kush was ripped with fingers from soil and transplanted to new pot, never will i have two plants in same pot ever again !!! And just couldn't throw out one ;)))
Kushes got middle of the tent, think i will top them only, it will be too bushy with 11 heavily LST'ed plants.
Think day 18 - first training day for 8 girls ;)
Day 16. Girls are loving life - thats fact !. Now i have to rethink LST plan, thought to train them on day 18, but they grow so compact, that i have two options :
A. Top them on 5 or 6 nod and train from there.
B. Lift lights and induce vertical grow. But its such a tricky move, usually they repeate that overstreched patern even if you bombard them with light after ...
C. Postpone LST to day 24-26. Never i did it so late, stem becomes very stiff, hard to bend her heavily ...
Next few days will show ...
Day 18. Girls are real beauty, they started to strech a bit, will give couple more days and will train them hard on monday.
Day 20. Dice was rolled !!!
LST !!! Girls are very compact, will be fun to veg them will have to plan well how to flatten up them.
Kushes are behind, but i had to keep tent as dry as possible, need plants dry, otherwise stems crack from such heavy training. Put couple soft wires to lift leaves from soil ..
Pure ph water and loads of spray now !!!
Next few days will show ...
Happy growing !!!
Day 22. Girls loved LST and now its absolute single bush ;)))
Hope they will start stretching a bit otherwise i will have soccer ball size one nugs instead of plant ;)))
In plans new wave of heavy training on thursday and feed.
Ordered new fans, old ones tend to die in a year of heavy work, theirs speed reduces a lot ...
Morning / evening showers and thats all my attention...
Can't tuck leaves, can't spread them yet, but hopefully next week all pot space will be taken.
Kushes are behind, they will be fimed or toped.
My LST style allows new branches to stretch up a bit and on second day i release leaves from prison, despite being lifted from soil, they touch each other and sweat, that brings static moist - highway to mold problems. But on first LST training i touch, bend them a lot, target to free up and expose all branches to light, at this time main top usually lowest. Wash your hands and do it before watering .
If you need you can twist stem left or right, to find best position for easy tucking, if you can't - sometimes view leaves has to fall ...
Day 24. Heavy training straight before night, hope to make everything :
1. New floor fans
2. New air fans
3. Heavy wave of LST and pot management
4. Watering.
All done !
Had no time to make photos, but girls got tie supports around pots, loads of tucking, few soft wires and loads of showers, they will be fed tomorrow ..
Don't forget its day 20-22 from first sign of life, both main strains grow amazing and super compact.
Kushes a bit struggling, they didn't enjoy 6.0 watering and i think light and humidity is way of range for younger plants... plus sensitive to nutes ? But they fight and grow, will have to top them next week.
Day 25. I know sometimes it happens, but one of Cheeses was too fat and thick and snaped during night after heavy LST session. First time in my life, once i snaped myself, now pressure did the thing ...
Day 30. Work took me totally away from growing, have no time, just water them and spray twice a day. Tomorrow should be next LST training done. Will upload how they bushed out.
Happy growing !!!
@russrahl , if you would look at photo - its a totally snaped plant.
Like half answers here, it was given without looking whats happend. Trophy hunter syndrome ...
Day 29. Heavy work in progress, update will follow...
Day 30. Job done, most lost almost all big fan leaves, all 3 Kushes where toped.
In plans one more heavy training session in a week time, few days to recover and hopefully flower !!!
Skunks overgrew Cheeses and start to smell, really to STINK ;)) And i love it !!!
Next watering - full feed.
Day 31. All Kushes have mini mag deficiency, but i get it with my lights often and know how to fight in early stages.
All girls will get 3 feeds in a row.
1. CalMag only
2. Silica acid only
3. Full range of Biobizz feed.
After installing new air fans, have to water girls almost every day. Try to feed them only once a week, but pot space taken in full by most of the girls and its time for first mini boost.
Day 34. Girls got really heavy defoliation, HST , toping and LST session.
First time in my life i trim toped plants so much, but they where reaching sky and stems too fragile for supercroping yet, i do it on branches, but not on mains. So i guess they will slow down a bit ;)))
All girls got silica acid after.
Happy Growing !
Day 36. Girls are flying !!!
Was comparing my previous dairies here and they look really good, have in mind, two heavy waves of training involved, each time i had a bag full of leaves ...
One more training and i think on day 42 its 24 hours of darkness and FLOWEEEEERRRR ;))
Day 37. Its hard to add anything, because everything going kind off well ;))))
Last night watered them with 6.2 ph, they stop drinking, at least as fast as before, usually my ph is 6.5-6.8, but sometimes i drop to 6.2-6.4 for one feed in a month or so ..SweetSeeds don't like that trick ...
Still leaves praying, loads of new grows after each night , just Kushes overgrew others a bit. Will supercrop them soon.
Day 39. All is going smooth, they drink biobizz nutes feed in one day, phed water in 2, so you would want to overfeed them, Kushes could eat more 4sure now.
Installed last wall fan. Now setup is full...
Kind off ;))) need to find exhaust silent and powerfull 5 inch fan ...
Day 41. This is official - JUNGLES !!! ;)
Change in plans :
Killer Kushes are moved to veg/dry tent, Autos started there will come instead of them. Thinking that way ill lower canopy a bit and make more space for rest 8.
Tomorrow it will be done together with heavy training for Skunks and Cheeses. They will be sent to flower at the end of next week.
Happy Growing !
Day 43. Girls will get heavy training later today. They grow ... and because of that i had to move 3 Kushes to other tent and i will make separate diary for theirs flowering time.
3 Auto Blue Tooth by Real Gorilla Seeds took theirs place.
After todays training i will give them 4-5 days to recover and will send them to flower hopefully on sunday after 24 hours of darkness.
Skunks grow bigger plants, than Cheeses, despite theirs quickest germination and obvious lead in first 3 weeks or so ...
Day 46. 3 days left to flower, finally made heavy training, way too busy for LST grows... but result is good, girls hopefully will show off in bloom !
Day 47. Girls loved training, 2 more days, 24 hours darkness and tuesday latest flowering starts. Got full feed of Biobizz, feed charts updated. Next feed = water + silica.
Happy Growing !!!
Day 50. Girls had 30 hours of darkness and now its first day of flower !!!
Nothing to add, they look ok, found couple pests under leaves, applied neem oil.
Never had any bugs inside, but its always first time ...
Would be nice to know, how quick or how long does it takes for big problem to happen ...
But that kind of curiosity i won't satisfy ;))))
On old leaves found like 5 bugs on first plant, thought its enough to start worry ...
Day 51. Girls are flying, photos shows it all....
Even after watering they still look more than ok, always pray...
Hope neem oil helped to sort bugs, will check it in 3 days.
Day 52. Bugs are still here, more soap and neem oil , all done in bath, each girls took at least 2 liters of spray, most leaves washed gently with spray and fingers, lowest old or damaged leaves removed.
Sticky traps installed.
Should sort this out.
Worst case i still can spray them twice before first flowers starts to form... better to do all shit in veg, but i am old and blind, sometimes i see just huge things ...
Day 56. Sticky traps out, Army of LadyBugs in !!! ;)))
Some leaves looks bad, now i see what a big pain in @$$ are pest, how fortunate was i to avoid it for so long ...
Girls drink quick, so i should be still ok, in couple days 200 larvae of LadyBugs should arrive as well ...
Fingers crossed !
Happy Growing !!!
Day 57. Girls okeish except damaged leaves by thrips and by my sprays with most probably too much neem oil in it.
Lady bugs all over plants, so i think i should beat problem easy till first heavy flowering training session...
By book its 50 bugs vs one LadyBug a day, i imagine that they will start to starve like tomorrow latest ;)))
Day 62. Yesterday got more help to fight thrips and ordered new variety of natural predators to keep on ...
With such dense canopy fight is very hard, in smaller tent all is sorted, in this one i still see damaged leaves and sometimes thrips still ....
Anyway, even with those issues they are really nice girls, will do heavy training on Tuesday or Wednesday ...
Idea is to do hard defoliation and then introduce new army of predators, i will loose some during training 4 sure...
I still see lady bugs and and i released larvae already, will give them 4 more days to get hungry ;)))
Happy Growing !!!
Day 65. Heavy training in progress ...
All done, hopefully not many natural protectors lost, took about 30 liters bag full off leaves and shoots, could do like 100 clones easy ;)))
All girls lolitoped, cleared, defoliated, rewired, some had supercroping.
Skunks were happy when last Cheese was done, so i think/hope - all will go smooth.
This time i really cleared them a lot, maybe the most in my career ...
Cheeses performed thicker and more stacked branches .
Fun is starting !!!
Day 66. Got my last puzzle of protection against thrips. I think i beat them already, yesterday haven't noticed any thrips on leaves, but i am old and blind ;)))
They where ordered a week ago, so just in case ...
Girls look just fabulous !!! I think it will be very nice harvest by bag appeal, hopefully weight will make me smile too ;))))
I still think to strip them hard at the end of week 5 or week 6 if they will delay in progress .... At the moment they are just perfect !
Day 69. Here comes my moan ;)) Stretch was not so big as i expected, looks like 80 is more real target than 100.
They look very nice and healthy and i beaten thrips , but this time i cleared too much i feel ;))))) Future will show ...
Happy Growing !!!
Day 71. Girls just perfect ;)))
As any grower i would want, bigger, fatter, stronger, but they are in that range anyway, now main thing not to screw up ;)))
Girls on nute, water, water+calmag, water+silicaAcid, water+molasses rhythm and just love life !
Day 72. Got more presents, thank You Zamnesia ! Asked for 4 strains, got 2 ;))) Still 10 beans and full grow by one house, like i always try to do. Always wanted to try out Runtz, all grows that i saw - was sick ! Kalini Asia - new taste and strain for me 4sure !
Day 76. All is good , they are missing CalMag from those lights a bit and with such amount of buds, but should be fine. Todays watering was only with CalMag, ph 6.5. Next watering full nute blast, should be fun to observe, they are starving a bit , so i hope for huge grow rate after.
Tried 4 month cured weed at a friends, he had to chop girl on week 6 of flower, with nutes still being fed. After an hour head pain , ash was still black ...
I would never try not to flush ....
Happy growing !
Day 78. Girls are missing food a lot, but i always love to underfeed them, taste ten times better at the end. My QB just burned Mag out of leaves, those branches exposed to most intense light - suffer most. But its not my first rodeo with them, so i am totally calm.
Funny, i got some Clover seeds pop out ... when i brought last predators, they were kept between seeds and now i have mini Nitrogen boost ;))) i know that its only couple plants in each pot, i know that soon i won't need N at all, but still funny aftermath.
Everything else on cruise control since my air system update i have to water every 30 l pot with 4-5 liters every two days, usually it was four ... They bulk up and looks like it will be high quality bud, let's see ... !
Happy Growing !
Day 85. Girls are packing up , still flowering like nothing.
I have other diary with moved Kushes running and explained there a bit more why i think i have that leaves discoloration. Still lost what happened, but measures were taken, girls got EcoThrive Microbe Tea, Epsom salt , now its only to finish them. 3 plants from 8 got some deficiency and the only variation was new brand of molasses for me. Let's see will it stop the spread or i have to find real problem ....
I was always using Cal-Mag not by Biobizz, this grow i tried to use theirs, but simple epsom salt works better and faster... Drifting away from organics a bit ;)))
Skunks looks like a faster strain, Cheeses just packs flowers, no brown pistils at all.
In my mini hopes they are 5 weeks away from harvest.
Happy Growing and Merry Christmas !!!
Day 92. Yellowing not spreading , girls drink and pray all journey long, so conclusion - molasses was the issue. Still watering with ph 6.2-6.4 lower than my beloved 6.5. Hopefully i will feed them 2-3 times more and then flush. Only one Cheese left without brown pistils so i am max 4 weeks away from harvest by all look.
Was thinking to do defoliation session , but i trimed them so hard on first during flower, plus bugs, later sulphur deficiency, so they are not fit in my mind for any stress.
Skunks looks more mature, lower buds still packing on both strains. One Skunk (lowest amount of big colas) is one of fast runners, all in crystals already, looks like Christmas tree after good snow ;))
Happy Growing !!!
Day 99. Girls are good, even delayed/unmature buds are catching up and i feel like last feed was given already. Should be only water regime from now ...
Nothing to add or say..
Fatter, Bigger, Stronger - is theirs target now and slowly they are crawling there ;)))))
My cam is still shit, during thirps it made me happy, now when some girls are true beauties - it makes me nervous ;)))
Happy Growing !!!
Day 106. Girls starting to finish. Smellish, crystally, but buds are small and airy.
If no thirps or molasses issues my heart would be singing now, but it is as it is. 2 skunks are really great, think 3 cheeses are okeish, but far from my targets and plans ....
Anyway, final weight will cheer me up or totally crush ... ;)))
Two more weeks left, at least 10 days till chop.
No nutes , all feeding was finished last week.
Happy Growing !!
Day 113. Girls in finishing stage, dieing , flushed leaves are taken away and thats all work i do. Pure water , raised ph to 6.8.
Think one more watering on Thursday and on Sunday its Chop Day !
Day 114. Last watering done, Saturday lights out, Sunday eve - Chop Day !!!
Happy Growing !!!
Day 119. After 72 hours of darkness - chop day !!!
P.S. if you are searching for Killer Kush, she got separate diary, my favourite of all 3 strains.
Day unknown !!! Though I uploaded dry weight results and videos, but made it only with Cheeses, all footage is deleted now , so this part will be missing, stoners life ... ;)))
Happy Growing !!!
Day 119. Will update later. This grow is almost finished ....
Jar day - all is done, now cure left.
Happy Growing !!!
