started to soak in water January 18 after dinner for about 24 hours . then straight into coco pot with Pro Mix HP . took 1.5 days to pop out of the dirt . used well water only PH of 6.5 . I did not adjust PH this is what it comes out as . lights are on 50 % power so 225 watts . this plant will be part of my next crop so has 3 more months of Veg . I will cut clones when I train it at later dates and give them to friends . I will go over all Training I use . start of week two is start of training . I try to De leaf and train about once a week . I am doing 6 main Branches . this seed was a mutant close to twice the size of any seed I have seen before just huge . couldn't help but plant it I am learning so I experiment . I am far from a professional or expert . the feeding program linked is an old GH chart with a few modifications . I ran out of Floral Nectar Fruit Fusion in the last weeks and purchased BUD Candy and Fruit Fusion so this is changed on this chart to , The Fruit Fusion made some of the best tasting and smelling weed I have had this change is an attempt to increase yield on the next crop . I would recommend Fruit Fusion if you want some very tasty good weed and I will go back to it for the last 3 weeks of my next cycle this was a choice due to reading others using the two in this order . some of the products I didn't like so will be changing them for the bud cycle mainly dry Kool Bloom I found it very hard to mix into my reservoir and will not be using it again . I will be using Advanced Nuits BIG BUD and Over Drive instead of Kool Bloom . I have not used this product before so can not say if it will be better last 4 plants netted me off this feeding program 730 grams of Quad A in a 5x5 tent . but I burned the leaf's with the dry Kool Bloom as it had settled to much to bottom of my tank and was pumped up I feel this cost me in the most important time of my cycle the last 3 weeks . the plants are all in dirt I just use a bottom feed water pump and some irrigation line and a wifi plug and camera so when I am away for work I can water
After a day or so I put it into a mini DWC ( experiment ) with Clonex and Vitathrive in very small amounts (hand poured) but about 2-3 ml of each per gallon . this is on day two of sprouting as well as the rest are auto's so had to be very careful .
really explosive growth for week two . I was away at the start but I could see the camera and take pictures . little to humid under the dome leaves all yellowed but dam did this girl photoperiod Citrus Skunk shoot up . I have been experimenting to find a good way to grow roots on my autos and not start in a large pot . why the coco pot DWC and Clonex and Vitathrive . the thought was that the water would soften the coco pot . letting more roots out easier , I had tried them before and found they restricted the root growth of my Autos to much . this time I have really good roots out the side and bottom . on day 10 I replaced the water with a full expert regime of General Hydroponics as well as a lot of additives not from GH listed above . I used a week one GH chart mixed at 25 % to not hurt the Autos in with it . on day 12 I used a mix of Diamond Nectar , Floralicous plus , Clonex and Vitathrive as transplant food PH was 6 naturally so did not adjust . I live in Canada so can not purchase Armor Si so I use Other Silica this grow is Rhino Skin so far . other then the very start and start of bud I substitute Clonex for Rapid Start as it is the same thing just better , if read ingredients . I do like to mix the two at the start of Veg , or just use Rapid Start for start of budding phase as it is a little different barley and cost 100 x more .
lights turned up to 65 % , day 14 She is a beast with 4 sets of branches she has been topped bottom set Branches removed and DE leafed . I will train the 6 Branches out in an Umbrella each with even spacing from the others , for now she will be left to grow . started on normal food week two early growth GH Expert program full dose . plus F1 Fuel and Vitathrive . Substituted Rhino Skin for Armor Si and Clonex for Rapid Start . as well as used a foliar spray of F2 Foliar . at the end of the week I turned the lights back down to 50 %
I have been away for the last week had a friend come over and turn her for me should be home in a day or two feb 10 2021 . it is cold this week temps are way down .
Feb 12 2021 home De leafed and LST . I used 2 plastic sticks , bamboo anything works . I use a leather hole punch to punch holes in my cloth pots . I use pipe cleaners as tie downs . as you can see I made an off X for the longer lower branches and just tied them down with pipe cleaners to the plastic sticks . the top two I just used pipe cleaners pulling them over to keep a nice even space between my 6 branches . I removed all leaf's that cover the inner part of the plant to allow light to inner nodes and some of the old large fan leaf's but not all . I noticed that the plant is starting to grow branch sets in threes just like real Chemo used to think this might be a special plant . so on the ones I bent over is two nodes up and one down . instead of two fan leaves I had three and three nodes at the same points . really cold snap here temps have been down to about 60-65 F Humidity way down due to this to 55% trying to keep a stable temperature but with -C temperatures I can not stuff is growing a bit slow this week .
day 31 I did some De Leafing and LST all I did was adjust the tie downs to keep my main branches in an even spread as well as low and out . this opens more surface area to allow an even top of colas I removed all inner leaf's that block light and air flow to the middle of the plant . Temps are climbing steady so back up going well
plant is doing great I am doing my best with being away for work to take a daily picture some times I miss others I am close to the end of the day so try to say . I will try and fill in all information over time . I do not bother with plant height as what is the point I am training it pulling it down every week so it shrinks and grows weekly . I will start to add width of its canopy soon once home tomorrow after LST .
heavy training after which plant is about 20" inches round . it is close to the edge or at the edge of all 2' stakes , camera angles are deceiving . it will be one of 4 in a 5x5 outside tent with spring here . 6 or so weeks of veg left then 12/12 see how big she gets lol . I have to say this plant stinks and not like Citrus weed like it came from . it smells worse then any Skunk cabbage or Blue cheese already when removing leaf's , she also is showing signs now of sex she is a female :) was pretty sure it would be from the start but never know with random single seeds you get in a bag of weed . in most cases it will have been the breeder seeding a lower branch and getting a speak of pollen higher up or maybe a hermi that got a speck of pollen on the budding plant . in both those cases it will be female 99.8 % of the time and then if was from a male 50 % so you are playing the higher odds for sure even if it was an unlucky male its still a good chance . now a little about hermaphrodite plants . plants will actually do this in most cases any plant if stressed the right way . some will do it naturally and these are to be avoided as have a high chance to pass this gen on . now if its a plant you make go hermaphrodite with hard work or Silver then it is not likely that the plant will do so again unless put in similar situation . conclusion try to not stress your plants or you could end up with pollen from any strain or breeder . you are best to use silver it is easy and works well if want seeds as stressing your plants is not a guarantee as well as can create deficiencies in the plant that it could pass on . that said the plant could also act favorably to the stress and become more resistant as well as the seeds . this is how you would build up resistances in your breed . you would stress the plants and which one handles it favorably actually becomes more resistant and so do its seeds . still best to avoid stress that makes flowers as this is not favorable and the seed will have a higher chance when stressed the same to flower again . now if you find a plant that is super resistant to mold or mildew or just seems special you can use silver on it to have it pass down these traits to its seeds
had some issues with the camera :( missed a bunch. Inside the tent the lights are turned up now 100 % on low one away from Veggies , and 75 % on higher one close to Veggies 400-420 watts about now . Monday march 22 2021 camera is back working again for whatever reason :) . full boat Veggies, it is still cold so my fans are turned way down so very humid but all is good plants will be ok plus they were to big for the small trailer washroom I had them in for winter , just over 5 weeks and I will put these 4 into bud 1 of which is the CS it is growing fast should be home tomorrow to de leaf . got home after a look . decided to not remove the leaves I want some extra stretch I think at this point , by not removing the leafs at this point I force the inner lower branches to stretch for light making them grow up to reach the top canopy . while the top canopy gets lots of light so is not reaching . to help shape them , the extra stretch will give me a larger more even canopy or more of a mess if you don't tie it all down , I will force a net onto these all at some point as the number of tie downs will become to much work .
all going great missed a day little overworked and just missed it , :( my pumpkin had an issue but new growth is looking great . got humidity barley back under control turned fans up a little , no more moisture on walls ranging 80-90 now temps a couple C up , light over Veggies was light tested to strong and turned down to 50% for now . just incase anyone wonders I have a 25 dollar wifi camera and a 30 dollar pack of wifi sockets and 50 dollar 1 wifi dimmer . with this I can see take pictures , turn on or off many things aka a water heater , small water pump with irrigation line to water , my lights and adjust my intake fan the outtake has a computer control and is set to turn on once reaches a set extreme temp or humidity . I am away for work most the time right now. I am not using the water system as the plants due to cold, size, humidity, many reasons are not drinking enough . but I can and later once in BUD will be watering this way once they need water every day or two . so for 100 dollars I can now control my hole room from away on my Computer or Phone like right now and load pictures to my diary . We all can not be home when needed every day but most of us can jump on our phone for 5 minutes . Monday march 29 2021 power went out due to high winds last night . I really hope they dont flip is cold and damp and now power went out and they are mature it can happen just like that or not at all cross fingers probably wont with just the once , I have planned to get LED solar night lights so when power goes out they kick on and then recharge from the LED grow lights I have not got them yet everything adds up life is not cheap
please Check HAM Diary for more pictures and info will add a few more individual pictures here taken from Phone later , but group pictures have only been added to HAM Diary now . this plant ended up being the smallest yield of all 4 but is super sticky stinky tasty chronic . end weight dry after some already smoked and given away 100 grams
