Starting into week 3, Grapefruit stem sagged a little bit when I gave some misting on the leaves this morning with tap water @ ~500ml for clovers + seedling. Gorilla Girl XL is going extremely fast on germination and growth, germinated Wed 14/06, Taproot appeared 15-16/06 and planted the morning of 16/06 ~3cm deep and the cotyledon/seed shell is pushing above the soil w/ the little humidity dome helping. :) Day 15-16 Grapefruit is on a tiny little LST/Soft support because she was sagging. GG XL is REALLY strong coming up with a super deep crimson, almost dark red/purple stem at the base and the grapefruit has super red stems already, dare I say (pun intended) as red a grapefruit ;P Considering buying a 1L bottle of Environoc Bio-Dyne 401 for the soil, sprayed some in my container outside and think there might be small traces left when I cleaned it, if that is contributing in a small way to such fast and healthy growth I'm going to get some and starting feeding in small doses. The stem support helped, Day 17 she's back to supporting herself. Seed shell is cracking and falling off the Gorilla Girl XL. Moved the light up a bit further and the fan, seems the plants were under a small bit of light, water and wind stress. Day 21: Grapefruit is beautiful and taking easily into the VERY light LST to get her stem more centered, GG XL is on Day 10, the leaves and cotyledons were stuck to the shell and growing into the seed shell which I very carefully pulled off. Sadly this damaged 1/2 + 1/4 of the one cotyledon and only 1/2 of the other. She has one set of small true leaves and another bright green pair in the middle coming up. Grapefruit is going to be going into the 4th week start tomorrow leaving about a month or so for new growth and flowering to start up.

Grow Questions

Is there anyway I can avoid this besides keeping it wet and pressed down until stronger roots form? I'm worried about the root structure and stress if I have to keep pressing it into the soil...

could try watering little amounts more often. If the whole plug is lifting out it seems like it is getting to dry before you water. Good Luck!

White spots/lesions growing on stem base but not on leaves or anywhere else? This started within the last 1-3 days. The stem "splitting" on the skin was present since it was sagging and bounced back fine. Worried this is mold/infection from soil. Packed more soil onto the top (!)

Looked at the leaves and did some research, either this is just a normal process where the plant tries to grow extra roots or it's mildew. Either way I think I'll dial down from 2 cups of water in the morning to just 1 once the soil has dried out today/tomorrow. Over/underwatering has possibly led to stem sagging + slow growth so next time I'm investing in Autopots or watering less often + small amounts...

Wow the girls are biiig! Good work! I love the pistil hairs! They are gonna be nice, fat and tasty! I'd love to see how the gorilla girl plays out, because i am thinking about growing some β€œsweet seeds"-beans next. πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¦

@delta_420, Haha can relate to the little tracking laziness and the leap of faith for the beginning. But for me it turned out as such a fun and rewarding hobby (and nerve wrecking from time to time), i really love to grow, both as a grower and to grow some tasty buds. 😊 And i love to learn from the other growers here, so thank you very much for sharing! Good luck for a strong finish on this grow! Nothing beats the first smoke of your own homegrown buds!

@Herbie101, thanks! First time I've done a "proper" grow so to speak for med + personal use. Took a very expensive leap of faith but it's paying off. I've been a little bit lazy tracking metrics and temps etc since the battery died in my hygrometer but got it fixed. The GG XL is packing on the pistils and size too, outgrowing the Grapefruit. They both took to my n00b growing mistakes super well, lack of soil and nutes, over/underwatering but bounced back really well. I've started giving them both two extra sets of Acti-Vera and Bio-Bloom for flower and to get rid of the leaf miners but as she gets frosty leaves and the resin packs on pests etc don't survive long :) Out of curiousity, rubbing the leaves has this super sweet fruity smell, gg xl has this amazing earthy, gluey typical gorilla glue smell which is yum. Can't wait for harvest, the leaves on the GG XL are bigger than my hand, it's awesome seeing the indica-leaning pheno! :)
