Indoor Teetee's 2021 Monster Hunt

[Teetee]

So this diary has 2021 in the title and although I finished my last grow in March 2022, it was technically a 2021 grow as I planted them in mid December 2021.

Now we're well into 2022, but the goal is the same... big girls with big buds!

Lazy stoner that I am, I can't be bothered to do a new thread so I'll continue here....

Welcome to Teetee's 2022 Tropical Treats!!!

We had an inspection last Friday, so on the Wednesday before, I planted 3 Dutch Passion beans....

• Auto Banana Blaze
• Auto Lemon Kix
• Auto Orange Bud

Just the 3 plants as I don't wanna get a Kilo then hand it all over to Hope!!!

The idea was to plant them mid week so that they'd pop over the weekend, giving me time to take tent down, hide everything for the inspection, then get it all up again.

The plan worked perfectly, the Orange Bud and Banana Blaze appeared on Saturday and this morning the Lemon Kix showed her face too.


I did my usual thing and made up 3 Solo cups with perforated bottoms, filled them with Canna Coco Professional Plus, soaked with an EC 0.7 mix of House and Garden's Cocos A&B along with some Roots Excellurator, some Cal Mag and a dash of Nitrogen Boost.

The seeds were planted direct in the Coco and covered with cling film. I left them in a dark cardboard box somewhere warm..... seeing that it's blistering hot here in the Tropics, I just left the box on the floor in the garage.

This method works 100% of the time, takes 3 days for the seedlings to show, and no stress to the delicate roots.

I plan to repot them into my trusty 25L airpots around day 14, and hopefully one of them will be a monster... I'm thinking it will be the Lemon Kix as it's advertised as a XXL taking 84 days to mature, and while the Orange Bud is 77 days and the Banana Blaze is 84 days both are XL only.

Wish them luck!!!
Thanks for taking a look, more next week!

Hey, back again, it's day 9 and I'm still smarting from the beating we got from the Bees last night.

On a postive note...

from L to R: Banana Blaze, Lemon Kix and Orange Bud

All getting off to a good start, despite it being 31°C in the tent.... while the rest of the east coast has been enjoying offshore cyclones, torrential rain and flash flooding for a couple of months we have just been ROASTING.

Here they are from above....


The Orange Bud is flying away, but I suspect she's growing faster because she finishes in 77 days while the other two take 84.

I've never had a plant finish on the day as advertised by the seed company, usually another`1-2 weeks more at least, especially if they are monsters.... but it's a useful guide.
I'd imagine the seed co's use smaller pots for their test runs.

I have them all under a single Skyline 400 LED, and once they get moved into the final 25L airpots they can have one LED unit each.

I'm feeding them every 2-3 days using the remainder of the nute mix I used to germinate them with.... EC 0.7 pH 5.8.

Getting ready to repot them over the next weekend, I like to do it around the 14 day mark.

That's it for today, a nice quick one!

Bad day for the hammers bro.. didn't see any of it so no idea what sort of game it was but after smashing Chelsea 4-1 they were always gonna come out swingin and full of confidence.

We were busy mean time blowing our title chance. Could have been a better weekend

Plants off to a flyer as usual

And I have to agree.. I don't think DP use 25L airpots either

Stay safe and keep them wee ladies nice and green and happy my friend

From an outsider's point of view, the Liverpool game was fantastic. You just need Mo firing again. We've only got Antonio up front and he looked fit for the knackers yard yesterday.

It's day 13, and the seedlings were looking great in their Solo pots this morning...


L to R: Orange Bud, Lemon Kix and Banana Blaze

The Lemon Kix is a little shorter, but they are all coming along nicely.

Here they are from above...


Time to re-pot them into my faithful 25L Airpots.....


and one by one - starting with Orange Bud...


Lemon Kix...


and Banana Blaze....


I hooked up more lights so they now have a Skyline 400 LED each, and gave them a light watering with the last of the germination mix... about 2L each to get them bedded into their new homes.
An air circulation fan on low, is at ground level just to keep any heat stress at bay.

More next week!
