All looking good except 2 of them.
1 has yellow appearing on the small leaf the other seems to be a bit curled... Not sure what's causing this but suspecting from pH as my meter has stopped working and been forced to use drinking water hoping its the right pH... Not wose but not sure what else to do for now as I wait for another meter
2 out of 9 plants are looking weird.
1 has yellow appearing and the other seems to be curled.
My pH tester has stopped working so ive been using drinking water until I get a new meter. Do you think its a pH problem? Just seems strange that it's only 2 out of 9
Not all seeds are meant to be, you will never get 100% perfect germination.
The plant in picture 2 looks ok, it will grow soon enough.
It always pays to plant some spare seeds, more than you intend growing, for situations just like this.
That way you can pick only the healthiest specimens to grow.
I usually plant, if I have them, 2-6 seeds for each strain I want to grow and then pick only the best example to continue with.
While this may seem wasteful, I do not want to waste 3-6 months growing sub standard seedlings.
This way you keep the seed distributors in business and are always only planting fresh seeds with the best chance of germination.
I learnt a long time ago that pinning all your hopes on a single seeds can lead to disappointment.
Obviously if you only have one seed there is little choice, but I prefer to have a minimum of 2 seeds for each strain I want to grow, well before starting the next crop cycle. It is the "6 Ps" principle - Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
Hope this helps, Organoman.
From 9 seedlings to 6.
Unfortunately the strain I was most excited about has died due to my own mistake. The Alien Rock Candy.
They needed an environment with higher humidity than the others and couldn't handle it (I'm guessing). They seemed to just collapse.
That or the soil was too hot.
For my first grow indoors I can't be too sad though. I've popped a tangerine dream seed and it has already caught up with the others.
Still excited for what's to come.
Will add more photos tomorrow
These are now three months old but we're stunted for ages. They're now thriving and have almost doubled their size in 6 days*! I'm a very happy camper.
They're now in 15L pots (I think) with super soil mixed in with the bottom 1/3 of the soil. I've also been feeding an organic liquid fertiliser (grow) in small quantities (0.5ml per litre).
Also, when transferred to bigger pots I added mycorrhizae and azospirillum from Extreme Gardening.
Unfortunately due to my believe they weren't going to make it, I don't know what is what anymore. All I know is that it's the strain mentioned in grow diary.
*Check out the photos to see the size comparison from 26/10 to 01/11
Well this was a wild one. They were in constant battle due to my many fuck ups but they've still managed to pull through!
This has been a massive lesson and looking forward to applying this new knowledge on my next grow.
I've put 2 plants in dark room today and will harvest them in two days and I'll harvest the rest a few days after that.
I'll explain my many fuck ups the best I can in the next post. Till then, one love x
