Dinafem Remo Chemo (photo) & Blue Amnesia XXL (auto)

[The Dalai Farmer]

Hi all and welcome
Firstly I'd like to say a huge thankyou to @Dinafem-Mark for supplying the seeds
I shall be growing 1 Remo Chemo and 1 Blue Amnesia xxl, if all goes to plan that is This will be my first proper Dinafem grow, I did grow the Auto Cookies for the Solo Cup Comp, with ok results, but this will be my first in a more man sized pot
Kit List
Lighting
Mars Hydro TSW 2000
Tent
80cm x 80cm x 160cm
Extractor & Filter
4in Swiftair Filter & 5in cheap crappy Inline extractor
Fans
2 x 6in Oscillating Monkey Fans
Pots & Grow Medium
12l Root Nurse Fabric Pots with Canna Coco/Pebble mix 60/40
Nutes
GHE Flora Micro, Grow & Bloom, Vitalink Cal/Mag & Ph Down and Tap Water.
Week 1
Germinate
For germing I used the wet paper towel method, firstly I wet a paper towel and lightly wrung out, then placed seeds on and folded over a couple of times, then in a ziploc bag and left in boiler cupboard.
Next day they both had a little tail, so I planted them in solo cups with Coco/Perlite, (as I was going to do the grow in that before I got the Coco/Pebble mix), within 2 days they had both popped up, though the RC arrived quite a few hours later

Blue Day 2

Blue Day 7

I'm gonna give them a couple of weeks in the solo cups, then transfer them both to 12l pots and probably top em soon as they've recovered That's about it for now, stay safe everyone

Week 2
So far everything is looking ok I transferred them both to they're new homes yesterday, Blue day 12 and Remo day 11 and we'll see how they do over the next few days
I had started them both on a nute feed at day 3 of, GHE Flora Micro 0.6ml/l, Grow 0.9ml/l, Bloom 0.3ml/l and Vitalink Cal/Mag 1.2ml/l ph'd to around 6 ish, I also bought some MULTI MITE® Organic Liquid Seaweed Concentrate and I've gave them a shower in that a couple of times at lights off, I wasn't sure of how much to give so I started at around 3ml/l and I'll gradually up it over the next few weeks and see if that helps any At the moment I have the light as high as it will go, mainly because I adopted one of my son in laws plants as it got too big for his tent, but also I was hoping to get them to stretch a little anyway. I couldn't decide on a 20/4 or an 18/6 light cycle, so I put them on a 19/5 This is also my first grow using the Mars TSW 2000 and first time using the Coco/Pebble mix but so far so good.
Blue Day 12

Remo Day 11

Quick update
Both girls are looking healthy and growing nicely after they're transplant to the big boy pots I fed them to run off a day after transplant and I'll let them dry out a little before I give em another feed in a day or so
Blue looks to be staying quite short and stocky and is looking a more uniform shape.
Blue Amnesia xxl
Day 15

Remo on the other hand, she's looking a little funkier taller and a tad wider, but still a node behind Blue and for the last few days she's spent most of the time praying

Day 14

I'll update again in a few days, probably when I top them Till then, take care everyone it's a shitty world out there

Week 3
Topped both the girl's today above the 4th node
Before

After and a few hours later

Blue Day 18
She seems to of taken the topping in her stride, already the 2 new top shoots have grown above the cut line really looking healthy and a nice colour, sort of a petroly look with the different shades of green

Remo Day 17
She's definitely a weird looking mama she has what I can only describe as, leaves like a cabbage I've not had one look like this before, big old leaves but not very serrated, almost rounded and she's still doing a fair bit of praying, mornings she's usually ok, but further into the day the leaves start pointing up as I say I'm unfamiliar with anything like it before, so is this normal @Dinafem-Mark and is there anything I should do to remedy it? She's looking healthy enough so I'm not too worried, but better safe than sorry

Till next time

Week 4
Remo is still being a pain, the fan leaves on her are absolutely massive now and I think stopping most of the light getting to the new shoots. I assume she's not getting enough light, because the shoots haven't grown anywhere near the length as they have on Blue So I think I'm going to have to remove the top two fans tomorrow and see if that helps any I'm only going to be veggin her for a month anyway, so the more growth the better, as long as she doesn't get too tall that is, as I have to put her in a dark cupboard for her 12 hrs of dark, when the time comes, and its not a very tall cupboard
Remo Chemo Day 22

As for Blue, I think she at least read the memo and is looking pretty normal, I managed to get all 8 heads to around the same height and a nice uniform shape, with a little leaf tucking, and so far she's looking pretty good
Blue Amnesia xxl Day 23

I'm watering to run off every 2 or 3 days, still on the same strength feed and I'm giving them a good shower with the Seaweed every few days too

Well onwards and upwards, till next time

Week 4
Just a quick update
I removed the top and bottom set of fan leaves on Remo today, as they were far too big and blocking out so much light and I tied down, as best I could, most of the shoots just to open and spread her out, hopefully that helps as at the moment she's not enjoying life as much as Blue and is looking a little worse for wear also Blue has really stretched the last few days and is twice the size of Remo now
Remo Day 25 & Blue Day 26

and Blue's started flashing her lady bits

I'll update again in a few days and hopefully by then, Remo will be looking a bit happier ttfn

I think you've made the right call with the light defoliation

The energy those big fan leave were using can now be better used by the remaining plant

That Blue Amnesia XXL is showing some crazy vigour

Can't wait to see her in full flower mode

Stay safe out there

All the best

Yes mate your right the Blue Amnesia looks to be living up to the XXL status I only wish I could say the same about the Remo, I tried to open her up a bit by tying down most of the branches, but I couldn't get her as shapely as I'd like, not within 4 weeks anyway So I've done a bit of experimenting with her, mainly by removing most of her lower leaves and just leaving the top sets I'm hoping she'll just put her energy into building the top colas, whether it works or not we shall see in around 10 weeks or so also I started her on a 12/12 light cycle a couple of days ago, day 28.
Remo Day 30 & Blue Day 31

What will be, will be take care mate
