Hey folks, here goes another Teetee grow.
While I was waiting for my enormous Auto Glueberry OG to finish, I thought I should plant a few more seeds. A couple more Glueberries for sure, they get so BIG!
Also, I love smoking Auto Night Queen..... it's such a strong smoke, and so tasty too. I just have a little bit left from the last time I grew her, so I had to include her in this run.
I put the Night Queen and Glueberry seeds directly in 5L airpots, with 100% Coco, soaked in EC 0.7 nutrient mix. The usual 20L airpots were still in use when I sowed these beans.
I only had one 20L airpot available, and so I used it for a Pineapple Express seed. I had 3 seeds from winning the COTC on AFN, and grew her once..... the first seed didn't pop, and the second time she was small, giving me just under 3 ounces, but was a very strong smoke that tasted so pineapplely!!! She was small because I had her in with plants that were a bit older, and I have this theory that when the older ones start flowering, it initiates flowering in any nearby younger plants. This results in smaller plants that finish a lot quicker.
I planned to repot the Dutch Passion strains in the 5L airpots at around week 3, they can take the stress...... hopefully.
The Pineapple Express is a Fastbuds strain, so may be less stable, I dunno. I didn't wanna take any risks with her, just let her grow in a 20L airpot from the start, and get the best out of her without stressing her out at all.
Anyway, after planting the seeds, I covered the pots in clingfilm, then put some thick card over them to block out any light, and left them in the tent to keep warm.
I planted them on the 18th Feb, and on the evening of the 20th, one of the Glueberries had popped. The following morning, the other Glueberry, then the Night Queen popped out...... but no Pineapple.
That 1st Pineapple that didn't grow has been bugging me, the only blip in my 100% successful germination technique...... I wasn't prepared to let it happen again, so on the night of the 22nd, I got impatient and dug down into the coco to rescue her.....
I must have made the hole too deep when I sowed the seed, and I'm glad I found her, she was a good inch down and was out of her shell, yellow and still looping down.... so without exposing her root at all, I hooked her head out and covered the pot with clingfilm for that night to get the humidity up... the next morning she was looking green and happy, so I uncovered her and let her get on with it.
Here they are on day 4.....
Clockwise from the Pineapple Express in the big 20L airpot, there's a Glueberry OG, a Night Queen, and another Glueberry OG, all in 5L airpots.
I watered them on day 5 for the first time..... just syringing 100ml of EC 0.7 feed at pH 5.8 around the roots to get a bit of oxygen in there, and fed them again 2 days later to get the tap root going before I start circumferential watering (just around the edges) to encourage side root growth.
On day 6, I took a few photos....
Glueberry OG 1
Glueberry OG 2
Night Queen
..... and finally.....
Pineapple Express
Now I know the Pineapple is a day younger than the others, but I'm sure some of the more eagle eyed amongst you will notice she doesn't look like the others.....
The next 2 leaves are growing, so I'm not that bothered by it, but I hope this isn't a bad omen!
I had all 4 under one Skyline 400, keeping the light about 80cm above the plants.
4 days later, they looked like this....
GB1 day 10
GB2 day 10
NQ day 10
PE day 9
As you can see, vigorous growth in 4 days, and they continued to flourish, so on day 12 I transferred the Glueberries into 20L airpots. I wore nitrile gloves to avoid contaminating the roots, which had already come to the edges of the 5L airpots, and carefully but quickly got them in their new pots, with more coco added around them to fill in the pot's greater diameter.
After transferring the Glueberries, I gave them a good feed with EC0.8 mix at pH 5.8.
The next day, they looked great, still growing, so no transfer shock, hopefully.
By then I had finished trimming the leaves off the old Glueberry 1, so I took her down, cleaned up the 20L airpot and transferred the Night Queen in the same way as I did for the Glueberries.
The Pineapple Express was already in a 20L airpot, so she was left untouched, just giving her a good watering.
Here's how they looked all in 20L airpots, on day 13 (12 for the PE)....
GB1 looking very lush
GB2 also in great shape
NQ.... keeping up with the Glueberries so I'm hoping she will go big!
PE.... showing no signs of ill effects after her difficult start.
I think the transfer went well, the roots were being air-pruned at the edges of the pots, so now they're in larger airpots, the roots should explode with growth. As Ledbud once said... Big Roots = Big Buds.
The feed is currently made up of EC 0 rainwater, with 0.2ml/L Cal Mag, then I halve it and add A&B at 0.4ml/L. Then I recombine them and I add 0.1ml/L drip clean (to aid flushing out of excess salts), 0.3ml/L Roots Excellurator, and 0.3ml.L Nitrogen 28%. All House and Garden stuff. EC is 1.0 but soon I'm gonna start adding Multizyme and Amino Treatment (silicon), so I will reduce the A&B to accommodate for that so I don't increase the final EC.
Each plant now has its own Skyline 400, still at about 75-80cm from the plants. I'll let them grow up to the lights.
So at the end of week 2, all is good. Another good couple of weeks growth, and they'll start showing flowers. I need this to be a big haul again, cos we're gonna hopefully move again before the end of the year.
