Approx 18/06 planted GERMINATED - 21/06 using jiffy pellet.
This is my first grow so will be figuring out how to use this diary/ grow as I progress. I have what I fondly refer to as a "black thumb" so I am trying extra hard not to kill this poor baby.
If you decide to comment, please keep this in mind!
Jiffy pellet was put into glass jar with Fox Farm Ocean Forest Potting Soil (approx 1 cup) underneath. Insufficient drainage resulted in acute wilting due to root drowning 25/06.
The seedling was placed under a small reading lamp for 4 days & stretching of seedling was noted up to 8 days post germination.
Plant put into space bucket* 24/06 with 4 CFL lights at 80 watts total.
Transplanted to red solo cup 26/09 & wilting fully corrected 29/06.
29/06 Stacked seedling on top of red cup to move CFLs closer.
* = (Space bucket was constructed using 5 gallon buckets.)
Stem mostly recovered from wilting however wilting still evident in leaves.
29th of June stacked seedling on top of upended red cup to move grow light closer.
30th of June noticed brown centralised spotting.
On 2nd of July transplanted to "Bloem 13-in W x 10.1-in H Honey Dew Resin Self Watering Planter" (Lowes product)
6th of July wilting appears to be rectified.
7th of July used Fox Farm "Grow Big" nutes.
Plant had grown to top of first space bucket by the 10th of July.
Spacer added (height of 5 gallon bucket) to move CFLs further away.
12th of July switched 3 of the 4 CFL bulbs to LEDs (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZYMB8TD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) which brought total watts to 104.
13th of July plant moved from space bucket to grow tent.
NEW SETUP:
Grow tent 38"W 38"L 68"H
4x 60W LED bulbs 2ft from the top of the plant.
14th July - 8 inches tall, 12 inches wide.
Really cocked up this grow. Put this plant in the grow tent approx 2 weeks ago and have only recently rectified the fact that there were not enough light for the area to sustain growth. There was a lot of leaf death over this 2 week period and I've only recently tried to start LST. Pretty much I'm going to keep this in veg and make clones if (God I hope) she turns out to be female. That's the gamble with regular seeds I guess. Despite all this she's still not dead so hopefully I'll be able to tell sex in a week or two. Irregularly been using FF Nutes so I'll need to start being more militant about monitoring again. OOPS!
Thanks, 100% of this will be luck if she survives! Getting much stronger lights in a couple of days so hopefully she'll like that. How's your Wedding Cake?
