There are two photoperiod seeds from Green House Seeds. Grow equipment: I’m planning to keep the plants in the vegetative stage for three weeks, but I read that Dutch seeds grows very rapidly during the pre-flowering stage, so we’ll see. I named the plants Belka and Strelka, as this is my first time growing under photoperiods.
4 days: I watered them with 150 ml of «Amber Crab,» a rooting, growth, and immunity activator. It seems to be off to a good start!
9 days: 31°C outside, 28-29°C inside the box. I applied «Beta Factor» to the leaves, a stimulant that effectively controls various stressful situations. I haven’t fed them yet; the coco coir is buffered at 900 ppm.
14 days: The yellowing of the leaves is a bit concerning. I poured 3 liters of water up to the drainage to measure it. Inlet pH 5.7, 180 ppm, outlet pH 6.4-6.6, 700-800 ppm. Nothing out of the ordinary, so we’re still growing.
20 days: The pH level is a bit high on the drainage, so I’m now watering with a pH of 5.5, maybe even 5.0. I poured 2 liters of water at 750 ppm. Overwatering is my main problem, although it’s very difficult to overwater with coco in cloth bags. The distance to the lamp is 40 cm.
22 days: I started using LST, bending it a bit. I poured 3 liters of water, and the outlet pH is 700 and 900 ppm, respectively.
29 days: I evened things out, and the drainage pH is slightly higher than the inlet pH. Inlet pH 750-760, outlet pH 720-730. We’re feeding and growing, and the pH is perfect—6.2.
34 days: I changed the lighting – now I have 600W HPS. I’m doing some exercise. I need to increase the fertilizer dose; they’ve been eating very actively lately.
41 days: Switched to flowering mode, 12/12. Pre-flowering has begun, with 830 ppm at the entrance, and 600-650 ppm at the exit.
49 days: Eight days after switching to flowering mode. Appetite is excellent – I’m watering at 950 ppm, with 650-680 ppm at the exit. I need to thin them out; a lot of small shoots have grown. I’ll wait until they reach full flowering; it’s best to leave them alone during the pre-flowering stage.
The branches have almost filled the entire width of the box; there are only two small corners left; there’s not even room for another fan!
56 days: I left them on 11/13 for four days to speed up the transition to flowering, then returned them to the standard 12/12. I’ll trim off all the little things at the bottom in a few days; the light isn’t getting through anyway.
64 days: Humidity is 70%, the radiators should be turned on soon, and things will improve—it’s recommended to keep it at 30-40% during flowering. They’ve grown so big that it’s hard to get to the sides. I trimmed the bottoms of the plants and pulled off the big shoots. I’m thinking about making a drop plant.
I’m bending them and stretching them, since we don’t need them to grow any further; the lamp is about 20 centimeters away. After I trimmed them, I don’t see any stress. I broke a couple more stakes today; we’ll see how quickly they recover. I’m starting to think this tent is too small for two cameras; 120 is needed at least.
70 days: We’ve been flowering for two weeks. They drink 4 liters a day. I gave them some pre-mixed ACh two days ago; the pH and PPM of the drainage water have been adjusted for both plants. At night, they release a wave of odor throughout the house.
78 days: Three weeks of flowering. They’re not eating well at 600-700 ppm, which could be due to the AQC, which has caused the plants to overuse nitrogen and has also burned the leaf tips. I’m watering with 5 liters per day, and using a liter for drainage. Incidentally, after turning on the heating, the humidity dropped to 30-40%, so mold is definitely not a concern.
90 days: They’re still not eating. It’s dropped to 500 ppm, so I water every other time. The flowers are at their peak, though.
95 days: Exactly 40 days of flowering. I’ve trimmed the burdocks, removed some of the stringers, and raised the lamp almost to the ceiling. They’ve been sitting on water for three days now, not eating at all. I don’t know, maybe it’s stress from pruning.
100 days: Humidity is 35-40%, I turned on a large fan to make sure there’s no mold. I grabbed some string – it’s time to tie up the buds. Strelka is still on the water, Belka is gaining momentum. Coconut is a real pain in the ass – sometimes they eat, sometimes they don’t.
110 days: Strelka got a drop, we’re experimenting. It digs up 4-5 liters in 10 hours, with about a liter of drainage.
120 days: Strelka went to Ripen; enough of torturing the girl. Strelka has amber, milk, and clear trichomes. The smell, by the way, isn’t particularly noticeable.
130 days: Belka is eating and eating well. Strelka is in its last days. It smells like incense. The trichome count is simply incredible.
146 days: Harvest
Total: 159 g + 270 g = 429 grams. I did a manicure, cut along the branch, spent two evenings. Within a week, everything was crispy dry.
