Seeds were germinated by dropping them in a cup of water with a few ml of hydrogen peroxide. 12 hrs later placed them between two pieces of dishwashing sponge watered with same water from a cup.
Forgot to take a pic of germinated seeds :(
2 girls were placed at 2.5l pots (former ice cream containers) and 1 at 5l pot bought at grocery market. Regular soil
for flowers with PH from 5.5 to 6.5 been bought at the same market.
Plants are getting about 6-8 hours of direct sunbathing, feed them with regular tap water and frequent raining also help with that. No mineral fertilizers are used.
Day 7 - Biggest girl got curved to a horizontal position because of a heavy rain, fixed with toothpicks. Applied the same method for second one who's started to curve too. It's not the time for LST yet, lol.
Day 8 - began to place girls under 2 led bulbs mounted into kitchen furniture, good solution for those who grow on a balcony and haven't got their hands on a grow tent yet. From now on they get about 13-20hrs of light per day in total (about 7 hrs of sunlight + 6-13hrs of led light).
Day 10 - Set 'em a bit higher, later this day set em to 10-15cm from plant to light.
Day 17 - One of the girls already 15cm high! Pretty good results, considering "environmental conditions" that they go throw this grow. So proud of her.
Two others are about 10cm.
Planning to start LST few days later, stopped watering plants for that reason - stem needs to be dry and strong, so it won't break.
I think two days without water will be enough.
Plants started to smell, so i gotta build a growbox with air filter.
Day 18 - started to LST.
D19 - spotted a spider mint, began treatment with soapy water
D22 - Another plant has got those assholes too :(
Hope cold soapy water will stop em
Cut of one of the leaves while adjusting rubber bands by accident, dried it in oven at 50C. It hits pretty strong for a leaf from such a young lady, i tell ya!
