I used the paper towel method, kept moist with normal water. In 3 days all seeds germinated and got popped into little plastic pots with pure coco.
They were kept at 28c°and 75%Rh
The light was 39 inch from the pots and running at minimum intensity.
- Day 2 i got 7 out of 8 sprouts , unfortunately though they had stretched. After reading online it looks as though some growers aim for some stretching so they can re-pot them deeper and gain more root shoots from the stems that are buried, so I'll do that and see what happens.
- Day 3 and the last plant sprouted, I raised the light intensity to 25% and lowered it to 26 inch from canopy.
- Day 4 and plants had stopped stretching, turned light intensity to 50% to see if they could handle it.
- Day 5 and 2 plants had fallen over due to the stretch so isuppoerted all the plants.
- Day 6 I had to turn down the light to 30% or so, the leaves also had a little mottling on them but didn't look like any nute toxicity/deficiency, just a little discolouration from what I could make of it.
I also turned the heat down to 25c°.
- Day 7 and plants look a little better, although the leaves have started to ever so slightly canoe so I turned the light to 25% and turned the heat down to 23c°.
- Day 1 of veg, added a small fan to the room and numbered all plants to keep track of things.
- Day 2, I noticed no.5 was the biggest of them all, no.4 was really mottled and looked crumpled up for some reason, couldn't figure it out as the others looked okay to me.
I watered them at 388ppm and 6.3ph to slowly build up to a larger dose of nutes.
- Day 4, no.5 is now fairly bigger than the rest, although all plants look healthy except for no.4 which still looks battered. I thought it could be heat or light stress but I didn't do anything as the others seemed happy with the environment now.
- Day 5, I watered again at 316ppm and pH 6.22, it was left over from the other mix and had adjusted a little.
No.4 looks horrific, but somehow still spears to be somewhat healthy? I dont know what to think, at this point I'm thinking it could be a genetic defect.
- Day 6, all plants look healthy and are averaging out In size except for no.5 which is still bigger than the rest.
Turned the light up to around 30-35%.
- Day 7 watered at 400ppm and 6.06ph, plants are starting to bush out rather than grow tall.
Day 8, watered at 400ppm and 6.06ph.
Day 10, watered again at 493ppm and 6.22ph, transplanted all plants into 3.8litre fabric pots, I used great white for the roots and added some diametacious earth on top of the coco to keep pests in check.
Day 11, temps dropped rapidly overnight due to turning off a tube heater, the temps started to rise a little above where I wanted to them prior to this so I decided one tube heater would be sufficient but obviously not. The temps dropped to 10-13c° so I had to put the heater back on.
No.6 + 4 looked fine but the rest had droopy leaves.
I put a vortex oscillating wall fan on the wall to keep air moving better than the little fan I had, I took the little fan down as it was unnecessary.
Day 12, temps have started to rise again and plants are recovering very well.
Day 13, watered at 493ppm and 6.06ph, plants look good as new again.
Day 14, all look healthy and really started to Bush out, no.8 looks the best plant.
Hi, back again 😂 so the canooing has stopped on some plants but still present in some. I've also noticed the leaves to look a little off, is this the start of something I need to fix? They look pretty healthy other than that. The photos are of different plants. Thanks in advance
You are overthinking it. Just let them ride. Make sure your ph is right and aren’t over feeding and they will tell you when there is a real issue but I don’t see anything I’d personally be concerned with
