Hi Styx231 here and my second attempt at trying to grow some seeds I found in a bag. Being my second attempt I learned a lot from growing this same seed 6 months ago. Yield was low first time around. So whit what I have learned and a better understanding of topping and LST I am shooting for the moon. Ha ha.
My set up is a small cabinet I turned into a grow box. Built in fans and temp reading was installed. 300 watt LED light and a small fan that moves air around. Was a fun project to do this winter.
I am trying to be simple with this and only nutes I will be using is super soil and water. Will be growing in 2 gallon cloth pots. Will problem not be able to grow all in my box so some will go out side. But will only document my indoor. So with all that. Let the diary begin....
Germinated very quick using the paper towel method. Nice large sprouts from the seeds.
( 5 seeds ) gently placed the seeds cups filled with plain gardening soil I purchased at Lowe’s. Placed under LED today and will be doing a 18 on and 6 off light schedule and lots of training to begin.
4 out of the 5 sprouted and looking good seem a bit small going it to it first week of veg.
Seedlings are now into veg mode. 4 plants out of the five sprouted. Temps are sitting good, could be a little warmer but it’s been chilly this week in Northern Michigan. Humidity around 35-40%. Would like closer to 50%. I water when the cups feel light. So just keeping it moist. Will up date every othe da.
Looking good got temps were I want them and humidity is near 50%. But boy not sure if this happens to You but I keep tipping over my plant and spilling soil and my plant. I need to be more careful. Day ten I decided to put a little more light on them. Friend gave me an simple light and it attaches to my door on grow box. I will attach pic. Thought I would try it out a number of hours a day to see what happens.
got some good growth over night. Temps cooler today due to run the air conditioner. Did not think about that so grow
Box was sitting low 70’s. Stay tunned
Was out of town. So came back to a little growth. Everything looks good soil moist temps good. Will be replant tomorrow in to 2 gallon cloth pots.
Replanted today and decided to go with the 2 best plants. Other two out side. Plus two is comfortable under my light. 3 would be tight. So 2 it is. I put pic of other two up once in a while. Going to let it establish its roots
For day or two then start some lst and topping.
Day 15. Transplanted great. No signs of shock or stress.
Week 3 begins training. One will
Be topped and other one LST.
Temps are good. And got the humidity in a good area.
I have been watering when pots feel lighter. Generally every other day. Misting with water bottle on non watering days. Being careful not over water and rinse out my living soil that’s on bottom third of pots. I want the roots to enjoy all it has to offer.
Day 24 LST the topped plant and tweaked the other with training. Water tomorrow so will mist today
Started lst topped plant. It grown kinda slow this Last week. But I expect it because of heal up time. But is starting to grow two of shoots.
Other plant I been continually bending new growth. Watering about every other day.
Day 26. Got some good over night growth from the topped plant. Gave a good watering today as well
Accidentally tapped other plant.Need to be more gentle when low stress training oh well are used a metal staple to train the plant
Two great looking plants to me. Ha. Two more weeks and I will start flowering them. I think the roots are enjoying the super soil on the bottom of pot. Water most
Days at this point little
Each day. 1/2 cup maybe. Took off a couple fan leafs that were week looking and in the way. Green and happy.
Week 7 and looking great. At the point we’re I am close to desired height before flower starts. Might flip lights on the the 15 or maybe this weekend. Going to defoliate tomorrow
Going to finish the week off
Then the weekend switch to flower. I took of some bigger fan leafs today. Nice water and looking good. Hopefully there will becc C songs of the hot soil left for flower.
Wow ten weeks already. Haven’t
Seen Any sex traits yet
Thinking girls. Been
Have issues with temp. My grow area has been warm. High 80 (87-89.). Tips are showing some like heat stress and correlation to high temps. Did some lst in areas
My solution now is to try and and keep ey adjust fans open door and so on.
But later. My next grow. I
Will Be adding legs to the box to get it up off the floor more. More air circulation.
Wow looking good. Two green girls. Gotten some good growth during the stretching period of flower. Starting to see many bud sites. Will be doing some LST then week due to the growth.
Day 18 flower. Removed som larger fan leafs to let more light in. One plant I left alone. Maybe took one field off. It also seems like it just lagging a little in bud sites.
The stretch is slowing down and have bud and buds. No issues what so ever. No more LST. Don’t want to stress plant out. But will play it by ear if I get to close to lights.
. Did notice a what I believe to be a few pollen sacs 😕 I twizzered them off. So will see and Keep eye on.
No new signs of pollen sac so far. Pulled of what looked like a banana to be safe. The girls are drinking lots of water
