Grow Room Maria's Micro Meds: CBD strains from Dutch Passion, Sweet & Dinafem

[Exotic Flower]

Power is being shut off this afternoon, and I have to go out.
So will prob set the girls up near a window for some ambient light for the rest of the day.

The Industrial may be showing a tiny bit of clawing after the recent nute feeds, perhaps.

Think I should give them a good soaking soon.
I was reading up on CBD strains and learned a lot of them are derived from Resin Seeds Cannatonic.
So, went to check out their site. Very nice. Has great growing advice for each strain.

Flooding: water from the bottom. During this first week of 12 hours of light it is suggested to use small amounts of water for flooding. Ideally you should flood once every 2 days, this also avoids plant stretching.​

The "avoids plant stretching" is an interesting point.
Wonder if anyone else has tried this out or has any ideas??

I think my soil mix is heavy. I don't mean hot, just literally heavy.
So when I pick up the pots, they feel heavy, and I don't water them.
Have not watered them much at all.
And when I have, just a tiny amount of run off.
So, time for a good soaking, I think.

Canopy is starting to properly fill in now.
From the angle of the lights above, it's almost all green leaf catching the rays below.

Working with the 12/12 on the photos, moving them every morning and evening is ... not ideal...

Seems like some good progression in the last day or two.
I gave them a good watering with plain water yesterday.
Slowly, making sure to really soak the medium.
Until some run-off came through.

1. Charlotte's Angel CBD photo:
Still her usual slim and open structure.
Gives good light penetration after topping.
She's not branching much more though.
Four main tops of equal length.
The first node laterals are long enough to clone!!
She's lighter in color than the others, but still healthy green.

2. Sweet Pure CBD photo:
Still her indica heavy single stem shape.
Maybe a hash-bat formation??
Beautiful wide leaves.
Little to no branching.

3. Strawberry Cake photo:
After LSTing the top two branches,
the next lower two are actually taller!
Otherwise developing a cone shape.

4. Sweet Skunk Auto:
Getting into flowering strong and fast.
Four delicate tops, now with many pistils at the tips.
Her aroma is just starting without rubbing.
Will be fairly small yield, but quick!

5. Honey Peach CBD Auto:
Wonderful response to topping, not just four main tops.
Insides of the top two branches also have another 2 x 2 = 4 laterals.
Second fastest on the flowering side.

6. Industrial Plant CBD Auto:
Also good response to topping.
Generally like the Honey Peach but a bit slower.
Perhaps slightly leafier, too, at this point.
Maybe (??) some slight clawing at tips, but very little.

7. Jackpot Auto:
These two un-topped plants finally put out some pistils.
Slowest of the autos, also now starting to branch.
The smallest is still mottled, maybe a tiny bit of clawing (?).
Smallest is also catching up in height to taller sister.
Will get to nice fat top buds out of these two in the same pot.

Think I'll leave the watering for a few days.
Have a better feel of the weight of the pots when full, now.
Next watering will again feed with nutes,
though maybe reduced for Industrial and Jackpot (??).

Remember, there's another LED more on the right above the photo.
Have 3 un-topped big colas there, plus another 20 topped colas, plus another 10 or so small colas.

From the side

Hoping for at least 2 oz now. What do you all think?
Hehe, maybe shouldn't get too far ahead of myself....

Love and hugs,

First time ever doing this kind of micro grow, and first time with LST like this.
Keeping the canopy even is very important, esp with a small light.
The Charlotte's Angel -- this long legged skinny girl !! -- may need another pinch though.

Stick has not checked out your thread for a week or so, and WOW! Looking great for what you have to work with for your growing environment.

I will be very curious to see how those CBD strains test out for you.

How do you like the Canna-coconut Oil you are medicating with? I live on it, great stuff. Can be VERY potent.

Peace

Thanks @StickMan! A "Wow" from you is very encouraging!
First time doing a micro grow with LST, but have learned a lot here at AFN.

I'd glad that the two photo CBD plants look like one sativa and one indica.
Will give me a good comparison, see the differences in CBD strains.
Both of them are the 15:1 CBD:THC strains.

The two 1:1 to 2:1 strains, the Honey Peach and Industrial Plant,
are both very, very similar in growth and structure.
Honey perhaps a little faster.

The Canna-coco oil is great. First time using edibles like this.
It's not that potent, but I'm not using big amounts. Should give a try with big dose, haha!
The buds weren't that great, just 15 g = 0.5 oz of medium grade winter buds, to 1 cup coco oil.

Will turn most of this present crop into oil, too. May try ghee as well.
But also think I'll save some herb to smoke.
I like the time control of smoking, fast up and passing more quickly.
Working out the balance between the two.

Thanks, man! I hope to be surprised, but don't want to get my hopes too high, haha.
Constantly counting the growing tips, and trying to guess how many grams each will be.

 

[Exotic Flower]

Gave them each a little drink with 400 ppm of the 15-0-15 CaMg and 5-11-26 mix.
There was runoff, so I think the pots were still quite full from the last heavy soaking.
It's raining outside, so RH will be higher. Air circulation is on them, so no problem there.
Should leave off any watering for a while. Let them dry out a little.
Then prob next time hit with more of the 5-11-26 to increase the PK and lower the N.

Otherwise, the canopy is still filling over, for max utilization of the light.
The lettuces are going crazy. Increased their DWC mix up to about 800+ ppm yesterday.
