The trichome stars I am growing this round are the following genetics:
- SERIOUS HAPPINESS from SERIOUS SEED (1 plant);
- SNEEZE from CNNBS.nl in coop with Seedstockers (3 plants);
- BLUE-MINT from Mountain High Seeds (12 plants);
- Mr. BIG CANDY and Mr. JEKYLL KUSH from Mr.HIDE - Seeds (2 and 4 plants);
- SUGAR BLACK ROSE from DELICIOUS SEEDS (3 plants);
- SHORELINE and STRAWBERRY SOUR DIESEL (3 and 1 plants) from ORIGINALDEVILHARVEST-Seeds (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL BREEDERS COMPANY! - PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE WITH Devil Harvest Seeds, who are copy-cats!)
In week 3 the 29 plants have been repotted the into 8 liter containers filled with a 2 cm layer of expanded clay-pebbles (for drainage) at the bottom and filled up with LIGHT-MIX from GOLDLABEL.nl . I added ONE TABLET of BIO-TABS nutrients to each container, which is sufficient for the whole cycle. The BIO-TABS nutrients are also SELF-REGULATING in ph-value, which means from now on I only have to give PURE TAB-WATER to them (without having to adjust the ph-value of the water to 6,0 each time). This will SAVE me a LOT OF TIME along the way and is sooooooo convenient! 👍😄 Twenty of my babies are put into trays of my 'EASY2GROW'- system from AUTOPOT-systems, which are supplied from a 100 liter foldable reservoir called 'Flexitank' and supply the trays of the plants with water all the time via gravity (the reservoir stands on a small table, so the water flows automatically). The remaining 8 plants (all BLUE MINT from Mountain High Seeds) also have BIO-TABS in their soil and will be watered by hand.
My three SANlight EVO5-150 LED-fixtures in the center are hung at 100 cm distance from the plants and are NOT DIMMED (they run at 100% power).
On the left and right side I hang my old Q5W-Gen.2 LED-lamps and tilt them inwards by 11 degrees with the easy-tilting system in the frame (I simply hang them up at one hole next to the center-hole). The two Q-series lamp are dimmed to 100% and also hang at 100 cm distance from the top of my trichome wonders.
Now in week 5 some of my plants have grown to 35 cm height while others (like the Shoreline) stayed a little shorter (15 cm). All have recovered from being slightly root-bound in the smaller pots and have a nice healthy green-color now. Therefore its time to switch to flowering (=12/12 hours of light/darkness) at the end of this week.
