Very nice work that chocotonic looks sheer quality :tiphat:


Yep, I only hope not to find mold in the bigger buds, but it should be under control. Started adding only water and in some days I'll switch to only RO water till the end.


Neat! May I ask temp and rh and how you control them in the growbox? Having some trouble with two weeks old seedlings.


Seedlings are assholes :biggrin: It's normal. Nothing special btw, I just let the light OFF one ore two hours in the firsts weeks. This is good for temp. and stretching (temperature is around 25).

Rh is not so high...they like high RH but I prefer to let the medium dry faster and then (very important in my case) flushing the medium with a rich and fresh nutritive solution (I'm using just Canna coco A+B in a 90% RO / 10% tap water).

Then wait some days and flush again for a full soaked medium.

These cycles work very good for me, and just a day after the flush I can see plants looks healthier. On one side dry period is good for the root as they can have a maximized oxygen uptake, on the other side wet period is good for nutes uptake.

ChocoTonic are almost ready, I will let one more week for a better flush and ripe. Could have start flushing some days before as they still have some ''green'' to use. Now they're at 76 days 12/12 so they go for 83 days total.

Hope I will not find any molded bud but I'm expecting at least some 'hot spots' in the bigger colas.

Some GG#4 at mid flowering. Keepin' pH between 6 and 7. Tap water at 0,6 mS/cm and EC between 0,8 - 1 mS/cm.

Min. temperature is around 15-16ºC - Max around 22-23ºC.
RH varies between 35 - 50%


Light is HPS 400V 660W from Lumatek with a medium avenger AAW reflector.



This time I see a lot of bud-sites and not a single big cola. I will end with a lot of medium-small size flowers packed in resin, yield should be in the average. Smell is already present and I can't wait to smoke some...meanwhile I still have some sherbetXplatinum and well...when I smoke this I don't miss GG#4 so much.

New selection is going good. Plants are in 3liters pot and they are going to grow fast from now with some good root mass already developed. I plan some more vegging, take 2 cuttings of each and then move everything in the flowering room. Can't wait to see all these different strains in bloom.

Thanks buddies, I just try to do my best and sometimes it goes good, sometimes less :)

Codeine, I just used Canna Coco A+B, nothing else, no added acids nor anything else ;) Watered only one time from the transplant till run-off and now I'm waiting for the medium to dry and then I'll give'em another good watering, starting water EC is 0,3- 0,4 and finale EC would be around 1.3 - 1.5

ChocoTonic is finally at harvest day after almost 3 months. I cut the first plant and found just a little spot of mold in a bud, not even in the main cola, so it is a good thing.

I noticed 3 plants having some troubles. Most probably they're not strong phenotypes, one of them is also a little freaky. I don't even know if I will keep them or throw away.



Here 2 x MangoWidow

And this one is a BlueFire by HSO

All the others are doing fine. Some bigger, some smaller, but overall they're healthy. Today I removed the very little meristem tip to stimulate branching and having in a couple of week a couple of branches good for cloning. Then straight in the flower room!
