Friday 3rd June - She popped on the having spent 72 +/- hours in paper towel. Placed her in airpot with Biobizz light mix, and added a humidity dome.
Sunday 5th June - Sprouted overnight, placed under TS100 @ 50% & 18inches.
Friday 10th June - Doing well, water only approx 200ml of water every other day with root juice @ 4ml/L. The second set of true leaves are emerging, cotyledons still attached.
Sunday 12th June - Steady growth. Reducing water intake, letting the soil dry out further now. Upped light output to 55% will increase daily (if plants respond well) by 5% daily. Note the up-turned leaf edge, over watering possibly or weird leaf morphology.
June 15th (day 10) - Nothing much to report some upward leaf curl, not sure about the cause. Looks healthy enough.
June 18th - (day 13) - Topped at 4th node. Pinched out, clean break.
June 19th (day 14) - Appears to be doing well having been topped at day 13. I wanted to give her as much time as possible to recover and get on the LST. No nutes yet.
June 23rd (day 18) - Started feeding 1ml/l fish mix, first true leaves showed signs of N def. Tucking leaves and LST where applicable. Few temp spikes to 30c due to warm weather.
I wonder what the effect of topping so early will have? Week two is pretty unconventional, with most preferring 3-5 weeks. She seems pretty happy though. Hopefully this will give maximum uninterrupted ( minus of course the LST ) veg time now.
June 26th (day 21) - Doing well, seems to have recovered well from the topping and lst and is doing okay. The only concern is slightly burnt tips on some of the older leaves. Unsure of cause, possibly early nutes but unsure. Will monitor
June 27th (day 22) - bit more suspect nute burn so flushed her with 4x straight water. I will resume feeding in a few days if I get any signs indicating N def etc.
June 30th (day 25) - Scrog net. First pistols spotted. No further water since flush, no further burn...
30th... two beers later. Hacked her. Probably broke the tree world rule of thirds by a little. maybe 35/40% leaf area removal. She'll be reet. Installed drip irringation.
Too much N? Oldest leaves are affected generally although some younger leaves showed burnt tips. No obvious clawing. Temps have been somewhat lower lately around 25.
Fed twice @ 1ml/l of Biobizz fish mix.
Decided to flush with straight water just in case.
Few issues with drooping. suspect light intensity. Dimmed the light and they seemed to perk up, this also coincided with a heatwave with temps reaching 33c.
Nutrient issues appearing. Unsure suspect calcium.
Moved the lights up to 16in on 100%.
I am growing in biobizz lightmix using 1ml/l of biogrow and biobloom as recommended for autos. I have pretty hard water but unsure on PH, soil science says that soil/mycorrhizal associations buffer PH so it doesn't matter in soil and calcium should be available. Cal or Pot or ??
I tend to agree with Roberts, however, I have removed some leaves incase of septoria but I suspect my airflow, humidity etc is sufficient that septoria shouldn't be an issue.
Reading more into both P & K def I'm going to up my feed and see what happens, as per Roberts's suggestion.
Growinggrannie, If I wasn't so sure about my conditions (I was suffering with low humidity) appreciate your input and will certainly monitor the situation carefully.
I don't think this has anything to do with nutes or PH or anything of the kind.. the brown spots are indicative to me of septoria which is a fungal disease... This is an article on the disease and what you can/MIGHT be able to do for it... https://www.trifectanatural.com/problem-identifier/get-rid-of-septoria-leaf-spot/
Good luck...
