First Grow.
2Ft X 2.5 Feet Grow room
300W LED w/ 132W actual.
1 NL auto plant
Fox Farm Trio
Root Organics 707 soil.
Day 1 - I soaked the seed in a cup of water for 16 hours then put the seed on plate and waited about 14 hours for the tap root to form.
Day 2 - I tossed the seed into the soil and im currently waiting for the leafs to pop up above soil line.
Day 3 - shell came off around 10pm and I watered her with very diluted fox farm trio big bloom. 2 teaspoons of regular water and 1 teaspoon of pre mixed 1/8 strength big bloom.
Day 4 - plant doubled in size over night - 70% humidity 85 degree temps.
Day 5 - 84 degrees 80% humidity & a couple table spoons of 1/8 strength big bloom
Day 6 - 85 Degrees 66% humidity, no water - new leaf looks crooked, you can see it in the day 6 pic - is that crooked leaf bad or do you think the leaf will straighten out over time?
Day 7 - I added a fan and exhaust to suck hot air out the house and I also started adding ice cubes to the humidity dome durning the hot part of the day to keep the temps in check.
Day 8 - temp 85, humidity 70% - watered last night with big bloom only. 3rd set of leafs is now showing 3 fingers and a new 4th set of leafs popped in overnight.
Day 9 - temp 85, humidity 70% - watered this morning with 3 tables spoons water - First watering with Grow Big 1/8 strength.
Day 10 - temp 84 humidity 60% -
Day 14 - temp 82 Humidity 55% - watered her 2x this week till run off. Once w/ nutes and once w/ PHed water.
Day 15 - Temp 81 Humidity 60% lights are now 22in above top of plant. watered yesterday w/ .25 gallon.
Every other watering was with fox farm grow big and the last watering was with 75% strength nutes.
no signs of nute/light/heat issues
I started to LST her this week
Day 22 - Grow Big @ 75% strength was in last watering.
Day 23 - nothing going on today.
Day 25 - Temp 83, Humidity 50%, Watered last night w/ quarter gallon of pre mixed 80% FF Grow Big. There is one little nub looking thing coming out of the stem. It looks like a long thin leaf but it is whiteish instead of green. - She put on about a half an inch in vertical growth over night.
Day 26 - Temp 83 Humidity 70% - just Watered w/ half gallon of 100% strength Fox Farm Grow Big and 50% Big Bloom
Pruned the lower branches last night - the leaves where ugly, shriveled up, wrinkly, etc.
Day 27 - temp 85 humidity 65 - water none. LSTed and pruned a little bit last night.
Day 28 - Temp 83 , Humidity 60%, Water - top half inch of soil is dry but the leaves do not look like they are thirsty. I will probably water later today though.
Day 29 - Temps and humidity in check. Watering her after this post (prob quarter gallon of PHed water) - going to test my automatic water drip system thing I got to water plants while im on vacation. There are multiple tops and the original top is no longer the main top since one of the branches caught up so my LSTing must be working. I will LST a bit more tonight.
Day 30 - Temp 82, Humidity 55%, Watered yesterday w/ half gallon of PHed water. LSTed a bit more last night and again this morning.
The newest leaves have 9 fingers, bottom growth is good, have not taken off any dead/yellow/wonky leaves in a couple of days now.
See a couple of rusty/brown spots but that does not appear to be happening on any new leaves.
I also read something about a foliar spray the other day so I decided to give my plant an epsom salt spray about 2-3 days ago which I think I forgot to mention in this journal.
Day 32 - Temp 83, Humidity 50. Hairs growing in every where. Watered her last night w/ half gallon 100% Grow big with the automatic drip system - I think it will work while on vacation. Lights will be off while on vacation so I imagine I will get a small yield
Still looking healthy.
Day 33 - Temp 83, Humidity 50% prior to watering, Watered just now w/ just short of a half of gallon. 50% Big Bloom, 100% Grow Big minus 1ml, and I also started flowering nutes today - 25% Tiger Bloom, 1/4t/G of FF Open Sesame.
Day 34 - Temp 83 Humidity 45% Starting to see a lot of hairs all over the place and I see 2 new tops forming. The new growth on the main stem is starting to get really tiny new main fan leaves. Still pretty long leaves but super narrow. I also lowered the light by an inch last night.
They're beautiful! I'm also following as I'm a couple of weeks behind you with my NL auto. I'm also using fox farm nutes.
I wonder if your higher starting wattage is allowing your girls to grow a bit bigger in the second week. I have my QB 260 set up but haven't turned them on yet, just using my QB 100 right now - afraid of the heat issue... guess I should turn it on and see. I guess I should start the LST-ing in the next couple of days too. One last thing - are you going to try stem splitting? I wonder if anyone has tried that with autos.
Good Luck and wishing you an abundant final harvest!
Your girl is looking nice. Sounds like a lot of water for such a small grow bag. I was giving my NL girl a quart every other night when I flipped her into flowering and she was in a 7 gal grow bag.
Good luck with your grow!
