Day 15:
She was transplanted from a 0.125 gallon plastic cup to a 0.7 gallon planter.
Day 16:
She got tap water today. After watering, I accidentally knocked her off of my shelf and onto the floor! It's a very good thing she just got watered and the soil was saturated, else the loose soil and her roots would have went everywhere. Luckily, only a small clump from the corner came out, and her main stem got a little bruised, but she'll survive. Photos for today were taken 6 hours after watering.
I added supplementary lighting in the form of another 3ft LED light, this one 32W 4000K. PPFD readings look good for the current DLI threshold. This should come in handy later to promote the growth below the main canopy. If I can, might eventually add a third light.
Day 17:
She's enjoying the extra sunshine today.
Day 19:
She has outgrown her temporary 0.7gal pot already, as I see a glimpse of white that found its way to a drainage hole. Unfortunately, it will have to wait until tomorrow. I was hoping this pot would hold me until the weekend when I can get out to buy some larger pots, as my others are in use.
She got tap water today.
Day 20:
I transplanted her to a 4-gallon pot. I don't intend on letting her get any bigger than this, so this is her final home.
She got tap water today.
Hmm, pinging @LegacyMarketFarm ...he is a pro and taught me a lot so far. If anyone would know what is going on with this plant it's him, because I'm pulling my hair out here everytime I pull these seedlings out by the dozen.
@@@@@resimax, I have only seen this once before and not as extreme. With @1Right_Angle I believe in one of his recent diaries he also dealt with this issue. We are dealing with a death in the family right now so my focus / attention is somewhat lacking on this end of things right now. Family first, Or else I would take the time to try and research this for you. Contact 1Right.
I see 0 seed husks as they break the surface of the soil. This is a indicator of something else potentially going on here, With that many coming up. We should see at least a few husks if this was from mistaken seeds or old soil. Is this an autoflower ? I do know / have seen ruderalis growing in its natural habitat that sprouts multiple plants from 1 original source plant. But I am unsure if that is a mutation within ruderalis or if it is something it does naturally being more of a " Ditch " type weed.
I will have to devote some more time to attempt to educate myself on this when I am more free.
@@resimax, thanks bro, appreciate the kind words. You'll get everything dialed in pretty quickly with the indoor grow and environment, I'll be following along for sure 😎
@Sour_D, Thanks for the encouragement. Got a lot of that yesterday after being instructed on how to identify my males confidently, and got rid of a bunch of them before the flower switch, and 2 that slipped into the flower tent because they were vegging under CFL and was hard to tell, but well before any clusters formed, not to mention rupture.
I really needed these words of encouragement. Trying to dial in with a new environment, equipment, and strains is a process in itself. I'm not all that new to growing, but with my own setup and for indoor I am. I was getting frustrated with my setup, mostly due to the limited funds and space, so I have just 1 tent I can veg OR flower in (or I guess both for autos), and only 1-3 of them at a time, depending on size.
Thank you for following and helping out! I found your diaries to be some of the best that I've seen on this site, and the detailed log of everything is a treat to read. 😀
Day 15: I was literally about to write "please transplant" but then I read day 15! She will outgrow that 0.7g pot in a week or less, be prepared for another transplant soon. :D
@NegotiatedBubble, thanks for the kind words.
The plan is to veg her as long as I can before she starts to get too big for adequate lighting requirements (I'm working with less than 2W per foot with these cool white tubes). I'm also not giving her nutes because I don't want her to grow vigorously. It's quite likely she'll already outgrow the pot she's in by the end of the week. But, life keeps going on, even if it is a bit difficult sometimes. Even if she does get too big, she's staying like this until I have free tent space, which is looking to be about 4-6 weeks from now. Should be an interesting project, anyway.
There is no straight answer to this question... other than WTF... I had several pots in a row, when extra seeds would Germ... Go figure was the final shrug.
Thanks Andrew, wish I could have helped more...
