12/28 - Just popped the seed into a glass of water... when it sinks, I'll transfer it to a Root Riot and wait for germination. I've wanted to grow this strain for quite a while now and they JUST came back in stock at the North Atlantic Seed Co.... very excited! Another purple strain!
See you in a bit!
12/31 - thought she had popped up a little bit this morning but noooooo.... the silly seed had gone into the Root Riot upsidedown so it was her taproot that was coming out... turned her around and she should be good to go!
01/02/24 - and here she is! She probably would have been up yesterday if she had gone into the Root Riot right-side-up... She may have been named VERY appropriately - DEVIL cream... she's a little devil! But now she's ready for her bucket - going to get that ready and get her in the netpot with a wet towel encircling her since it's VERY dry here! The humidity is fine for everyone else (Pinky, OG, GG) but pretty dry for this little gal... gotta pamper her a bit and hope she doesn't make more fuss!
01/03 - Doing well for all the disruption done to her poor roots at the beginning... she'll be fine...
01/04 - A little slow out of the root riot but that's ok... it always seems like they aren't growing much at this point, does it?! But her conditions are great, she's getting good light, top-watering her with water from her bucket that has the Rapid Start in it and all is well.
01/05 - Well, the pic doesn't really do her justice here... she's coming along very nicely and I'm very pleased... I AM concerned, though, as the temps around her are falling off quite a bit during lights out (down to 60!) so I think I'm going to run her 24/0 for a while - at least until she gets bigger... that big a temp swing isn't good and will stunt her if I'm not careful... gotta take care of my baby!!
01/06 - She's going to have the closet all to herself in a couple of days... and I can then get the lights down a little closer to her which will help with the temp and hopefully get her cranking!
01/07 - Checked on her roots this morning... still no sight of them... that's ok, I'm patient! :-D
Seguire este diario muy de serca. Usted me a respondido a un problema en mi diario hidroponico. Si esta semana mejora sera gracias a su experiencia. Muy buena suerte en su crecimiento
@GrowingGrannie, no elegi su respuesta por que usted es una clara ganadora del concurso productor del mes. Pero se nota de muy lejos que tiene mucha experiencia. No necesita una insignia. Muchas gracias
@CULTIVATORFROG, thank you so much for stopping by - and I'm glad I was able to help you with your grow! Although you didn't choose my answer, I just want to tell you that if you use the chart I suggested, do so "with a grain of salt" - in other words, it's a good GUIDE, but it's not what I consider a "bible." You have to try to "read" your plants, too... as I know you do. Good luck with your grow!
@Raizen, thank you my friend! Happy New Year to you as well... with good harvest, good friends, and all the peace and joy you find in everyday things...
@GrowingGrannie, I highly doubt that. She is looking good so far, and you will get to experience your harvest far sooner, as mine are photos that had some first week seedling issues that they are still recovering from, so not in a rush to flower :)
Day 31 VPD issues! Yes, VPD came into my vocabulary earlier this year. I monitor it now like an obsession. I started some DWC grows, and I was concerned that my growth was off. Using your diary, I'm able to follow along, and I'm not behind at all. Glad to see some LST here, excited to keep looking,.
Great job on your diaries, I can see why you have won multiple awards. Thanks for all the work you put into these and all the questions you respond to.
Peace and may all your buds be StinkyBudz!
