The first grow of 21, pure AF

first week went by and 6 out of 10 seeds germinated. I was a little surprised that not all GG came up, but 3 out of 4 is acceptable. Since I have not previously tried to grow GB, I do not know what to expect from them. but 1 in 3 are not numbers I am used to in my sprouts, which are usually around 99.3% success. as I said after 3 seeds were sown, so we would like to get a full house in a few days. I got myself together and bought a Cli-mate and am happy to feel it in operation. the noise from the fans in and out has dropped 5-6 db after they have been connected to it and I expect this to happen when I get the 3 internal fans on it as well. then we have to see what difference it makes in the long run. 06-01 since I have 4 lamps, two exhaust fans, 1 intake fan and 3 internal fans, 1 humidifier and 1 dehumidifier, it seemed obvious to me to get it all put together under the same clock. the only minus is that it cannot regulate CO2. I'm curious if the electricity bill will be smaller after the panel has come up :) update 11-01 the last GG came up so their account called 4/5 came up. GB is 2 out of 5 come up and WC 3/3. I'll probably try one more time with a GB and see if I can get it started in the last pot. the germ plants that have come up look healthy and are already taking root. each of those who had come up, got a little wake up to the ground in the form of a pint 1350 ppm (2 ml. per l. grow, fishmix, activivera and bio-heaven.) which would like to set more pace in life in the pot. otherwise the plan is that they will get one more potion in a few days and then I will raise the amount of fertilizer the races as they grow up. 12-01 today I have sown 1 GB so the account for it is 5/2 and it will be the last attempt to get the last pot started. the others are all well run and I plan to give them a thin soup as last, so I get life in the soil awakened well before the plants really start to grow

13-01 the plants that have come up look healthy and I raise the light time to 20/4 so they can take advantage of the climate in the tent. I have had to activate my humidifier, to be able to keep a humidity around the 50% and so far it is not necessary to add extra CO2 as it fluctuates between 900 and 1200 and that was what I calculated when I mixed the soil, that the one from the decomposition of the old root network releases CO2 into the air and I save adding and the pots fluctuate between 23 and 24 degrees night / day so they do not burn together or get over produced CO2. everyone got a half liter of 1350 ppm fertilizer / soil improvers and they get a potion similar to in 4 days before more funds start to come into the brew. i reckon i would only do a little topping and a bit of lolly popping, but otherwise just let them handle most things themselves. my experience from last grow with GG, was that the plants I had done the least with were actually the ones that gave the greatest yield, so for the most part I will try to keep my fingers off them. 17-01 I have today added 1 liter with a line value of 1000 ppm to each of the pots. I thought it was a bit high for the variety, glueberry in so far only 2 out of 6 seeds, I hope well those that are running are worth the experience. I watch a little over the last pot, where today I thought I could see a frog on its way up, with one sprout on its way down and the other on its way up, so I give it a few more days before I give it up. otherwise I will say that I have a good feeling for this grow, about the yield. I have set myself a cut of 100 g per plant as a goal. in the last grow with auto plants (GG) gave an average of 66 g per plant, with 85.5 g. as the highest score and 53 g. as the lowest. the difference in yield I expect will come from the fact that these plants get more bright hours, until further 20/4 and I raise the hours to 22/2 in the flowering phase. The CO2 is around 1000 ppm in this phase and in the flower phase I raise it to 1200 ppm CO2, the light is currently at 1100 Umol per. SEC. pr. sqm. and it will in the flower phase come up to 1200 Umol ect. ect. Then it will be so exciting if my strategy will pay off :) I have taken the tops of the 3 WC, they are already well on their way with their side shots, but more shots the more tops

GB only the 2 sprouts came out of 6 seeds, in fact one more came up in the last pot, I unfortunately did not see it fast enough to make a difference. the shell was too hard to break for the sprout and although the pots were slightly watered on the surface, it was not enough to soften the shell. otherwise one has to say that the grow run regularly and as expected. I'm glad to see that WC has started, it bodes well for the next phase. The 2 GB is on its way, one is a week younger than the others, so it will probably come after that with the height and volume. GG I do not do much with, as I am afraid that my fingers make more shit than layer cake, as long as the plants are so small. 21-01 in order not to burn the plants, I have today introduced the rest of the bio bizz products and chose to give them half a liter per. pot with a line value of 1180 ppm. the pots were too heavy for me to dare to give them more than half a liter and the plan is for them to be nourished every 4 days with a rising curve in the amount of funds until week 7 where I start the end flush. 25-01 the plants have today received 1 liter of fertilizer / soil improvers, with a line value of 1710 ppm each. The GGs are slowly starting to stretch and the WCs are still the most active in their grow, but we do not let ourselves be fooled, as even a few weeks of growth can change it all. I have now raised the light to 70 cm above the canopy, to force the lowest plants to stretch as well.

The CO2 level had dropped to 500 ppm in the tent, so I have started to add a little extra, to maintain a CO2 of 900 ppm and the lamps have been raised to 70 cm above the canopy to force them into a larger stretch, here first in the flowering. they are as seen in the pictures fine close, so it will only be an advantage if they got a 40 to 60 cm more over the next 4 weeks, so that air and light can get further down. I have decided not to do more with the GGs, as they certainly did not like to be topped, but now that they have started again, they just get a little extra to live on. Since I know from last grow that they can tolerate getting a lot of fertilizer at a time and without problems all the way up to 2200 ppm and deliver thereafter. The 3 WCs I will probably have to thin a little along the way, but otherwise I will just consider their way of developing, so I have something experienced for later grows. 29-01 the plants have today received 1 l. Fertilizer / soil improvers with a line value of 1701 ppm

02-02 Today the pots got 1 l. 1880 ppm fertilizer / soil improvement agents. The 3 WCs have become 38 cm on average and the other 2 varieties barely as high 28 to 32 cm. Scent has started to come from WC and GG. I now let the light swing between 60 and 70 cm above the canopy to get them stretched up to a better height. 06-02 The GGs are 40 cm, the GB 40 and the WC are 48 cm. Each pot has today received 1 l. Fertilizer / soil improvement agents with a line value of 2280 ppm. It is my experience that especially GG can take nice amounts of fertilizer, I choose to give them as much fertilizer as possible and so far I have only seen small spots after the heavy amount, so I expect strong growth the next 2 weeks and certainly also a bit into the end flush. The CO2 level fluctuates between 850 to 1280 ppm, so I think the plant runs to give maximum yield.

13-02 today I have added 1 l. of fertilizer / soil improvement agents with a line value of 1200 ppm. so far is only one plant (1 GG) which is more easily affected by the amount of fertilizer and has deposited a few spots on the leaves, but no worse than it gets over it. the rest are really strong and have set aside a lot of top shots. I expect it was the last time the GGs got the fishmix as they don’t really stretch anymore and I want the plants to concentrate on putting flowers off. The toilets are still stretching and I get to do a little lollipop and Defoliation so they get the lowest 10-15 cm free, so there is better air circulation around the plants. The cups are really grateful plants to work with and they are about to be as powerful as the WCs. they will also get some flea popping and defoliation done. I have chosen to do as little as possible with the GGs, as it is my experience that the less you tinker with them, the greater the benefits they give. The GGs are about 40 cm and are, as I said, almost kept stretching. The BGs are 60 and 55 cm and the 3 WCs between 60 and 55 cm.

17-02 I have today given the plants 1 l. of fertilizer with a wire value of 2000 ppm. since none of the plants stretch, I am from today not giving them more fishmix and replacing it with grow as I want the plants to dedicate them to flower production. The GGs are stopped between 40 to 45 cm, both the WCs and the GBs are around 60-65 cm. I have chosen that I only lightly thin out the lower side shoots and let them retain as much leaf material as possible, to ensure that there is maximum sugar production from the leaves, so I for utilized as much CO2 as possible. CO2 is between 800 and up to 1300 ppm. Since they are 7 weeks old today, it was the last time that the GGs got feed and they only get water from here. The WCs and GBs get 1 to 2 times more feed before they also go into the final flush. 21-02 the 3 WCs today received 1 l. of fertilizer / soil improvers with a line value of 2200 ppm. The WCs must have fertilizer for at least 2 more weeks, so there is a good chance of a really nice harvest compared to the other 2 varieties. for the 4 GGs I must say that it has surprised me a lot that no more flowers can be drawn than as in the first experiment with GG. in the previous grow I had 6 plants with me and the dried weight was between 53 and 86 grams. the average of the 6 plants was 66 grams per plant and I have expected in this grow, to get an average of about 80 grams per plant. it does not seem to hold water and I think the average will be as in the previous grow. I know then with myself, I never really become a fan of autoflowers, I feel like something is missing something essential, like normal plants, absence of stress. I suffer a bit from ptsd and the fact that there are only AF plants in the tent, I have been able to feel a clear difference, compared to the previous grow where half of the plants were normal plants and the whole grow stretched from August to the end of December. due to the normal plants I chose to run 18/6 with the light, which had the dull effect on the GGs that they were only ready for harvest after a little over 11 weeks and the flowering phase was delayed by almost 3 weeks for the normal plants. You can see the past in my first diaries. on the other hand, both the WCs and the 2 GBs look really promising and seem to like that I do not peel too much into them and have started to develop their flowers. The GGs and GBs should be close to harvest. but since they have only got 20/4 in light, I expect them to be ready in 2 to 3 weeks from now and probably up to 5 weeks before the WCs are ready for harvest. my spring I start around 1-4-21 and the plants that need to go out (normal varieties) + the ones that need to be in the tent and they are then allowed to divide the tent into soil and the weather is warm enough for planting I think it will be 10 plants divided into 3 maybe 4 varieties. 4 for the tent and 6 planting in the garden.

25-02 the week's over writing must be: it does not always go as the pastor preaches. The WCs have today received 1 l. Of fertilizer / soil improvers with a wire value of 1880 ppm. The WCs must be nourished 2-3 times more before they also go into the end flush. I had expected to be able to raise the yield on the GGs, but as it seems so far, I expect a yield as the first grow of GG (66 g. on average over 6 plants). The GGs are reaching the final stage of the flush and I expect them to be harvested within the next 10 days. What the GGs have not been able to perform, the 2 other varieties, on the other hand, seem to be able to, they are really nice and almost compact in their canopy, despite the fact that I go daily and remove yellowed or withered and strategic leaves, so the light still penetrates deep into the plants. the pots are completely emptied of CO2 and I have a hard time keeping it above 600 ppm as has got a luxury problem with heat. we have lately been flooded with hot weather (10-12 degrees Celsius) which causes the heat in the tent to quickly rise to 30-31 degrees just above the canopy and with an air humidity around 40%, I have to add moisture to the air and about 5 times a day open the tent up and release the excess heat. with the disadvantage that both the humidity and the temperature are constantly fluctuating between 24 and 30 degrees and between 40 and 55% humidity in the tent. it is not optimal and I have to solve the problem before I start the next grow in April. 01-03 the 3 WCs have today received 1 l. of fertilizer / soil improvers with a line value of 2120 ppm and they get a potion similar to in 4 days and with that they should also be ready end flush. The GGs draw time by the fact that there are still too many clear tricums, but I still expect to harvest the first of them up by the weekend, as they have otherwise begun to show signs of maturing. The GBs are still very fresh and still very green, so I'm starting to think I might have been a little too quick to send them in the end flush. but according to the plan, they should be harvest ready within the next few weeks. it's always a hell of a patience to wait for them to finish, but it's usually worth the wait to wait.

one feels in between that it takes an eternity to get the plants mature. but it tends to be able to respond, to show patience in this phase. GGs I expect the first 2 ready within a week and the other 2 just get the time they want. The GBs are still very fresh, so for them I count 10 days +. The WCs have started to show signs of wanting to mature, so I have chosen that they get the end flush, here from and onwards, I count them 14 days + for harvest.

this report only applies to wedding cake and glueberry. we have just gone into 10 week and the last 2 of gorilla glue are just about to dry. (there will be a separate report on the GGs) the 3 WCs seem to be the ones that will be ready like the next ones and I guess 6-7 more days will make them ready. The GBs are fantastic to say the least, they are totally fresh green and fresh flowers and that despite the fact that they were put in the end flush 3 weeks ago, so we are probably out about 2 weeks ahead in time before they are ready. both varieties seem to give a satisfactory result and I guess each plant is going to give about 100 g. per plant.

will be updated with facts about dried weight, when I get so far in the process today 11/3 the last 2 plants are laid to dry and I expect 11-12 days at least before they are ready to come on glass. the accounts of gorilla glue. GG1: 51.5 g GG2: 50.6 g GG3: 55.4 g GG4: 39.8 g total: 197.3 g all in all a thin cup of tea. but when the plants do not grow more than 40 cm tall, it must be a fair harvest, without being showy. the buds are much more loose in structure this time. luckily I have saved my data from the previous grow so I should fairly easily get a glimpse of what I did differently this time.

11 weeks have passed today since I started this grow up. The GGs are still lying to dry and I expect they are ready to come on glass in 3-4 days. Weddig cake seems to be finished like the next ones and I expect to put them in the dark in 4-5 days. Glueberry has slowly started to show signs of its autumn, but still looks very nice green in its canopy and it would not surprise me if they need up to 14 weeks to be finished. at least they just get their time. this harvest should be my supply until the harvest in septemper and i am considering narrowing myself down to a summer grow in the tent and then only starting a new one up again in august with harvest around 1 dec. the last auto flower seeds are sown outdoors in early June, with expected harvest around the end of aug.

i have it like kids have it up for christmas. it's hard to wait to get a taste of these herbs. we are also approaching, after 12 weeks of growth and autumn the colors of the leaves and the magnifying glass still show many clear crystals. but I think all three are ready within the next week. otherwise I have to say that especially the 2 varieties here GB and WC have been a pleasure to cultivate and certainly not the last time they will be found in my grow tent

it is then the last 2 plants of this grow, both GBs, the reddish has 5-6 days until it is ready for darkroom, the light green should at least take more than a week, probably closer to 2. the 2 of the wcers have come on glass and is in cureing. they develop a mild sweet scent that becomes exciting to taste.

the last GB is about to be ready to go in the dark a couple of days before I harvest her, luckily I had planned the growet to be over now, as in a 3 weeks I will start my outdoor grow in the tent, at the same time, that my clones are growing up to be put into flower.

it has been fun to grow WC and it is the variety that ends up as the high jumper in terms of finished dried herb with 243.3 grams and all the sown seeds came out. so all in all a satisfactory result.

it is with mixed feelings that I recount this grow. the fact that only 2 sprouts came out of 5 seeds makes me not happy with those seeds. but having said that I must admit that it is an exciting plant to go and watch grow up. these are really solid plants that easily carry its crown without the need for support. the buds are powerful and very compact, I have been able to taste everything from a sweet taste to the taste of diesel that has not been properly burned off. diesel is not a favorite taste, but for a change from the 2 other varieties of Gorilla glue and wedding cake, it is a fresh touch and the effect I must say is the beats. a strong calm sinks in the body and you are set in a comfortable buzz while having a slightly lifted mood.
