Hello dudes;

I'm gonna be growing some plants here in Galicia, at latitude 43º. This is my second grow ever; first been last summer with some autos. Results were not that good to be honest, but experience was acquired.

After much research, I decided to go with some feminized ACE seeds. And the chosen ones are:

* 3x Bangi Haze
* 2x PCK x Kali China(PCKC from now on) (originally they were 3 seeds, but I messed up 1. Totally my fault)
* 2x Malawi

I have trust in the Bangis and PCKCs to make it to the harvest in good conditions, and I have hope in the Malawis. With my 23 years of experience on this planet, I'm almost sure that this is not going to be the best summer ever, and weather forecasts agree with me so far. Let's hope this situation changes.

I will share most of my notes, but I have to translate them first (so if you detect any fails, let me know and I will try to improve [for example: at, in, on, verbal times... badly used], so I will try to update once every week (if it is not too much to handle).

The plants are on day 2, starting day 3 just now. I have them in 1-1'3L (not sure) little pots, with Composana Universal; I don't like the texture of the soil, therefore I will mix it with coco when the first transplant comes. The plan is to grow them in two different locations, starting them all off at Location#1, and then move some to Location#2:

Location#1 -> Genetics: 2xPCKC, 1xBH // Transplant plan: 1'3L to 3'25L to 10L
Location#2 -> Genetics: 2xMalawi, 2xBH // Transplant plan: 1'3L to 5L to 17L+

As you can see I'm not sure how the last transplant at Location#2 will be. 17L minimum since those are the pots I already have, but I don't know... maybe they can be placed in 25L. I expect your opinion on this subject.

The issue I had last year was Calcium and Magnesium defficiency (and probably PH, but i'm not sure as I cannot measure it), because my water comes out at 25-34ppm and 6'5-6'8ph, and I thought that the fertilizers I was using had that covered, but I was dead wrong. This year that won't happen again (maybe some PH issues, because I still cannot measure it), but i will try to not overdoit either.

Well, with that said I leave you with my first notes, covering the germination and 2 first days of life:

| 03/June: |
______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ____________
00:10 ->

Bangi Haze: 3 seeds soaking in water.
Malawi: 2 seeds soaking in water. One of them sank right away.
PCKC: 3 seeds soaking in water. One of them sank right away.

17:00 -> All the seeds were placed in the "ovni" system.



| 04/June: |
______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ____________
5:45 -> 7 of the 8 seeds are showing the ¿radicle? already. Only one BH left, that is starting to crack.


| 05/June: |
______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ____________
05:00 -> The two Malawis, two of the Bangis and two PCKCs were placed in the pots. One of the bangis is a little bit late, but it's showing a really nice, thick radicle.
The other PCKC suffered an incident, caused by me. She fought hard to live, but I had to end her suffering. Don't judge me, I feel bad enough already.



| 06/June: |
______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ____________
00:15 -> The third Bangi (the late one) was moved to soil. She is showing some strenght!!

14:30 -> One of the Malawi, Awi to be precise (Malawi#2), just sprouted. Mala (Malawi#1) is still undergound.
BH#2 wants to sprout, but not there yet.
PCKC#2 is showing her head, PCKC#1 is underground.

19:15 -> Moved to a place with more sunlight.

23:00 -> Back inside. Mala is trying to look at the sun, but the shell it's still on her way, almost there baby, c'mon! Awi is all alright, showing off in front of her sister.

BH#2 sprouted, but the shell was glued to her, so I decided to go ahead and remove it with all the care a newbie can have BH#1 is almost there, and BH#3 nothing yet (but almost)

PCKC#2 is out. PCKC#1 is almost there.


| 07/June: | (Day 1)
______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ____________
16:00 -> All the seedling are out! Even BH#3, that was the last to be planted.

16:45 -> Moved to a place with more sunlight. Soil is a little wet. I will water them tomorrow morning, probably



| 08/June: | (Day 2)
______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ____________
08:30 ->

7 day mark update:

| 09/June: | (Dday 3)
______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ____________
8:30 -> They go Outside.

19:30 -> It's raining a little, and the soil it's really wet, so I'm gonna move them inside. There is almost no sun, and it's not like i'm drepriving them of rainwater, since next week rains for sure and that will be their watering.

* Max Temp ------- : 24'1º
* Min Temp -------- : 14º
* Hours of Sunlight : 7
* General Weather : Sunny morning until 12-12:30.Then clouds and sun, and after grey clouds that end up dropping some rain. Wind was soft and nice, fresh in the morning and warmer later; intensity increases at 18:30 aprox.

| 10/Junio: | (Día 4)
______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ____________
12:30 -> They go outside, too cloudy and rainy until now. Stems are really soft; i'm guessing it's because all this humidity.

23:59 -> Go back inside. The Malawis are still too wet, the BH's more or less, and the PCKC's are the dryest ones. I don't get this difference this early, maybe it's because the sun don't hit them all the same.

Stems are harder now, except the Malawi ones.

BH#2 seems not to be growing properly.

* Max Temp ------- : 25º
* Min Temp ------- : 15º
* Direct Sunlight : 4'5

As you can see, BH#2 is not developing how she is supossed to. She seem alright healthwise, but she is not showing any signs of progress, unlike the rest of the plants. Let's see what happens with this one.

[Holeshot]

Seem to be coming along nicely. Just chopped my first Bangi Haze. Buds were firm and greasy. Lemon lime with a hint of muskyness

[vcasqui]

Hey Holeshot. Yep, I've seen your thread. The Bangi you show there looks good, I hope my BH3 will be something like yours :P. I'm also waiting for the smoke report haha.

Today my babys are sleeping outside, so I will update tomorrow with pics.

[Holeshot]

Should be nice. I have Congo ready to chop in a few weeks , can't wait for that one.

[vcasqui]

Well, I was writing my post, then I pressed the back button and now I have nothing. I'm not in the mood to rewrite it again so:

Plants are OK, day 23 now. A little small and yellow because they have been on 1'3L untill yesterday and they needed food and space. I couldn't ransplant them earlier, but they show nice roots despite lack of food and excess of heat.

Now I have: BH1, BH3, PCKC1, PCKC2, Mala, Awi, Violeta2.

BH2, the mutant, is dead. She didn't make it. And 2 of my violetas were murdered by birds.

Overall weather: A fuckton of Sun lately, with no rain and almost no clouds. With a superstrong wind all day and night long. Temps are crazy high where I have the plants, hitting 34º-36º more often than I would like; fortunately, the strong wind comes from the North, and it's cold, so that helps.

I will try to take upload pics soon.

[vcasqui]

OK, so I have a problem with the birds. They like aluminium paper too much I think, so I need to think a way to cover the pots. Maybe white paper will do.

Here are all the plants, and then the PCKC's and Malawis.

As you can see they are not as good as they could, let's see how they develop.

[vcasqui]

And now the Bangis. As you can see they are different from eachother, and I think that they don't smell the same either (maybe too soon yet). Maybe different phenos? But I read that Bangi Hazes don't differ too much from one another so, what do you think?
