Seeds popped really fast, I was torn on planting direct or paper towel method, but went with the paper towel so I could see the progress. Planted the next evening after tap roots emerged in a super soil pot. 5 gallon fabric pot with the bottom third a mix of FF Happy Frog and Nature’s Living Soils Autoflower concentrate ant the top 2/3 just FFHF.
Not really vegetative stage yet, but I want to keep up with weekly updates. Little cute seedlings right now, hopefully building strong roots for some future explosive growth!
In full vegetation mode now, increased temp and humidity, had to add a humidifier as I couldn’t keep it above 50RH with the amount of airflow. Increased light intensity to 60% at 18 inches over the week and will be increasing to 80 at 18 inches over the next 2 days.
Planning on keeping nutrient free and just relying on the living soil/ happy frog combo unless I see signs of a deficiency. Also plan to start LST as soon as the 3rd leaf pair is fully formed.
Week three is coming on strong, I kept conditions the same but started LST to get multiple tops moving and the girls are really responding to it, the Easybud strain easily has 4 potential tops showing with only one tie down. The Mimosa is a little shorter so hasn’t been in LST as long. I think I should have had the light higher earlier as they are both bushy but short.
These girls look super bushy and squat, none of the height I see elsewhere. I kept the light at 8” above for seedling, was that to low or should I just chill and the height will come?
Si quieres que se estiren un poco más solo levanta tu panel unos centímetros. Pero no veo nada malo en su altura. Puede que sus hojas estén muy verdes, puedes bajar la dosis de nitrógeno o solo regar con agua por unos días, para no tener problemas de sobrefertilizacion.
I ramped up light and temp just a bit this week. Watering now a liter every three days, just reverse osmosis water. No nutes yet, just the super soil and the girls are looking good. LST continues and I moved the light up to 24 inches from 18 to see if I can get it to stretch a bit more.
Lots of growth this week, stretched over 7 inches in a week and we are in full on flower. I’ve moved to 24 hours of light and a half gallon of water every 3 days. Still no nutrients, just the super soil mix. I don’t see any deficiencies so I’m trying to see if the super soil is going to work all the way through.
Buds are really starting to form this week. As mentioned last week I did a bit of light defoliation to open up the canopy last Monday. On Thursday I started to notice some browning of the leaves, likely a calcium deficiency. So I gave up on no nutrients and started some Buddha grow and cal mag in the watering on Sunday. We’ll see how this goes but hopefully this will help reverse the damage.
Well started out this week recovering from a magnesium or nitrogen deficiency, really come in last Thursday, and I had already fed nutrients ( for the first time this grow) so I am just waiting for it to help, which it started to get better just yesterday. Bud’s are swelling though, and trichromes forming nicely. Fingers crossed they keep getting better over the next 3-4 weeks!
Girls continue to yellow despite starting amendments, but I think I know what I did wrong. I think the soil was used up in 5 weeks and combined with low watering it created a deficiency that is still showing up. That combined with too much training without giving them a break. New growth is all green, and the buds are getting sticky and frosted. End result is I’m going to baby it through harvest and then try again! Smells are amazing, and on the easy bud one of the buds is a good 6” long and 1.5 inch thick.
Well figured out I was way under watering these girls. First grow, you’ve gotta make at least one mistake! I’m now watering more volume but same every third day frequency. Buds are really developing but likely not much longer. Trichromes are cloudy but I want just a couple amber before I harvest.
Waiting game continues, the trichromes are frosty, no amber yet except in a few sugar leaves. Buds keep growing, especially on the Mimosa plant, I think they have likely doubled in thickness in the last week or so. Just waiting to harvest when the trichromes start to amber up.
I’ll do one more entry after trim, but overall super excited with this grow. The equipment all worked flawlessly, the strains survived my stupidity and the smell is amazing!
