Paradise Diesel

[b.real]

whatsup guys!? im brand new to these forums and growing, but i have grown two bagseed before these plants, and my god..what a 'faliure' it was. both ended up dying. i was over watering, over feeding (with chemical nutes) and i just wasnt taking care of the plants properly. the experience did smarten me up though, and now i think i know what im doing..kinda haha.

this is gonna be a micro grow, and its gonna be a perpetual one. i plan on sowing two new seeds every 4-5 weeks, but if the plants branch out enough (before week three of flower) and give me an extra node to cut, i might try cloning.

so right now im growing nyc diesel x dutch indica which is mainly sativa. they say they smell and taste of grapefruit.

"Characteristics:
Type: Mostly Sativa
Flowering time: 65 days indoors.
Outdoors: End of October between 50° n.L. and 50° s.L.
Yield: 400 g per m2 indoors on soil ; 600 g per plant outside
Effect / Buzz : Powerful, overwhelming, uplifting.
Smell/Taste: Sour grapefruit.
THC : 18 +%
"

on deck i have one more feminized nyc diesel x dutch indica seed, two regular nirvana nypd beans (nyc diesel x nothern lights x afghan) and two regular nirvana masterkush beans (kush x skunk)

im currently using nine cfls, to give me a total of 170-180 watts, and 11820-12000. my bulbs are rated at a 80+ color rendering index.

nyc diesel x dutch indica seeds broke soil 1/7
basil broke soil 1/7
tomato broke soil 12/13

so nyc diesel x dutch indica seeds are about three weeks old, and they just showed me sex.

right now i am using half gallon pots on the acids, but since my grow room is so small, next time im gonna use 1/4 gallon containers.

im using scotts premium potting soil right now. just ran out of soil, so im gonna need a new soil. any suggestions? im thinking about switching to coir IF i can treat the coco like i treat my soil.

to start supersoil, i mix composted manure, bone meal, feather meal and potash. then i will be feeding with a bloom specific nute when the cannabis start to flower.

i have not given the nyc diesel x dutch indica's any food since they hatched, and i wont until they start begging me for food. no food during veg.

showed me female preflowers around week three of 12/12 from seed.

thanks for tagging along!!

heres the four week update. nyc diesel x dutch indica's are 4 weeks old today, as is basil.

clone is standing up tall this morning, even with the heat of the lights. she loved willow acid and the hormone. i might even feed seedlings with it. i made acid/hormone out of young willow tree branches/bark.

 

[b.real]

they are a month old today, so i trained the tall pheno and i fed both of them for the first time.

just getting into puberty so well see how they grow!

 

[b.real]

current paradise acid plants are 5 weeks old today..i saw pre flowers around week 3..so theyre are about 2 weeks into flower.

fed for the second time tonight. gonna feed every week in bloom and see what happens.

 

[small420]

Im in! I do 12/12 from seed also.

 

[b.real]

glad to you have you along.

i currently have two regular nirvana master kush seeds germinating and i will be running them (in a new journal) on 14-16 hrs of veg for one week, to see if i can get them to sexually mature faster.

so far, all plants on 12/12 from seed have preflowerd around week 3.

 

[b.real]

week three of flower..gave them a feeding tonight. almost a foot tall and almost half a foot tall. flowering stretch has ended on these paradise acids..time for buds to get laid down heavy i hope. this is my first time going through a run, dont know what to expect.

 

[b.real]

fourth week of flowering. says it has to go 9.5 weeks before i can harvest. i need these puppies to hurry up.

i ordered a new light. i hope i get it sometime next week.

 

[b.real]

week five of flower.

group shot then pictures of tall pheno. looks like it will produce a lot better than the runt pheno.

they both smell identical, like sour fruit up close. very nice.

 

[b.real]

runt phenotype

also scoped her and im looking at all frosty already. will it grow new trichs, or is this what im working with? ir tells me its a 9.5 week strain, but i wont complain if it finishes early, i need to make room.

thanks

hey lookin good matey ive grown acid before shes a stinker alrite lol! atb dood and as alwayz nuff respect......

 

[b.real]

thanks bruh! how would you compare the smell vs kush, skunk, purple, haze?

i need a stealth grow so im thinking about growing northern lights solely from now on, but i love my sativas.

thinking about getting sensi seeds northern lights x haze, but i dont want it to smell, and i dont want to spend that much money! sensi and white seeds charges so much for their beans!

ive got one feminized thc bomb seed im gonna do before the hot months, so lookout for that journal too. thanks for stopping by!

edit: just learned that this paradise acid is nyc diesel which is chemdawg x skunk x northern lights.

WORD

 

[Alkhemist]

looking good brother!

starting to mature into apple-bottom hunnies! keep up the good work

 

[b.real]

thank you, and its about time haha. took me so long to get growing down.

so..this is chemdawg x skunk x northern lights. all three are are indica heavy, right? but this has a 10 week flowering time. why is that?

 

[BIGBADBAZ]

hey to me the acid smelled a bit like sour diesal which is basicly graipfruit,ish!
just try and see the gennetic make-up and just stay away from anything skunk related but thats still not garanteed cuz most will smell!
give the nl5 haze a go but i dont if it will have a neutral smell! a lot of indicas will have some sativa lurking in there genetic make-up and
when they breed it can show up and that might be the specific pheno they go with! The opposite of this is for example DNA genetics canalope haze, it grows/tastes and gives a sativa high but only 8wk flower time! Hope that helps atb and as alwayz nuff respect.....

 

[nwgreenz]

Props. Lookin really good.

 

[b.real]

a day shy of 6 weeks into flower..we are all frosty, checked both plants tonight..any time now i think and hope. plant is a total of 9 weeks old.

tall pheno will be a producer. i guess the northern lights is showing through on the short one, and the sativa in the chem and skunk on the tall one..or something lol. they smell the same. just wish both were tall producers.

tall pheno didnt take well to the feeding though, so im easing up on her this week.

runt pheno

tall pheno

 

[Alkhemist]

looking OH SO sticky dude! stick-to-the-wall tacky can hardly wait to hear what she tastes like nice job

 

[b.real]

that last picture will be next weeks sample..im too impatient haha. first ever grown bud! so happy. thanks so much for the kind comments, i really am enjoying this place.

i did try growing two plants prior to this..it was UGLY, but it was a learning experience.

smells like fueled cheese haha.

 

[Alkhemist]

ya gosta love some of these descriptions slightly diesel, a hint of lemon oven cleaner finishing in the back of the throat with some pungent yet full bodied cheese! i can hardly wait to taste some of that fueled cheesey flavour man! esp in the OG-K! intense fuel crossed with lemon cleaner taste

dude, i hear ya re the impatient thing! im ALWAYS like that when it comes to checking the trichs every other day and waiting waiting waiting... its a hard test brother and i fully feel ya there loL

and congrats on your first BUD!! woot!
