Week One
☀️Day 1 - It’s microscopic but looks very healthy!
☀️Day 2 - Growing quickly, seems happy!
☀️Day 3 - All good. I’m already planning my next grow, lol.
☀️Day 4 - Increased the lighting from 40% to 60% last night after watering. No issues.
☀️Day 5 - Watered with Recharge, about 3/4 gallon. I didn’t water yesterday so the soil could get a good soaking of “beneficial bacteria water” today. I’m always nervous about over watering, but it’s a big pot so it should be ok.
☀️Day 6 - All is well. Growing at a steady pace. No adverse effects from the heavy watering yesterday. But I’m going to try watering every other day for a while and see how that goes.
☀️Day 7 - Week one is in the books. Growing well. The last couple of days I did struggle a bit with keeping the temps down & the humidity up in the tent. I’ll be glad when cooler weather eventually gets here.
Light schedule is 19/5 with lights-out during the late afternoon hours when it’s the hottest.
I’m following the XS1500 mfg guidelines for light distance and power for now.
For the next 3 weeks or so I’ll just keep the soil moist and manage the tent conditions.
I’m also going to “feed the soil” with Chicken Soup and Recharge. Once every 10 days for each, but staggered 5 days apart. So every 5 days the soil will get a little boost.
Around the 4 week mark I’m going to try some LST and hope that I don’t mangle the poor thing.
I’ll also top dress with some dry amendments at that time.
Oh man, sorry you had to re start. I appreciate you listing what you though was wrong with the grow, helps us newbies out! I wish you luck on the next run! Can't wait to watch the next grow, especially since we both have skywalkers going!
Great tip to not use too much seed starter soil. I never thought about that. Thanks for sharing that on your week 2! Looking forward to seeing it's transition to the "good soil"
@Growaholic, Yeah, I read somewhere to use that amount of “light soil” in the center so it’s not too hot for the seedling stage. But obviously seed starter soil is too light.
Condolences my friend, we all mourn the ones we lose. All efforts into the new ones and I’m sure they will be all the better for it, and a fitting end to a chapter in your grow journey 👊💚🔥
Hey bro looking great, im growing the same strain although im not certain of the brand. Look forward to seeing how both ours turn out and if they flower at similiar times etc, im a newbie so fingers crossed. Happy growing brother!
Suff
@Rosinhood, Thanks man, that makes me feel better. I guess I’m being a bit paranoid about her shade of green, lol. I’ll stay the course, onward and upward!
