16 Dec: Added the seed between 2 damp cotton wool pads in a glass bowl, labelled it, covered with cling film and have put in the grow tent. Temp 19C, RH 50%. Now, the waiting game begins π
18 Dec: Checked on her today and she has sprouted π Tap root is only 2-3mm long at the moment, so will wait until its around 2cm and furry then plant her.
19 Dec: So the tap root is out now and big and furry ππ» Would have planted her today, but went to assemble my air-pots from the grow shop and they have given me the wrong size π‘ Will have to take them back tomorrow and get them swapped over. Have no choice but to wait until then, so hopefully she can wait another 18 hours. Annoyance level 5/10 π€
@Wicked_Stix, thanks mate, I appreciate that. I am still new to this and the diaries allow me to note things down and Iβve found it interesting to compare my last grow at this stage to my current one. It still just seems really unfair though. If it was a close contest Iβd get it, but when it looks like they didnβt even bother to look at or read my diary, the injustice of it stings. Thanks for the reassurance and kind words though, reminds me that the community is more important than the prize π
@greenhousegrowgirl, I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes I think they roll dice to pick winners lol. I have seem some amazing detailed diaries with beautiful top shelf buds lose to diaries with trash buds and no info. Dont let it get you down. Just enter diary of the month every month and eventually you will get it. Best of luck
@Wicked_Stix, thank you so much! This comment comes at a much needed time as well, because I lost the Newbie of the Month contest π I spent 100 days updating my diary with a comment for every day and some of the winners had no detail whatsoever. I've had a bit of a crisis of confidence and felt like I was wasting my time, but to see that someone has read it and liked it, makes a big difference. THANK YOU for taking the time to comment π
Amazing setup! I was looking at your first grow and you really were all out! I'm sure it will be an amazing harvest. I used Air Pots when they first came out and they were so messy. They look clean! Now the Honor The Plant pots I am trying are much more messy. Congratulations on the amazing grow!
@KAPT_SAVE_Da_HOE, thanks so much! The watering is the messiest bit, so I hear you. I wrote a lot about it in my first grow diaries as it took me a while to get to grips with them. I'm still learning, but if you go back to airpots on your next grow, I'd be happy to share what I learned. I'm behind in my diaries, but will update them in the next week or so. I'm going to chop them today!!!
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running this diary :)
We really hope that you enjoyed growing our genetics! Congrats growmie, pollen for days!
Happy harvesting
