What's up Steem on Weed! So it has been a little over a month since I started my new Weedcash exclusive grow log. Since last post my Santa Kandy Seedlings have grown exponentially. I do have to say, they are developing some character. I am loving the way these plants are looking! For those of you just tuning in, Santa's Kandy is a strain that was created with the same dad as Steem Og. Steem Og is a project I started to show my love to the Steem Blockchain. The idea was a simple one. Cross my female Tahoo Og x Og, to an Inca Gold male, and then send out seeds to other Steemians. The hope was a group pheno hunt, and also give other Steemians the tool to promote, not only themselves, but our wonderful platform. Well here we are almost 2 years later, and Steem Og lives!
Just check out the tag Steemog. So far there have been 7 Steemians who have grew out the Steem Og, two of them who are actually growing them as we speak, , and
. Skyline actually just finished one, which you can check out here, Drutter had some unfortunate luck of getting some herms on his current one, which you can check out here. It has been grown in 4 states, and 3 countries! Well it dont stop there, I just got word from
, that Steem Og has been added into his game as a limited edition seed! Check out the post here. What a cool honor, but a even more cool testament to the Steem Block chain! You see, Steem Og is more then just a strain. Steem Og is an idea. An idea to bring people together. Even though all the other Steem Og growers are many miles away, we have grown very close, like brothers and sisters, and in
case, brosisters, ;)
So time for the update on my two Santa Kandy cannabis plants.
(Steem Og male x Kandy Kush female)
So much growth in just 33 days! They sure are loving the Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil. Also I am very pleased with my LED's performance. I am using a 20/4 light schedule, with only the VEG mode on the Maxisun 300 Watt LED. I am using no added fertilizer, and have only switched from tap water, to spring water that has a PH around a 6.
After a month they are at the 4 node mark. This is when I like to top. I like to use the FIM Method, so that way I have multiple colas on the top.
Now more energy can be directed to the bottom of the plant.
I will continue to water with the spring water, and maintain the 20/4 light cycle to continue the vegetative stage. By the time these will need nutrients, I will have them transplanted into bigger pots. I have decided to do living soil, and will discuss this in a future post. I have already ordered all I need for a decent setup. I can't wait! All I am doing until then, is bending the top of the plants every now and then to let more light penetrate the bottom, and doing this helps strengthen the stem. So far I am keeping to the rule of keeping it simple, and it is working great for me. One thing I am considering on doing is using the living soil for one plant, and then using bottled nutes for the other. If you think I should do this for post and Weedcash promotion purposes, please let me know in the comments. Until then, stay tuned for the transformation from closet grow, to tent grow. Peace!
