05/05/21: Planted 9 seeds into Jiffy Pellets after submerging in tap water for 5 hrs. Buffered 9 pots of coco for 1.5x Calmag dose @ 200-220 ppm
06/05/21: No Changes but too impatient in checking the humidity dome every hour
07/05/21: One of the seeds have broken the surface, moved all under lights. Mars Hydro TSL 200 @ 100 Intensity @ 30"
08/05/21: All seeds have sprouted, half still had the casing so I manually removed these along with any excess film stopping the cotyledon from opening up. Stems looking bendy possibly from being left in the dome @ 85+ RH too long.
Things that went wrong today:
- They all grew out of the jiffy pellets before the first leaves have fully formed. I had to set everything up in a rush to put the exposed roots in a dark place. Back is now sore
-AFter transplanting, I watered all plants with 4 litres each of half strength nutes and calmag, and set the lights 30" above canopy.
-The aircon is on all day but the temp inside the tent is 30 C and humidity fluctuates between 40 and 60.
-I will set up an autowatering system soon using drip halos but boy is handwatering a pain.
-Need to look into more efficient draining solutions as well.
9/05/21: I may have overwated my plants. Even tho I have 50/50 perlite, I accidentally soaked the jiffy pellets and the plants while hand watering.
-Expecting for all plants to die as to not keep my hopes up
-Put dome back on the struggling seedlings to keep humidity up
10/05/21: 7/9 plants looking healthy. The other two are recoverign and showing signs of growth but significantly slower.Dome seems to be working.
-Water twice @ 200 ppm. 2L per 5 gallon pot.
11/05/21: Not much changes, Stunted plant is trying its best to recover. Looking unlikely though, it's already a few days behind the largest plant.
-WAter once @ 270 ppm 5.8 ph 3 L per pot.
13/05/21: Worried about heat in grow tent lingering around 30-32 C,
Should I abandon the stunted plant? The first set of nodes are tiny and it's trying to grow the second set of nodes but is this plant doomed and am I better off starting with new seeds (another 7-10 days).
15/05/21: Marks the 8th day since the first seed sprouted on 7/05/21. Temp has been an issue sometimes reaching 34 C (Hygrometer is in direct light) so I dimmed the lights to 75% and moved it from 30" to 24" above canopy.
PPM was increased from 250 to 500 today. I probably should have done this gradually at a 50 ppm increase per day.
I tried taking out the drivers from the mars hydro to mount outside the tent in order to reduce temps but the cords were only 3 ft. Not enough length.
16/05/21: 3L per plant 450 ppm Nutes. Plants are growing fast but not looking the healthiest
17/05/21: 2L per plant 500ppm nutes. Leaves are curling up possibly due to heat stress/light being too close. I moved the lights back up to 30" from 24" and dimmed to 75%. Hoping they will recover okay.
Iv'e been keeping the AC on during the day and there is enough ventilation in the tent. I put my hand at the canopy and this led light produces quite a bit of heat which explains the curled up leaves. I should have done this before and started at a higher light and gradually lowered.
18/05/21: Leaves starting to curl up ion edges
19/05/21: Startted LST on 2 of them. Accidentally topped a small sub-node on my very first attempt as well as clipped a part of the fan leaf.
21/05/21: Nitrogen Toxicity getting severe with 1.5 ml/: of Canna Nute, Flushed with 07 ml of A+B with 1ml/L Cal Mag
This one has the worst marks but most of my plants have some marks. I hand water for now and get some spots on the leaves by accident. Does this look like Mag deficiency?
They look like water spots. Really hard to avoid when they don’t stretch far above soil. Even the water off soil evaporating will cause if your temps are high and humidity is low. Happy growing and great start!
The main stem of my plant (2 weeks old) snapped like a paper in half 2 cm above the soil while attempting to LST 15 hrs ago. One leaf has dropped dead and crispy while majority of the leaves are still fine. I cant tape it as there are so many new nodes in a short stem.
Got pretty bad mold exactly 10 weeks in and lost a plant due to it and some more. Had to pull everything apart as they were all supportign each others weights. They hadn't been moved around in weeks and were growing into each other.
Trimmed over 3 weeks as I was unprepared and this was absolutely the worst part. A big box of trim and fluffs that Id ont know what to do with.
easily over 2 lb after 10 weeks seed to harvest, Some are fluffy still and all plants still could have used another 2-3 weeks as the most mature plant outta the bunch only had 50% milky trichomes. Some had all clear still.
@nohate,I ooked at the pictures, they still look fine, if something wors happens, it coud be bad. the light shoud be fine at 28-30 inches,
give them some time to heal and be happy again. But carefull with watering too much, i give mine around 4 - 4,5dl around the plant, and gradually
increase dosis. and if they dong get better, its something else we must find. i cross my fingers for you, and will follow you so i can se how it it going🙏
@nohate, Yeah bro! It’s best to use fresh trim but best thing you can do is put your trim and fluff in the freezer! Leave for a couple days it’ll make the trichomes harden up so you can extract/separate. Hopefully this help.
Really impressed bud production over the last 2 weeks and we are starting to see a crazy crystal coverage forming 👌
Looking good in here 🤗🤗
Kind regards ✌️
