Here is my 2010 crop mainly from mandala seeds including :
satori : mandala seeds company,indicosativa hybrid ,regular,3 plants
Hashbery:Mandala seeds,Indica dominant,regular, 1 plant
White Widow:Nirvana seeds,regular,1 plant
Seedling Date 11/29/2009
For germination I put them directly into the rockwool (no soaking according to Mandala seeds).germination rate was %100.
I vegged them under T12 fluorescent for 10 days then moved them under 600 watt Metal Halide(conversion Bulb) for 18 days more and then switched the light to 12/12 in the end of fourth week.
I wanted to compare 3 part advanced nutrient with 3 part General hydroponics so Devided them in two group and at the end of the 10th day since advanced gave me much better result i swithed all of them to 3 part advanced nutrient with no other additives for the whole vegging process.
For bloom I swithed to connoiseur (AN) and added bud blood the first week and big bud the second week.
EC: Mike of Mandala seeds insisits that their strains do not need too much nutrient and he is absolutely right.They grow fantastic with EC of about
0.6 in my hydroponic system
1st week EC: 0.3
2nd week 0.5
3rd week 0.7
4rth week 0.85
And now in the third week of bloom EC is about 1 and PH has been fluctuating between 5.2 to 6.3.
Light: I switch between 600 watt metal halide and 1000 watt HPS every other day. they are both hang on a light mover and swithing between them is done by two programmable Timer.
I use Reverse Osmosis water with EC of 12 .
temperature is between 22 to 27 during the light cycle and 19 or more in dark cycle.
The room is peach black during the dark cycle.
I change the reservoir every 10 to 14 days and then use the nutrient for my outdoor garden . ( this summer our garden had some beautifull colorfull flowers and i could not tell to my neighbour what the hell has happened to my garden that is so healthy)!!!
I do not use extra CO2 .The ventilation is through fan that blows frsh air directly over the plants. I keep the Humidity around 40 to %60.
The temperature of the grow room( which i call it Therapy room) never exceeds 29 'C and never falls below 19.
Humidity is fixed and if it exceeds %80 during the dark cycle the dehumidifier begins to work but in reality it happens once in a blue moon.
Satori: I love this strain so far.It is a vigour and healthy plant that seems to grow tall ( i am trying to keep them short by using metal halide every other day which seems it is working since the stem thickness is way better than the height of the plants.).
Hashbery: is a dark green ,healthy,short,kind of bushy,noninvasive plant .When I rub my hands to its leaves i smell a toch of bubblegum in it but the bud's smell is still to come to be judged
.
about %50 of my satoris and %25 of Hashberies!! showed preflowers in the third wk of veg.
Almost all the taller ,stronger plants of both strains turned to male that was first dissapointing but when the females got the chance to shine they rocked.
By deleting males and weak plants i ended up with 3 satori,1 hashbery and one White widow (nirvana).
I do not train my plants.
Root formation Of satori is exceptional and hashbery has been the third best in my collection ( white russian being the second).
Adaptation of satori to available space is very smart and Hashbery is more about keep itself tidy and stirdy and short.
Both the strains are late bloomers and satori in special is behind at the moment compare to my white widow.
They seems to be very good heat resistant strains.
If every things goes smooth I will update you guys by weekly photos.
I deeply appreciate any comment or critisism or suggestion. I prefer to call myself ""Always newbie".
Peace for all the growers
