Moved them into Rapid Rooter starter plugs then into the nursery they go... I also have a watermelon test plant in there lol
Disappointed in the Cheese 33% germination rate
8/19 - Looking really good in the nursery. In about a week they'll be moved into the 5 gal fabric pots filled with more of my amazing soil mix lol. I'm pretty confident after my first "organic grow" attempt in the spring. In reality the first half was synthetic and the second half was organic so yeah it was a learning experience! And all of this still is...! Also you can see 2 more late bloomers (Amnesia)
8/24 - Moved out of the nursery and into 5 gal pots - and to LED lights. Light is 8 inches away at 30%. Looking good. A lot of leaves "are flat" which I understand to mean they are very happy.
8/31 - LST 1+2 (GMO's) because they are displaying signs of pre-flower tendencies. One not in this diary (Carmella) is 14" tall with the avg of the others being 8". All looking good and the Cheese is happy! Trimmed the bottom node on all. Had 5 and now has 4 formed + the new tops...
9/7 - the GMO's are flowering and the 1 (1 out of 3 germinated) Cheese is in pre-flower. These are short it appears. The watermelon, for those interested, is doing amazing and I have 2 flowers at the moment. This garden is just under 4 weeks old and doing great! Very healthy. Perhaps a little blueing on one ladys leaves and a slight apperaance of purple in a couple stems lead me to believe a phosphorus deficiency. Just fed with DTE All Purpose 4-6-2 and will use a small amount of Humboldts Secret Flower Stacker (0-7-5) the next few waterings. I have a little left in the bottle, have always liked it, and now is the time to use it. I might get more if I don't find a better alternative for organic. I have Sulfate of Potash maybe I should use that... dunno but I'm gonna finish off the Stacker!
9/21 - Hope i don't jinx myself. This entire grow so far (6 weeks) zero signs of problems. With the last watering I gave them a small taste of DTE LF+K (above) as a treat. This stuff is amazing!!! BUT BUT BUT - be aware that it massively lowers pH. So - pour it into your clean water and then pH. Forgetting about this is a mistake Ive made a couple times so be aware. Less is more of this stuff as well I think. I was using it at about 1/4 dose and had to pH UP to get back to 6.5. Started with 4 gallons clean 7.8 water and ended up with 6.2 😬. Plants love this stuff but use it sparingly! I think you will be surprised how much it lowers the pH. Anyway things going well so far
