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!

Gonna get more clones off bottom growth she seems to clone easily enough.
So maybe mid-week topping, after cuttings.
She is growing fast!

Heeey all!
Sorry for the huge amount of photos but this week was crazy. So many things happened and my lack of knowledge clearly showed up. I ended stressing one of my plants for no reason! 😱
At the start of the week everything was normal until I noticed that one of Roko's buds looked weird. It seemed to be too dry and orange for my tastes and I didn't know what it was. Obviously I started to ask around and I got so many mixed messages haha. Some people said it was nothing and I should not worry about it and others said they were 100% sure it was botrytis or budrot... aaaaaaaand I got paranoid lol. 😵😨
At first I tried to keep calm and ignore it for one day but the next one the bud looked even worse and that's when I feared the worst. What if it's really budrot? In general the values I write in here are approximates or an average of the week.. and usually my tent never goes over 60% of RH (in the dark it stays between 50% to 60% when I water them and on some rare occasions it reaches 65%). This time, after I checked the thermometer it said "75% of RH" but I did not know if it was during their sleep time or maybe some time after the lights went on) so once again I feared the worst! What if the plants stayed all the night with that amount of RH? Was that enough time for them to develop budrot? What if it's still nothing? Yikes. 😭
I had to do something and I did, I wasn't going to risk everything! I started removing the worst looking leaf to see if there was anything mushy or ugly between it and the pistils but I didn't see anything (maybe I was safe and that was something else? Or maybe the budrot was even deeper and I could not see it?) After reading I realized that the best idea was to cut the bud in half and then slice it to "see" if there was anything inside... so I did it and absolutely nothing showed up 😖! Those were good news! Sadly tho the poor plant had to go thru some stress after cutting that bud in half (at least from what I saw the insides were tightly packed and the photos showed some really cool stuff)
The rest of the week was uneventful (compared to what I feared haha) and some leaves started to change even more in color (I love it). I think I'll start with the flush next week or the one after that one. There are some amber trichomes...!
Thanks all for checking my diary! Hopefully you'll all find the pictures interesting!
PD: None of the plants have seeds in them, even when one of the sliced buds seemed to be making them!

I now see the issue of doing multiple strains under one diary. FB Cherry Cola and SS Bruce Banner have shot hairs everywhere while the RQS Weddding Cake is still verging. Top dressed everything with half a cup of worm castings and an eight cup of BAS Craft blend

She is in full bloom mode😁😁😁. Nice tight nodal spacing. Compact plant. Hasn't started to smell yet. I bumped up her nutes to 700ppm. I started some Aurora Innovations nutes. She is a happy plant. I'm excited to see how she fills out.

So this week after I gave it under nutrients I apparently gave it too much nitrogen while having a potassium deficiency. Shiney dark leaves, So i fixed that, but some didn't bounce back, and I tried nitrogen. I think they are doing pretty good considering everything I've put them through SO FAR. lol. Nutrients are NPK Raw's total lineup, follow their instructions at first, Fastbuds adjustments as of this week.

😿 It's been a interesting week, we got some of our color back but I think the old peat in our media is dragging PH down which is likely the cause of the lockout seen one a couple of the girls, we intend on flushing 2 plants later today (we almost never flush) with 3gal each PH'd to 7-7.5 with a mild leaching solution in the last gallon. I really, REALLY hate making PH changes this late in flower but we gotta do what we gotta do...it's definitely not the worst i've seen but if we let them ride like this it will absolutely impact our yield..we can't have that folks lol... we'll update their progress midweek, thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!!!!

😼 we gave the monster Big Bud (not seen) sharing the tent with these girls a good monster cropping today, this allowed us to drop the lights a little over 6inches today ❤️💡🌱..

Alla fine questo feno di CBD auto 20:1 non è riuscito a preservare i tratti della fioritura automatica, evidentemente i geni fotoperiodici sono riusciti ad avere la meglio nella battaglia per la sopravvivenza della specie, non sempre le cose vanno come di progetto! Tanto la tenda sta andando a 12/12 perché ci sono 2 FF e quindi non ci sono problemi per le ragazze! Sto dando sia a lei che a LSD25 da bere separatamente rispetto alle altre perché ognuna ha i suoi tempi per bere e quindi mi sto regolando di conseguenza, la bilancia per pesare i vasi mi sta aiutando…ma guardo anche la forma della pianta ovviamente e se ha sete dovresti riconoscere dall’aspetto un po’ affaticato, ecco fin qui sarebbe meglio non arrivare, per questo ho messo il limite con un peso di 2.1 kg, sotto questo limite vuol dire che devono bere assolutamente! Funziona!

Cette semaine à était très riche en engrais naturelle et en eau !!!!
*Fumier de vache pour les différents apport qu'ajoute cet engrais au fil du temps ,
*Marc de café ,
*Purin d'ortie ,
*Peau de banane
*Cendre de bois
Arrosage tous les jours en petites quantités pour aider à assimiler tous les apports donné
Et voilà que c'est demoiselle ont pris un coup de speed pour la poussée , obligé de continuer le palissage encore à ce stade... Ça grandit , ça grandit !!
Nous sommes fin Juillet , je suis dans l'attente que les jours réduisent pour le passage en floraison naturel grasse à la nuit...
Je ne sais pas si je dois procéder à une grosse défoliation pour les feuilles du dessous sur le principe d'un "Lollipopping" , qu'en dites vous ??
Des avis ?
Des questions ?
Des choses à dire ?
C'est toujours intéressant de discuter sur les différents mode de culture !!

my best harvest to date 🙂
I got 196g dry and cured, of which 85g for the biggest one, the one with only 3 colas; no popcorn bud, and a good general density.
A nice smell, not too strong, but it lasts a long time 😏
I took the 85g of the big one + 90g of leaves (from my numerous haircuts) for a second bubble hash experiment (see vid)
this time I reached a ratio of 7.1%, so not huge, but so good and powerful 🤩
