Germination
3 years ago
After 24 hours in glass of water, I put the seeds 48 hours to germinate using the paper towel method inside the container you see in the photo. Then moved both germinated seeds (with a 1cm root) to the substrate. The 6th day they showed up in the surface as you see in the photos.

Day 7 of growth (Would be Day 1 of vegetation): Both Mario & Maria are growing their first pair of leaves. Happy to see what happens at the end of their first week of vegetation. I will not add nutrients for now. I will wait another 7 days to start with nutrients. At the middle of Day 7 (Again, it's day 1 of vegetation), I put both Mario & Maria outside to take the sun for the first time as you see in the photos. Let's see if that helps make them go vertical again. Day 9: They have grown bigger! Everything is fine for now. I changed from 18/6 to 20/4. I'm using the grow lights with full spectrum, but during the morning I'm putting the plants in the sunlight. Day 10: Both moved to the new setup. Mars Hydro TS600 grow kit with a 100W lamp. Day 12: They are bigger. Mario has some white stains. Maria looks healthy.

Hey guys! I noticed one of my little plants (Mario) looks less healthy than his sister (Maria). It has some white snipes on the leaves Do you think it could be a Nitrogen deficiency? Should I start adding nutrients already? (Haven't started with nutrients yet)
Solved

Oh I'm going to disagree with my growmies on this one - autos do not like nutes in their first week or two and do just fine without them! If you're growing in Bio-Bizz Light, they're getting SOME nutes now so I wouldn't add any more - not for another week at least! I think the color is simple genetics and she'll calm down and get on with life normally very soon. I once had a plant that was stubbornly lime green her entire life and it didn't impact the grow or the harvest. I think she'll be just fine! Good luck!

Day 14: This week I'm increasing the humidity inside the tent with a wet towel and containers with water. I also removed the half bottles that were over the plants to generate extra humidity, because they got burned because of that, as you can see in the leaves, there are some brown snipes. Day 15: I added a towel and containers with water inside the tent to increase humidity, I managed to bring it up to 67% in some parts of the day. Day 16: I'm convinced Mario has thrips. I will add Potasium Soap in a couple days to kill any thrips possibility, and also add a moistmeter in the soil to know exactly if I'm overwatering or not. Day 18: Started with the feeding. Rizothonic + Vega at 25% of the recommended dosage. Added just 12ml of water on each plant. I don't want to overwater. Also added a new fan to the setup. Day 19: Added Potasium soap to the leaves during the dark hours. They look better already. Day 20: Added water + Solution of water with 25% nutrients I already created on day 18. I'm going reeeally slow with nutrients. D21: Forgot to make photos. Sprayed potasium soap solution at 2% over the plants, to avoid any pests.

Hey guys! Do you think these are thrips? The leaves have these white snipes already since some days ago. Also, If you look carefully, there are micro white things on some parts in the leaves that could be the thrips themselves. I'm thinking of adding potasium soap for this.

High cannanova, This is not done by trips. I would not do anything for now and just keep an eye on it if it doesn't become worse it's nothing (I do not think that this is anything to worry about). You should buy a x60 pocket microscope. These things are like and can help identifying pests and look at the trichomes so you know when is the perfect time to harvest. Happy Growing! 😋

D29: (Sunday 28 August). I'm not adding water today since I noticed Mario's leaves are dropping off. I will wait until tomorrow to water again and see if Mario gets better. D30: (Monday 29/08/2022). I'm not adding any water today either. Mario's leaves still dropping off, let's see. D31: (Tuesday 30/08/2022). Not any water today either. D32: (Wednesday 31/08/2022). Not any water today. D33: (01/09/2022) I added some water today, and Mario got a bit worst, I don't understand why since I waited for 5 days before watering again. D34: (02/09/2022) Just observed both plants. Mario got worst. I will not water him again in at least 7 days to see what happens. D35: (03/09/2022) Nothing new happened. Tomorrow I will add water only to Maria.
