Seed was put in a glass of water on the 2nd of January 20:00 (8PM). Around 15h later it sunk to the bottom and I transferred it to a wet paper towel inside a zip. Around 51h later (so ~36h inside zip) the seed had not yet opened. I am a little worried, but at the same time not because I've looked up what the pro's say and some of them don't even look at the seed until after the seed has spent at least 48h inside the paper towel. I will be patient and wait for the seed to open. After the seed has opened I will be even more patient and let the root grow for a bit. I have grown 2 of these plants in my lifetime and first time was really good, second time was very bad, and the second time I planted it when the root was ~1mm long. I will not rush things this time. I will also be careful to not let the root grow too long. If I'll have it my way, then I'll be planting this baby tomorrow evening, so in a bit less than 24h from now. If I have to reschedule then it will probably be planted on the 6th of January. Worst case scenario: We have to restart with a new seed. Bless you. Update 5 Jan 2022 17:29 (05:29 PM): We have a root! The seed has opened ever so slightly and the root has grown more and more during today. I want the root to grow a tiny bit longer before I plant it. I will take another look before bedtime. Update 5 Jan 2022 20:43 (08:43 PM): Root has not grown much since the last picture, will plant tomorrow. Update 6 Jan 2022 10:05 (10:05 AM): Will plant later. Root is too short. Update 6 Jan 2022 15:00 (03:00 PM): Root is still shorter than I had in mind but my patience has ran out and I think it is still a fine length for the seed to do really good. I also have very good soil for her with claimed great amount of nutrients for seedlings. When it gets large enough I will transplant her to a 11L pot. The 11L pot has been filled with more than 11L soil. Probably around 15L. By the way, the plant has a name, her name is "Satan" but is referred to as a "she". Update 12 Jan 2022 18:00 (06:00 PM): We have a sprout! I saw the sprout some hours ago. I am sure that I planted the seed quite perfectly in the middle. However, the sprout happened very much to the side. I suspect that there was something in the soil that might blocked the sprout. So far it looks like we planted Satan on the 6th of January and we got a sprout on the 12th. I will consider Satan to be in germination stage until it grows a little more. Then I will treat it like she's in the vegetative phase. ----------------------------- SUMMARY: Day 1-21 in Satans life has been so wonderful. Not a minute goes by without me feeling euphoric about her. Every day when I wake up I go to the grow-room and tell her good morning. I hold her largest leaf between my thumb and index-fingers to hold leaf (hold hand) and we just hold leaf together for a few seconds while I admire her beauty. She is so absolutely gorgeous and kind and she is also very happy with her environment. I already have another plant in another grow-room which also is a Northern Lights and I have kept a diary of her as well, just not on growdiaries.com (everything is kept in a Word-document). This other plant is called Kim, named after Kim Jong-Un. Kim and her diary is going to be utilized as a "roadmap" for Satan, so I should know what to expect and when to expect it. I also did a few mistakes with Kim, such as water too much or let her grow with way too much nitrogen in the air. Satan will instead be the best grow I have ever done - hopefully. I thank you all for reading and joining me on this adventure. Kim and Satan says hello!

Definitely have some deficiencies going on, but she's stacking and pushing. Life's busy, next round will get a little more detail and love.

Week 1 (16/03 - 22/03) D1: prepared a 14 liters pot with a layer of gravel at bottom surronded by light-mix soil by BioBizz. Given her a glass of tap water. At the moment she will stay in the living room near a window prior to move her outside on the balcony. D2: added a support to avoid drop, hoping it will be useless... Given her a glass of tap water in the morning, covered at night. D3: glass of tap water in the morning; out on the balcony in the afternoon for her first sunbath; inside for the night. D4: glass of tap water in the morning. Living room all day. D5: - D6: glass of tap water. D7: -

Man oh man the gp x bkp is taking off like a champ and filling out very nicely now that she's starting to flower 🌼 🌸!!!!! Gp x shb is starting to come back finally and is about to start flowering smells like straight up sour d already!! The gp x bkp is smelling like skunk and fruit I'm super excited for these strains especially after seeing somebody went and tested a few of wicked genetics strains and all of them came out to be 23%thc-27%thc !!! Fricken pumped gary payton is supposed to be a heavy hitter so I cannot freakin wait until both of these are finished

Se comienzan a ver los tonos morados/rojizos de esta cepa tan hermosa de Sweet Seeds, vamos en la segunda semana de floración y todo bien hasta el momento, van más lentas de lo normal en la floración pero debe ser debido a las bajas temperaturas, aún así sus colores ya se notan en estas 3 nenas. Seguimos ...

So far so good! She didn't get affected by mold whereas two other plants in the room started to show bad signs, I lost two tiny colas but this GBK is safe. Colas are getting almost as big as a soda can. It seems that the foxtailing has stopped so I guess my quantum board was too close, dimming the driver down was the good thing to do. Stay tuned! 😎

They are doing very well and the 2 smaller ones have caught up with their sister. Just gave them a very light tidy up the underside of them. I've done topping and FIMing on all them they are filling out nicely.

So, what's new? water levels seems to be a pain in my assholes that hasn't had a great success, however it matters little becuase roots are very long now so no need for the levels to be even steven, great success. have had some mistakes were the LST was so strong i actually broke one stem and was about to break another but noticed in time and manage to save it been speakign with how weed grow in regards to the grow and so far so good, really recomend his patreon in cae you're seeking peace of mind with your grows. Just recived my SCROG!!!!, so will be managing plant training with the net and also got my new viparspectra 1500xs pro, whatever name is, looks fancy and feels fancy so greta success there too. not much to add other than my mistakes and that it's week 4. wish you all great things with y'all grows, thanks for stopping by.

Hi growers sorry I haven't updated my diary been away on holiday I'm back now and ready to go again. This is day 31 all 3 are growing good they've all started to flower the only problem I have notice since I've been away some of the leafs have started to yellow I've gave them 3 litres of water with 1 ml of big bud , bud candy , rhino skin and 2ml of cal/mag I'm hoping there's enough nitrogen in the cal/mag to turn the leafs back to green I'll update in the next few days I've also cut off a few leafs from the bottoms of the plants. Day 32 quick update all 3 have started to get burn on the tips of the leafs I really didn't want this problem so early on in flower. They have perked up abit but the top leafs are still abit yellow next feed I'm going to add some micro grow and bloom with some cal/mag. Day 34 I gave them 2 litres of water with 2ml of micro grow and bloom the leafs are still abit yellow and I haven't noticed much growth in the last few days I'm hoping there ok I think my pH may be to low with the small branches going purple and the burnt tips I'll update next feed or any problems.

Alots of leaning ladies this week and not enough garden wire to tie all the ladies up, either way the trichomes are looking great and are right where I like them to be. I only weigh 1 plant wet which was the one I processed for hash, which was around 400 grams trimmed. The remaining 3 ladies have a lot of great big. dense buds. The smell is very similar to a citrus cleaner. After about 10 to 14 days we will have these ladies trimmed up and ready for jars. Thanks to all the growmies out there who stopped by, liked and commented! Until the next grow!

Starting week 6 of flower and everything is growing nicely and stinking up the place. This strain is not a huge yielder but it makes up for it in quality! Buds will still bulk up quite a bit in these last few week (she’s goes to 9 weeks). I will be doing 1 more defoliation of some bigger fan leaves that are blocking the light to the lower canopy sometime this week. Other than that the girls are cruising right along.

Plans this week: new bluelab guardian connect coming (ph/ec/temp monitor for the reservoir tank) I think I’ll finally mount things neatly on the wall. More pruning the lower canopy; and some low stress training maybe. I hope the flowers keep maturing and start really gaining some girth this week. I’m excited and hopeful but a bit scared of the pk booster and overall nutrient level/EC increase - I’ll keep watch for nutrient lockout etc. Other: Utility sink/drain/water line install I hope. This grow is taking up all my “project time” - Hopefully I can finally spend some time on my arcade cabinet project starting this week. The plants didn’t get light for 37 hours the other day (6/23?) . I had removed the lights to build the frame. I thought I had everything ready for a quick swap. And then I got sick; daughter’s car broke down; my plan for the light frame wouldn’t work; I ran out of angle aluminum; and did I mention I got sick. Anyway they missed only one 12 hour light period plus 1 extra hour (plus their normal dark periods before and after- so that’s how I calculate 37 hours) They actually seemed to mature and redden a bit faster with the extra darkness. Gotta think positive. Upgraded the tent! (6/24/19) It’s now a hydropolis 3x3 “plus size” (extra few inches bigger all around and 8 inches taller than my old vivosun) - much nicer. Wow what a tough job. Very tight space in my room. This is way too late to be moving plants to a new tent - but sliding the old removable tent bottom with all four plants and scrog all at once over to the new tent wasn’t as bad as I feared. Setting up the whole tent again and moving everything was a pain in the ass though. I did a little pruning of the back side of the plants which I hadn’t gotten to in a while - some dead leaves under the scrog mostly. I wonder if all this trim (from recent days too) is gonna yield any amount of even sorta decent bubble hash. I’ll freeze it and try. I hope they like their new home. I did a lot of the swap and setup with the lights totally off in my basement and using only a green headlamp. Argh. I partially failed in my effort to make a complete aluminum frame. I didn’t include the 4 solstix in the frame. But I did make a frame for the two HLG 135s - I re-hung the solstix individually and with their lame individual drivers that are underpowered (I’ll get to the the rewiring and driver replacement one of these days)- I added the far red puck, and I finally added the new HLG QB36 UVA (I’ll try it for the first time tomorrow - with sunglasses on!) - update: tried it. Seems pretty sweet - wish I had some directions or some idea if I should only be using only one stick like I am or the entire 4 that I think they sent me in error. I’ve got a reasonable amount of space between my lights and top of canopy now (15+ inches) - if the damn stretch is finally done I might be ok. I really shoulda flipped sooner like everyone warned me. Live and learn. The utility sink/drain line/water line is still not installed - so I’m still carrying water up and down stairs which sucks. I’ll use pk13/14 this week after this rez tank empties and I give it a good cleaning in a day or so. I’ll also continue to use mammoth p and all the other nutes. - ok tank cleaned and making a new soup for feeding later today (pk 13/14 started on 6/25/19 11:30pm - I plan to use it for 7 days??) I changed the drain/waste bucket to a small bin - and placed it inside the tent — it works well with the condensate pump- so tomorrow I’ll drill holes in it, install grommets and run the drain lines to it permanently - which will be much better than the 5 gallon bucket sitting outside the tent in my small space - plus the gravity drain lines were a pain coming out of the tent and I had to weigh them down to keep their height below 2.5” - now it’ll be just one pumped line. - ok done. I drilled a bit too fast and cracked two of the holes. Siliconed it for now- I’ll replace the little bucket this week or next - it’s fine for now. (6/25/19) So much better! - now no more gallons of water weighing down the drain lines and no more drain lines coming out of the tent - except for the single pumped line that goes out the standard tent hole. And so much neater in the tent etc. Woot!

I had to break the whole grow down and put it in the new tent. Did some revising of the overall layout of the tent. Bought some pot stands so the bottoms of the smart pots could get more air. They have the tendency to get boggy at the bottoms despite a layer of perlite at the bottom. I dropped the light about 10 inches and I scorched one of the fan leaves on the GG#4. I raised the light back to the max height after this occurred and the plant compensated well. To counter the slightly high temps I put an oscillating fan in the tent and used the other fans to displace hot air up towards the exhaust. The Green Crack seems like it lagged slightly behind the GG#4. I suspect this is due to root propagation, it seems like it is ready to explode. I'm giving consideration to topping the GG#4. Will start LST soon. It is on its 3rd to 4th node and is bushy as hell.
