Dutch Passion (Nieuw) Dutch Passion ORANGE HILL SPECIAL Grow Journal

[bugger]

Hello to all AFN canabinium heads . (Bugger it, ive forgot me username already!) so i thought one way to remember it is "Use it" apologies for that.

This is my 2nd grow. i learned alot from the first grow i did with help from afn. So i thought why not do my 1st thread on me grow, and get some direct advice from members expert knowledge on here. So here goes, what do i have to loose !

My Dutch passion Blog;= (Nieuw Stam Poto Dam) ORANGE HILL SPECIAL Fem/Reg.

My kit is thus;
11.65 cubic mtr space 2.5 by 2.2 floor space
100mm/580m2/hr thermo fan carbon both ends, out side carbon Y piece with 2 pheat filters on Y exit
filtered external air in assisted by 200m2/hr push fan
lighting = led & hps winter. Summer replace hps with led. old model ms006 ms004
nutes = genesis = micro, grow 2, & bloom & nothing else except pk13/14 boost + vit & mins. And a few drops of rizotonic in early stages in 30ltr res.
water = RO tap water buffered to 150ppm then ph then nutes in at 21c
soil = vermiculite and lime free sand in J inns potting on compy nothing else.
A 100mm duct taking hot air from cieling and mixing with cold air at floor level ozone gen mixed in too, = homodginous room temp top to bottom. winter RH booster to keep my (VPD) vapour pressure deficit in the green !! temp 26c.

The seeds where put straight into the 6ltr pots, 10mm deep 100ml ph'ed water, then covered with clingfilm to give green house effect. 10 OHS went in and 9 came out the morning of day 3 from 1st wetting. This is where i run days from 1st wetting. So here they are, at;

Day 6; orange Hill Seedlings, quite vigorous !!.... looking forward to day 100 !!



will take some more pics when they throw the next set of leafs, "B" good.:clap:

Ps; If, you not sure what VPD is here is the bones of it, it is a great influence on the outcomes. below;

Vaping some now its lush....welcome to AFN bro.

jtang same tang ? or a different tang ?.................... did look in bro, at your 2no OHS from DP, was sad the one that went the way of the "H", but the 2nd girl you did, wow, she came good for you no probs, even though it topped at 15 day's..................... i will be trying this method Tang, below.

But dont want to top OHT before micro pre sex, around 28-35 day's hopefully. The trouble will be, at 30 odd day's OHS will be wey above 6 nodes !! but will still cut back down to the 3rd node, with any luck. Will try the "8" ball colas arangement. With every ounce of the energy budget going where it's needed, into the Fruits !! it will be my 1st attempt at the 8 ball, and 1st time topping, hoping i dont uk it up !!.............thanks for the welcome T. We shall see how they go through the journey, if i dont kill em first !! B.

Orange Hill Update; Day 11 from 1st wetting, straight to soil.

A 90% germ rate followed by, a very homogenous somatic growth spurt from the juniors !!............but have marked some for selection this early, as well........looking great. my VPD is a bit low though, slowing thing 20% or more. leaf VPD is 98% and air in cultivar room is with transevaporation assistance, RH is up from 30% = 65% Vapor Pressure Deficit, up to 38 to 41% RH. VPD is still 54% = not good, stoma partially closed. Ambient RH in Air seem so dry, this end of winter, drying one lips a little, is the proof !! Although it's probably anticipation of the OHS experience to come !!......

This strain, was imported by Dutch passion, as with Euforia, M Kush, Power Plant, and Ultimate, now the OHS. Reg seeds also available which is alway's a good sign of heritage. We don't know who the breeders is though at the mo. But it isant the CBD crew ??..............pheno looking consistent though already. OHS day 11..>>>>>

OHSpecial 21% 50/50 indi/sati "B"

B's, Update;OHS Juniors, from DP, 15 days,....
....DP, currently at "Spannabis"........yey...........The OHS has hopefully been selected for the Netherlands, THC cup 2014 ! no presure then !!...........hopefully, it will be the final entry in organics ??.................at 21% is a class act at modal 100 an item, not breaking a sweat...........a heavyweight of "Oranjie".. "B"

Here they are at 15 day's from 1st wetting, "Orange Hill Special" Feminized Regular @21% delta 9.....50% indica 50% sativa Blended genetics.

mS/Cm/Ec is, Hanna 0.45 Minus, tap (Potable Water) Ec at 0.2 To 0.3 Alkalinity Hardness TDS. Thats 0.24 Nute Ec. Ph in tap buffered RO is 6.1 at 21c.

Here are the Junior OHS cracking on well........looking like they dont mind the treatment !!.........take 4-6 days of 15 day's if you take time from 50mm tall seedlings etc...>> "OHS"......"B"

Orange Hill, hmmmm. sounds like a TV show about California Rich Kids.

But hopefully the grow will be better to watch

Peace

Day 24 update;

OHS has put on quite a bit since last update at day 21. Day 24 OHS Ec 0.45 Ph 6.3
Ten days from now i will be cutting back to the 3rd main node above cotty set. The nodes below no 3, will also be taken off the plant. The aim is 4 colas to left side, and four colas to right side of OHS. Like all those little popcorns that waste energy, and end up a few g's of BHO. All that energy budget will go to 8no large colas on each. Around half to three quarter of a zip, times 8no.
OHS Day 24 >>>



Group 9



This little fella makes ten from a ten pack on germ.
Was past ten days, put soil from dead pop into another OHS,
to top up soil sag, and water in.
Nxt day there where 2 OHS girls in the pot ! so around day 8 to 10 !

alas 12/12 in 15 days, will be a mini colas !!.........OHS....
1st root to show at pot bottom 2day. another 5-6 days before potting into J/Inns/No2, final 15L. And selection for ongrowing also.looking fine atm "B" Thanks for looking youl...

Day 31 Update OHS;

All OHS repotted to 15ltr air pots home made. Same soil as 6ltr on-grower. With added RHS "RootGrow" granules in bottom of 6ltr pot soil siluette during 15ltr on potting.
The girls are cracking on quite a bit, strong growth showing.
All OHS Gynoecious strain, have shown micro pre sex at between 28 and 31 days, bang on schedule, showing low stress environment.
Ec is same 0.45 = inc 0.25 (Tap Ec) so 150ppm nute inc rizotonic. Ph 6.3 veg.
Cut 4 down to mainline the plant. back to 3rd node and bonded them down horizontally. The four that showed sex on day 28 !!...........the rise of "Ethylene" sex hormone !!..........
The canopy is running at 15k to 23k total lux at metering. i like to keep it around 20,000 lux veg and push upto 24-26,00 lux for fruitification. VPD is within 30-50% RH 45% canopy 26.5c.
The mainlinning takes some minerals !! as to cut back to 3rd node at pre-sex means taking away around 80% of the plant volume, see pic below; Only had the minerals to main 4no OHS, bet i am going to wish i
i had done more !! It will cost me 8-14 days in recovery, but maining post pre sex ensure a healthy root matrix to power good recovery, which you dont have maining to early in the plants life etc......

AFN,ers Here they are, Orange Hill Special @ D/31 from 1st wetting beans >> Very pleased so far, maining prune bouncing back already !! OHS >>>
