Organic Yekke for 2017

[fonzee]

Hello campers,
23 Platinium Diesel (Golden Diesel F4 selection) and 5 Golden Diesel F2 cuts are getting used to my new soil after being grown in coco.

Tent gear:
*1 2*2*2 meter grow tent
*1 HP air conditioner
*4 1*1m trays set for a run to waste system
*1 6" vent + carbon filter
*2 fans

Currently all plants but 2 GD cuts are in 3.5L pots of soil. 20 of them will be transplanted into 40L pots for flowering in a week or so.

Day 5 of veg

Flowering day 2

Had problems with the design of the room so I ended up redoing the whole op.
Climate control is extremely better now.

Roots are poking around the pots with 3 waterings of 1 liter every day (ambient humidity is low now) straight from the tap. Got the runoff collection going straight to the pipes (FUCK YOU WALL!!)
Now this system is starting to look good, but quite some tweaking are to be done.

I'll get pictures up when something interesting will happen

Starting week 2 of flowering today

All plants are happily growing, climate control is being dialled.
A few, namely the Golden Diesel, have too many branches and thus stay shorter than some others. I hope they will yield properly.

Yesterday I did some LST training on 2 plants that got too tall for the setup. Seems like I made the switch to flowering at just the right time - which how the stretch looks like the LEDs will be hung by the frame (their current highest level) after the stretching is over.


Yesterday I dropped some new beans for the next cycle, wish me luck!
The beans that are popping are:
Yekke Seeds - Golden Diesel F4 #3 (x11)
Brothers Grimm - Apollo 13 (x10)
CBD Crew - CBD Skunk Haze (x3)
Delicatessen Seeds - Lilly (x6)
Reservoir Seeds - Chemdog IBL (x11)

Also popped a few (5?) auto seeds I got from 710 Genetics (no clue what the strain name is, got it for free in a convention). I might pop some more autos as time goes to fill up the veg cabinet, but I will mostly not cover them in my diaries.

Hey fonzee,

Thanks for posting in.

Gonna be interesting to see if the lines has progressed towards the desired goals and the added new varieties to search through for suitable cultivars.

Great to see the flower sets.

Any stand outs so far, in terms of Terpenes or Cannabinoid production(visually?)

Day 42 of flowering:
Some plants show deficiencies, some do not. There will obviously be a need for dialing in the mix in each pot.
Overall, for a first run with the soil, it looks fair.
Barely any smell in the room, this cut is surely low profile in this aspect.

Yo camping
I think my mix is pretty good as it is, might be missing some K but nothing serious. The LED lights provided the center of the grow with a lot of light bleaching which might seem like a deficiency - but I couldn't see any serious deficiency in the plants while harvesting.

The recipe I'm using is 50% compost and 50% coco-perlite
The compost is around 90% veggie compost 10% horse manure aged for 3 years. I add about 2 tablespoons of wood ash per pot (40L) for K at week 2-3 of flowering.

I'll add you to the group once you have 50 messages, can not do it before you advance to 'member'. Send me a PM once you're there
