-SOAKING SEEDS STARTED AT 4:15PM on 4/2/22
All of them sank by the next day with a little stirring of the water - most of them were floating before I stirred the water then they sank & stayed underwater.
-PLANTING SEEDS STARTED AT 6PM on 4/3/22
Seedling Starter Soil:
1 Coco Coir Block (hydrated with 12cups aquarium water)
About 5 cups Vermiculite
4Tbsp Down To Earth Starter Nutrients
Mycorrhizal Fungi Spring Water - watering the hole with mycorrhizal before planting seed & then again after planted.
-AFTER THE FIRST SPROUT ON 4/5/22
Turned on seedling clip light to blue only, dimmest setting @ 20%. Keeping light on for 18/6 6am-12pm
- 4/6/22 INCREASED BLUE ONLY SEEDLING LIGHT TO 50%
It seems like they were slightly stretching for light **watch for light burn on cotyledon leaves**
-4/7/22 MORNING INCREASED BLUE ONLY SEEDLING LIGHT TO 100%
The plants are stretching even more I increased light to full 100%, it'll have to keep an eye on them & make sure they don't get light burnt or topple over from reaching
-4/7/22 AFTERNOON SWITCHED LIGHT TO GIIXER
The two tallest plant cotyledon started to droop to the side so I didn't want to take a risk continuing to try the clip light only on blue @ 100%. I have the Gixxer on only veg at a distance of 10" away from the tops of the cotyledon leaves. I also cracked the lid & put an oscillating fan on low just to give them a tiny bit of movement to strengthen their stems because they'll be tall and weaker with stretching.
*I tried using a new seedling light & it was a failure - they are now stretching due to that light. I switched back to my trusted seedling light & hoping they'll be back on track.*
I filled the nursery bags up with soil to the top to bury more of the stretched stem for stability. I moved the light up to 14 inches above canopy to prevent light burn, they're growing bigger everyday.
The true leaves are coming in nicely 🤗🌱
It's doing well & I can see small spots of mycorrhizal fungi on top of the soil so I know the roots must be loaded with them!
They're lagging a little from the transplant, hopeful next week we'll see their growth spurt starting.
She seems to be one of the healthiest of the bunch.
Her leaves are grow-ing! She has the most leaves of all the babies. She's definitely ready to soak up all that light. She's not getting much taller very quickly but growing more horizontally. She'll be staying indoors with me.
Still growing leaves nicely. She's already looking beautiful, I think this is going to be a pretty girl.
I've had several different GSC flowers and they've all hit a little differently, I'm interested to see how this one will hit - granted she gives me flower.
She's been the bushiest plant so far. I'm excited for this girl.
I topped and defoliated every plant. I'm trying to form them into canna-bushes. Hopefully I'm doing the correct training procedures to make them all grow that way both indoors and out.
She just gets bigger everytime I see her. I'm excited to watch her grow into what will hopefully be, a beautiful flower filled plant.
I topped every bud site on every plant, both indoors & outdoors.
These girls are doing well, all handling the training well. They are bushing out nicely, I think I will be flipping to flower soon but after a solid defoliation.
They're really starting to bush out, I think I'm liking the topping of all tops on the whole plant 1 time. Makes it easy to train as well. We'll see how they compare in harvest amount to my LST long veg plants.
Getting bushier much faster than I expected compared to my last grow with only LST training versus topping this time.
I had to move them from the smaller 4x4 tent into the bigger closet..
These are bushing out much faster than my LST only grow just before this one. I'm liking how all of the topped tops are growing out. They are bushing out so much that only 4 plants will fit in the grow space.
These have been growing nicely, healthy little indoor bushes. I'm really liking the combination of topping all tops & LST - I think from now on this will be my go-to growing technique.
