-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
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!
A tall one right off the bat here. I've never grown a strain with so much CBD in it along with THC. I'll enjoy watching this run, wishful thinking if everything goes right.
Growing nicely, I'm excited for a high CBD and THC strain combination. It's supposed to be a good strain well-balanced medical strain with less stoney effects but still a pain & mood management, hopeful it'll work for me.
Wow she jumped 3" inches, being this small it's a huge accomplishment for her 👏. Looks like she'll be running for the sky as well. I'm interested to see the difference of a strain with high CBD as well.
The second tallest one of the bunch. I'm excited to watch how a strain rich in CBD grows in comparison to THC rich strains.
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.
This one's just kinda growing branches out from everywhere, kinda sporadic. That'll allow a lot of light penetration through the canopy.
Little bit of a storm passed through here so the outdoor plants are a tad stressed but that's good for them they'll harden off and become strong outdoor plants, hopefully 😁
I topped every bud site on every plant, both indoors & outdoors.
The plants are well adjusted to the outdoors, their roots are ready for some space! I'm trying my hand at a different training technique, we'll see how it turns out.
These plants are handling these crazy outdoor weather spikes pretty well. I put this new garden in so the soil is just okay, I'm still amending it and trying to dial in the pH.
It's been consistently hot and dry here but the plants show no heat stress. I've never grown in this area of the yard, it's shaded for a few hours middle of the day when sunlight is at it's brightest/hottest. So initially I was concerned of the lack of sunlight slowing growth a little bit it's been perfect for this summers weather.
They're starting to grow out more. Hopefully they'll start filling out soon. I'm second guessing the diameter of my homemade cages, hoping they'll be a support & training cage for when the plant is younger.
They're starting to fill out nicely. The support cages are doing a good job & the trellis' are starting to fill in nicely as well. Hopefully continued healthy growth with this consistent heat rolling through.
They are still growing healthy & finally starting to fill out the trellis' nicely, horizontally at least for now. Once flowering hits I'm hoping they'll finish filling out the trellis vertically with their stretching.
Showing their first signs of flowering. The stretch is well on the way & they have filled out the trellis' nicely. I am happy with the new techniques I've tried on these.
