Thank you. Growing cannabis is an art that seems to evolve as you learn it. While it may only take a little knowledge to get started, It seems that this may take a life-time to perfect (doubt I'll ever make that category, but I will certainly try). So thank-you to the community that Shares, Comments, Follows, and Likes. Your efforts in any of these actions make these journals a worth-while and perfect way for us all to learn and track our efforts. I personally appreciate it. Also a huge Thanks has to go out to Grow Diaries for making this community even possible. Your efforts to supply the data storage alone is more than enough, but you the fact that you dont stop there and constantly try to improve the experience even more makes this my favorite community to to share on. And then lastly, but certainly not least, a heartfelt Thank-you to Royal Queen Seeds for your branding/research while making these seeds available to people like me. It gives me confidence in knowing that I am working with great genetics before I even start my grow. ---------------------------- Germination Start and incubation period 3/12/24 to 3/26/24 Transfer Day to Veg Day 6 3/27 to 4/2 Germination: First note was about the appearance of the seeds. They were smaller than I am used to seeing, but no damage or deformities and look to be in good shape. Germination took 14 days from dropping in water to transplanting into 1 gallon pots. 23hours in a glass of 6.3ph room temp RO water. 2 cracked open a little and I placed them both in paper towels wet with the glass water and pasted to the sides of the glass for 2 days then checked, no progress. So I freshened the water then waited another 2 days and checked, little to no progress. Then checked again 1 day later and finally was able to move them. One looked fully ready and the other seemed less ready. I placed in rapid rooter pods and closed with toothpick tips. 1 popped out of the pods in 1 day but the other did not. So I gave it 1 more day and started my spare seed. After 4 days of water and towels I replaced the dead pod with a growing sprout. Transplant occurred on 3/27 Veg Day 0 to 6 1gal hard tall pots. Transplant went well. The sprouts are smaller than I would like and seem to be stubborn in growth to start but hoping htat changes with soil. One pod was overgrown in the pods and Im hoping it doesn't reflect in the overall plant production. Video: Transplant ease. Transplant to 1 gal pots: I am using a 50/50, 50%perlite/50%soil with a .5lb of dolomite lime and a .5ml of flora micro added to .5 gallon of RO water (Im mixing 2 gallons of soil total so the water to soil ratio is 1/4 of the total medium volume) to achieve a soil tested ph of 6.4. I am using a 50/50 soil/perlite mix because I plan to use these in auto pots. I also used about 1 cup of the same soil mix water to pour around the plant after transplant; you can see how the perlite rises to the top where I did this. I sprayed two domes and covered - I plan to leave covered for the first week. Feed: I kept them under the domes and sprayed every day that I didnt feed them, to keep humidity up while I let them find water in the soil. By the end of the week I took the domes off and took pictures. Feed this week was another 1 cup of 6.3ph water 5 days after transplant. Feed plan next week will increase the amount to 2 cups of plain-no-nute water with about 4 days between feeds. I want to see the water run through so if I need to use more than 2 cups I will. The idea is to water deep and through, but then make them search for more before the next feed, hopefully spreading the roots out while doing it. Veg Plan: I plan on 8 colas for each plant. So that will be 3 topping days and a total of 7 cuts. I will want to cut the first time on day 21 if I have 5+ nodes. I will transfer to 5 gallon auto pots with-in 1 week of the first topping. Once I have 3 nodes of new growth past the first topping, I will top those two branches to the first node again. (that's 3 cuts total by this point) Then, after 3 new nodes of growth after that, I will do a last topping on the 4 branches. (4 new cuts added to make a total of 7 cuts and 8 colas) I will train the branches using LST/HST with tie downs as soon as I can after the first topping day to help maintain the branches growing where I want them to. I will also introduce an adjustable tomato ring after they have settled into the 5 gallon forever pots to provide support and mobility Hopefully all goes well, and I will have 1 to 2 weeks of growth before flip after week 8. I think it sounds more ambitious than it really is, but if you follow this journal, we will see together.

Update week 1 day 4 of bloom , this week we put the net to make the technique that calls scrog we see next week what is the resul

She’s getting ready to chop! Leaves are finally starting to fade heavily and die, a few amber trichomes have started to form. She is so fragrant and frosty, pure fruit and must. Feed pH 6.2, EC 1.75. Microbial pH 6.5, EC 0.6.

Last week of flush. The nugs are dense even though the plant is the smallest in the tent. 7 more days of flush and she's for the chop. Wish I'd have trained this plant better. 😋

Alles läuft super buds fangen langsam an anzuschwellen hab eine 2 Lampe mit reingebracht um mehr lichteinwirkung in der Blüte zu haben. Die einzige Frage die bleibt sollte ich langsam anfangen zu entlauben. Bin mir bei autoflower unsicher.

A huge flush was due with the ladies maturing. I noticed large swell after this, and kinda confirms they were a bit shocked from over nutes previously. Ive got the temp nailed down with better HVAC system in the ol garage. Again, its winter....some challenges hahaha.

Final weeks

What a surprising week this has been. Unfortunately our Elixir CBD instead of producing a healthy 20 to 30 grams dry yeild has seemed to know only expect to give us 5 grams if we lucky😞.Our Pineapple Express#2 is growing expectionally well standing at 42CM all she needs is some training hopefully its not too late.Our Blue Cheese is 7CM and Granddaddy black is 3CM.Our GSC is now about 12CM and our Purple Kush is about 17CM and Hindu Kush about 19CM they have all began training.

Gran Jefa is definitely the biggest. 🍋 🍊 already shows that she probably will be the tallest... ...and she is the first that got fimmed (on day 16 since they sprouted out of the soil.)

Swito flower next week. The jelly donutz should stretch a lot

Showing signs of pre flower (i believe) super exciting.

week 5 flower looking good so far, hoping to see the buds slowly stack and get fatter each week.

things are still getting thicker things are getting near a finish just watered with cal-mag and alaska fish fertilizer going to be feeding two more weeks or so then start the flushing after the 9 weeks of flower

10 days to go for Sweet Skunk. Frisian Dew has still a long way to go.

Die letzten Woche bleibt es nun mit dem Klima noch schwierig! Die Luftfeuchtigkeit und Temperatur im grünen Bereich zu halten mit sehr hohen Außentemperaturen….. der neue große externe Entfeuchter ist in Betrieb genommen ….er macht seinen Job ! Der Externe Entfeuchter im Vorraum entfeuchtet jeden Tag zwischen 5-7 Liter! Diese Woche eine minimale Entlaubung gelaufen …. Diese Woche gab es nach dem fluchen mit canna flush keine Nährstoffe mehr ….ich habe die Pflanzen nochmal mit 40 l gespült….der ec im drain wurde danach gemessen …. Danach immer noch 1,1-1,2…. 3 Tage gewartet und noch mal mit 40 l gespült…. Danach dann ec 0,7 so bleibt es nun…. Den ph habe ich beim letzten flushen auf 7 gesetzt da die wurzeln nichts mehr transportieren sollen…. Der Herbst muss schnell her 😁( 1 mal als erstes geflusht mit Canna flush mit 15 l pro Pflanze) Die tricome sagen das alles fertig ist. Ich warte noch bis das Substrat ausgetrocknet ist und dann wird sofort geerntet .zum abreifen auf 70 % runter gefahren , Nebeneffekt ist, geringere Temperatur im Zelt und das ist gut… Tage der Keimungsphase = 4 Tage Tage in Wachstum = 52 Tage Tage in der Blüte = 68 Tage Gesamt = 124 Tage Wachstum h (in einer Woche)= 0 cm 2 mal in dieser Woche mit Purolyt Mischung 1:25 besprüht Lichtstärke: 75 % PPFD: ca. 800 umol Lichtabstand: 35 cm Std Tag/Nacht: 12/12 Temperatur Tag: ca. 25,5 Grad RLF Tag: 55% Temperatur Nacht: 21 Grad RLF Nacht: ca. 55 % VPD Wert: ca. 1,0 PH Wert Wasser/Düngelösung: 5,7 -7,0 EC Wert: 0,7-1,2 Ventilator Oszillation: Stufe 1 Befeuchter: Aus Entfeuchter: an Bewässerung: manuell alle 3 Tage geflusht Purolyt Besprühung: 2 mal Controlling: Grow Control Dünger: Canna Coco Licht: Pro Emit Vollspektrum Abluft: EC Carbon Active 750 m3

Diese Woche hat sich einiges getan, die Blueberry hatte kurzzeitig starken Kalzium,Mangel der aber gut behoben werden konnte mit Canna Mono Kalzium und zusätzlich Bittersalz. Sie ist ein richtiges Monster geworden ❤️❤️❤️ Das Bewässerungssystem arbeitet hervorragend und funktioniert auch zusätzlich sehr gut, um gewisse Mängel auszugleichen, wie zum Beispiel den Kalzium Mangel.
