Germination
3 years ago
Germination took less than 24hrs. Either these seeds are bomb or I finally found something that I am lucky with. Moved tent over to warmer side of basement - cold was an issue last time. Already chilly. Last time, hand warmers under the little sprout worked out just fine but I would like to warm her veg up. Accepting ideas for Fire Safe warming in a tiny tent. Basement is about 60° and tent is about 70°. I know I started too late. Too early, too late, meh. I am in 2x2x5 and I would like to move into 3x4x6 (my fridge decided to die so tent has to wait :( sadface.) I switched nutes to Nectar for the Gods line. I am hoping for a flavorful plant. The last plant smells amazing and smokes so well. I am looking forward to mastering this strain. Last seed of orange creamsicle. Here We Goooo Here we go one more time. Thanks for following. Update: About 2 weeks in and I was showing some sadness. Underwatering.... Again! Why? Oh right, the stupid peat pots I struggled with last time. They feel very wet outside so I don't water. (Probably only happens because I use a black plastic one on the outside for extra warmth) Pot is molding - transplant immediately (midday, she did fine) into solo cup , good watering and we are off again. "More water, less often". Update 2: Cold. Cold. Cold. Fuck NY. No really, so added humidifier outside since my furnace sucks the air dry.... Started adding 3 gallons of hot water jugs to floor of tent. Max temp 78.1F/60% - Low temp 62.8F/45%. Might be drifting too much in °/RH so I may go down to 2 gallons of hot water from now on. Roots look great. Overall - much smoother start. Will start "Veg Week" updates when my 5 fingers grows in.

Welp, veg on! Came down from 20hrs to 18hrs light on Dec 1st. Up to 75% intensity. Did a transplant into a 1 gallon. Roots look perfect. No shock. Maybe a tiny bit of nute burn from doubling FF soil in recipe but barely noticeable. As a result, no nutes yet. (Sidebar: reading up on this strain before my first plant I read this strain doesn't need much food) So far, growing much better than the last one. Nothing significant to report.

Looking a little droopy girl, oops she's thirsty! Check PH for first time.... Low. Flush with a gallon of spring water. She was sad for a couple of days. At 9", Transplanted into 5gal (7.5" after). Used 75%FFOF/25%Perlite. Lowered light intensity 10% for two days. She showed a little bit of shock at first but shook it off. All is well. Still haven't fed any nutrients beyond soil. I plan on topping tonight or tomorrow.

Topped above 5th, stunted for 3 days. Too much food, new growth darkening. Trimmed a little. Weather outside has gone from 65° to 25° to 45°/rain snow sunshine - been making it difficult to regulate basement. Just keep swimming, right?

Everything looks great. No complaints. Second and final top. Started LST. Tons of roots coming out of the bottom of fabric pot, didn't notice this last time. All white tiny roots. Should probably transplant again? I don't know. Up to 1.5gal of water.

Pretty sure she's a goner. Had an LST accident and split about 3 inches down center stalk. Taped her up right away and turned light intensity down but 48hrs later, tons of death happening. Was smelling very potent like she was trying to heal but last check there was zero smell at all and tons more droop. I was going to flip today. :(
