Epsom Salt water to help seed germination.
Sprinkled 5-10 granules of Great White on the top of the root.
Will wait till first set of true leaves OR signs of roots coming out the Rockwool before I plant into a 1 Gal pot.
Fingers crossed female.
Potted later than I expected because I was waiting for roots - come to realize that roots grow faster the less water is available - they go hunting for moisture, the roots.
Not giving much nutrients till week 4 so that it’s roots and dig deep ask have a larger network due to its roots stretching for nutrients.
At least that’s what people experiences indicate so let’s give it a go see how that works.
At week 4 / gender reveal (which ever comes last) I’ll put them under 18/6 lighting for another month, as our longest days are 12-13 hours long and our shortest days are 11-12 hours long, Equator Life.
12-12 from seed changed to 17/7 at week 4.
Transplanted somewhere between week 4-5. Giving it 1-2 weeks recovery before I’m go and top her.
Will out her through an extended veg because my days are only ever 10-11 hours of direct sunlight.
I live in a semi valley, hill block rise & set of the sun. So 0530 outside to catch the 0550 sun, then inside at 1630 as the west hill blocks sun after 1640ishh.
SF-1000 1640-2300, then dark from 2301-0530.
She will veg for another 4 weeks with the sun in the day and the SF-1000 at night.
RH 70-75%
Temp 26-28C
She is past her “4th week”...
4th week to me is when the plant has left the seedling stage and has entered the real VEG stage.
Training and topping happens in this stage.
The 4th week can last forever (mother plants) or until the plant has grown enough in its veg stage to support fat nuggy-boiz.
Thanks for reading.
Showing nice recovery after the top.
LST-ing the top apart from each other.
Gender looks like it’s about to be shown-will add pics when Im 100%.
Thanks for reading.
Edit : HST - Super Cropping
Did some super cropping on all branches that were getting taller than the main colas.
She is doing very well.
Statement : there is a lot of controversies about removing leaves or not (selective defoil).
Hypothesis : there is reason for me to believe that cannabis use their fan leaves as ;
i) solar panels
ii) carbohydrate storage (hence the darkness before reap),
Therefore removing fan leaves would be like you removing places for the plant to produce energy as well as removing some stored energy.
Procedure : I will be leaving every leaf on this plant. I’ll let her tell me when she wants me to take them off (yellow / dried up).
Iv been bending fan leaves away from main nodes to still get the benefits of defoil.
Transplant time as she is old enough to be flipped into flower and will transplant to a 10G pot as well.
Thanks for reading and let’s see where we will go with this.
Transplant on day 62 from 5G to a 10G.
She no longer goes under my SF-1000 at dusk, but she gets 2 60w LED bulbs @ 4 feet away to stretch her Veg cycle a bit more.
I am stretching (or attempting) to stretch the veg cycle at least 1-2 more weeks so I can get some more root growth in the new 10G pot.
MgSO4 - 1tbsp/gallon
Neem oil - 4ml / 1000ml - foliar spray.
Thanks for reading more to come.
