Day 10
Fed a small amount of nutrients again, seems to be enjoying them, no signs of nute overload.
Not growing as fast as i'd like, will hopefully grow a bit faster once i've taken Gorilla Glue out, so i can have them directly under the light + raise them up to be closer.
Probably should have just made 1 diary for both this and Solomatic but ah well. If you check the Solomatic diary you'll see i'm having a bit of a while fly battle... not really a battle, just a few. I've sprayed all plants minus Gorilla Glue and some tiny seedlings with "Enspray99" - https://www.grosafe.co.nz/insecticides-hg/organic-enspray-99-insect-oil-300ml/ - which has worked well for other things in the past (powdery mildew) so i'm hoping it will at least deter the flies. Will probably get some burns from it being under the light after spraying but meh, worth it.
Temps aren't great since going to metal halide, could be part of why she's not growing all that fast... but i mean, its only been 10 days so i should give her a break lol
if you look closely you can see a wee habanero seedling in there, didn't think it would grow, we'll see how long it lasts lol
DAY 15
Didn't realise i could just edit the weeks instead of just starting a new one lol.
So day 15, i made a dumb mistake, while performing some LST on my Solomatic Auto, which went well, i tried to do the same with cbd lemon, for some reason the stem was very hard (even though solomatic is a lot bigger it was still easier to bend), and while bending it i heard/felt it break :( obviously not a clean break, more of a fracture. i left it bent over for a few hours and checked on it, the solomatic had bounced back but not the cbd lemon. So i undid the LST and attached a split on the main stem to keep it upright (it didnt really need it but though i should anyway), its growing fine, new growth over night. i've since cut off the splint... i think i was just panicked more than needed. it'll most likely grow fine but may be stunted.
I also noticed the leaves are quite rough, which i guess is kinda normal for early leaves, but ive raised the lights just in case. each plant is still getting 25-30,000LUX, which is the range it should be in.
Now that i've harvested Gorilla Glue, i've turned down the extractor fan a lot, to boost the humidity up for easier growth, its around the 55-60% range now (as opposed to 35-40%), hopefully it helps :)
Oh, and i really shouldnt have added nutrients, getting a bit of nute burn. so no more until flower.
@banurnerphone, thanks friend, ill be following yours too :) always interested to see how herbies seeds work out. Especially interested in the CBD Lemon Auto as there doesn't seem to be many/any successful documented grows.
Feel free to check out my other grows too, have a gorilla glue auto finishing soon, solomatic cbd auto starting and soon a critical XXL (the critical is going to be a bit of an experiment with a small-ish pot)
@banurnerphone, hey man, sorry for the lack of updates, been pretty hectic.
had some issues early on which stunted her, plus im having some calmag issues.
currently only like 10-11inches tall :( probably end up being a 15" plant. small, 1 oz max id say. is what it is, since im not worried about it too much i decided to lollipop it a bit.
will post pics asap.
I've just put another cbd lemon seed straight into its final pot, waiting for her to pop up. using a 3gallon airpot this time, ive got a bad habit of defoliating too much. this time im just gonna let her do her thing and not touch, unless she really needs it.
