Only 1 seed germinated after mistakingly letting the paper towel dry out. Have popped the other in water to see how she floats! An early cull if no germination.
DOB: 8th May (head above coco)
Name: TBA
Germination: 50%
🔆 2x 24W T5HO + 20W CFL
•24/0 schedule
🗄️2x2 grow cupboard (DIY)
📇Beans took ages to germ, likely my fault for not monitoring the moisture level of the paper towel and also forgetting to replace the bowl on top after checking their lack of progress.🤦♂️❌
🧠Always mindless mistakes! Be more mindful of your mindfulness...
2nd seed update:
Speaking of mindfulness, the second seed is currently M.IA.
The glass of water with seed have gone AWOL ... or I forgot where I placed. Also likely the seed disguised itself as a regular everyday refreshing H2O glass and was consumed unknowingly.
I once read a story about a man inhaling a pea pod/seed and the sneaky bugger sprouted in his lungs! Fingers crossed it's not currently starting life as a lung plant.

📇 Update to the grow from previous week
📝Week in review
🧠 Mindful thinking and observation
📇 No sign of the mysterious disappearing seed 2. I still hold out hope...
[D1] 📅 9 May- 🌱 head emerging from top of coco jiffy pellet. Looks to be struggling, hopefully all the more stronger for it. Have been keeping the pellet moist with up to 3 plain waterings p/d.
Patiently waiting for the sprout to shake it's helmet and get on with it !
[D2] - Seedling has shed it's pod and looks much happier for it.
[D4] sneaky seedling stretching has caught me off guard as this has not happened with any of my previous sprouts. One moment it was breaking ground with a healthy height, the next a lanky speed demon. In hindsight, the little one was clearly too far from the lights. Lesson learnt.
[D5] I have repositioned the seedling within the pellet to reduce the length of stem above the coco. Will keep a close eye on it's growth rate however I expect the issue to no longer be of concern as I definitely induced the stretch with inadequate lighting (and have reduced its distance from the lamp accordingly). A ☀️ filled day will hopefully have her back on track.
•Still no sign root visible through pellet.
📇Name Day! 🕯️
My little meph superstar will pay homage to the best sci-fi show in existence, as:
⭐Starbuck⭐
She is the first of my girls to not grow with a partner - a lone ranger, she is clearly a loose cannon, growing by her own rules.
📔
D8 (🗓️ 16 May) - 🌱 Stem Stretching
•after repositioning the lanky stem below the coco, I became concerned the pellet was no longer a suitable home even though the root was yet to emerge.
[🌱↑] transplanted to seedling pot, roots were visible when transplanting and appeared healthy. Hopefully see some explosive growth soon!
D12 (🗓️20 May) she almost seems to have gotten ahead of herself, bit too big for her boots.
🚫Accidentally fed her a round of 💧Fertigation @ 0.8/1EC, rectified and fed at 0.4 EC. Will slowly walk EC towards 1.0 over the next week.
Seems to be some slight discoloration due to this but nothing ⭐Starbuck can't handle.
📇
Have finally gotten my hands on the black gold AKA Roots Excelurator. This stuff reminds me exactly of Betadine, super thick and hard to dose! They better love it for $50/100mL!
D15 [🗓️23 May] - over 2 days she seem to have become afflicted with a similar ailment to the GG4 Tangie Auto in my other current grow. Appears as if one side of the new node growing is deformed, shriveled and browning. Never good signs of healthy growth. Let's hope it's a one off...
🗓️SOW 3
Day 22 - (📆May 30)
The only positive in her current growth is that the retardation seems to have stopped getting worse.
D23
🍂She has all but lost her first true leaves ... however the rest of her growth appears to slowly be shaking off it's shriveled and droopy appearance.
🌱The 5 day improvement is noticable, a relatively promising sign for at least a partial recovery.
D26 (🗓️June 3)
⚱️Transplant Day!!
Finally got around to her 2nd Transplant → 3.5L Airpot. Roots looked great through the base of the jiffy pot however they were (not surprisingly) underdeveloped and lackluster when I went to transplant.
💧 Fertigation EC 1.0| pH 5.9
Saturated media prior to transplant.
Almost expecting her to kick off into flowering any day and at this size the finale will likely be an experience of failure. Curious nonetheless!
Note 🎵
will likely flower to harvest in the 3.5L as she won't even have time to colonize this size.
📑Plant is nearly a write off. Looks to be starting it's flowering stage now so all I can do is try to nurture her back to an acceptable health while she does her best.
Day 29 (📆June 6)
🌱droopy leaves have been persistent since transplant, I also dropped her twice (once prior and once post the transplant).. the 3.5L post transplant butter fingers saw the pot pop open and litter the floor with coco and miss stunty. Maybe a blessing in in disguise as I think I had over packed the media prior to transplant, not only pressuring the pot to snap open but likely creating further headaches for the plants root colonisation attempts.
D31 (📆Tuesday June 8)
💧 1.4 EC
+ PK 13/14 (1/2 dose)
D32
💧1.3 EC | 6.1 pH
500mL @ 1030AM
🗓️Week 6🗓️
📑Notes:
🌻I am very pleased I continued to love and care for miss crinkle as she is blossoming into a very cute little 4.5" autoflower.
➰Light LST applied to the main branch and an opposing shoot. I have adjusted the main branch once due to stretching. Hopefully will get two nice branches of flowers if the shoot plays catch up well.
D38 [📆Tues June 15]
Fertigation
💧EC 1.5 | pH 6.1
• PK 14/15 now at ¼ strength → cycled through 2 weeks of increasing to ¾ strength and back down to ¼.
D45 - everyday with sour crinkle is a blessing. She grows like she's happy to be alive and I can see the frost starting to pop!
💧Feeding 1.4-1.6 EC
D48 (📆 FriJune 25📆)
Lucky she doesn't take up too much space in the tent as it's already overcrowded. Will be ordering a new tent and 240w QB to give the girls some room to grow!
Day 50 (📆 June 27📆)
Start of week 8. Have pulled some of the smaller branches at the bottom out and down to improve the airflow and hopefully get some extra light to the lower stems.
Day 56 (📆July 3📆)
Still growing well given her past troubles. Giving off an intense odour for a little girl ! Will get to some ✂️ soon, surprised how leafy she has gotten.
Day ⁵⁷ (📆July ⁴)
✂️seems happy after her light Defoliation
💧feeding around 1.4/1.5 EC with half dose PK 13/14. Will drop the PK end of this week as she nears the start of W¹⁰!
🥃+ drip clean @ .1ml /L
D⁶³ (📆July ¹⁰)
🍁Some light brown/yellow spots on the upper leaves - nothing concerning and I don't think anything that's recently developed!
🐌She is definitely not going to be finished within the breeders guide of 65-75 days and I take full responsibility for her stunted stature and delayed ripening. Still majority white pistols and hopefully a good amount of bud swelling still to come.
D⁶⁴ 📆 July 11
⌛If I had grown her properly I would have expected her to be near finished by now. Hoping she still has a lot more filling out to do!
💧EC 1.4 | 6.2/6.2 pH
🐽🍋She's a nugget there's no denying it but what she lacks in size she makes up for in stanky and sticky.
D⁷¹ 📆July¹⁸
🍂 Her leaves grow wrinkled but her spirit is willing!
⏳ Hoping she has at least a few weeks left so she has time to put on some proper bull before she's ripe!
D⁷⁷ 📆July²⁴
🍶 tapering EC 🔻 towards 1.2/1 as she is entering her 12th week of flower.
