RQS - The Littlest Dwarf

Well, this week is off to a rocky start for the only remaining Royal Dwarf. Happy is looking very sad, which is a shame - his leaves from last week when there was too much water in his pot will never recover. But, from this we can learn: - The substrate (Miraclegro houseplant mix) is very good at retaining moisture when saturated, and dries out well when it is not. Additionally: - Cannabis is the "grows anywhere and under all conditions" plant. So: - Why does everyone make out that it needs so much attention and you must do this and should do that and all that stuff, and not to pollinate your autos? I'll tell you why - it's to sell you, the average home grower, stuff you don't need, and keep you buying seeds. What looked like over-watering was not a case of "oh it's how Royal Dwarf grow" and was that it was growing in a super-saturated, airless bog. This has been rectified and the substrate is now nice and fluffy and airy and makes a lovely popping sound when the water is being sucked up. So - I have hopes for the next week that Happy will spring some leaves that aren't ragged, and start to look a bit more healthy. I'm considering giving him a little feed, but would prefer him to have shown signs that he is recovering better from the boggy soil. Each day, I'm dropping maybe 150ml water around his base. Any excess drains through and sits in the pot's saucer. My pH meter is broken, so that sucks. Later on, if he recovers and is doing ok, before he develops more root - I will transfer him to a slightly larger, plastic pot and have him sitting on a saucer inside. He'll be moved away from the window and under 100w LED and 30w LED white that I'll be using to raise autos and also veg some who will - hopefully come into flower around the same time as the autos are finishing. This way there'll be more space - I might have to put the fems outside for a while, but they are still seedlings, and have only just popped. I think I have too many... I gave away 10 of them yesterday, and have 10 remaining. Shit... I don't want that many - I only want 2 fems 1 male and a few autos... When I look at Happy's leaves and how they might grow with the raggedy weird looking thing they have going on - I remember ImpatientGrower's Royal Dwarf: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/137489-2-grow-journal-by-impatientgrower/week/753455 I think that the leaves will end up looking like this - although his started off looking like a Brussel's Sprout xD lol // 14/04 I've repot the guy in his square pot, because I think it's gonna be an indoors one from now, as the weather is overcast and very cold. Plus teh snails... :/ Oh shit... I just looked at the photo from the top and I can see the leaves curling a bit at the edges and a yellowish line - that looks like sunburn from the lamps..? wtf... he was under them for 2 days only when it was pouring with rain so hard. This guy is proving to be a pain in the ass to grow. All those false starts with the seeds, and the "easiest" auto is proving to be a right dick..! Happy is being re-named. He's now called Grumpy. Fuck this guy. He better start behaving when he's inside.
