The week started quite well. I put them into the tent, running the SP 3000 at 50% and 50cm distance and the seedlings were growing nicely. But after a few days I noticed that the Jack Herer started to grow faster then the other strains.
First I thought it's because of the genetics, but during my daily check I saw a big fat grub in the soil. I assumed that the potting soil must be infected.
I searched for some information online and found out that those critters are eating roots.
So I decided to repot every plant into fresh soil, although they are still very small and sensitive. I tried to be as carefully as I could removing all of the old soil but the roots are so fine that a bit of damage could not be avoided.
But I was right to do so. While repotting I found a lot more of them, especially in the two Chocobangs and Banana Frosting. Their roots were much less developed than the Jack Herer's, where I have not found a single grub.
I hope the little plants are going to recover. We will see.
Update:
One of the Jack Herer was fimmed. Maybe a bit early, but I want to try things out. So far she is doing a great job in recovering. I hope I have not missed the fim, lol.
The Jack Herers lost maybe a week of development because of the mess up with the grubs and the very early repotting, the other strains lost probably even two due to the fact that the grubs damaged their roots. I was worried about one Chocobang and the Banana Frosting, but actually they are recovering just fine as I can notice a lot of new root growth at the bottom of the pot.
From now on I am very optimistic in the next weeks of watching them getting bigger!
