Day 1 to 32 - so far, so good
Thanks for joining me on another grow.... number 19
I've got loads of old seeds knocking around, so I thought I should dig deep and use some of my older beans before they get past it.
@DutchPassionTony sent me a few freebies way back, so this is what I've chosen...
I planted each seed in a Solo cup full of Coco soaked in EC 0.7 House and Garden nutrient, covered them in cling film (for humidity) and left them in the tent (to keep warm) with some cardboard on top (to keep the light out).
This method works 100% and after 2½ to 3 days, they all popped through....
(day 1)
My last 2 grows have not been up to my usual standards, the main reason being my inability to repot them in time.
This time I was better prepared, I had my Coco ready, and I waited until I only had 2 plants left from my previous grow before I sowed this new lot, so I had enough room for them all, and enough 25L airpots available to use.
I repotted them on day 10, perfect timing...

CJ
DL
NQ
TD
They took to their new homes quickly and by day 21 they had grown considerably....

Day 29 and they had really filled out..
clockwise from top left... TD, DL, NQ, CJ
The Night Queen was huge, and the Cinderella Jack and Think Different were not far behind. They were all very leafy, so I thought it was time to consider removing some of the larger fan leaves that were preventing light getting to the new shoots underneath. Some of the lower fans on the Night Queen were massive... 6 inches long, 2 inches wide!
So here they are again, yesterday on day 32....

Lots of tops showing through. I think they're a good size for just a month old. The NQ is 55cm high, TD is 47cm, CJ is 45cm and the DL 38cm.
I find taking fan leaves off the main stem slows the main stem height and allows the side stems to catch up, giving a more even canopy and good long candy canes all round.
Currently they are on an EC 0.9 feed, giving me a run off of between EC 0.6 and 0.7.
I'm seeing pale green tips on the new leaves and they've all started flowering.
I'm planning on increasing the Nitrogen a touch, just to keep ahead of any underfeeding issues, but I don't wanna push it. The TD is traditionally a light feeder, and the Night Queen doesn't like going too hot either, so I may have to start making up 2 different nute mixes.
House and Garden A&B nutes are used together for the whole grow, so I don't have to switch from Veg to Bloom nutes. Instead I just drop the Nitrogen and add Bud XL and Bud Candy instead, giving PK13/14 for a week starting around day 57 (week 9), aiming for harvests around the 80-90 day mark.
TD and NQ are advertised as 70 day finishers, CJ is 70-77 days and the DL 77 days.
Here they are individually on day 33....
Think Different
Night Queen
Daiquiri Lime
Cinderella Jack
They each have a Skyline 400 LED unit above them, on 24 hours a day. Thanks again @muddy-ledhydroponic!
I've been religiously feeding them every 2 days, but starting to do them every day now.
Temps are between 21°C and 25°C and humidity fluctuates between 50-80% depending on whether it's raining or not. Great growing weather!
So there you go, at the moment everything's looking good, but this is usually the stage when the plants get a bit fussy, so I might even give them a flush for a couple of days and push on to the finish.
I hope you'll be there to see how it all ends up. Thanks for looking in, and keep safe!

@DutchPassionTony sent me a few freebies way back, so this is what I've chosen...
- Night Queen - I'm obsessed with this strain, a good strong Indica that hits the spot every time.
- Cinderella Jack - another very strong smoke with 25% plus THC levels
- Think DIfferent - the classic old School Dutch Passion special that everyone loves!
- Daiquiri Lime - great tasting bud with huge harvest potential

Looking great Tee, i am subbed in. Plants are looking on point, The bottom link in my siggy is my new grow thread. I got them on 12/12 the photos now
Looking good mate, love dp.I'm currently smoking on some night queen as we speak from my last grow. She didn't auto though so I put her up with my other photo, sour diesel. She did real well in the end. Also I currently have 2 daquari limes and 4 ultimates at the moment. Just 1 ultimate is indoors though the rest outdoor.
