Chong's semi-guerrilla adventure @47N 2013

[Chong]

Hi guys!


Its outdoor time again. I will update this tread once a week, this time from germination to curing
All pictures are made with Nikon coolpix L820.

I started germinating on 20.4
Currently im growing just Peyote Purple, 4/5 girls germinated.
3 of them on 24.4 and one on 26.4.
Here they are 4 days old on 28.4

Girl 1

Girl 2

Girl 3

Rough plan till moving to outdoors:

Soil: Compo sana for start
1 week in 2dl cups
3.5 weeks in 2.5l pots
total of 1 month veg
no aditonal fertilzer, just plain water
time is kinda sinhronized with the longest day on 22.6
lights are on for 17 hours
from 4.30 AM - 9.30 PM

Box (inside);

28x56x56
I can have 6 1 month old plants in this
3x20w cfl, 6500k, 3x 1350lm= 4050lm
2 vents, powered by phone charger
some tin foil

I plan to move them out on may 25.

Thats it for now

Happy growing season! Keep us updated!

Nice...you will need a lot of luck growing outdoors in your country...a lot of animal,mold,bad weather and thief problems. But when it is over and you are done with minimum 1plant it is still worth the risk. I will start 1 week before you not because of the low night temperature, but because i am still waiting for the preflowers to show M'ladies.
BTW where did you get this strain and what is it like?

 

[Chong]

I hope for at least 2 finished females 50% chance heh. Strain is from Cannabiogen (charlie garcia) i belive its the best seed bank out there.

I didnt smoke or grow it yet, but i will set 1 example:

IC STRAIN GUIDE (https://www.icmag.com/modules/ICStrainguide/index.php?eop=showreport&id=379)




a cannaseur ganja if there ever was one. excellent and rare pedigree, little variation, gorgeous, tasty, and blissfully potent. yield could absolutely be improved with topping and a longer veg, take it through 9 weeks for complete purpling and rock hard buds. a little nitrogen sensitive. which can result in brittle stalks. would make an incredible house plant.


From cannabiogen site, official description:

Bank: CannaBioGen
Type: Indica Bubba Kush
Flowering: 8-9 weeks
Yield: Average

Delicious and spectacular hybrid originated in US of stimulant and uplighting indica effect. It is harvested in 8-9 weeks. Sweet aromas to incence, earth with touches of mango, metalic and shampoo. Is a fantastic high quality resin producer. Its been developed several generations from an isolated purple pheno segregated from Bubba Kush. Due giving a few males in its offspring, line is offered as regular seeds, 10 seeds per pack but results tell about a very extremelly high average of females

Some say its a cross between pre98 bubba kush (bushy)and the katsu(slender) version, both are amazing. I hope i will get both

Hi guys,

sorry no pictures this time, they will be next week. I dont have my camera at home.
Girls are doing fine, i transplanted them 3 days ago (friday) into 2.5l pots.
1 aditional girl which i didnt show because it was 2 days later then this 3 was eaten by a slug, i have no idea how it got into the grow box, there is simply no space for it to crawl in i killed it with salt then

So i plan to transplant them sometime between 25 and 27 may, this year i may try out swamptubes.

Quick update

Girls are 18 days old now,
for 9 days they were in 2dl cups, then they went to 2.5l pots.

#1

#2

#3

I like the way the girl #1 grows, its short n bushy, its already making the 4th set.
The other 2 are a bit behind, making their 3rd set.

I think possible phenotypes are

#1 Katsu pheno
#2 Pre98 pheno
# A mutant

I started germinating Panama x DC seedlings on May 10th

just wanted to show a comparison, my PP plants are now exactly 3 weeks old
these seedlings are less than a day
if you think about it thats a massive difference in just 3 weeks, keep in mind some say PP isnt a fast growing plant

Btw inside dimensions are 28 x 56 cm or 11 x 22 inch if you want

and a random seedling

6/6 germination rate, one is a bit behind but is growing as well

Thats how P x DC should look at the end, looking forward to it

 

[Chong]

Yo, just a small update.

Best PP girl @25 days

She is now a foot wide, and just half foot tall
I think she is the best looking MJ plant i have grown, at least for this age.
Notice the purple stem

 

[Withoutatrace]

Nice strain

 

[Chong]

So since i need to plant this girls in less than a week i figured i wil post my simple soil recipe, simple because i tried to keep the price down, tell me what you guys think.

Basic:
250l white peat moss = 12 euro
70l mix compost (horse, sheep, cow) = 11 euro
100l perlite = 12 euro


Aded amendments:
Rock dust(lava rock) 20l=11 euro >>>1% per mix
Peleted chicken manure 15l=5 euro >>>2% per mix
Composting agent 2l=12 euro >>> 0.1% per mix

Total cost and volume:
250+70+100 =420l
5+10+0.5l = 15.5l
Total volume 435l
Total cost 47 euro / 16 euro per plant

Each plant gets 145l / 40 gallon
hole size: 70cm x 70cm x 30cm or in inches

28 x 28 x 12

The thing is i am a bit late, i havent dug holes yet so the soil mix wont be "cooked" as they say but all in all i think its ok.

Tell me if i am missing something important, for example i wanted to add see weed extract but is a bit pricey (1kg = 12.5 euro), i dont need water chrystals on this spot.

I will add some other stuff when needed during the season, probably

chicken manure
guano
molasses
worm castings

 

[Chong]

So i transplanted the girl with the nicest structure yesterday
since she is my favorite she has got the nicest soil mix i could afford

So i dug a nice 200l hole for it 30 x 30 x 14 and put in there

1 70l packed soil for flowers
1/2 of 70l composted (cow, horse, sheep) manure
36l of coco peat
2l chicken manure
2l lava rock
0.5l composting agent
0.25l guano for tomatoes

total cost was about 28 euro for the mix
the rest of it is a nice black soil from the spot about 50l

The other 2 girls will have to wait for a day or 2

no pictures for now

 

[Chong]

So here are the panama DC plants in the bigger pots they are now in for 2 days

This is my favorite PP

I have to say i applied some fungicide thats way it looks like it does

My other 2 PP

As you can see it was very windy today

They have much more sun in this spot than my favorite but its not as secure, the local soil is also black but a bit better so i didnt add so much stuff for them, but
they both have 200l holes as well, amended with:
2l chicken manure
2l lava rock
1/4 of 70l compost (cow, sheep, horse)
0.5l of composting agent

As you can see they didnt grow that much from day 25 to day 32 in the growbox, but they started to develop the side branches and all 3 plants have a nice root system, the pots were completely filled with roots

P.S: Thx for joining skype and withoutatrace

 

[Chong]

Things are getting interesting

till today it was a bad weather for whole 2 weeks
finally some sun today

i am starting my 10 week countdown of proper veg today
i figure till avgust 11 (10)or max august 18 (11)the PP will veg, because at august 18 we have 14h long day

here is my #1 PP

Its now 13 inch tall, 15.5 wide and is making its 6th set

pictures of other plants in 1-2 days

 

[Chong]

Update

PP#1

So i lsted this one because it was getting taller by each day today it was 50cm high, 50cm wide

PP#2

PP#3

There has been rain for 2 weeks (all the time girls are out), but as you see the #2 & #3 are getting much more sun as they are having nice side growth and remain small so i probably wont bent this 2.

Phenotypes:

I guess i have both katsu (#1,) and pre98 (#3) pheno and something in between (#2)

Looking forward to the rest of the season as there is summer just around the corner hehe

 

[Chong]

Here are the Panama DC plants 4 weeks old now

In few days they are going out. Actually i am surprised they are so short, i think even PP was taller a bit

possible phenos:

1st on the front left and last on the right back are more to the DC side, both are green

1st on the back left and last on the front back are more panama and they have both nice violet stems

2nd in front and 2nd in the back are kinda balanced even with color some green and violet mix

 

[Chong]

So all the plants are now out, here they are before planting.

I already planted 2 Panama DC plants that were a good mix of both, will post them next week

These are 3 most sativa looking, all have purple stems, but its not so apperent in pictures

The forth plant is the most DC dominant of all

The sativas will grow at about 800m elevation on the sunny side

I brought the DC dominant plant down on lower like 350m elevation because i ran out of medium.

I had 1 250l lithuanian peat moss
about 50l of a material simmilar to perlite
and some organic fertilizer
rockdust
water retaining crystals

All 3 plants have about 100l pots.

I hope all will finish in time and no rippers this year.

 

[Chong]

Summer solstice
Here are my PP #2 & #3 plants from my sunniest patch.

They are about 8 weeks old now and have 8 weeks of proper veg left.
I dont think these are slow at all, they are both 2 feet tall now and nicely branched all over so they have some good potencial, they will blow up from on

Where is the Update MrChong?
