Belladonna from Paradise Seeds

9 x 18L wilma pots
Gold Label soil-less mix
1.2m x 1.2m x 1.8m tent
5in inline fan/carbon filter
600w HPS
6in oscillating fan
T-5 flourescent (2 weeks)

Nutients (hand watered)
advanced nutrients
voodoo juice, b-52, No Shock,
Carboload (veg), Bud Candy,
Bud Ignitor, ph perfect A + B (grow and bloom),
Big Bud, Overdrive and Canna's PK 13/14

The story so far.... I popped all 10 of my fem seeds and potted them in 6in pots, vegged them for 2 weeks under a T-5 flourescent until transplanting the best looking 9 (unlucky for 1) in to their final 18L pots and switching to the 600w for ????? vegging to come, not decided on when to flip 'em yet. No LST or topping on this one, just straight forward au natural let em grow and do their thing, my experience with this strain is that they stay short, compact and have really tight internodes allowing more vegging time and ultimately root growth. They also dont seem to outgrow their pots, width-wise, allowing the 9 x 18L to fit symmetrically in the tent with a good even coverage from the light. Hopefully, i will be able to get the 9 to harvest and not have to pull any. I think the extra amount of plants will compensate for lack of lst, topping when it comes to final yield, however, all will be revealed in around 10-12 weeks from now.

they are 5 days under the 600w today, a total of 19 days in veg (18/6).
Although these will be au-natural, i may have to partially lollipop the very lower branches, just to help the upper ones out a little, again, this will depend on how long they are vegged for and how tall they are @ the end of week 2 of 12/12.

Here's to a happy and unbumpy ride through to harvest time!!!!! HOPEFULLY!


Peace and Happy Growing to all....

Belladonna (regs) was the first strain I grew years back. Got it from Ontario Seed Bank cause the first 5 strains I wanted were sold out :wall: Was a nice smoke but probably shoulda been a bit better as I fried it on the nutes. Just gave away my last 3 seeds from the pack. Good luck with yours Doc!

6th March and they're 25 days old from seed and really starting to flourish, gave them a fresh water 'drink' today before going onto full strength nutes on Friday for a further week/10days before flipping to 12/12 though this could become anything up to 21 days if they're not all ready... ie. 18in-2ft tall :bigjoint:

Im subbed up, Looking forward to seeing how it turns up.
hi m8, cheers for the sub. yeah grown this strain before but kept them really short (3ft) at harvest, gonna let these go longer and see what happens, very impressed with bud formation and trichome production on last grow hence the 'repeat prescription' lol

This will be last pic for a few days as dont want thread to get too tedious posting pics of nothing much happening, they'll have their 1st full strength feed this weekend and i'll post more pics on Monday when hopefully there will be a noticeable difference...

talking of noticable differences, do you see the little girl who decided she wanted to flower herself @ 2 weeks old and under 18/6 vegging light schedule... not even Autos are that fast are they??? pmsl... she's the middle pot in the first row from the left in case u missed it. :wink:

they are approaching 4 weeks old and have only ever had 18/6 lighting regime, as you can see, her 8 sisters are fine n normal... dunno whats going on with her. wonder what will happen to her when they get flipped?? i may leave her go til the rest are done too or maybe just wrap a rizzla round her and smoke her hee hee :bigjoint:

its crazy. she came from the same packet as the 8 around her, had the same conditions throughout, repotted the same time, etc. etc.

out of curiosity, Are there any auto strains that develop pistils/flowers to this extent after just 25 days from seed?? i thought even the quickest autos needed to veg for 3 weeks or more before showing even pre flowers but i have limited knowledge on autos (at the moment) so forgive my ignorance if this is wrong!

This is definately a first for me, a few photoperiod grows behind me, and have used same seed companies for many grows namely paradise seeds, greenhouse seeds, and have had little or no complaints about quality, hermes, germination rates, etc. wont complain about this either lol, think its just one of those things

Some dwarf autos can start showing hairs after just 2 weeks (not as advanced as yours) with a harvest at 50 days or even less, needless to say you dont get much off em, I've had a 50 day from seed to harvest with the buddha autos - I got about 16 grams off her, one day all triches were milky the next day 1/2 turned amber! It was still way bigger than your midget, poor lass! You may be able to get a disability allowance for her? :)

ha rolling!!! disability!! well shes not doing any harm so ill let her do her thing and see, final yield??????? 7g dried is my estimate (optimistic) :eyesmoke:


anyway, here they are on day 28, looks like they'll be ready with another week of veg behind them..

d03ee3e1-3585-4755-a8db-29659b1abe8d.jpg i called hre annie cause she looks anorexic

great news, can't wait to see these babies go....
yeah m8 i remember summin as i went n added Think Different and auto Mazar to my wish list, straight from reading your message lol. worked out ok too as because i wanted 3pk of each, I had to order from 2 seedbanks (one sold a 7pk) but ended up with more freebies :twisted: incl. 2 auto's from Serious Seeds and 2 white widow (one of my personal favs) from Seedsman. just got to buy them now pmsl :wall:

the 2 new additions are both clones of my ww x bb (compensation for the midget and the dwarf, back centre pot), plus i want to see how they grow flipped from very early, 1 week veg from potting once rooted, this ones mum is @ day 36 of 12/12 and 5ft tall, eek......
the pots have been turned round as it seems to be more roomy for them in this formation, will continue to quarter turn once a week thru til harvest from now also. looking like trigger day going to be this monday but that is dependant on my nutes arriving on time as typically, im out of 3 of the most important nutes i use at start of flowering, voodoo juice, bud ignitor and sensizym, so i may wait til they are here but like to trigger on a monday for some reason so they will go another whole week then, i dunno why a monday, it just is?????????????????
Any advice of the 36hr dark period at the start of flowering, i have done it but do not have enough comparisons to tell if it makes noticable difference, though i will say it SEEMS to work, any thoughts greatly appreciated.
