First update since germination. Pics were taken the end of day 14 from sprout. Definitely a couple of mutations going on here, the most notable being 1 plant(front left) decided to top itself.😂 Other mutations I've noticed haven't had very much impact. Some duckfoot and half duckfoot mutations and some middle leaf blades missing their tip on the 3 finger leaf sets. Besides the mutations most of them seem to be growing quite nicely at a fast pace. Some mag deficiencies but that is to be expected when pushing them so hard with CO2 and high light intensity. They are currently at around 500-600ppfd @ 20 hours light schedule. One of the plants(front middle) seems to have been stunted by hitting hot soil too quickly. The back left plant is the runt of the group as it was the last to germinate, however; it seems to be growing correctly just at a slower rate. The front right plant is definitely the largest and has some gigantic fan leaves for its age. These might be some of the biggest fan leaves I've ever had on a 14 day old plant. In the next few days I will be starting LST.
@Medicrexcellence, Thank you very much for looking and commenting! Best of luck on your grow when you decide to pop these babies, I don't think you'll be disappointed! 🙏 👍
@Legibly1200, Thanks for commenting! The tallest center cola was only 8 inches from the light and was sitting at nearly 1400ppfd with the low corners at 900. I could tell it was definitely light stress as only the colas in the center hotspot were showing symptoms. I raised the light back to 18 inches and reduced the overall par to 800-1200 and they seem to be doing better. Keep in mind I'm running CO2 or these numbers would have completely destroyed my plants. Without CO2 I'd recommend staying between 600-800 ppfd. This is also my first time doing 20/4 hours light schedule which is definitely raising my DLI. When you say you have light burn on tips, that can also be from slightly too much nutrients or even the roots hitting a dry spot in the media. Light burn will encompass the whole leaf edge/margins before completely frying the entire leaf. You might just have some tip burn which isn't usually related to light intensity.
Looking good, saw another dude growing these and it looks like he has the humidity of the Sahara. It
was hard to tell if he had a weed plant or some spinach/raisin hybrid at week 2.
