Both popped after 36 hours, then put in soil - they popped out of the soil in less than 24 hours - literally none of my seeds (probably germinated 10 seeds) have failed in intratuin soil, it's amazing. Since i'll be transplanting in a few days anyway, i put them together in a 5L pot. made sure to get a good amount of water in the bottom 2/3 of the soil so the roots have something to reach for.
Now they're "under" (more to the side lol) my 45W LED, which seems to have worked for other seedlings. 16/8 light schedule, need my sleep
both are looking good. survived the car ride to their new home, although the mandarin got slightly crushed. she's still doing fine tho, so we'll call it some HST lmfao - it's a rite of passage for my seedlings at this point.
I transplanted yesterday into their final homes. The substrate is soil, worm castings, peat and perlite + the roots of my old francos lemon cheese (torn up). The soil is very moist, so I wont be watering for a little while. Pictures coming soon
i was reading grow questions about transplanting, and it seems i may have done it too early - they just sprouted the first node when i transplanted, and theyre small. theyre showing no signs of stress. if I f'ed them up, i'd see it today right? what are the downsides?
Plant will droop, it can stun or slow growth from here out. If you did not mess with roots during transplant you might be fine. Deciding on indoor or out needs to be done. Switching will likely cause problems during your grow due to spectrum and intensity etc.
The plants look fine if they continue to grow you did good.
The mandarin punch is looking perfect.
Banana frosting is a different story,but she’s still growing. Could definitely be the early transplant, but I’m leaning towards the ~1minute in direct sun it got when I forgot to close the window. Seems over fed too, but I haven’t added nutes. I would flush but I don’t want to drown it. So we’ll see what happens. Humidity is probably too low as well. Gnats in the soil too. Gotta set up my grow tent again.
Growing is hard.
Banana frosting still looks like shit. Just going to keep going and hope it gets better, again, not much I can do.
Mandarin punch is looking amazing. Giving about 200ml of water every 2-3 days, no nutrients in either pot. Going to start LST but not sure what to do or if it’s ready yet.
They get sunlight (through the window) from 8-12pm, then under the LED
Banana frosting still looks like shit. Got a feeling it’s been overwatered because the soil around it doesn’t dry out well at all. Guess the transplant fucked it up - just going to keep going and hope for the best.
Mandarin punch is looking good, we’re at 5 nodes so I think it’s time to FIM? I’m hésitent to add nutrients, but I think I’ll top it with compost until flowering, then bio bloom. Gonna need advice on LST because it hasn’t filled the pot. The next problem will be lighting, my 45w light clearly isn’t enough. Sucks that the past week has been partly cloudy, I think some extended sunlight would help dry out the BF.
I would recommend topping the plant "HST" and then using LST on the remaining nodes that will develop from the topped site. It will take a bit of time but it will be easy.
I would also read up on how to LST and HST to get a better understanding of it. also look at jourals that use HST and LST to get a better understanding of it.

You can see my HST and LST in this diary. its a bit long but if you scroll through the weeks you can see it coming together.

Topped soil with about 30g of coffee grounds for some extra N + about 2ml of tomato fertilizer (3-2-5) - chose this mainly because it has rooting hormones and seems unlikely to cause lockout @ that concentration. Watering with a spray bottle, and not much at all to avoid overwatering.
Now that the WZ is done, they can take its place and get 10+ hours of sunlight instead of 4h + LED. Hoping this pushes them through until i can get my hands on a legit LED.
BF is obviously stunted, but the new leaves look healthy so I'm hoping it continues like that - quality over quantity
MP looks amazing - i have never not fimmed, so I'm interested to see how it continues to grow. there isnt really anything to tie down so idk.
now i have to decide between indoor and outdoor. i'm leaning towards indoor because if they take 12-14 weeks from seed to harvest, id have to take them inside mid-flower. im dumb, i have two autos that I should have started instead of these two. but it is what it is lol, i'll figure it out :) i really wish i could find a solar powered battery/generator of some sort that i could plug my lights into
