Ohaio! This is my 4th growth. This time i changed almost everything in my grow set up, which has already led to some issues. (see next week)
So originally I had 2 more seeds from Advanced Seeds, but they did not pop up for 1 week. But I believe that they were too long at the warehouse (it's very cold now).
This time I used paper towels as my mom thought me many ears ago. in 1-2 days they were planted in cups and 1 seed goes directly to the big pot.
Usually, I start directly into a big pot, but this time I have decided to try small cups. Just curious. No reason for this.
This time start was pretty bad. See photos above.
First of all, as I live in a country with super small apartments I had to switch from 80cm box to 60. and new brand soil (not a popular one). previously I used only CANNA terra - zero problems.
I have also changed lights from 5 years old Chinese LEd to custom quantum boards + I bought flower booster pannel.
The first plant looked super weak and on the third day, it just stopped to grow and become "sad" (second photo).
Apparently, this is too hot for them, cause as soon as I fixed the temperature it looked ok. more or less.
So, all in all, today is the 10th day.
i give big girl around 200-300ml per day water around the pot. + PFF PFF water before sleep. others are still under caps with PFF PFF water)))
ps probably I will need a web later. scrog might be good here.
Konbanwa!
It is the second week for the big plant and the first week for the small girls.
I solved the issue - "what was wrong with them" - HUMIDITY.
if u take a look at the first week, u can see a big difference.
So I give them around 250ml-500ml of pure water.
I spray them before sleep with magnesium water. No fertilizers till the end of 3rd week at least.
Now the only issue I have, is that at night temp at some moment of time falls to 18. but I believe that it happens not longer than one hour.
Is it me or they are a little bit pale? I don't know.
Ohaio!
Its been 3 weeks for big girl and 2 weeks for small girls.
3rd week
I water them day after day with 500-700ml of water
During the week i gave them enzyms
I have transplant small girl from the cup to the big pot - result was in the next day. looks much healthy.
I do not give them any nutriens yet, as my soil must be pretty hot. next week i will start with 50% of veg nutes.
I spray them every day before sleep with 2% magnesium water. I wonder, my middle babe leaves looks strange, maybe too much magnesium. so i decided to stop giving them magnesium every day. maybe once a week is enough.
Branches are pretty short for the LST or something, so i lightly bend them to the the light for the hidden ones))
I also put my CO2 pack. last time it game me a huge plant with massive buds. lets tale a look what is going to be now.
So based on the calendar its the 4th week but consider a super slow start they are at the 3rd now.
Anyway:
Gave them once 3ml of Canna Terra Veg, next day white tips on the leaf. amazing) so the next water I gave her enzyme and the after pure water. i don't think I ever give them any N boost again as the soil is STILL pretty hot.
The biggest girl entering the PRE-flower stage. So I have defiliate her a little, I will do one more in 3-4 days.
I stretched them all LST. so maybe this time my yield is going to be ok. cause at the beginning I was pretty pessimistic.
I will set up additional QB light - another 40-60w panel for flowering.
I water them day after day with 1l of water ph 6.3-6.7.
So it's a Flowering Stage! Woooo! They are super short but I must say they are very bushy as well and they look very potential.
I added a flowering booster panel!)) see the photo
I started to give them Canna Flower, probably later this week I will give them the last Enzym. As far as I understood, 99% I don't need any Veg Stage nutrients at all. Any power soil is enough.
According to my calendar its a 34th day today, so I assume around 60 days more from now.
I also defoliate them slowly I have done defoliation before, I think it's super effective. later I will remove everything below the sweet zone.
p.s. NYC diesel has already a SUPER STRONG smell...
So its a second week ok flowering for the big girl, and the first week for the rest two girls.
I had an issue several days ago, suddenly one stem (longest one) become droopy after 40h after watering. Then I have figured out that my temp is very high and probably I have not tofeed them with nutrients properly. The next day I gave them 10ml of CANNA VEG and 30ml of FLOWER CANNA mixed in 5lt of water.
So no I defoliate them slowly, the big girl has Sativa dominant so she is not so bushy, but the 3rd girl needs more defoliation later IMHO.
Today FRIDAY and I gave them the last pure water with an enzyme, so on Sunday, i will smash them with a PK booster and a full dosage of CANNA Flower.
7th week - idk, look healthy, drink water properly, but super slow bud formation. honestly, I don't see much difference in one week. let see...
So I gave them many CANNA flora and a decent amount of Atami Blossom builder.
It's pretty hot sometimes in my tent - around 30C. i hope it's not the issue, I mean it's never above 30,2. (and 80% of the time it's 26)
I have also decided to change time from 20/4 to 18/6.
So it's a week NAMBA 8! (usually i post at fridays, but i go Fuji san so no time!
- Did a notable defoliation ysrtd. They reacted VERY good. Probably because of fresh air circulation.
- My original way of feeding is NUTES WATER WATER NUTES or NUTES WATER NUTES, but this time they respond very good so do NUTES NUTES WATER NUTES NUTES WATER. But I definitely should buy CalMag next time...
- I will hold them longer than I expect, as I want FAT buds)
p.s. my temp is 29-30....i cant reduce it without freezing my pots...fuck.
So it's a DAY 63 after seed and almost the 5th week of flowering.
Today probably I gave to main girls the last feedings (booster and canna Flores) - the next two weeks flushing.
The other girl is 1-2 weeks late, and she is just forming buds.
Basically, nothing to tell, they grow well. I water them like this: watering then two days dry, then watering, then again. I give them nutes twice then pure water, then two days nutes then one day water.
I have changed the bloom booster's position, put it vertically - to penetrate the lower level of buds. I noticed this lamp is very nice, next time needed proper SCROG. 100%.
day 69
NYC Diesel goes to flush
Auto Shark goes to flush
Based on my investigation (magnifying lens) 2-4% of trichomes are amber. So I assume in 10 days I will CUT THEM.
I hope that the third girl will be at least 70% ready to harvest.
All last year I was smoking Afghani...I am tired of indica. Really looking for these girls.
I have an issue with the heat, sometimes it's 31 degrees...like for 1-2h a day, the rest of the day it's 28. I am glad I don't have a photoperiod for this new small grow tent. anyway next time I will start to grow winter time.
I am concerned that they are not so smelly, but SUPER sticky and smell on the hand like fadfkreogh9743rhg erjg8 54ytu54ug98hv45wo g54 ))))))))))))
Good luck everyone. Golden week is coming)))
I have harvested two plants!!! WOOOW! Some buds are super dense)) I have trimmed them ( I have tried both dry and wet and fuck dry trimming - never again)))
So there is one girl left. She is in a box, so I had to improvise with the drying box - I bought a wardrobe box (for moving your suits and other expensive shit),and put the small fan on top of it at slow speed.
I hope third plant will be ready next week. its getting very hot inside our apartment, and it's hard to control temp now...
Anyway. Super happy)) YATTA!
p.s. i was flushing them with cannazym and i don't have photos but they turned yellow pretty quickly)) so i recommend u to flush with enzyme)
Overall I have finished in 89 days. Northern light was the longest one. Despite the difficulties in the beginning I have my 160gram from three plants. i know its not much, but it was honest work. please ask me any questions if needed. I open to comments!
