Right here we go !
2 weeks since I wet the seeds but let’s call today day 1 for sake of the diary ,

Tonight I have potted up my 5 autos , I have picked these strains because they are fast , and will finish around the same time frame 8-10 weeks hopefully , so can chop and hang all 5 together in the tent as my drying tent upstairs has been taken down and spare room is now a walk in wardrobe lol

So……
3 x sweet seeds sweet train wreck !
Image

2 x Dutch passion blackberry kush
Image

I set the ph of the feed to 6.5 and have mixed the feed at 1/2 strength , 2ml rhizotonic 2ml a and 2ml b per L of water , I made a 10l bucket and gave the coco a decent wet through with the ph’d food and left a while before potting up the babies ,

Here they are in the tent.
Image

I only have one 240w quantum board powered up at the moment set high at the top of the tent in full power though , 1 small clip on fan for a bit of circulation, and the filter is turned on just to keep the air fresh in the tent , I need to get a new filter fitted in the tent as last grow the filter wasn’t doing what it needed too ! Not great lol

Right that’s me done , might update this diary twice weekly as the forum is dead these days , this is more a personal record so I can keep track of things lol

Over and out

Jobs for this week …… go to grow shop and buy a 6” to 5 inch reducer

I bought a 6” filter by accident last grow but the fan is sooooo loud and pulls like fuck , so planning on putting my 5” fan into a connector to put on the 6” filter . See how that performs
Currently using the old 5” filter that’s not filtering smell properly but plants that small they ain’t humming yet lol BUT ……… it will be a problem
Soon so need to get it sorted

Also swapped the small clip on fan to a 8” ram that’s hanging canopy hight as the temps in the tent is probably 30c plus ! I say probably because I ain’t got a thermometer or humidity meter lmfao

Off to the coast Friday after work , plan is to just give the coco a serious soaking through and fill the auto pot trays to the limit and hope that sees them ok till I get back Sunday. I haven’t replied the auto pots yet or cleaned out the tanks so fingers crossed and hope for the best

Removed some of the bigger fan leaves this evening that were shielding all the new shoots that are trying desperately to push through the thick foliage

BlackBerry kush

Looks like I have 2 different pheno of the blackberry kush , have one tall lanky plant and a small bushy one , this also happened when I grew the cbd version of the blackberry kush.

I have had to start spreading the pots apart to allow for them to spread their branches and still get as much light as possible ,
Gonna give it another week or so and strip some more leaves and maybe bend some branches or tie them down to open em up to get maximum light penetration,

I haven’t bothered piping given 1/2ml per L of pk 13/14 in the last 2 buckets of feed since they have all started budding.

Tents filling out nicely now , fluffy tops have well and truely started , I have pulled a few more big fan leaves off to allow more air flow round the plants ,

Started to smell quite a lot now too, so gonna set up a 4” filter in the room to polish the air as soon as the tents open to water the house is humming, not good lol
