first week ever growing....they growing mega quick....there gona be monsters...
( 2 of my shishkaberry plants dont look they gona make it....)
one sprouted with no cotyldons and the other sprouted with one...seems frozen hasnt grown one bit
all other plants growing like monsters
height of the plant seems to have slowed down....now the growth spurt seems to be going in to the leafs....keeping tops of the soil moist wit spray bottle....sweet spot for light is about a hands distance from canopy....
Very easy grow so far hardest part is trying to control room tempreture....plants really like the mid 70s for tempreture and a bit cooler at night...plants are growing so fast you can notice every time I look at them
Transplanted em outside in the ground week 6 they got swamped on week 7 and got severely over watered week 8 I put em in new 45 gallon fabric pots and buried them a bit deeper to help root development they look better today then they do in the video....I'm a newb so knew nothing about ph and the 45 gallon pots have a ph of 8 very alkaline so there now not absorbing nutrient....bought ph down and going to start adding it to water and nutes apparently rain water has a low ph and it's raining again all week....hopefully it helps until I'm able to give them ph down....should be hard for them to get over watered in 45 gal pots...looking like a failed harvest
got two diffrent pheno types from same strain of seeds....one was a large short stocky plant with lime green buds and smelled like berrys and citrus while the other was a tall lanky plant with purple buds that smelled like berrys and spices....
I'm here to help so that take anything I say in a bad way because I know you're new to growing cannabis.
I don't know your budget and your full intentions but I will provide my honest opinion.
The plants looks very healthy. Now you have a serious problem concerning your growth rate. At 5 weeks from sprout your plants should be upwards of 20 inches minimum without topping. The issue im seeing can due to a lot of reasons but there are the most important:
1. Strength of the grow light- ensure there is enough PAR for photosynthesis to increase and gain plant size
2. You are using soil but it looks like pro-mix or another potting soil. These are usually barren mediums so a good fertilizer is necessary BUT you need the help of microbes to develop a good root zone. This increases plant size dramatically and will aid in photosynthesis as well.
3. Nutrients - cannabis plants are very greedy tbh. I start feeding my plants on a light mixture of nutrients from the day they sprout (if using organic potting mix you won't need to feed them for the first week of life or so) my advice since you are new is to get a nutrient line from Advanced Nutrients. Get their pH Perfect line and it will eliminate alot of problems with feeding.
So in short I would say to get a better light, add microbes to your medium and start feeding them with a good nutrient line.
Lights - amazon has a million different types. Look for one with full spectrum and IR and 660 NM
Microbes - Great White Mycorrhizae, URB naturals or Real Growers Recgarge
Nutrients - advanced nutrients Sensi Grow A&B...........Sensi Bloom A&B.
By just this you will have a good grow and harvest. After you harvest you can add some things like terrine enhancers etc but for now keep it simple and achieve a good harvest.
Hope I didn't write too much. I love growing and helping others grow so I hope this helps you out bro 👊🏽
Nice - your plants look great. What latitude are you at? My guess is that you’re in southern BC somewhere. I’ve mostly avoided photoperiods thinking they won’t work here (Edmonton) but with force flowering they can be made to work. Cheers and good luck the rest of the way.
@Northern_Ent, im acculy in ontario inbetween montreal and ottawa.....tempretures now at night are around 13 degrees and a little warmer in the day people around here harvest usualy beginning to mid october but ya the cold triggers the flowering rather then the amount of light.....it does get darker a little earlier round septemeber and october maybe about a hour or so earlier.... during summer they get light from about 5:45 am-830-9pm and around 6am-7:00pm in septemeber october....
Nice. Actually very impressive. I hope the weather there has cooperated for the harvest. Here in western Canada it’s been great cannabis weather since July so probably lots of record harvests happening this year.
