|Sweet Afgani Delicious Auto + Speed Devil #1 & #2|

Hi friends!

Here we are once again. As I've already finished my first grow diary with autoflowering strains I'm starting another one with SAD Auto and Speed Devil (#1 and #2). As the goal of this grow is a bit different, maybe the diary will not be so interesting to you, but well, in the end of this post I leave you the info about the goals so you can get an idea, hehehehe, because if you know the goals it will be a bit interesting, obviously.


:|Grow Details|:

• Closet: Homebox XS (60cm x 60cm x 120cm / 2ft x 2ft x 4ft)
• Ventilation: Extractor RVK 100 A1 (160m3/h) and 2 Sunon (one blowing air against the lamp and the other against the plants)
• Light: 36wCFL for the first 8 days, HPS70w from day 8 to day 20 and HPS400w from day 20 to harvest
• Containers: 4 pots of 200ml for the first 8 days, 4 pots of 3 litres from day 8 to day 20 and 2 pots of 18 litres + 2 pots of 11 litres for flowering (from day 21 to harvest)
• Soil: For vegetative Canna Professional and for flowering Canna Professional Plus
• Ferts: GuanoKalong Liquid Guano, Canna BioVega, Canna BioFlores and Canna BioBoost
• Against plagues: Neem as preventive and Rotenona to fight them, if needed

• 18h - 24h: 1 Speed Devil #2 sprouted
• 24h - 36h: 1 Speed Devil #2 and 1 SAD Auto sprouted
• 36h - 48h: All sprouted > 2 SAD Auto, 1 Speed Devil #1 and 1 Speed Devil #2

:|Goals|:

• 1 - Manage to get a good SAD Auto and a good Speed Devil #2 to make fotos of plants with an even better production than what I'm used to get with 7 litre pots. Less plants but more productive. The total final production will obviously be inferior... but superior in terms of production per plant;
  
  
• 2 - Compare the production of an autoflowering grown with 10 litres of soil with the production of a plant of the same variety grown with the same grow parameters but with 15 litres of soil. This will be done with the two SAD Auto, with which I expect to obtain 2 homogenous plants (which is not always easy when growing from seed) being the production of the 2 plants the only difference;
  
  
• 3 - Compare the genetics of Speed Devil #1 with the genetics from Speed Devil #2. One will be flowered with 10 litres of soil and the other with 15 litres but I guess we will see some differences;
  
  
• 4 - Observe if with a 70wHPS lamp very close to the plants in the vegetative phase the plants stay shorter than in my previous grow and see how this will (or will not) influence the final production.

Once the seeds are in the soil I will leave the plants with a friend for a week, so next update will only be at day 8 or something like that. After that I will update every 5 days or even more often than that.

So, that's it for today, hope you enjoy this diary and the other I'm starting right now with the Snow Fruit micro scrog

Keep it high, sweet regards,

Nice Tommy, i'm tagged
18L seems a little overkill to me for an AF but we'll see

Hi Costello! Thanks for your visit, hope you enjoy this diary

Yep, sounds like a little too much, doesn't it? Hehehe... that's why I'm trying this, to see if it makes any difference by using 18 litre pots or if the plants produce the same as with 11 litre pots. Nice to know you are also curious about it, keep passing by,

Sweet regards,

.:|Day 16 since germination|:.

Hi mates!

Well, this may be one of the poorest updates, hehehe, they are just 5-10cm far away from the lamp which leaves no space for good pictures. But well, in the next update I'll take them out of the mini closet to transplant them to the final pots so you'll be able to see some better pics. Plants keep growing well, almost with no stretch at all being so close to the HPS lamp, which makes the internodal space to be very short. I remind you that I'm testing with the first 20 days since germination like this, always very near to the lamp, to confirm that they stay short but very productive.






Watering Report:

• pH of the water: 6,2
• Fertilizer: Nothing yet
• Bloom stimulator: No
• Quantity of water per plant: 200ml (3l pots)
• Watering frequency: once every 2 days

• Humidity without HPS: 70%

Color scale > Green: optimal | Orange: satisfying | Brown: worrying | Red: dangerous



And that's it for today, at day 19 I'll be back with pics of the transplant to the final pots.

Stay cool, sweet smokes
