Welcome to my diary for The Seedsman Tiny Pot Contest
I was left with two difficult tasks. Firstly, what the hell am I going to grow in? It has to be something unique! Can't just be any ordinary small pot..... Secondly, what am I going to grow in it? It also has to be unique! Can't be just any ordinary pot.....
The first obvious choice to me was a photoperiod. Since we are dealing with a micro root system, I would be able to train it like a Bonsai. As the roots get big, it would be easy to cut and maintain the root system before flower. Less chance of root bound and the plant would grow according to its environment. Then I said fuck it..... and chose an autoflower. It's a contest and I love a challenge! I landed on Oasis Genetics Auto Crystal Widow and a little hippo named Herbie! Herbie holds 0.081 gallons of soil. I'm hoping with a 12/12 light schedule it will keep the roots from getting out of control.
Wish me luck!!
GERMINATION:
Day 1, dropped seed in small glass of water. After 12-18 hours the seed will be transferred to a wet paper towel until taproot forms. End of Day 4 taproot had reached 3/4" and it was time for soil.
Welcome to week 2! .... We've had some issue with light stress and toppling. Hopefully corrected the problem with a taller bucket! Still watering every other day with 1-1/4 Oz.
Welcome to week 3 of my tiny pot grow....
Herbies just been chillin' taking in the sites and smells of the grow tent. Livin' his best life.
Plant is coming along fantastic! A few nodes have started to appear. Will probably be able to start training by the end of the week. Still just watering every other day when dry with 1-1/4 Oz.
Day 26,
Start of the LST! She bent.....
White pistol hairs shooting out of the top new growth. We are either are in flower, or very close to it.
Day 28,
She's in flower and recovered well from the LST.
Welcome to Flower Week 1 of my Tiny Pot Journey! Pistols are shooting out of all nodes.
I started the week off by adding a pinch of Gaia Green's All Purpose & Power Bloom to the top layer. After that, topped up Herbie with a couple finger fulls of living soil. 😉
Welcome to week 5,
Herbies just been chillin' as always, keeping the other plants company as they finish their last couple weeks. I've started watering twice a day, as the plant is now consuming more water.
Plant has not stretched much, definitely due to the auto's restricted root growth. Hopefully we keep her happy and grow a nice big nug!
Welcome to week 6 of my Tiny Pot Contest journal!
Not much going on this week, just been watering everyday. Herbie continues to chill in the tent watching over all the beautiful ladies.
It looks like stretch has been kept to a minimum. Going for one fat bud here! Buds are starting to get frosty by the weeks end.
