Finally got some good sprout and growth. Still very infantile, but should perk up and take off over the next week or two. Just thankful this seed survived a testy germination.
This seedling is still fairly small, but is determined to live and has firmed up nicely in the soil. I am hoping that means that it will be hearty later on in the process as well.
This seedling has stalled out this week. It looks healthy enough, but has not grown any further leaves than these two initial ones. Also hasn't grown very tall... hopefully it's rooting well and will pick back up next week.
Seedling has sprouted for at least 2 weeks but has stalled growth and leaf development. Any suggestions on why this has happened, and/or how to nudge it back into growth?
in my experience of growing in soilless mediums. That plant was soaked to long before planting or the medium around the plant is to wet and it has been drowned a bit. maybe the soil is to hot "to many nutes", but i don't think so.
Best thing you can do is keep temps up around 27/28 to help evaporate the extra moisture in the pot. lower back to 24-26 when its dry.
keep airflow up to encourage more evaporation, but do not place the fan directly on the seeding just yet.
Keep lights on medium/low as the plants in shock, back to high when it starts to show solid unmutated leaves.
This plant will be stunted and behind by a week or two because of this if you decide to keep it.
as a seeding, I never water till it comes out of the bottom of the pot. Soilless mediums will take up to much water for the newly sprouted seedlings, just to moist.
Use humidity domes when you can, ideal is around 70-80% for seedlings. weening off to 55-60% then 45%
I mix/water my soil before placing it in the pots to get the correct ratio I like also known as field capacity to me.
moist but when squeezing it but no water comes out. perfect for seedlings. lots of air between the roots and medium, not packed tight - light and fluffy, high humidity keeps it from drying out.
best of luck
This little thing is still plodding along. Initial leaves are developing (sort of) but this one just doesn't seem to be doing what I expect. This grow is definitely a learning experience...
This plant has FINALLY rooted properly and seems to be growing at a more expected pace. Will need to repot shortly as it gets more established and strengthened.
This plant is really coming along, which is a huge relief after the trouble I had getting it started. Leaf formation and upward growth is giving me a lot of hope!
Just in a waiting game with this one. Still growing nicely, so I'm happy with the progress. Considering the difficulties with my other grow, I"m just thankful this one is acting the way I expect it to lol.
I am so amazed by how beautiful this plant has become! From it's troubled beginnings, it's like night and day when I look at her now. Strong branches, beautiful full leaves, just starting to get ready to flower. Really, really excited by this.😍
This week has been amazing... growing almost another foot tall, beautiful broad leaves, and beginning to flower. Very excited to see what next week brings!
Each morning seems to be bringing a new challenge to deal with. Currently there are nutritional deficiency spots on the leaves that make me think the phosphorus is low, maybe potassium? I'm trying to bottom feed to give the lower roots access to the food without over saturating the soil with water.
The flowers are really starting to come in now... they look very white and fluffy like a dandelion.
As things continue, I'm really excited to taste this once we're done with the curing!
Gave her a poodle cut to remove necrotic leaves, which (in addition to feeding) has slowed down further necrosis. Buds still developing nicely... hopeful for the outcome!
Feeding cycle seems to be sorting out the nutritional deficiencies, and this thing is growing nice and tall. Hope it doesn't take up much more space the tent... I'm running out of room! I have included a comparison picture of this plant and the second one (GC B) that I'm growing... I nicknamed them Bert and Ernie due to the diverse size and shape of them.
Final fertilization of the season. Buds are getting nice and frosty... I can't wait to taste them! Another week or so, and I'll be cutting this puppy down.
I feel like it was a fight to get to the finish line with this grow. The end result looks great, and I'm really looking forward to tasting it, but it was a challenge.
