Demonus Germination conditions: ________________________ Average Temperature: 25°C. Relative Humidity: 65% - 75%. Water: I saturated the entire pot with filtered tap water before I planted the seed(pH: 6.5). Nutrients: None. Light Schedule: 24 hours (2500 Lumens). ________________________________________ ________________________________________ Additional notes about the grow environment: _____________________________________________ Airflow: - 12V intake fan in bottom bucket. (In use during Germination, Veg and Flower) - 5V inline intake fan in midsection. (In use during Veg and Flower) - 5V fan in midsection of bin interior. (In use during Germination, Veg and Flower) - 12V inline extractor fan mounted next to the 100w light and directly above the 50W light. (In use during Flower) - Detachable 12V inline fan with activated carbon filter and hose. (In use during Flower) - 5v Usb humidifier. (In use during Germination and Veg) Light: - "100W" Full Spectrum LED Grow Light mounted in the lid of the bin. (In use during Germination, Veg and Flower) - "50W" Full Spectrum LED Grow Light mounted on the side of the bin interior. (In use during Flower) - Bin interior is spray painted with Rustoleum Flat white. These lights are extremely inexpensive. I continuously doubt their efficacy. So far so good...

Culterra Multisol 'N' 1 mll

Homemade Cal-Mag 1 mll

Demonus First week of vegetative growth -------------------------------------------------- The good: - First node site is developing well. - Plant seems relatively healthy. The bad: - Adapting the amount of nutrients per feeding by observing changes in the leaves and stem is not ideal. - Noticed a possible Magnesium deficiency during day 10. Foliar fed some Cal-Mag before lights out and growth ensued. - After struggling to manage nutrient deficiencies and constant overwatering, I transplanted the plant into a 2l fabric pot containing a organic seedling potting soil, perlite and coco. __________________________________________ Additional comments: ----------------------------------- Conditions within the bin are surprisingly stable. __________________________________________ Nutrient information: ---------------------------------- ▪️︎Culterra Multisol 'N': - Nitrogen (264g/kg) - Phosphorus (43g/kg) - Potassium (133g/kg) - Magnesium (0.9g/kg) - Zinc (0.35g/kg) - Iron (0.763g/kg) - Copper (0.077g/kg) - Manganese (0.31g/kg) - Boron (1.005g/kg) ▪️︎Homemade Cal-Mag: - 9 Crushed Eggshells (Boiled and sieved in 500ml's of filtered water with a pH of 6.0). - Half a teaspoon of Epsom Salts. ___________________________________________ Visit the Germination page for information about the grow setup.

Demonus The Good: ----------------- - The plant handled the transplant extremely well. - The plant seems relatively healthy. The Bad: --------------- - The new medium smells like a nursery. - The new medium was too "hot". Flushed with filtered water(pH: 7) on the 21st day.

Demonus The Good: ---------------- - Conditions within the bin are stable. The Bad: --------------- - Noticed pistils at the top node site on the 26th day as well as a Phosphorus deficiency. Might be the sudden change in the light schedule from 24h/d to 20h/d after germination that triggered flowering.

Demonus The bad: -------------- - Unwanted early flowering has resulted in a tiny, phosphorus deficient, pre-flowering plant. - Cut my losses,the dead leaves, and moved the plant to my Micro-bin. The good: ---------------- - Learned from my mistakes. - I can try again with another Auto-Ultimate seed. _______________________________________ My thoughts: ------------------ The early flowering might be attributed to the plethora of stresses I subjected the plant to, such as: - Change in the light schedule from 24-hours per day to 20-hours during the vegetative stage. - Temperature fluctuations. - Aggressive transplanting. - Improper foliar feeding practices. - A combination of the abovementioned. Conclusion: ----------------- The plant seems to be withering away. Time for some retrospection and a fresh seed.

@Ferenc, all you asked was if I used too much water on my plant. You didn't state anything.

@Demonus, Of course not.... what I stated is that she look overwatered and nitrogen deficiency there. Also when you overwater the roots starts rottening so they can't absorb nutritients and it causes n deficiency as well
