Day 15 - wow, this plant is growing better than ever!
a. this plant is growing at the rate of my last Pineapple Express Auto by Fastbuds
b. the indica traits though, are really nice with the wide leaves
c. humidity has been a little lower than I want, but we have had some impressive rain to compensate
Day 16 - more growth, many many roots in the pool
a. there are about 3 good root clusters into the pool, they are making nice ladder roots
b. the DWC is running well, with temps almost 30 outside, the DWC is staying 22, ph 5.8, 440 ppm.
c. installed the CO2 generator, a Banana Bomber, 1KG sugar, 3 tsp yeast, 2 mashed up bananas, 5L warm water.
Day 17 - she is growing
a. the CO2 generator is generating CO2 already, this time I ground up the bananas like baby food.
b. adjusted the ventilation a little to maintain 27-28 degrees in the tent
Day 18 - growing well
a. i have to keep reminding myself that just 18 days ago this was a dry seed in a packet.
b. many roots in the pool, there are a few very large roots about to bust through the netpot
Day 19 - growing well
a. smooth and steady growth, temperatures in tent are 28 in the day, and around 23 in its 4hrs of darkness, humidity is always 60+, and we are getting alot of rain to help with that.
b. noticing growth all over, this plant is growing a bit different than my others, it seems that in the past ive had mostly sativa leaning auto hybrids.
Day 20 - many BIG roots hitting the pool
a. there are about 25 huge root tips hitting the pool right now, there are already about 10 root clusters in there, but these roots are much thicker
b. like the breeder says, week 3 this will take off, totally accurate
Day 21 - growth everywhere
a. the stem is becoming much thicker, the symmetry of the plant is beautiful, really liking the wide leaves
b. next week she will take off like a rocket
c. the CO2 bomber, as usual, is generating CO2 very well
@Ganjagrandaddy, that is some real clandestine knowledge for sure! I will add it to my toolkit! Thanks a million!! (: Luckily our environment is super clean, and the humidity is dropping fast!!!!!!
@SwissKush,as crazy as it sounds , raw milk at 20% ratio to water will kill mould spores at stem level and leave no nasties after . The milk has an enzyme that forces the mould spore to replicate WITH itself and not as another cell growth so it kills the spore by sterilising its ability to take hold. It is safe and as long as you dont keep drowning them and keeping them wet with the spray , the milk does not have time to go off and create any smell nor issues . Can leave a very light mark where contact was like a coating but wont damage anything at all and is all natural. No joke at all. Milk is a growers friend and can even benefit the soil when used in the feeds too. My 1st grow here was with breast milk as a nutrient !!!!! Add bicarb and tobacco steeped water and it is a killer for any soft bodies visitors as it suffocates them by closing their airways on contsct
@Ganjagrandaddy, Thanks SO much!!! She smells incredible! Our ventilation and fans have been going non stop, as well as about 5 trips a day to the tent to air the space out, shake the plant etc. Hoping the breeders claims to resilience is true! (: Any tips are welcome (: our box is outdoors, so using a dehumidifier cannot be done like our inside tent. We used to source hanging dehumidification bags, but since covid those are gone. Luckily the airflow around everything is great.
@Blabina, thanks a million! (: I think the reason my hydroponics always work well is A. I do not use a digital PH meter, I use chemical test always, B. I use 3% H202 to rid bacteria. C. I feed my plants the ppm levels they need in hydro, never use my ppms for soil or coco, it will wreck them.
