So, for this 1st 2021 session I'll grow 2 Gorilla Glue #4 - 2 Girl scout cookies from Original sensible seeds and 2 Jack Herer from Sensi Seeds
Important changes in the set-up with a bigger 4x4 premium tent and a switch from MH/HPS to Led:
- Secret Jardin DR120x120x200 R4,00 (d400) Ltd.
- Spider farmer SF4000
- 2 SJ 20 W oscillating fan + 1 30W for the led pannel
- 1 '135 W', 1 '80W' and 1 '45W' ecoheat metal bars
- Air extraction: Iso max 3 speeds 430 m3/h
- Air intraction: 1 160 mm and 1 250 mm passive intakes + 1 quiet line 150 in case
- Carbon filter 600 m3 pure factory + Ona
- Humidifier 3,5L 3 speeds
- Pots= 1L ->3,7L -> 14L
- Nutrients: Bio technology (Elycitor, root +, Orga grow, Orga Bloom , inductor F and R, Blooming H). Osiryl is planned too (for roots , with elycitor and roots +).
- Soil:
While in the 1L pots: 50% light mix 50% DNA Mills with cork. only DNA with cork for bigger pot' sizes.
Because the soil is very rich, i'll try to use as less nutrients as possible mainly focusing on elycitor/roots+/Osiryl for optimal roots growth and health. Flushing as long as possible.
- I forecast at least 6/7 growing and 10/11 flowering weeks => it will anyway be too short to start another session after this one and ending before summer heats are back => I'd rather take all my time on this one. I'll use lst,toping and scrog again: the new tent is much more handy and it's way easier to get access to plants and to work at them.
Coming back to now..
Germination : I put 2 seeds of each strain in to humid paper towel and left them in the dark at +/- 22°C on December 25th 0 a.m.
One day and a half later all had sprouted.
I put them in a 1L pot, little watering pH 6,2 + elycitor 0,3g/l and then in my new tent (4X4) today, December 28th
The light ( 1st led session) is placed at 80 cm from soil and dim is at 25% +/-= 110 w
T° inside is at 24° C and humidity at 60%
Ha.. I forgot to mention that I managed to "lose" a Gorilla glue seed in its pot ...😷.
It took 20 mn to check the soil and I don't know where it is. I watered anyway and started another seed.
Week 1:
- 28/12/2020 = Day 1. All 6 sprouted seeds put in their 1 L pot. Very little watering, pH 6,2 with Bio Technology Elycitor 0,3 mg/L Led's height : 80cm and dim at 25%.
- Day 4 : All plants started to grow: 1st Girls scout cookies, then Jeck Here and finally Gorilla glue. The GG#4 lost seed showed up in a corner of its pot yesterday=> I carefully placed it back in the middle. Then I lost the seed that I started to replace it in case and that did not sprout yet. And found it today => back to seeds stock and finally everything is fine. Only useless sport and worries.
Dim is at 35 %. This way ppfd is at 350/360 and plants seem to like it.
- Day 5: Watering +/- 150 ml/plant, pH 6,1, Elycitor 0,2 g/l + Osiryl 1ml/L. Dim at 45% as they're getting taller than I expected.
- Day 6: Lowered the lamp to 65 cm from plants and placed an exhale co2 bag in the tent.
Day 8: Watering pH 6,2 with Elycitor, Roots + and Osiryl. As far as I can see, the seedlings look good although a little tall. Compared to previous MH/HPS diaries the growth is at least as good and as fast and plants are a little greener
Day 9: Watering again - as yesterday- for a Jack Herer and a girl scout cookie.
Day 10 : Nada.
Day 11: Watering 3 plants (GG 2, JH 2 GSC 1), 1/2 L pH 6,1 + Elycitor 0,3 mg/L - Osiryl 2 ml/L - Roots 0,3 ml/l.
Dimmer at 60%
Day 12: Compared again to 2 previous diaries, no doubts: The plants are growing faster. The SF4000 does a better job than my Nurturelite Super MH for the growing stage at least and for now, I'm very happy with this led pannel !👌
Day 13: Watering pH 6,2 + Elycitor 0,3 mg/L - Osiryl 2 ml/L - Roots 0,3 ml/l for GG 1
Day 14: Watering same as yesterday for JH1, GSC2 & 1, GG2. I'll repot next week when the soil is dry.
.
Day 15 ( 11/01/2020): The plants are growing nicely ! No "grow" nutrients, only roots and soil stuff but still better results using the SF-4000. That said, I ordered and just received the organic/bio version of my Bio Technology nutrients ( Orga Grow instead of Grow A+B and Orga Bloom instead of Bloom A+B= Twice as less products to mix for the soup): I will use them when I repot. These won't waste my soil life and that's the reason why I finally plan to use some.
Day 16: All plants repotted in their 3,4 L pot and watering 0,5 L /plant pH 6,1+ Elycitor 0,3 g/L, Osiryl 1,35ml/L, Roots + 0,3 ml/L, Orga grow 1 ml/L
Day 17: Raised the light to 65 cm from canopy and dimmer is at 65%.
Day 18: I"ll water all plants tomorrow. They're growing fast and nicely=> I'll top them above fith node next week.
Day 19: Watering pH 6,3 with Roots + 0,3 ml/L and Osiryl 2 ml/L for all plants but Jack Herer #2 who only had water: It has a few orange spots on 2nd node's leaves. At first they were white and were not visible under the leaves. I thought it was lamp/water drop burn and didn't care too much. Today they turned orange and can be seen on both leaves 's sides and a new spot appeared on a 3rd node's leaf. I 've been told that this might be the result of too much nutrients. I shoudn't mix osiryl and root+ but only use one + the soil is very rich and even a low dosage of orga grow is perhaps too much for this one.
Day 20:They're growing fine !
Day 21: Idem: They grew up by 2 cm since yesterday. Haaa !!! And I forgot to mention a nice smell coming to my nose when I open the tent since 3/4 days: mainly because of the Girlscout cookies and a little less because of the Gorilla glue.
Before the light is off, I'll spray some neem oil for prevention.
Day 22 (18/01/2021): I will finally top them above 6th node and increase the final pot size to 18 L. This time, I want more height under the grid : 30/40cm grid to soil instead of 18 cm last time. Night/day T° difference has been a bit hight for the 2 last days making them grow a little too tall imo. Next 2 weeks will have warmer nights.
As far as I can see, the ladies look rather good for now although, as usually, there is a notably bigger one and a notably smaller too.
Day 23: Watering ph 6,4 + Elycitor 0,4 mg/L / Roots+ 0,3 ml/L for all plants.
Day 24: They grew a lot again during the last 24 hours. One Girl scout cookies has much larger internodes is less bushy than the other: I want to believe it has more sativa in it..😈.
All plants are now strong - even the little gorilla glue- : I will top them tomorrow or the day after, repot them and place the scrog grid in the middle of next week and then start the training. At this time, the distance soil/grid should be +/-25 cm, the grid/ground distance: +/- 55 cm => 1 m / 1,1 m at the max remaining for buds height (*): It should not be a problem as the stretch should be much lower than X3.
This reminds me that, at least, I found the strains that I really want to grow: One 100% african sativa ( Malawi) and the same crossed with 2 Thai strains (Golden tiger), both from Ace seeds. I forgot it existed but when I felt on it, I remember smoking some Malawi cobs when I was a teen and never smoked something like that since. I remembered this seeing cobs on a video and then knew...: I want to become an african/thai cob master ! haha 😂.
(*): In my dreams...: 55 cm grid/ground distance+ 30 cm top of tent/lamp+45 cm mini distance lamp/canopy => 0,7 m remaining for vertical growth.
Day 25: They grew up by 3 cm during the last 24 hours, 8th node spreading for one of the girl scout cookies: Finally, I topped them all above fifth node. No need to lose👇 possibly useful cm.
The distance led/canopy is still at 65 cm ( I had to raise the pannel up everyday)and dimmer is set at 70%.
Day 26: Watering 4,5 L for all plants + Elycitor 0,5 mg/L + Orga grow 0,35 ml/ L + Roots+ 0,3 ml/L. Topping had almost no effect on growth rate and secondaries are growing fast.
Day 27: The girls are allright. There was some slight issue with the little gorilla glue and Jack Here #1 whose green were..slightly suspect and it's gone. I won't tie anything before I repot. Anyway, for now, just moving the fans leaves is enough to see secondaries spreading like crazy. Tomorrow will be quiet and action again on monday repoting the ladies. By that time, the soil shouldl be dry enough.
Day 28: I'm impressed to the max with the SF4000 !! Althought we don't speak the same langage, I can tell they love its light and spectrum !
Repoting tomorrow if the soil is dry enough.
Day 29: Spent the morning buying little things for the tent and working at it. Changed the air extractor fixtures to use them with an additional top metal bar for the tent. I moved the extractor slightly higher and the led pannel can move vertically without any contact with the extractor and the carbon filter. With the additionnal metal bar, I 'll be able to use 4 suspension cables and get rid of the spider farmer 's ones => + 15 new cm available to raise the light + more slope angles 😍.
Then some cleaning inside the tent and quietly started to repot in the begining of the afternoon.
It's long.... Prepare 4,5 L of soup for watering ( water pH 6,5 + Elycitor 0,3 mg/L and Roots+ 0,3 ml/L), then the repoting itself ( I don't like to do it very very much, Oh no.. !), then 20 mn watering slowly , then waiting for the water to fill the plates, then empty it and once more. Then it's heavy erf..! Back to the tent to place it, adjust the lamp's height and ready for the next one.
Well.. I have been short of time before the light is off and also short of ...soil 😬 Finally, only the 2 Jack Herer and the 2 Girl scout cookies are repoted ( my best roots ever btw) and I 'll have to start early tomorrow to go and get my soil ( 1 hour to go and come back...) and take care of the 2 gorilla glue so that everything is done before 1 pm: I'll be busy somewhere else after and I want the remaining waterings/repotages do be done tomorrow.
Gorilla glues's wouldn't mind some water and the 4 other plants need to rest after the afternoon they spent. So, tonight, they look a little down but they'll smile tomorrow.
Day 30 : Both Gorilla glue repoted and watered. The 4 other plants liked their yesterday afternoon and grew by 2 cm: Tallest plant is now 23 cm tall. I'm waiting for👉 my metal bar to arrange the light suspension before putting the net in place. As soon as it's done, i'll start to fill my space training the ladies under the grid and toping them again until 70/80 % (depending on how they'll behave) coverage.
Day 31: For all plants:
- 1 st node 's Fan leaves and secondaries branches removed,
-2 main top colas + top cola of 2nd, 3rd and fourth secondary branches topped above at least 3rd node (except for the Girl scout cookies #1 whose internodes are way longer than for the other plants and less numerous)
- Removed 1st leaves and nodes at the bottom on node 2's secondary branches.
At this point, each plant has 4 main colas + 12 secondary branches's top colas = 16 main tops. Considering how fast they grow, it won't be long to fill the net and - to avoid as much as I can too tall plants- I want them to stay under the net for a while during pre bloom. Can't wait to install the net. The metal bar was announced to be delivered today but.. Tomorrow certainly !
This time, the net is flexible ( compared to the bamboo grid that I used last time: 100 % rigid): I also wonder how stong will be the impact on its ability to constrain plants and give them a "don't excpect to grow tall easily, but look.. on the sides it's so easy" signal.
Day 32: Despite the metal bar hasn't been delivered today 😂, I placed the net and started to train the plants. I like this flexible net much better than the bamboo one: One can train the branches "under/ubove" the grid. This wasn"t possible with the bamboo net: too thick, 100% rigid => my "scrog" was more a lst under the net than a "real" scrog. On another hand, to help branches support big buds weight the bamboo grid is unbeatable and it can be disassembled progressivly to ease crop in case all plants are not ready the same day.
Before final placing, I moved the tent toward the center of the room => I can sit in front of each of its four sides and because the new tent can be opened on each size, should experience no difficulties to water, train, defoliate under the net and eventually partially harvest. And that's nice ! 😎.
Day 33: Moved and placed branches and leaves above/under the net to buld the future canopy. This is going to keep me busy untill I let them grow freely.
Day 34: Same as yesterday.
Day 35: Same as yeserday + defoliation at the bottom of the plants ( leaves not taking light and secondaries too low to reach the net) + watering 4 L/ plant (pH 6,4 + Elycitor 0,4 mg/L and Roots+ 0,3 ml/L+ Orga grow 1ml/L) for all plants but the gorilla glue 's.
I'll spray some neem oil tonight before the light is off.
Jack Herer are definitely the most perennial, then Girl scout cookies and then Gotilla glue. The number of bud sites is growing : Jack Here have 30+ of them on the grid level each...
One in the other, I spent 8 hours with the ladies today ! 💪 Not sure If I already mentionned it: They have between 10 mn up to an hour of guitare playing a day. I can tell plants like music. And I love plants. So..
End of week 5. Next week, I will let them rest keeping on guiding what can be guided.
Day 36 (17/02/2021): No fish again for the Gorilla glue's today. I removed a very few leaves that I forgot yesterday and guided branches/leaves to expose the tops. Also raised a litle the light intendity just under 80%. As far as I can see, the plants are looking rather good. I forecast another 6/10 days of growth before switchng to 12/12.
Day 37: Watering 4 liters per plant (pH 6,4 + Elycitor 0,4 mg/L / Roots + 0,3 ml/L / Orga grow 1ml/L) for both Gorilla glue. Removed another very few leaves and again guided branches and leaves for tops light exposure.
Day 38: Same as yesterday watering excepted.
Finally, I got the metal bar for the tent this morning and it's installed (not that easy with metal..legs and few fingers/phalanges gone away, so I'm quite happy my lamp finally didn't fall during the operation ! It was about for 30 long seconds...😱)
Tomorrow, I receive a new net, 12x12 instead of 11x11 and with better space coverage: With care, I think that the 11x11 can be removed to place the 12x12 instead. We'll see.
The plants look good and even without flowers, the smell in the tent is now strong.
Day 39: The net arrived in time !! But... 9x9 instead of 12x12 !😬
Refund or exchange but still no 12x12 net. I didn't go too hard with bending new branches the last two days in anticipation of having to remove the 11x11 net. Today wasn't the same song as it appears hat the net will remain 11x11. Switching to 12/12 certainly next sunday.
Day 40: Watering for all plants but Gorilla glue's: 4 liters per plant, pH 6,4 + Elycitor 0,4g/L, Root + 0,3 ml/L and Orga grow 1ml/L. Again defoliation and guiding branches and leaves to expend the canopy coverage and expose the bud's sites.
Day 41: Again defoliation etc.. No watering.
Day 42: Watering 4 liters pH 6,4 + Elycitor 0,4mg/L , Roots + 0,3ml/L and Orga grow 1ml/L for Gorilla Glue #1. I will certainly switch to 12/12 tomorrow or tuesday.
Day 43 (feb. 8th 2020): Installed a fan for under the net and a new air humidifier to replace the not even one year old burnt one.
As far as I can see, the plants look good: I'll turn the light off 5 hours earlier than usually later today ( 13 hours of light for today) and program it to turn on 12 hours later. +/- 10 days of pre-flowering should be more than enough to finish to fill the culture space.
Day 44: Big defoliation for all plants + watering 4 liters pH 6,5 with Elycitor 0,4mg/L + Roots + 0,3 ml /l + Orga grow 1,25 ml/L for Gorilla glue 2. Sprayed some neem oil ( 1 ml/L) just before the light is off.
Day 45: All plants topped for the third time + watering 4 liters pH 6,5 with Elycitor 0,4mg/L + Roots + 0,3ml/L + Orga grow 2 ml/L for all plants but Gorilla glue's. I finished when the light turned off and my camera's battery was down so...No pictures today
Day 46: Rest day for the ladies. Only moved some leaves here and there. I cut a lot yesterday and the day before and worried if it wasn't too much. Dream on !! They are strong and with the help of pre-flowering, it's exploding everywhere.
I doubled the dosage for Orga grow yesterday ( reaching 40% of the recommended dosage), they take it easy. I will progressively increase the dosage until the end of next week to reach 80% of the recommended dosage as they are going to need it. Then I"ll move on Orga bloom.
Day 47: Another rest day moving leaves/branches a little.
Day 48: Cut 2/3 branches and fan leaves again on 2 plants. There are loads of flower sites.
Girl scout cookies has its very first pistils showing up. For now they're female, may it remain like this 🙏
Day 49: Watering 4 liters /plant, pH 6,5 with Elycitor 0,4mg/L-Roots + 0,3 ml/L and Orga grow 3ml/L for GSC #1, JH #1 and GG #1. Later, I'll spray neem oil or all.
Day 50 (15/02/2021): Watering 4 liters/plant, pH 6,5 + Elycitor 0,4 mg/L, Roots + 0,3 ml/L and Orga grow 3ml/L for GSC #2 and JH #2. Topped another 4 or 5 branches and cut a few leaves while plants are still preflowering. The culture surface is almost filled, all the ladies look good, I cross my fingers for the coming weeks !
Day 51: Rest day.
Day 52: Watering 4 liters, pH 6,5 + Elycitor 0,4 mg/L, Roots + 0,3 ml/L and Orga grow 3ml/L for GG #2. The stretch is getting stronger.
Day 53: Watering 4 liters/plant, pH 6,4 + , Roots + 0,3 ml/L and Orga grow 4ml/L for GSC #1 and JH #1.
Day 54: Watering 4 liters, pH 6,5 + , Roots + 0,3 ml/L and Orga grow 4ml/L for GG #1. All plants have now their first pistils showing up.
Day 55: Watering 4 liters, pH 6,5 + , Roots + 0,3 ml/L and Orga grow 4ml/L for GSC #2 and JH #2 ( I forgot to adjust the pH for JH #2... So, it had 7,3 instead of 6,5 😱. It should survive but I worried about it for a good while). GSC #1 is exploding and would like more space. I . It took 6 cm during the night, 10 in the space if 2 days => I bent 5 branches. Also cut a few leaves, small branches under the net. There are still lots of flowering sites, more than 30 on each plant only counting main ones. I started to use an air dehumiidifier yesterday as the air humidity was too high at 80/85% since a while (despite the air extractor, 2 passive intakes and 3 fans...And the fact that the plants don't seem to suffer of such air humidity). It's now at 55/60%,not perfect but better.
Day 56: They grew by another 3 cm today. 21 cm for the last week. Cut 4 or 5 mini branches on GSC#1.
GG#1, GSC#2 and JH #2 clearly started to flower, a little less clearly for GSC #1 / JH #1 and barely visibly for GG#2, the "yellow" :)
Day 57 ( 22/02/2021): Watering 4 liters/plant, pH 6,5 with Roots + 0,3ml/L and Orga bloom 3 ml/L for GG #2. Once again, they grew by 3 cm during the day. More flowers are appearing and I wonder how it looks like by the middle of april, in 8/9 long weeks.
Day 58: Watering 5 liters/plant, pH 6,4 with Elycitor 0,4 mg/L, Roots + 0,3ml/L and Orga bloom 3 ml/L for GSC #1 and JH #1. Light is at 62 cm and dimmer at 100%.
Day 59: Watering 4,5 liters/plant, pH 6,3 with Elycitor 0,4 mg/L, Roots + 0,3ml/L and Orga bloom 3 ml/L for GSC #2, JH #2 and GG #1.
Day 60: Rest day. The plants eat and drink more. The 2 yellowish look a little less yellow and one in the other, the little forest looks rather good.
Day 61: Lots of cleaning under the net, leaves, too low branches etc.
Day 62: Watering 4,5 liters/plant , pH 6,5 with Elycitor 0,4 mg/L, Roots + 0,3ml/L and Orga bloom 3 ml/L for GG #2. the same without Elycitor for GSC #1 and JH #1.
Day 63: Rest day. Trichomes are starting to show up.
Day 64 ( 01/03/2021): Watering 4,5 liters /plant pH 6,5 with Elycitor 0,4 mg/L and Orga bloom 4ml/L for GG #1, JH #2 and GSC #2. The stretch is less strong now althought the plants took another 2 cm today.
Day 65: Watering 4,5 liters/plant, pH 6,4 with Orga bloom 4ml/L for GSC #1 and JH #1. My RH problem was caused by the carbon filter that I replaced => back to normal airflow and humidity level but also lost 2°C in the operation. I'll add some heating for nights.
Day 66: Nothing to report.
Day 67: Idem excepted they took 6 cm in 24 hours. I thought the stretch was ending..
Day 68:Watering 4,5 liters/plant, only water pH 6,4 for GG#1, GSC #2 and JH #2. Did some cleaning again for the last time and also braided lots of fans leaves. For now , Girl scout cookies is the stickiest and also the one with the strongest smell.
Day 69: Watering 4,5 liters/plant, only water pH 6,4 for GG#2, GSC #1 and JH #1. The flowers are starting to get a little bigger and to stack. Trichomes are getting more dense. Once again I must say how happy I am with the SF 4000. Money saved on electricty, more and better power for the plants who are the strongest and healthiest that I grew untill today.
Day 70: Nothing to report. The girl scout cookies are almost taking a half of the tent. Gorilla glue #2 has a hard life surrounded by big plants, #1 does better but GSC and JH grew taller thant both GG.
Day 71 (08/03/2021); 5th week of 12/12 starting. Buds are slowly taking form. From this week inductor R & F, Blooming H and Boost + will enter the nutrient dance. That said, I think that next watering will be only water again. Some leaves ends tell me that they already have a tiny more than they need.
Day 72: Sprayed 1/2 liter of water pH 6 with Inductor F. This one is supposed to increase trichomes 's number and size by +/- 30%. Next watering ( likely tomorrow) I'll add the inductor R, racinary and 4 days later I'll spray some Bloomng H - this time to increase buds denssity and vegetal mass. I'll repeat the whole process once or twice before the cut.
Day 73 : Watering (from 4,5 to 6 liter/plant- GSC#1 drinks a lot ! - ), pH 6,5, with Elycitor 0,4 mg/L, Boost + 1 ml/L and inductor R 2ml/L for all plants but JH#2 and GSC #2 who didn't have inductor R , not enough left. I'll order and get some tomorrow and they'll have their dose next watering. In 3 days I'll spray the Bloomng H. As far as i can see , they look happy although a little more space wouldn't hurt.
Day 74: The inductor R (and more Boost +) were delivered today. I'm surprised to see GSC's with much more trichomes than GG's. Especially thinking that Gorilla glue #4 is supposed to be ready a little before the 2 others. Same with smell. I read everywhere you better have a good carbon filter because of GG's strong smell and for now both GG are the one with the less ( special, a bit like medecine btw) smell. Perhaps it will come later, I see no reason why I would be disapointed with an OSS strain. In the last 2 days buds 's size really started to increase
Day 75: I almost never open the tent at night. I did yesterday evening and...noticed a barely visible light coming from the leds despite the pannel is off. Barely visible but enough to say its not 100% night in the tent. I did some resarches, its a rather common electric issue. I replaced the timer with another model and fortunately, it's been enought to have the problem fixed. Since the last soup, 2 days ago, buds's size really started to increase.
Day 76: The new timer turns off light etc 12 mn later than the one that it replaces. I learnt about it when the light turned off just after I started to take my daily photographs waiting the last moment to spray the Blooming H. So, not the usual views (that i use to see how plants grow from day to day). The good news for me is that day time didn't change...as I noticed this morning that the ligth turned on +/- 10 mn earlier than usually. Yes , it's hard to be precise with those timers and I agree, this is another incredibly intersting subject 😂.
Blooming H 1st application is done having sprayed 500 ml of water ph 6 mixed with 7,5 ml of Blooming H. Within the next 48 hours, the effect on buds volume should be clearly noticable. It is usually .
Day 77: Watering only water pH 6,4 for all plants. I just finished when the light turned off => no time to take photographs. Too bad, the effects of blooming H are already visible : bigger and way more dense/solid.
Day 78 (15/03/2021): Well... The smell is becoming strong. Even with ONA in the room, as soon as the tent is opened for a few minutes my place is perfumed for a while. The 6th week of 12/12 is starting and lots of changes should still occur.
Day 79: Nothing to mention.
Day 80: Idem
Day 81: Watering 5,5 L/plant , pH 6,4 with Elycitor 0,4 mg/L, Boost + 1ml/L and Orga bloom ( 2ml/L for JH"s and 3ml/L for GSC 's)
Day 82: Watering 4,5 L/plant , pH 6,4 with Elycitor 0,4 mg/L, Boost + 1ml/L and Orga bloom 4ml/L for both Gorilla Glue.
Day 83: I got 2 different JH phenos, one 99% sure is the "extreme bud", not the most potent but heavy cropper and still very very nice smoke. The other one might be the "Cinnamon nugget" but I'm not as sure... one of the 3 sativas phenos for sure but certainly not - halas- the haze one despite it took way longer to start setting flowers.
Day 84: 6th week of 12/12 finishing. I will still lower nutrients for both JH, too many end leaves burnt.
Day 85 (22/03/2021): Watering 5,5 L/plant, pH 6,3 with Boost + 1 ml/l for both Jack Herer. The same with in addition Orga bloom 2 ml/L for both Girl scout cookies. Before the light turned off, I sprayed Blooming H second round on all plants : 7,5 ml mixed with 0,5L of water source (yes my dear :) ) pH 6. I love GSC 's smell and can't wait to taste it !
Day 86: After the first weeks, I really have to struggle against a propensity to overwater and overfeed despite initial good intentions. So GG's had nothing today.But then it means that they won't have Inductor R the same day that inductor F is sprayed on all plants. It's not a drama but at first, willing to have the 2 inductors used the same day (should be next friday), I was almost convinced to water them not enough and too early to have their soil dry enough the same day than the other plants that I watered yesterday. No. But I had to...struggle a bit to make the choice. Indeed, what a dangerous life 😂
Day 87: Attached 3 colas to the tent and a bamboo. Blooming H is doing its job, the difference in 2 days is clearly visible !! GG 1 has some amber trichomes, much more mature than its sister. Idem JH 2 is more advanced than JH 1. The Girl Scout Cookies have an incredible smell. A few days ago I ordered some Pelton mastic: This time, I plan to harvest what's ready (infortunately not yet) as soon it's ready and let the bottom fully mature instead of cutting all when the top is ok. It wil hurt them and Pelton mastic will help them to recover and prevent pbs on and around the cuts.
Day 88: Watering 4,5 L , pH 6,2 with Elycitor 0,4 mg/L, Orga Bloom 3ml/L and Boost + 1ml/L for both Gorilla Glue 4.
The little garden is starting to look like something. The smells and trichome abundance are very promising and weeks are at the same time passing very quickly and very slowly. Both JH have the leaves burnt at their tops. They both drink a lot so I tend to think that it's overfeeding => I will still reduce it.
Day 89: Nada.Some very first signs of senescense begining on GSC1,JH2 and GG 1. I will still give them Inductor F and R 2nd round (tomorrow or sunday),some boost + and Elycitor and then after only Elycitor till the cut.
Day 90: Watering 5,2 l/plant , pH 6,3 with Elycitor 0,4 mg/L , Boost + 1 ml/L, inductor R 2ml/L for both JH. The same with Orga bloom 3ml/L for both GSC.
Inductor F ( 1/2 liter) sprayed on all plants before the light is off and once again, short of time to take pictures. Not much changed since yesterday. Smell is stronger and stronger, buds are still fattening and I tied several branches to the tent's metal bars so that they have more light and don't rest against the tent's walls
Day 91: End of 7th week of 12/12. More glue - at least- on the Gorilla glue 4. I wish I was next may...
Day 92 (29/03/2021):Nada. GSC 1 is slowly yellowing. It's trichomes are mostly milky, very few transparent and +/-5% amber. The repair mastic is on ist way, in +/- 10 days I'll consider harvesting GSC's (and certainly JH 1 & 2 and GG 1) top buds.
Day 93: Watering 5,5 l pH 6,2 with Boost + 1ml/L, inductor R 2ml/L and orga bloom 3,5ml/L for GG 1. I'll get the repair mastic tomorrow and start to think of smart damages 😱
Day 94:Watering 4,5 l pH 6,2 with Boost + 1ml/L, inductor R 2ml/L and orga bloom 3,5ml/L for GG 2. The repair mastic was delivered !
Day 95: Watering 5,5 L/plant , pH 6,2 with Boost + 1ml/L for JH 2 , idem with orga bloom 3,5ml/L for both GSC. Tied more branches and accidentally broke the top of a GSC 1 secondary branch.. So I used my mastic and the bud is drying 😎
Day 96: Watering 6,2 L, pH 6,3 with Boost + 1 ml/L for JH 1.
Day 97: Nothing to mention.
Day 98: Watering 4,5 L pH 6,4 with Elycitor 0,4 mg/L, Boost + 1 ml/L and Orga Bloom 4 ml/L for GG 1.
Day 99: first crop on GSC1, GG 1, JH 1 & 2 ( 175, 140, 96 and 240 of wet trimmed buds ). I cut the tallest buds of the concerned plants and this was finally done after I took the day pictures. Trichomes milky with 5/10% amber.
Day 100: Nothing to mention.
Day 101: Watering 4,2 L/ plant, pH 6,4 with Elycitor 0,4 mg/L for GG 2 and both GSC. Despite the carbon filter in the drying net and Onaa little bit everywhere in it's room, the smell of the drying stuff is strong. T° in the drying net room is 18/19¨C, RH in the room 47/53% and 65/80% in the drying net depending on whether if the drying net's ventilation is on or off. I set a timer to have its ventilation running 1 hour in two because I noticed that it dried too fast running 24h/24h. I'll adjust to make sure it doesn't dry too fast.
Day 102: Nothing to mention. I'll let this part of the grow mature more to compare with what's already cut. Btw, i learnt that you can vape fresh buds ! So i spent part of the day alternating mighty and solo 2 to taste : The taste isn't that horrible at all and the effects are smoothly powerfull: I didn't see the day passing by. My favorite has been the GG regarding the effects and GSC for its incredible taste and well I like Jack Herer too ! So all is fine :)
I finally decided to do a short spring run with max 3 weeks of cro and short flowering ( Sugar black rose, sugar black rose early, black domina, critical2,0 +, quick kusk and quick gorilla) with more plants in smaller pots. It could start in +/-10 days and be ready to harvest on the very first days of July. 2,5 g/watt.. possibly 1100 + g / run.. I'm not even sure that I'll reach the g/W this time => spring run in order to have enough medicine to wait for the autumn run end in december.
Day 103: Watering 4,3 liters pH 6,4 with Elycitor 0,4mg/L for JH 2.
Tom
Day 104:Watering 4,3 liters pH 6,4 with Elycitor 0,4mg/L for JH 2. I tasted it: Good and strong for both body and soul. Tomorrow, I'll finish GSC1/GG1 's crop, maybe GSC 2 too.
Day 105: I finished to harvest GSC1 and spent +/- 3 hours to trim the plant. It gave 470 additional grams of wet buds so 645 g in total =>+/- 130 g of dry buds !! Not talking about bags of frosty leaves and micro buds too heavy for my balance. I'm quite happy for this one !
I then tested again a bit of what's still drying and just woke up in my couch a few hours later.. Too late to think of GG 1 or even to take some pictures.
Day 106: Nothing to report. 10th and certainly last week of flowering starting. The smell is deep and strong and fingers sticky in no time but for a long time.
Day 107: Girl scout cookie 2 and bothGorilla glue are ready: Harvest tomorrow.
Day 108 : Both Gorilla glue and GSC 2 harvested. At the end ( not talking of bags of trim and 1,5 g of finger hash):
- GG1 gave 352 g of wet buds ( the 138 g already cut went in to a jar today : 32 g dry) and shoulf end at 80+ g dry.
- GG2 gave243 g of wet buds and should end at 55+ g dry
- GG1 gave 32 g dry from 138 g wet already cut, gave another 214 wet and should end at 80 + g dry
- JH 1 gave 23 g dry from the 97g wet already cut and went in to a jar today at the end it should be 55+g dry
- JH2 gave 60 g dry from the 239 g wet already cut and also went in to a jar. At the end, I forecast 120+ g dry
- GSC 1 +2 gave 1030 g of wet buds and I forecast 240 + of dry stuff from it.
Total should be +/- 550 g of dry buds. I used 450W for 7 weeks, 360 W for 3 weeks, an average of 220 W for the 6 first weeks => an average of +/- 350 W on the run period => 1,6g /W much much better than the best that I had with MH 400W/HPS 600W. It could have been more with better work on my side. I'm still pretty happy😋 .
Next 2/3 coming days I 'll have to harvest the Jack Herer's, clean the tent, air extractor etc start all the seeds for the next run to start next saturday or sunday in order to have it finished for July 1st.
- Day 109: 4,5 L pH 6,2 for JH 2. Moved both plants to the center of the tent.
- Day 110: Both Jack Herer harvested and drying. JH 1 gave another 230 g wet and JH 2 290 g and loads of trim with loads of mini buds. So, JH should end at 65+g dry and JH 2 at 130+ g dry.
Total 570 g + 3,3 g of finger hash + 5 big bags of trim. Thank you the genetics, thank you Spider Farmer !!
I'll create and update the harvest week when everything is dry and after curing.
They missed space not growing as fast ant tall than Girl scout cookies an JackHerer. The changes in smell were very noticeable and intersting.
Nice plant althought its effects makes me a bit too sleepy.
