@RivetGrrl
Can you remove me from the seeded list please!? Cheers ✌✌

 

[RivetGrrl]

Yay, and late welcome to the battle from me :smoking:

If each of you could please post up some info, I will thread mark it and this will be where I copy & paste your updates once this thread is locked and we join the Big Battle.

What I am looking for is your Kit:

Grow space: (tent, room, etc).
Main light: (Manufacturer, is it COB, QB, HID, LED etc). I myself will be changing and adding lights so just the main source is fine.
Method and media: (Hydroponic, soil, system/pots).
Nutrient vendor: (No need to list all amendments, just the vendor like AN, GH, Greenleaf, etc)

For those of you that have your kit listed in the Level 1 tester kit thread by Mossy, you can just copy & paste that. Thank you all for helping me out and I look forward to seeing your gals grow

 

[RivetGrrl]

I see you 2 had to be split up @RivetGrrl @davisgirl I'll let @E Grower decide who's who

Yeah, we make too much trouble together. Like twins, only BOTH of us are evil Ha ha you're gonna make E grower blush.

Seedstockers Week 1 Update

Thin Mint Crack Day 18

Seems happy and healthy, having a few days on water due to tiniest bit of burnt tips

05/13/19

Seedstockers Week 2 Update

Thin Mint Crack Day 23

On the res at .7g/L Megacrop and .3ml/L Calmag and just about growing into it

Week 3 Update

Seedstockers Thin Mint Crack Day 30
Got as much LST done as I could. Now for some stretch please

Res is running .7g/L Megacrop, .4ml/L Calmag with a touch of Hydroguard. All is well

Seedstockers Amnesia Day 23

She's fine, just gone onto res at .7g/L Megacrop, .4ml/L Calmag with a touch of Hydroguard

Week 4 Update:

Thin Mint Crack Day 38

No changes this week. Not the prettiest plant but she's done her own thing from the start and hated LST. I seem to get one each grow.

Amnesia Day 26

Small and compact so far, just gone onto the res.

Week 5 Update
Thin Mint Crack Day 46

She's been a little over fed, noticed between today and yesterday that her res never seems to be empty. I'd removed the lids to raise RH. Swapped out the aqua valve and hopefully she responds and perks up a bit

Week 6 Update

Burnt. I diluted the res before leaving a 2nd time but it progressed. I may flush and put back on diluted res in a couple days.

Seedstockers week 2 update:

Topped the hydro gals and left the ones destined for AutoPots alone.

Sticky Fingers is doing well, untopped and on Greenleaf nutrients as outlined below. She will go into her AutoPot tomorrow. Under a mix of LED and T5HOs on the shelf of the 3x4.

I’ll probably cull this fruit cake, poor gal grew her stem in a loop and is a runt. I’m curious so she lives still.

Fruit Cake in the 2x3 propagation tent is doing great, topped at fourth node and on MegaCrop, Sweet Candy and CalMag pro.

Sticky Fingers same as above. Running Mars Hydro Reflector 48 on veg only for now.

Week 3 update

I’m still catching up so my coco gals got a bit root bound, and I should have gotten the DWC planted up earlier too.
Life doesn’t always go as planned!

Sticky Fingers [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] was unhappy, transplanted yesterday. She bounced back as you can see below.

Sticky Fingers [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] in the baby box before her transplant to a 5 gallon DWC bucket

Sticky Fingers [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] in her final home

Sticky Fingers [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] much happier after one day (untopped)

Changed my mind on Fruit Cake, she went into an AutoPot so I hope she bounces back, she’s a little rough right now (bit overcrowded in the baby box)

Week 4 Update:

Sticky Fingers in hydro is doing great; flowering already she’s kinda small but hopefully she will stretch more.

SF in an AutoPot untopped, just trained

Fruit Cake had some calcium issues so I used a foliar spray, not sure if it’s caused the new growth to have issues. I’ll keep an eye on her and hope she grows out of it.

Week 5 Update

Big difference between Sticky Fingers in DWC, and same in an AutoPot.
I want to use more AutoPots for ease, but the size I get from DWC just gets me every time.

Sticky Fingers [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG], I’ll have a QB for next update so no more spaceship lights.

Battle plant is Sticky Fingers [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] topped once and trained.

Week 6 Update

All is well and she is starting to stack.

Week 7 Update

Sticky Fingers is getting, well, sticky :smoking:
And swelling up huge compared to last week.

She just grows, no issues at all. Not huge, once again, but I think she will have some nice, fat colas. I can't resist rubbing her sticky leaves every time I am in the tent, she has the sweetest smell.

Week 8/9 Update

Sticky Fingers in the DWC bucket is short, but man is she ever getting fat! And she smells divine, very tropical/candy type smell to this strain.
According to Seedstockers, she should be ready in two weeks, but I am thinking it will be closer to three. Sticky in the AutoPot looks to be on the same time frame, but she is not nearly as full. I didn't top her so I am thinking that this strain really likes being topped.

I am eager to see how she does in the final weeks of flower.

Seedstockers Week 10 update

This plant is fat, and she looks to have some time left to get even fatter yet. I finally got to the city to pick up some more Remo Astro Flower to boost the P & K, as well as another product for the same in the final stages. I used the Remo before and liked the results, so I'm giving this gal a healthy dose before giving her a break before harvest.

Her sister in an AutoPot is very close to chop time, pretty close to the breeders time frame of 75 days. Lots of cloudy just waiting to see some amber. No where near the size of this plant, she seems to just be solid buds from top to bottom. I have a fan just for her to keep the air moving.

Seedstockers chop day!

Sticky Fingers @ day 89

Successful germination for BCN Critical XXL

Day 3 - moved from Propagator into permanent home.
She is not the prettiest of babies, but hopefully turns out to be an Ugly Duckling.

Seedstockers week 1 update.
BCN Critical XXL
Day 8.
The Ugly Ducking turned into a swan in just 8 days.

Additionally, her roots are now out of the Net Pot.

05/13/19

DAY 18 UPDATE

Looking good and recovered nicely from being topped at Day 16.
No nutrient issues other than a few paler patches - possible Magnesium issue, but the feed was just increased, so lets see if that helps.
A slight touch of leaf curl on the edges. Possibly wind related (looks more like wind than lights too close).
Raised the fan slightly to see if that helps.

Topped:

Week 3 Update

Week 4 update

We have PISTILS!!! on day 30...
(It is still about 15 days ahead of my Seedstockers Northern Lights which is a godsend as that one took 129 days...)

Dropped her ppm slightly as she was looking a touch too green. Not having any other issues though which is a massive plus.

Still no LST other than some minor leaf tucking - hopefully I can keep it this way with her.

Week 5 Update

Day 38.
Still no LST on this lady apart from a few judicious leaf-tucks.
Nutrients (35litre res):
MegaCrop: 11g
CalMag Pro: 5g
Sweet Candy: 4g

pH 5.9
ppm: 500 (also includes 200ppm from tap water)

Week 6 Update - BCN Critical XXL

Week 7 Update

Moving along nicely and starting to put out some trichomes. Never a bad sign

BCN on the left:

Week 8 Update

Day 59
Starting to get the frost on properly now:

Week 9 Update

BCN Critical XXL

Getting frosty, but the bud spacing isn't great.
Doesn't seem like this lady will give a large yield, or be very pretty.

Week 10 Update

Showing signs of almost being ready to harvest, with quite a few amber trichs.
Definitely is an ugly plant though...
