Seeds came from my Brother, This is my first true attempt at growing this beautiful plant, Soaked seed with regular sink water placed in paper towel on a plate inside the tent with 12h lighting cycle.
Day 3 noticed tail growth started in the morning, waited for a few hours and noticed the tail was about a 1/4 long maybe. Decided to plant because didn't want to take the chance to damage a long. Made soil checked soil natural PH with no adjustment reader shows roughly 6.5-6.8~. Poked whole trying to not going deeper then 1/4inch (think I might have went to deep). Once seed was in soil used made first watering cocktail of Fox Farm Grow big and Big Bloom and poured water around seedling trying to not over soak. I feel like I have done this step backwards. Placed in tent with 24 hour lighting until I noticed a sprout. It's approaching the 20h mark have not noticed anything trying to protrude through soil. I do quality control checks every 2-3h to maintain conditions in these ranges 65-75% humidity and 75-80F.
Day 1 Seedling Noticed the seed starting push through the soil, light watering maybe 2 tablespoons worth of droplets twice today, lighting is set to a 20/4 I also turned off the red light and pushing blue and white, was reading that blue light helps with seedling growth. so giving it a shot track the results. environment remains the same as day 3.
Day 2 Seedling. Grew fast pushed the seed cap off starting to open up continued to water increasing amount slowly
Day 3 Seedling. opening up, nice little leaves however I did notice what looked liked to be browning or dry tips on both leaves very small tho going to keep an eye on this. Watered 1L added Silicic Acid extremely low amount probably did nothing or it will fry the plant we shall see, also add grow big and big bloom again lower then the recommended amount for 1L of water. I do not have a way to check my water PH levels so I am using Distilled water for now until my reader and PH up/down shows up however, I check soil PH levels are remaining the same 6.5-6.8~.. End of Day one of the little cotyledons is dangling and broken seedling is leaning I have the wire to try and help support hopefully this is not a problem
I dont have a fancy light yet but the one I do have it has 3 switches on it white/red/blue. What would be the best ones to have on during this seedling stage?
Thank You
I would leave all three turned on and move the light up or down as needed. I would leave the light on for 16-18 hours a day providing low to moderate light. There are free light meter apps you can download on your phone. They aren't calibrated or 100% accurate but they can get you pretty close and make getting the proper amount of light easy. I like the app PPFD meter. Then search online for "daily light integral chart" which will help you work the balance between how much light for how many hours a day.
Also, looking at your diary that fan with hose in front of it isn't going to do much. Fan's are great at moving air in the open but can't generate the pressure needed to move air through a hose very well. Blowers intended for the job are much better at forcing air through restrictions like ducts and bends. When your plant matures and gets a strong smell you probably will want a charcoal filter to control the smell and will definetely need a exhaust blower to make it work.
What are the photos of ingredients for? You have a great mix already with Fox Farm Ocean Forest so I'm curious what you are doing with all the other stuff. Did you mix your own soil? Are you using Ocean Forest? Did you add those other things to Ocean Forest?
Its been 8 days since the start of germination had starting Veg week I suppose. Gave 1L of Ph 6.5 water meter finally came in and ph down/up so I can water them semi properly. from this morning to even noticed leaves getting darker green and fat reaching up for light looks like a good start might be a little slow.
Day 2 notice new growth I watered .5L this morning before lights turned on. I have noticed a lot of run off and not soaking after a few hours. checked run off ph was at 6.7
Day 3 noticed the leaf is damaged some how I think it was from when it first sprouted when the shell was coming off, I looked for bugs or any signs of bugs on or around the soil or plant noticed nothing that looks like something would be eating it no idea what is goin on here its like that side doesnt want to grow I also noticed this when it first sprouted as it was leaning all the way over I provided support and mound dirt as support also (pictures in germination) I will continue to monitor
Day 14 from seed, Its starting to grow a little crazy lookin and also compared to other grows that are on day 14 from seed mine seems to be a lot smaller, switched over to 24hr lighting
Leaf damage or possible mutated plant?
I have detailed notes in my grow diary with pictures, I noticed this from sprout and been watching it as it grows. It appears to me that side of the plant doesnt want to grow I noticed the leaves looked odd, no bugs eating it
My brother had one of his bruce banner photoperiod seedlings do close to the same thing. It ended up being fine, just started off a little slower than the other one he planted. it sure is trying to catch up, though!
Just a slight deformation. Nothing to worry about.
