Paper towel in ziplock bag method.
First seed went wrong.
Added small video today of the seedling going into the soil.
Almost dropped my phone during recording, yes, you can laugh.
Into week 4 and they have blew up on me again. #2 still lagging behind but showing new growth at a decent pace. I think she will be the black sheep of this grow.
So far I have performed another round of topping and very lite defoliation. (Can i get more aggressive anything under the main canopy?
Watered them in with dechlorinated 6.8pH tap water. I think I may have to think about when to start top dressing them. Maybe 2 more weeks? Lol
Also noted that I they are starting to suck up allot of water! May have to start wetting out the whole pot now and see how they respond. So far its a garentee to water them ever 3-4 days. Now getting much closer to 3.
Hope you guys enjoy the video commentary and photos. I'm a bit lazy and maybe one day put a little more effort to taking better photos with my phone.
Cheers
D109/F57: bud washing right after cutting
3*12L buckets
- 1 with 100g lemon juice and 100g baking soda
- 2 with plain water for rinsing
30 seconds in each bucket and then a lot of ventilation to remove excessive moisture.
Quite happy with this technique: So many fungus gnats and dust/hair caught.
I'll have to watch out for mold very frequently and carefully.
1) Fan full blast for 4 hours to reduce moisture induced by bud washing
2) Then put in tent with exhaust fan at minimum power
Temp is 18-19掳C and RH 60-62%
I鈥檓 quite surprised as to how well these girls are looking and smelling!! They鈥檙e quality genetics but i also believe every strain will provide pros and cons during the grow. This one particularity has been quite the learning experience. Cannabis is quite the resilient plant and I definitely like growing them. As far as this week goes they鈥檙e definitely producing more trichomes and resin glands and appears there鈥檚 no more stretch from the plant. No more new growth even small amounts hidden within the canopy. I did a little flush earlier this week and it made the tips of what fan leaves turn yellowish so it def means we鈥檙e getting close to the end. Prob got another 2 weeks before I fully flush for Atleast a week then pulling them down. The trichs will be the ultimate deciding factor. I鈥檒l pull when i see the first sign as I like more of a heady high than a couch-lock with little to none clear. Well till next week y鈥檃ll happy growin and hopefully ya had a good thanksgiving
Brutal nuggets, you can see those diamonds shining, very compact, sticky, full of trichomes and a beautiful fragrance, I've enjoyed this strain so much guys, very special, I can recommend this strain if you want top quality fast!
Did LST and topped Pheno 1 & 2, 3 is too funky to mess with. I think PH was just my issue and possible too high intensity light as I lowered to 60%, but also brought my PH to 6.5 so I'm guessing that helped too.
Finally got the time to sit down to do some maintenance and training on this girl馃檶
It was a wet and rainy Sunday on 7/25 so we pushed back our Farmers Market a day and I got to get soaked in the garden馃槄
Cleaned up the interior, removing discolored fan leaves that weren't getting enough light and small branches growing inward that wouldn't amount to much.
Then I did some LST with 4' Bamboo stakes and PGarden EZ Soft Plant Ties. I staked 4 main branches to open up the interior for better light penetration and air circulation馃憤
When it was all said and done I brought the trim back down to the barn as a treat for my horse Kestrel, he loves snacking on trim leaves!
I also switched the the Neptune's Harvest Rose and Flowering as we're approaching flowering time and also gave them some good old fashioned Crosby's Molasses to get those sugars going!
Happy New to everyone sad to say I鈥檓 going through a tough time with the girls grow has seems to slow down since I began training week 3. FBTF 1 is showing preflower
The new growth on a the girl looks smaller and shriveled on FBTF 1 also Gummy bears , where as cheetah the hut is a (photo period) her leaves are drooping and wrinkled. Which I鈥檝e been seeing for a few days including new more drooping I did top Cheetah the hut would the effect her in this way? I鈥檓 stressing to figure this out
I have added be light which is 230 true watts which I believe cause some heat/light stress also watered with 1 tbsp of molasses per gallon and gave each pant a qtr about 5 days ago.
Recently watered Dec 30 with advanced nutrients 3 part micro grow and bloom a qtr each ph was 6.1 will letting pots dry to figure this out problem
This week was all upgrades and preparing for a 2 week vacation where my gf would need to take care of the plants but that would end to almost killing all of them lol stay tuned.
