DK provided some seedlings from a mixed bag of their favourite strains. Some White Widow, Purple Urkle, Purple Sunset possibly in there. Wish they were labelled but we were too eager to start in our first tent so rather went for it. These two photos were of 2 of the plants that were in there first. They were shocked by the change in environment and showed stunted growth later. The other seedlings obtained a 10 days later quickly caught up to these two. Did not take photos of these unfortunately as I had no idea growdiaries could help me monitor and share my grows
Seedlings were transplanted to Coco Pots containing 50 : 50 Perlite and coco coir. Original containers were very wet. Outside temperatures were cold enough (2- 8 degrees C) to hamper the growth of the plants. Once I realized it I installed a heat pad underneath the plants blanketed by the insulation material of the tent.
I also applied some BIOCULT Mycorrhiza ssp, Trichoderma strains. Dissolved half a teaspoon in about 5L an applied to the plants. As the suspension is not stable I added some fine sprinklings to the soil before watering as well.
Switched one generic t8 8w led for a t8 9w grow led.
Plants have responded well to the change.
Will give the plants a few more days before moving them down to the 2nd grow chamber with double the lights.
Will leave the small ones in the current chamber until they recover and catch up.
USB Desktop fan seems to be too directional. WIll adjust so that the airflow is a bit more uniform.
9 Jun the plants lacked some water, topped them up and left them in the sun for an hour while the grow tent was adjusted. After sitting in the sun with ample water, the plants lost all Droopiness but the growth medium was already dried out. Topped up with more water. Moved the best growing plants to the bottom chamber where there are 2x the amount of lights (2x Grow leds 9w, 2 white LEDs 8w).
Will give all the plants a day or two to recover from the dehydration and change in light conditions.
Planning on moving the best grower to test the flowering part of the tent. Will then either 1.) transplant the plants to bigger containers or 2.) top and LST the plants in the bottom right, vegetative section. 3.) Transplant half and top and LST the other half. Because I am working with a lucky packet of seeds this won't definitely prove which route was better.
For the slower growing plants left in the clone area, I hope that the extra time will help them establish stronger roots.
Looking at different Drip irrigation options for 5 days that they will be left unattended. Want to test the drip irrigation while I am here before leaving it over to fate.
