CBD Kush - Dutch Passion
1:1 CBD/THC ratio
https://www.amsterdamseedcenter.com/en/dutch-passion-cbd-kush-feminised
This is my first attempt at growing. I'm currently growing 3 CBD Kush and 2 Treasure Island (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/8634-treasure-island-feminised-high-cbd).
I would appreciate advice and suggestions as I still have a lot to learn.
I primed the seeds for about 12 hours before germinating them in a humidity dome. The plants are now in a foil wrapped banana box with a fan and a 88W fluorescent bulb (1200 lumen). Hopefully, they'll be nice and cosy in a grow box under 600W by the end of week 2.
Day 8: After reading about pests, I have researched companion plants so I have placed a pot of peppermint next to the plants. Marigolds will be next.
Day 9: Peppermint has repelled black flies.
More updates to come later this week.
Still signs of new growth however the leaves are slightly droopy and "white stains" have appeared. Not looking too healthy compared to the Treasure Island girls (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/8634-treasure-island-feminised-high-cbd) even though both are growing in the same environment and receiving the same treatment.
Any clues what may be causing this?
Hans Ledlite panel was delivered last week. The extra lumens should do a world of good.
Update: A little worried with one of the girls. Not sure what's causing damage. This is a no nute grow so far, might be the cause?
Repotted and ready for week 5.
Guess who's back.
Finally took the time to update my diary after 7 weeks of chaos. The girls have grown nicely. They were topped and defoliated a few weeks back, the leaves and stems were decarboxylated and were used to make butter and tea.
Up potted one to a 50L airpot, she'll be left outside when the other two are kicked into flowering.
I'm thinking of taking some cuttings this week so if anyone has advice, I'm all ears.
Still only one of the girls in flowering, buds are starting to fill out. Does she need a bit more defoliation?
Other two are still growing slowly but surely.
The cutting has healthy new growth. Once the grow room is free, I may take some more to grow through the winter
The girls have been getting nothing but summer sunshine on a 12/12 basis for a month or so, I certainly think one has stretched although I left her to do her thing. As for the other two, the one in flowering has produced a lot of bud sites and is not particularly tall. The third one is still in vegetation and is topped and defoliated every so often. Trying to get her as big and bushy as possible before flowering. I shall update soon with a few more pics. I look forward to hearing your thoughts
@BonBonBotanist,they look so stretched as if the strenght of the light is not enough. got long branches with a few leaves. she should more bushy. maybe one more led=?
Thanks for your input! I've been uncertain as to how well the grow has been going because this is my first year. I'm hoping I can get a mammoth harvest from the big girl in autumn. I very much look forward to trying the end product!
keep updating. I have 4 cbd kush at week 2 (no diary, July 8th) some are inside some are out - it's getting late in the year for our area - we will have frost in October at the latest.
I don't update every week as I'm taking a laidback approach to my first grow. This year was mostly an experiment, to see how I can improve next year's grow.Drop a message if you're looking for answers or start a diary, I will happily share my thoughts and would love to see the progress. Happy growing ✌
