D22.
We're at the start of the fourth week, and she loves life and looks healthy and vibrant.
I prepared some Sprouted Seed Tea (SST) today. I started a few days ago by soaking barley and corn in water with fulvic acid and kelp meal, then letting the seeds rest in a moist towel inside a paper bag.
Today, the seeds had sprouted enough, and I put them in a blender with one liter of water and blitzed the hell out of them. The amount of finished tea was sufficient for ten liters of water, so I filled small plastic bags with the leftover tea and put them in the freezer. That way, I can grab a bag whenever without going through the whole sprouting process each time.
I gave her one liter of the SST @ pH 6.5, with some humic acid mixed in.
She also got a light foliar spray with fulvic acid and horticultural soap as a wetting agent.
Increased DLI to 32 and will start LST tomorrow.
------------------------------
D23.
She had finally grown up enough to get tied down, so I started LST today. Well, barely, as all I did was lean her over.
The branches on the first node are underdeveloped, as they often are due to only having a single-leaf fanleaf to power them. I removed the bottom branch/leaf but kept the top. For now. I'll give it a chance now when it gets more light, but doubtful that I'll keep it.
------------------------------
D25.
I'm adjusting and/or adding LST a couple of times per day.
The soil is still moist and hasn't required any additional watering. (I plan to fill the bottom reservoir for the first time in a few days.)
Other than that, it's smooth sailing. DLI set to 36.
------------------------------
D28.
We're at the end of the fourth week and the last week of veg as she is moving into flower. It already looks like she will be a purple phenotype. Statistically, most are, but I was hoping for a green anyway.
More LST to spread her out. DLI set to 40.
------------------------------
This is a great strain ๐๐ I'm about to cut one of these down and it's only like 8 weeks old. She grew a flowered up so fast I almost missed the fun of growing it ๐ ๐คฃ
Good luck ๐
@Cyrusdavirus, I'm curious as well if she will be as fast as yours. I can say that she is already starting to poke out of the plug. Less than 36 hours after planting. Faster than any of my previous grows. I'm only seeing the top of the seed so far, but still.
@love_2_grow, I'm excited to see if your LSD will grow super fast like mine or if mine was just a freak, I've had a few plants that do that and I'll grow another one of the same seeds and it's normal. I'm just curious ๐ค to see what happens ๐ค good luck sir ๐
Nice setup, I'm curious especially what you think of the pre-made soil. This is exactly the pot you recommend to me once, isn't it?
And LSD-25 is a very nice strain, I had the pleasure to smoke it once.
@kohlrabi, Yeah, it will be interesting to see how that soil performs, and yeah, we talked about this pot. It's the first time I'm growing in a SIP so it will be an interesting experience.
@Lazuli, Thank you, and yeah, IKEA spotlights ftw! As for color, I'm actually hoping that I will get a green pheno. I recently grew a purple CBD, and I have two purple photos finishing up, so I wouldn't mind some green buds. ๐
@Cyrusdavirus, I will be thrilled if mine turns out as nice and quick as yours.
This is a grow experiment to see what I can get out of a tiny tent using a small 95 W light. I'm aiming for 1 g/W, although I suspect I never need to run the light at 100%. I measured the light in the tent, and a DLI of 50 is possible at 70% with a hanging height of 12."
Normally, I prefer higher hanging heights due to improved light spread. However, it doesn't really matter in this case, as the light is almost as big as the tent. No need for additional spread. lol
@love_2_grow, I just finished one of these and it stayed pretty small and finished from seed in 9 weeks... that said Fastbuds said it was going to be a big plant so ๐ค๐ค๐ค good luck with her
@kohlrabi, Yeah, she looks quite healthy. There are a couple of yellow and some burnt tips, so I suspect the soil might be a bit "hot." That said, it's so minor that I don't consider it a problem. I'm also pleasantly surprised that the soil seems free from fungus gnats. It's still a couple of months until harvest but so far so good. ๐ค
