3rd time growing - wish it grows better than the first two. Haha
Warning -- long post!
I have learned so much from my two dead plants experience. It frustrates me that they didn't even reach the vegetation stage but ofc thankful that I learned from them. Sorry babies.
So again, I have soaked the seeds in 250ml water with 1tsp hydrogen peroxide ( this hydrogen peroxide thing never fails me. The shells are soften faster than just regular water). Then I moved them in the paper towel. I used the water where I soaked them to wet the tissue (coz the water w/hydrogen peroxide thing. Hehe).
After 12 hrs in the paper towel, they sprouted really fast. So I have moved them to the growing medium. I use soil this time. Soil mixed is with vermicast, pumice and rice hull.
Just to share with you guys, I have learned (I hope I'm correct) that the main reason why baby plants are keep damping off is because of the humidity level in my place. I am from a tropical country and I live near the sea so the normal humidity level is about 75-85%. I have invested for the better dehumidifier this time.
Okay, back to my current growing information haha.
First day after the seeds sprouted from the soil, I have noticed that the other one seedling is kinda damping off or has a different color in the stem. I was worried that maybe I should move out so it won't contaminated the other one, But I realized that maybe it is because of the humidity so I lower the humidity level to 70% to 60%. Just to relieve myself from worrying that other one won't contaminated, I sprayed small ammount of water with hydrogen peroxide (250ml:1tsp) to the soil around the seedling. I know I am crazy but maaaaan you can't blame me! Haha
Next day, they looked healthy! The one that looks like dumping off is now standing by heyself. Proud mom here! 💖
I have a great feeling that I will make it far this time.
I just wanna send my gratitude to all the helpful advices from you guys and especially to @Robets. You guys are the best!
Okay, so I have mentioned that I was anxious and worried when I saw Hasty&Dasty is like damping off so I sprayed Dr Lemon water w/ Hydrogen P. I don't know if it saves her but at least she's still there hehe. So yeah she looks like overwatered that's why the cotyledon curled down. She recovered now.
I was right that humidity killed all my previous seedlings.
Please send me lots advice on how to take care or what to watch out on their vegetation stage. Thank you in advance!
Yesterday is their 2 weeks after they germinated.
Unlike my first 2 plants that died, , this batch are very easy to grow.
Okay so here's the timeline for their 2nd week...
First few days, no problem qnd they are healthy.
3rd day - I noticed that the chopsticks I used to guide them have white cottony mold. I panicked so I removed the sticks and I water them h2o2.
Next day , they are okay and looks healthy.
Yesterday - I noticed that there are two leaves that looks like yellowy or maybe turning yellow? I don't know if you can notice in the picture but to me it will turn yellow soon.
- Should I start feeding them nutes?
They are exactly 17 days today from the day they pop up from the soil.
- I would start them to 1/3 nutes then next 1/4, 1/2 and whole.
- when is the better time to feed them? Before the lights turning off or anytime on their 18 hrs lights on?
Do you mind sharing your nutes feeding schedule?
Thank you in advance guys! You are the best!
Been busy lately and no time for my diaries..
Okay so this is the 3rd week and I kinda noticed that the lower leaves are turning yellow.
I have started the feeding, 0.25ml each nutes.
One looks healthy but the other one looks sad and dying? Please see the photos for the reference.
I am planning to add more nutes and make it twice a week feeding. I have change the light routine to 19 to 5 hrs.
I water them whenever the firat inch top of the soil is dry.
They are look small, I think because I have fed them nutes late. I don't know if they are auto or what, they're just donation from friend hehe.
You think they will still going to grow a little more? I can't tie sone of the branches because they are short and small.
8 weeks yay! 🎉
Last week they look so small and gave small branches, I have set the humidity to 70%, temperature to 27° and light higher a little, they are now bigger and lots of leaves.
I have few issues about the leaves, There are three leaves that has brown that looks like sun burn? But I am not sure, please help me!
Do you have ang guess when they will move to flowering? I'm kinda excited for them to flower. Hahaha
Special thanks to all the grower that helped me, and given me so much advice! 💖

10weeks and few days to 11 weeks, they still looks small but I think I should move them to flowering?
The cycle still the same. Nutes once a week, watering them every 3 days when 1.5" top soil is dry.
I started prunning the unhealthy and big fan leaves that shaded the lower part.
And also, I think I did something wrong with LST. 😒
11 weeks 3 days a go!
3 days a go I move the light near the them and the next day I saw them wilted, have brown tips and some are have brown spots on the leaves (they are actually have brown spots already few days ago but very few leaves only like 3-5 leaves only and I always cut them whenever see one)
- I thought lights burn
So the next day I have pulled the light a little higher and lower the light a little.
- I thought nutes burn
I have flushed the soil with water that has 6.4 ph level. This day is their nutes day, I did not feed them and I am planning to feed them after 3 days after flushing one more time.
- wilted gone
After flushing water the wilting is gone but brown tips and brown spots still there. (I know they will never go away anymore)
Today is the 3rd day after I saw them unhealthy. And I can say that the brown tips are slightly visible than the first day I see them. ( first day I see the brown tips , they qre not visible in the photos but today I can see them im the photos. Please see the photos uploaded.
My questions are:
1. Are they possible got lights burn? If yes does it possible that the brown tips are get visible after few days?
2. Nutes burn? Should I feed them today?I have flushed the soil just now and I am planning to feed then nutes after 30mins.
3. They have nutrients problem, I can say because of their leaves but please help me what do you think should I do?
4. They are going to 12 weeks this week and I should move to flowring but I cant move to flowering when they are not healthy right?
Please help! This is my first time growing in this stage.
Been busy with work so I did not manage to update thee previous weeks.
3rd week of flowering and I had defoliated the babies.
They look so small and I don't expect for higher yield.
hey there my friend! good luck with your grow :) regarding young seedlings, they don't need that much water, they have so few and weak roots that water will sufocate them. Use a spoon or a seringe to give her just enought water. All they need for their frist weeks of life is inside the shell :) nature is amazing! I will be checking you out and having my fingers crossed for you.
Hello and Happy growing.
To avoid massive streching I would lower the Lights and If you transplant them into another pot plant them deeper almost to her first leaves :)
Have fun! 🍀
Hey Lacey!
Good to see that your plants are growing well!
Like Foxylove420 said, i think it is time to transplant.. if you transplant until the end of this week and you are using fresh soil when transplanting you wont need to give the plants any nutes yet, if you have some on hand you could mix in a root stimulator, following the dosage on the label, that would definitely give the plants a little boost and a better start in their new Pot's.
That's what i would do..
But you definitely have to get the nuts in the next days as sooner or later the plants will start to ask for them by getting lighter in colour and yellowing, like you have mentioned.
The plants are still little but they most likely have used up the nutrients that were in the soil of your little growbags.
The yellowing is a sign that they want more N (Nitrogen)
Have you already got some nutrients? It should be easy to find the nutrient schedual if you know the brand..
Oh, and the best time to feed (water) would be soon after your lights turn on.
Good luck 🍀 wit your babies!
They are still gonna grow for sure! We can encourage more vigorous growth if you are able to warm the room up a bit! Try to get up to around 80 degrees & 75% humidity, Place a 5 gallon bucket full of water in the tent and it will passively raise the humidity up it takes a while but it works and is a good work around if you do not have an actual humidifier. Also you could get SUNGRIP light pulleys so you can move the lights closer to the plants by a bit and get more PAR onto them. The more light intensity they have delivered to them safely the more they can photosynthesize and the more they can then grow.
@GrowerLacey, No problem Lacy I am so glad to see you getting some plant growth going every step of progress is a small victory! You should really check out our youtube channel and our tutorial series I think you would really benefit from it. It's for all levels of growers to utilize, I would really appreciate your feedback to better shape the next installment after this first series is completed!
Our youtube, Is linked off of our growdiaries main profile. I look forward to seeing you over there
Looking much better this time! I agree with all the wonderful tips on here to get ready to transplant into a bigger pot & then we can think about giving them some food at a nice low level to get them started. Look up sungrip light pulleys. They are cheap & very effective at raising & lowering your lights to the desired distances!
