The seeds are by Kandy Seeds in the UK. I bought a packet of 10 seeds and I am currently awaiting 5 of them germinating and I will pick the best 4 to grow. This will be my 3rd run with this strain which I last cropped at the start of the year, the quality was absolutely outstanding and a forever strain for me. These plants yield around 4 ounces each under a 600 watt light so from this grow I expect around 15 ounces of bone dry high grade bud from the 4 plants.
Strain: Kandy Seeds Stardawg Feminised Seeds
Medium: Bio bizz All Mix
Soil
Nutrients: Bio Bizz Grow, Fish Mix, Bloom and Top Max (starting at 1/4 strength, increasing weekly until 3/4 to full strength is reached)
Pot Size: 18 litre
Light: 600 Watt Cool Tube
Number of Plants: 4
Germinate Seeds
I need at least 4 plants for this grow so I will use 5 of the seeds from my 10 pack. I place the seeds in a damp cloth under my sink and will check them daily.
After 3 days all 5 seeds have germinated, I have put them directly into their final 18 litre pots under a 150 watt light for the first week then change the light to my 600 watt hps.
VEG
Week 1 - Put them under my 600 watt hps at the start of the week. I used 1/4 strength Bio Bizz Grow and fish mix this week, fed only once.
Week 2 - These plants are now very well rooted and already growing at an incredible rate just as the last lot, i will continue to use 1/4 strength nutrients (Biobizz Grow, Fish Mix, Top Max) this week and still feed just the once unless they require more. The plants are growing very nicely and I have topped all 4 of them to encourage wider growth. These plants are growing very strong, they seemed to suffer very little stress when topped and continued to grow as normal. My temps got a little high this week (peaked at 89f) so I reconfigured my grow space and managed to get them down to a nice consistent 77f lights on and around 70f lights off. My grow space is by no means a state of the art setup but the conditions are now perfect for the plants to thrive so I am happy.

Week 2 Veg (topped)

Week 3 - I will use 1/2 strength nutrients this week and judging on last weeks nutrient uptake I will feed them twice.
This plant is the fastest growing plant I have ever grown, no more than 3 weeks veg required. Be careful not to veg for too long as these babies will easily outgrow your space as I did the first time I grew this strain.
As the weather has declined so has the humidity in my grow space so I added a humidifier.

FLOWER
Week 1 - This week I will more than likely need to feed them twice, I am now using full strength nutrients (Biobizz grow, fish mix, bloom, top max). By the end of week 1 these plants are covered in white hairs and have clearly started to flower.
Week 2 - Same again this week will feed full strength nutrients on Monday then again on Thursday. I have read positive things about bio bizz bio heaven so I will be ordering this week and start using straight away.
So far so good, apart from my minor humidity and temp problems which I sorted pretty fast this grow is running smoothly.
Week 3 - Bus sites everywhere, this is a brilliant strain to grow. Full strength nutrients and they love it.
Week 4 - Still thriving with no problems, the smell is really coming through now.
Week 5 - The smell is incredible and they really are bulking up now. This week i added a little Canna PK 13/14, i know Biobizz Topmax is supposed to be the equivalent but the plants needed it. See the yellowing tips of the leaves, it is also on the edges of a few fan leaves, this is the plants telling me they need phosphorus.
Week 6 - The smell is absolutely unbelievable and the colas have really started to fill out. I am sticking to the Biobizz feeding schedule and the plants seem to love it.
Week 7 - The smell is even stronger this week and the colas are solid, iv had to prop the branches up with bamboo stick because the buds weigh a ton. I will continue to feed this week and then i will flush them for a week. They are definitely showing milky trichomes, my eye glass is only 10x and my eyes are not the best so i will buy a 30x magnifying glass this week so i can see better.
Week 8 - Still another week or so id say, more brown hairs each day as well as more milky trichomes. Iv seen only a few amber trichomes not many though. Flushed all week and the leaves really started to yellow fast, i guess the buds are sucking the remaining sugars out of the leaves. The smell is incredible. A friend told me to drop the temps a little in the evening and they will purple up fast. I might do this for the remaining days, if i do ill post pics. The buds are extremely heavy for their size, all 4 plants need assistance standing up.
