This is my first grow in this custom built cupboard so will be experimenting as i go. I have completely sealed off a cupboard/box and lined it with reflective materials. I have 2 Lights going, one Cree Led and one basic purple grow led. Has also had a 150mm Inline fan put in for exhaust, which is sucking air through nicely. This box is about 29 cubic feet of space or just under 1 cubic mtr.
Have put both seeds into a moist paper towel, then ziplocked in a bag and in the hot water cupboard to help with Germination. 25/08 (Will update as the week goes on)
Pulled seeds out to check on progress with sprouting after one night. The LSD seed has split and the beautiful little baby is beginning to emerge. The Grandmommy Purple is yet to split but fingers crossed for tomorrow. Today i also filled my 2 seed pots with CANNA TERRA PROFESSIONAL soil, i soaked that soil with water and let drain for 10 minutes. Now have put both pots in the hot water cupboard to warm up in preparation for the sprouts. 26/08
Opened the hot water cupboard first thing in the morning to check the seeds. The LSD sprout had gone from just peaking out to about 8mm over night so i decided to plant her into the warm seed pot. The Grandmommy purple has split and her sprout was visible but i decided to leave her in the paper towel for an extra twelve hours to establish the sprout more. Then she was planted the same as the other. Both were put straight into makeshift grow cupboard. 21 degrees Celsius and 55% humidity in the cupboard rough average. 27/08
Nothing much to report on today. Seeds are in the grow cupboard in their pots so now its a waiting game! 20 degrees Celsius and 60% humidity roughly over the day 28/08
12pm today i opened the grow space to find the LSD has emerged through the substrate as a healthy seedling (I have added photos). The Grandmommy Purple hasn't quite come through but i can see her, so i expect she will be out in the morning. Temperature has been at about 22 degrees Celsius today and 50% Humidity. 29/08
Today the Grandmommy Purple came through but i am worried she may be a little stunted, appears to have deformed first leaves. 30/08
UPDATE: I'm flagging the Grandmommy Purple and am going to focus on the LSD Seedling. I will leave the current stuff i have up about GMP but will not be updating information about her from now on.
Not so much a problem but being this is my first indoor grow i'm curious as to why my first set of leaves that grew off my LSD Seedling have gone scallopy/wavy, yet the rest look fine? Should i worry or is this just normal.
This is pretty common, believe it or not. Especially with feminized seeds.
It will start throwing normal leaves soon enough.
Good luck on your first indoor grow! If you have any questions, feel free to message me.
I’m about 5 weeks into veg of my LSD plant in my indoor cupboard. I’ve just been looking at other LSD grows and I’m worried mine seems awfully small compared to others. It’s leaves are huge and the stems are thick but it’s very short and stocky. Do I need more light or not worry?
Hi there
She does look small and could just be genetics or overfed and abit unhappy ..
But she looks rich in nitrogen so cut the feed abit and give her a flush,
Make sure shes getting good light 👍
Best of luck 🌱
Great first entry. I am doing something similar. I have to admit, getting temperature and humidity down has been a struggle until investing in an EC fan. It seems you've hit that nail on the head from the start. Best of luck 👍
@VertiGrow, Appreciate it man. I was definitely worried about temperature to begin with but when i bought my exhaust fan i decided to get about 2 1/2 times more airflow then i need. Helps keep everything cool so far. When humidity is low i'll put a tray of water in the cupboard under the light to create some minor condensation in the air. When its too much i actually just throw a regular old work light with a nice hot light bulb and within an hour of running it generally dries out. Obviously this could differ on environment.
I will be keeping this updated, and will have a look at your page to see if i might pick something up off you.
@Bakedwizzard, Thanks man, i'm going to keep up to date on this diary so keep an eye on progress! Fingers crossed things go smooth but a challenge is always fun.
Any lux meter shows 20k its perfect for veg. At canopy level. So i think she has even too much light now, it can stunt her too.
In flower i was gradually either decreasing light or increasing intensity to up 60k reading on most lux app on google play store
