Hello everyone, this time I combined the soaking method with the paper towel method:
It soaked in a small glass for 24 hours, then rested in a paper towel for 24 hours. The next day, the taproot emerged nicely, and it was already placed in an 11-liter pot. I'll be back soon, stay tuned. ✌️
- Day 3 -
Not much to say yet, on the 3rd day she started to peek up.
- Day 4 -
On Day 4 I removed the plastic bag.
She's a rocket! It's impressive how fast she grows.
- Week Summary -
She got 1dl rainwater 4x this week, and fed her 1x. No complications, everything looks perfect.
We are at the end of week 2. and everything looks perfect.
She got some dried and grounded banana peels on Day 18, and fed her 2x this week with BioBizz nutrients. On other days she got pure rainwater with 6.4 ph. if needed. I think it is better to receive less water than to be overwatered, so the roots will look for water and grow better, and stronger roots, plus less risk to rotten roots.
This is my first growth, so please let me know your opinion. :)
On day 12, I did some LST to bend it, because she was so tall ^^
This week the temp was higher than usual (30-32 Celsius), but she liked it. Fed her 3x this week with the nuts above and, on other days watered with rainwater. Did some LST also.
I really love her genetics, She is not bushy, so she doesn't need to defoliate, she just kept growing and growing. Fed her 3x this week. Changed light schedule to 18 hours.
She didn't want to stretch this week, focus on buds instead. Fair enough. Looks tiny, but the buds are beautiful. I changed the top layer of the soil. Watered every 2nd day with nutrient water.
She has been moved to a larger tent. She's doing really well now, nothing unusual happened this week. She gets about 5 dl of water every three days, and I fed her twice this week
I watered her three times this week with 0,8 liters of rainwater, and on the first occasion, I did also provide it with nutrients. At the beginning of the week the runoff water was perfect around 6,4 ph and 800 ppm. Overall, she's a bit small 31cm, but she seems to be doing well, and I have no complaints.
No feed this week, watered twice with tap water.
The runoff still shows 450 ppm, so I'll let her live one more week. The buds on the bottom also need a few more days.
Learning from my first grow with the Orion F1 strain – a robust plant with strong genetics. Despite beginner mistakes and a suboptimal 32 cm height, I've gained valuable insights. A key tip for beginners: water only when the soil surface is dry(usually 2-3 times a week) and water as much as the plant needed and not how much you want. Water until you get measurable runoff. Regularly check drainage, pH, and ppm. Google can guide you on standard values. Container choice matters; my small one limited growth. Consider air pots or fabric containers for proper drainage and ventilation. Medium selection is crucial too – I overlooked it, leading to nutrient issues. Next time, I'm opting for coco-coir. Growing pains aside, the journey with Orion F1 continues, and there's always room to improve. See you later.
