Wed Aug 24 - The seedlings are looking good. I can already tell that the plants are looking a tad taller, new leaves are forming
Fri Aug 26 - The seedlings look great. Everyday they are growing
- the soil is starting to dry out, but not as fast as I'd like. I feel that I'll be watering these plants every 5th or 6th day
- I felt that some plants aren't getting as much fan access as the soil is not drying out evenly, so I slightly lowered the fans
- the seedlings are not growing evenly, that that's to be expected with 19 plants on the go
- but even the slightly shorter ones are looking healthy and producing new leaves every day
Sat Aug 27 - normally, I would water the plants on the 4th day, but I think the soil needs to dry out a bit more. I'll see if moving the fans helped
- I churned the soil on the plants where the soil still looked wet
- some plants look dry and the grow bag feels light and some look wet still and are heavier than the dry ones.
- the ones that are still wet are not necessarily the ones that are 'land-locked'. Some are and some are on the outer edges
- It looks like churning the soil helped a bit
Sun Aug 28 - The plants seems to be drying out. I moved the dryer ones to where the wetter ones were and vise-versa to see if there areas
with low air flow
- I will say, I don't recall having this problem with the previous grow of photoperiod, however, the differences are that when I
transplant the photoperiod seedlings into their grow bags, they are 2 weeks old. Autoflowers are known to require less
water then photoperiods. I used to water the photoperiods once every 4 days. I think it may be every 6 days for autoflowers
- I noticed that the signals that I thought were nutrient burn or ph fluctuations are only on the leaves that were there when they were
first transplanted, but there are no signs of trauma on any subsequent leaves. No signals of deficiencies.
Mon Aug 29 - watered the plants.
- the soil did the same thing as the first time when using the large measuring cup and not the water can.
- the soil rises up and then settles, but does not get wet?!?
- I watered half of the plants with the measuring cup and the other half with the watering jug.
- I'll see which plants look better afterward…
- part of me thinks it's better to get all of the soil wet using the watering can
- part of me thinks it's better to let some of the soil stay dry so that nutrients don't get needlessly washed away
- it's hard to know which is better
- I did notice that the FFOF soil is different from the last 2 times I used it. There are more wood chips, more large pieces of wood that
had to be removed and there are pieces of something… it almost looks like small chunks of plywood…
- all in all, the plants are looking good…they are noticeably taller every day. I think just two plants are a tad smaller than the rest, but
they still look good though.
@amsterdammarijuanaseeds,
This is my 3rd grow. Every seed I've purchased has been from AMS. Your prices, selection, payment options and delivery are the best!
I already have 2 more grows planned immediately following this grow and I've already ordered the seeds.
Thank for being the best seed bank!
