Welcome to my latest grow!
Many thanks to @DutchPassionTony - he sent me some lovely Dutch Passion beans for growing a 506g Daiquiri Lime, that appeared on the DP blog.
I was so tempted to grow the Desfrans, and some more Night Queen would have been nice, but I decided on the Glueberry OG and Cinderella Jack..... 2 of each.
Auto Cinderella Jack is a feminized auto variety created in collaboration with Buddha Seeds. The parent genetics were selected exclusively on THC levels and nothing else. Professional lab analysis was used at each stage of breeding to confirm high THC foundation genetics over several generations and all individuals.
Originally this project began with selected crossing of Cinderella 99 and Jack Herer. The auto genetics came from the Magnum genetic line which ensures harvest quantities are well above average. With THC levels of 20%++ this is allegedly one of the most potent auto varieties currently available so we shall see! @912GreenSkell nailed it for me when he told me how frosty they get.
Glueberry OG is a cross of (Gorrila Glue x OG) with a stable Dutch Passion Auto Blueberry to ensure the same taste and effect as her hard hitting photoperiod sister..... subtle Diesel hints and fruity Blueberry tones. Again THC levels over 20% are possible, as are monster harvests. @Hansbricks grew a 545g specimen, so I'm hoping for a good few full jars after this!
Back on November 26th I set up three 20L airpots with H&G Coco and soaked them in a EC 0.7 nute mix. I planted 2x Glueberries and one Cinderella Jack and covered the pots with cling film and some dark card, leaving them under a couple of Skyline 400W LEDs for warmth.
I would have planted another one, but I ran out of Coco..... not for the first time.
Anyway, these 3 popped their heads out of the Coco on the 29th..... spot on 3 days as usual. I ordered some more Coco, took about 10 days to arrive, so I planted another Cinderella Jack on 6th December.
Now my germination technique is almost 100% successful, only one time I fucked up and that was because I let the Coco dry out during germination. Usually I see the surface of the Coco rise and break up just before the seedling pops up, usually 2-3 days after planting.
Unfortunately, with this one, the surface bumped up a little, but after 7 days, on the 13th Dec, nothing had popped through. I decided to excavate, very gently just to the side of the bump in the Coco. I found the seedling, it had doubled up on itself, and was growing downwards....... so I dug a little deeper, and teased out the head of the seedling without touching any of the root. I then packed in the Coco and supported the little seedling with a matchstick and finally put the clingfilm back over it to up the humidity.
Over the next few days I tried propping her up bit by bit, watering carefully with a 50ml syringe and by day 7 she was looking more like a normal seedling! She's 14 days younger than the others, but looking very healthy.
Christmas was handy, 5 days off meant I could get as caned as possible, but also allowed me to spend time with my loved ones..... my plants.
The Glueberries were getting pretty bushy , and needed some attention. I have removed quite a few leaves from the Glueberries, mainly to allow light into the depths of the plant, they both have gone mad branching out, and I want to expose all potential bud sites to the light, and maximise airflow. Ambient temps are in the low 30Cs...... Summer is here, and it's cooking! Temps in the tent can hit 34C even with LEDs, so I luckily I picked the only room in the house with an air con unit. I run it mainly during the mid part of the day when its hottest and it brings the temps down to around 24C. I have my lights on 24/0.
Here they are then, taken on day 28 (day 14 for the CJ2)....
The Glueberries are at the back. The 3 older plants each have a Skyline 400W unit, and the CJ2 is just getting spread from those 3 LEDs. I didn't want to give her direct light until she really needs it to keep my temps down.
Here's some close ups......
First GB1. She's gonna be the big one for this grow, so I've staked her out and removed heaps of leaves. Dutch Passion reports that this strain is good for SCROG grows, and I can see why. I've practically supercropped the lower branches, and it's tempting to throw a net over and supercrop the main stem and higher branches as well..... but I'm not gonna.
Next the GB2.... a tiny bit behind the GB1, but still plenty of potential.
You can see how dense those leaves are getting.... I have taken a few more away since this pic was taken.
CJ1 is a completely different looking plant.... thin leaves and not so bushy, but loads going on in there......
Lastly the CJ2, 2 weeks younger than the others....
You'd never guess she had such a difficult birth. She is growing very vigorously, and 2 days later, today, she looked twice the size.
Another update in a moment........
