Took a second for them to sprout, but sprout they did morning of 3/4. I woke up to them sticking right through, gave them a quick water to hydrate and moisten. Raised the light 40inches above seedlings and will monitor how they react, lowering as needed to prevent stretching. Water only as feeding every 4-5 hours to keep soil moist. Keeping cup over seedlings for humidity until I see some strength course through.
Top 1/4 soil is coco loco and perlite, mixed 80/20. Bottom 3/4 is FFOF, coco loco and perlite, 70/20/10. Didn't want burn on my seedlings and wanted their roots to grow into a nutrient rich medium. Will provide closing week 1 journal at day 7.
3/10- Day 7
End of first week and I am happy with the leaf formations. JH1 is growing large first set of leaves, 2nd set growing out by the hour. JH2 is plugging right alongside, has been showing signs of wilting, a little lost pep in the step, but the watering helped bring JH2 back strong-ish. Second leaves are forming beautifully, and I can see the beginnings of the 3rd set.
Mildly slow stem growth currently [girth] but part of that was due to dialing in light distance...part of it is age of the plants. Light is perfect at 30" now, had minor fluctuations throughout the week but settled on 30"being the sweet spot.
Fed water only as top dressing to soil and foliar spray every few hours, every day. Humidity cup was on until day 4... first measured feeding was day 5, 200ml of water with 1/4 strength silica boost by bloom city. Gradually increasing silica doses through life, capping at 3/4 strength, and will remain a constant in all feedings.
Oscillating fan has been going on lowest setting, moving the stems mildly. 8 hours uninterrupted in the AM, closing it with 4 hours in the PM. Closet does not get hot, average temp 78-82 degrees daytime, 72ish during dark period. Will keep fan schedule until my mini arrives.
Second watering day 7, 200ml with 1/4 strength silica.
Looking for opinions on when to defoliate JH2...main bud sites are visable, just a monster underneath, see D34-JH2 picture for current reference. Thank you all!
She looks about just ready to Defoliate, just take off the ones covering your bud sites underneath. Good luck! They look beautiful by the way! Great job π π
Hey there
Wow what a harvest, and great photos and a beautiful dog! π
We really hoped that you enjoyed growing our genetics, thanks again for sharing this diary!
@Fast_Buds, thank you thank you! Awesome genetics on this strain. Thank you for the nice words on my dog, she'll be happy hearing that (Bear is her name). Very happy with the harvest results, it was such a blast growing and documenting!
