Day 1
Well I started a new journal with new seeds because I killed the first 2 seedlings by overwatering them. It was unfortunate but I was trying to start them in a cup. No more. With these, I started in peat pods on a seedling heat mat with a to-go container. This worked out really well. The lights are set to 25% using an 18 on/6 off scheme.
Lights - 25% 18/6 on/off
Soil - 75% FFOF, 25% Perlite
Nutrient - Mykos sprinkled throughout
Day 2
Just a spray bottle and some water away from the plants.
Day 3
Another day, automation is working really well. I brought the lights up from 25 to 50 percent today. I donโt want the plants to get too โweedyโ.
Day 4, 5, & 6
Not much change but I did change the light output to 75% on Day 6. This in turn has raised the temperature by a few degrees in the tent.
Day 7
Iโm seeing the second set of true leaves today.
That SS is crazy, I just harvested a "Night Queen" from RQS that grew exactly like it. I was wondering for some time what the hell caused it. Thought about cutting it down awhile ago but went ahead and grew it out. It was frosty af, drying right now.
Higher temps in flower leads to fluffy buds.
That SS pheno is amazing, she has grandparents landracing genes. Will be real beauty by crystals at the end.
Good luck !
@AsNoriu,thank you for the comment. I raised daytime temps from 75 to 77 last week and will see if that helps. They are in a tent in a detached building that I keep around 66 degrees so that's the temp they fall to at night. They both look healthy and I'll see them through till the end. It's boom or bust with the SS and either way I learn something.
Looks great, hope you enjoy your harvest! Have seen only 2 other ones grow like that before! It's crazy and has to be a pain to trim! Looking forward to seeing what you do next!
@Cyrusdavirus, hopefully that's the case. It supposedly only has a few weeks left so we'll see. This is a very fast auto. If it turns out well, I'll definitely source some more seeds.
@sandspur, I think that's the sativa side of the strain showing itself, extra light will help but it wouldn't be able to stop it from stretching ๐ that's just how most sativa will stretch, but they can fill that empty space with bud making some long pretty buds
@Red_Day, thanks for the comment. It definitely wasn't, but in truth most of this hits a grinder. It didn't have a lot of fan leaves and the bud structure didn't have a lot of embedded leaves. It's still the strangest thing I've seen. On the flip side, it's the best smoke I've grown.
@Cyrusdavirus, sure is. She has a few larger buds midway down the plant but most of her is willowy. It's getting closer to harvest for that one. I can't imagine trimming all that.
@Cyrusdavirus,thanks! It really took off this week. My first grow had some issues that I've avoided so far. Hopefully that continues.I still had a good harvest with that one so I'm keeping my fingers crossed here.
