After paper towel soak, seed had a one inch root. Planted in a small pot of seed starter soil. Sprouted after 2 das and had at least four leafs at the end of the week with new ones adding. This plant took off from the beginning.
Root was one inch long when going into 5 gallon smart bag with Foxfarm Ocean. By end of week, it had grown 5 leaves and two new little leaves were forming. I think I may have given to much water as the leaves were bending down vs. up straight. However they all look strong and healthy! Wish all my seedlings followed this pattern. About as easy as it gets for a first timer.
Week three was a bit rough. My heat was high and humidity dropped due to season change locally. Had to purchase a digital humidifier to make up for some of the loss of air moisture. A few of the leaf edges began to turn upwards. But the plant seems healthy and has added quite a few more leaves. Doesn't seem to be getting taller, but thicker. I raised the light from 14 inches to 24 inches to take some of the stress off the plant Being a first grow, it's hard to know if what i'm doing is right or wrong, so hopefully the plant continues to flourish. Watered once in middle of week as the previous was at the end of last week and they will get another tomorrow afternoon. Another issue still learning....watering.
Grew 2 inches this week...inch per day. I defoliated some of the bigger fan leaves as they were shading to many of the flowers. Took about 6 leaves off yesterday. See what difference it makes this next week. Light was reaching the fan leaves more than the flowers. Better now. This plant is known to stay small if you keep your light close and have plenty of it. But should pack on some good cbd, as it is looking so far.
Not sure what is going on with this plant as far as height. Grew one inch this week.
Packing on the flower, but very short plant considering the recommended heights.
Stopped nutes in middle of week. Should have 10-12 days left on this one but maybe less. Few trichs beginning to amber. Doing water only for the rest of the grow. Looking like i'll bet about an ounce out of this plant unless it does something drastic. Far shorter and far less than seed provider suggested. But it was my first grow so may be a little bit my fault.
Im guessing this will be the last week. Lot of trichomes and according to schedule, coming up on day 75 soon. Pretty good flower packed on a few of the branches.
Favorite strain to grow so far. Jumps out of its seed shell, resistant to disease for new growers, and packs on sugar coated flowers. All three seeds germinated and planted with no issues. The outcome is a energetic and focused feeling followed by a healthy and happy outlook on the day thanks to the cbd. Not one bad seed out of 3. Highly recommend any Dinafem seed, especially for cbd purposes.
@SPICOLIS_VAN when the tips of your leaves turn up like that on top of plant, that is temperature stress which is from too much heat from lights or not enough air circulation. I had this on my first grow like mad. Try to turn up your exhaust a bit if you can, make sure there is a fan blowing gently over the top of plants and possibly raise light fixture or drop the lighting down to 20/4 schedule. Good luck with your grow.
@SPICOLIS_VAN, well these auto seed are a mix of different plants so some may take on the characteristics of one of those, and another plant might take on other characteristics. Think of it like a plant has 3 parents (it's usually a lot
more than that I think with all the cross breeding going on, but 3 is a good number).
@BeefWellingtons, Yeah raised light as high as I could go. Its pretty healthy but some of the fan leaves had some problems. First grow so learning as I go. Pretty happy with the plant overall. Another guys diary had his plant at 37 inches. Mine stuck at 19 inches. Maybe bad seed dna. Rest of plants are 36 inches. This is only cbd...short but packing it on pretty good.
@spicolis_van nice grow brother. I just attempted my first indoor with CBD autos and they are bushes in 7 short weeks. In flush mode now looking to harvest Thanksgiving weekend with the little extra time away from work. Check out my diary if interested in topping autos. People say its a no go, but my results clearly speak for themselves. Happy Growing brother 👌👽
@Bostongeorge, Yeah being a first timer, trying to just get a stock built so I can take care of my diabetes. May try topping down the road, but not a lot of good info on how to do it with autos. Most say dont do it and leave it at that. Need to find info on how to do it properly. Following yours.
