Germination:

April 27, 2019:
All my Dinafem seeds germinated, so I have one each of Quick Kush and Quick Critical in the bubbler, and other two in Rockwool as I’m unsure if they will be hydro or go into Autopots at this time.
Ocean Grown Cookies is on the fence as well, I’ll see where I have room so into rock wool she goes too.

Quick Kush bubbling.

Ocean Grown Cookies. I pulled her out of the rapid rooter accidentally a couple days ago and almost discarded her, changed my mind and wedged the root back in. She kept on going so she seems good even with that odd root.

Quick Kush in rockwool.

Quick Critical in bubbler.

Now to keep them going and thriving, I’m not big on rockwool but it’s versatile for the current situation so fingers crossed.

Week 2 Dinafem battle

Quick strain Quick Kush topped, in 2X3 propagation tent under Mars Hydro Reflector 48 on veg mode

Dinafem Ocean Grown Cookies topped and happy, feeding Greenleaf MegaCrop, Sweet Candy and CalMag Pro. RockWool was put into the bubblers tonight. Not a fan of RW, too much algae to deal with but I was out of room in the bubblers at the time. I'll give them a shot of enzyme tomorrow so it can nom nom the algae.

Quick Kush topped, brown stuff is tea that was in the line when I installed the dripper tonight. Looks like poo, probably is :smokingOK worm castings).

Week 3 update

I did other updates but didn’t do Dinafem, at least I don’t think I did.
So here are the gals :smoking:

First up are the gals I need to decide on, so I did and I will. This Ocean Grown Cookies is going into DWC tomorrow when a bucket is freed up.

Quick Kush [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] and Quick Critical [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] will be going into AutoPots tomorrow as well. It’s interesting that they are in a bubbler yet they stay much smaller than the gals in the same size reservoir bucket. Maybe they know they are sharing root space?

Quick Critical [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] is taking off since transplant

But not like this gal, growing like a weed; Quick Kush [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG]. I dig this girl :smoking:

Week 4 update Dinafem

The Quick Kush that won’t stop, and I’m not complaining. She is 35 days, topped once and trained so she is two feet wide and a foot and a half tall now. I’ll keep vegging her see if I can get a monster going. Can’t see her not being my battle plant. Next week I will declare officially!

Quick Critical in an AutoPot, bit slower than the Kush but she should take off soon

Quick Kush from the top, I’ll be moving her so she doesn’t grow into a square.

Ocean Grown Cookies transplanted today into an AutoPot and training started.

week 5 update

41 days from sprout.

My battle gal is going to be Quick Kush [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG],
Although the Quick Critical is really catching up to.

QK#1 has been moved to my 2x4 and flipped to 12/12. She is taking up all her room in there.

Quick Critical [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] is catching up, she will be flipped to flower soon enough.

Dinafem week 6 update

Hard to pick one picture so update one first and added another.

Quick Kush [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] could use a 3x3 space just for herself, I think mainlining plants in this tent could be a thing to try. I’ve been defoliating and she just keeps going nuts she reminds me of those watermelons that are grown to be square poor thing.

Week 7 update Dinafem GOTY

Btw how you doing lady?

Plant bounced back after a good defoliation, and transitioning nice into flowering. I will feed her some transition nutes, and next feeding of nutes should be an early flowering mix. In between feedings she gets a mix of Sweet Candy, CalMag and a humic & fulvic acid mix. I could probably cut out the SC and CalMag and just do the acids and sometimes B vitamin. I also have a fresh batch of Heisenberg tea ready tonight so that always makes the girls glow :smoking:

Dinafem week 8 update

Quick Kush is a breeze, flowering very nicely at day 21 now.

Bonus pic, this strain has been easy to clone and very aggressive with the roots.

@faded187 adding my Quick Critical, does yours have this saw blade leaf? Might help ID your gal.

Dinafem battle very sad and last update, my prize girl hermied out and had to be culled. I am really upset about it as she was doing so well and was getting nice and fat. You know all too well the issues I've been having and it's messing with my chi. Lucks gotta change sometime eh? Don't know what to do other than to keep growing less, and hope maybe *next* time it's better

Into the hash pile she goes...

The space is all cleaned up and ready to go. I just had too much trimming to do to start the seeds so instead of 420 they would be Easter Seeds. Maybe I should color them before I germinate them. Yeah that is the other reason they are not started.

Happy Easter to all that celebrate!

Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey ...

[Mikis]

Im on the fence as to whether i should start germinating these or not! My tent and the autopots are still full and probs will be for another 3 to 4 weeks! I could hold them back a bit in smaller pots but id rather give them as good a start as possible!
Whats your guys thoughts?? ✌✌

Your call Mikis, if you can’t do it, you can’t do it. Sometimes the timing trips us up, it’s not like you can just harvest 3 or 4 weeks early. Let me know.

Thats one reason ive never been in a battle always packed with to many in the small area i got and would need a month to getem to ripness but this time i said f it and culled 2 @ 20 days and 2 down a week maybe 2 early but at 3 or 4 it would not make sense unless u can suspend in corner like a hanging basket

Yes, exactly. I have a little bit of wiggle room, it’ll be a little time before the seedlings are taking up much room, but I’m still cutting it pretty close myself. I know how it is.
