FC (Mephisto): Dude, where's my cookies?

📅🌱 Day 1 - Thursday 27 May 📅🌱 D2 - 💪🌱bursting through the Jiffy Pellet on both ends. ✓🌰Have never seen a pellet shown root so quickly however I suspect it has something to do with the longer time spent in the paper towel prior to planting. 💧 warm tap water continued. D5 (🗓️31 May) Seedling has been upgraded to her first temporary home.

💡- 3×24W 6500k CFLs 🔆↓ 3"/8cm D8 (🗓️ Thursday 3 June) 💧0.7 EC D12 (🗓️Mon 7 June) 🌱💪Looking healthy and carefree, hopefully another winner. 💧1×daily Fertigation 0.7 EC, slowly increasing nutrient strength. D13 💧 Fertigation 0.8EC 🌱✓Growing vigorously, impressed with size for less than two weeks growth. Roots clearly visible through the seedling pot however will hold off transplant until mid next week to ensure entire colonisation of media. D14 🌱Onto her 3rd node. All good so far. 💧 0.8 EC |61 pH @7:30AM 📝Her adopted sister Illuminauto #39 • planted in a makeshift seedling pot, she refused to drop her helmet head and I botched the manual removal, accidentally removing half the leaf. • Subjectively, aside from the mangled helmet surgery, I believe not using the coco jiffy pots to house the seedling after the pellet caused some serious stunted growth, made very apparent by the super growth the forgotten cookies is displaying, as they were germinated together.

Week 3 📓Updates: 🏡Environment: ↖️↩️Have moved the transplanted cookie to the left side of the grow cupboard to place her canopy closer to the T5s. 💡2 x 24W t5HO + 1 x 24W CFL (more to come..) 🍃Large oscillating fan (at distance) Fertigation: 🚿Foliar spray as needed to ensure appropriate levels of calcium/magnesium (has been my main nutrient nemesis of recent!) 💧Feeding at EC 1.1/1.2 with pH between 5.8 - 6.2. D18 (📆Mon June 14📆) ⇡⚱️ Transplant: • 🌱 Seedling pot → 3.5L Airpot. - She was well overdue for a new home and was drooping for days before I got my act together and up potted her. D20 ( 📆Wed 16 June) 🌱🔻The Droopining Persists - clearly the transplant process did not aid in her continued growth. I fear I may have over packed these unnecessarily confusing airpots ... again. D21 (📆Thurs 17 June) 🔻🌱🔻The Droopining-ing 🐘All her leaves are as droopy as Dumbo's ears when he shys away from embarrassment. ⚙️ The stuffed pot concern has been somewhat manually mitigated (lots of finger digging into the curved insides allowed me to displace and remove some of the wet pressed sections of coco. 📝 Given my heavy handy work I've 50/50 just made it worse.

D22 (📆 Thursday 18 June) Recovering from the transplant, finally! Hsve her still her the T5 + 1 x24W CFL, will upgrade her home as she moves into flower.

W⁵ - signs of flowering D29 (📆June 25📆) D35 (📆July 1📆) She is full definitely into the first stages of bloom now and seems to have recovered completely from her previous transplant shock. Still in 3.5L airpot. Growth is tame but relatively healthy appearance otherwise. Her leaves are going a bit dark green which looks like a phosphorus deficiency to me. Likely a consequence of poor Fertigation practices as I have let her pot dry out more times than I'd care to recount. She also seems to be wilting occasionally which suggests this also, pot size is already inadequate for her rootball.

D³⁶ 📆 July² 🍂 Still droopy but seems to be looking (maybe) slightly healthier... 🐚She will he staying in her 3.5L pot for her lifetime as I miss timed my grow room expansion. I'm sure this will cause under watering however I'm curious to see how she performs in a small pot! D⁴² 📆 July ⁸ ❇️Flowers definitely kicking off, still feels laggy though. 🍪 I continue to notice a delicious aroma that I cannot put my finger on ...
