Of the 3 seeds planted after soaking only 2 germinated on day 3. I think the cotyledons on this strain are the darkest green I have ever seen.

Not much to report. Everything unfolding as it should I suppose. Rhizo water at 1/8th strength and 100ml per day for week one. Light at 14" and 25%.

Grow Questions

1kodahstarted grow question a year ago
Variety of opinions in the landscape with regard to watering to run-off when growing in peat or coco and perlite. Of course that makes testing exit EC a challenge. Asking for opinions - are the EC meters that have a probe to read substrate EC/salts any good? Is that the solution?

Feeding. Chemical composition

I don't think you really need a substrate EC pen, the benefit is in controlling the EC going into the medium "feeding solution" and minoring it coming out not checking when its in the medium, so many things will alter that reading from hot spots with different densities to amount of water saturated in its sample. and its best to water with some runoff when using hydro nutrients to prevent salt buildup as it will happen, no feeds perfect. I have seen PH probes for substrates and they can be useful, but more so for fields and larger grows. If your PH is off the bigger issue is fixing it, my last grow has something weird growing in the medium and its PH kept drifting down. I would water with PH 8, and runoff was 5.5 no matter how much PH up i used it would reset to 5.5 and lower, also used HP mix for that one. I do not like only peat, much bigger fan or coir and perlite. You can also make a slurry of the medium and use the other pens to find your mediums EC/PH if your curious. Any times your sticking things into the medium your damaging the roots. and some plants really don't like that, autos being one of them. Soil grows or things grown in earth are a different ball game. Good Luck!

The focus of this round is learning. I fully accept this might end in spectacular disaster but I understand the tent we bought is too small so the focus going forward is on figuring out how to maximize yield. Topping an auto is risky for sure. I specifically chose Blue Dream as it seemed to reliably veg longer than many others. As this is about learning. I topped #1 above the 5th node and # 2 above the 4th on day 22 to see if there are differences in yield at the end. While LST seems a great safer option with autos it creates width which I don't have. Also trying 3 in the space as part of the experiment. Nutes are up to 1/4 strength. Lights at 16" and 35%

Well into stretch now it appears. Plant #1 is certainly taller, stretching at a faster rate and more sativa looking than plant #2. Nutes up to 1/2 strength and water consumption has increased.

Microbial Mass that was ordered finally arrived so have started it at half-strength. Leaves a tad dark under natural light but since we are into stretch hopefully it will settle out. Tent is starting to feel really full but since the growth/learning goal for this grow was to try 3 at a time we will let it play out for now.

It's been a good week for the tent. Both are stretching as they should I suppose. Filling in the available space. Trying Microbials for the first time. Interested to see if they make a difference.

It's been a good week in the tent. Still a newbie so it's a given mistakes will be made but so far at least the gals seem healthy-ish lol. This is an "experiment to learn" grow - trying to see if I an fit 3 at a time in such a small footprint & get them to the finish line, Time will tell & teach.

Been a good week in the tent. Everyone is growing and filling in the available space. Over the past week it has unfolded I need to travel for 5 days - work related. Wasn't planning on that so a bit of a scramble to organize someone to come in and take care of the tent. Fingers crossed for sure.

Back home from being out of town for 5 days with an impromptu tent sitter. Self and spouse sick as dogs = just tested positive for covid. Plants don't look stellar but at least they aren't dead lol.

After being away for 5 days, arriving home with Covid & still sick as dogs the tent is clearly showing signs of not doing very well. Have fed but I am concerned that this close to harvest we may not have enough time to turn things around for them.

Being out of town for a week then sick for a week has definitely left it's mark. They certainly don't look happy but we seem to be too late in the game to do much to turn that around. Disappointed but grateful they are at least still alive.

Been a rough go for these gals. Just trying to get them to the finish line without losing them now. Combination of travel then covid meant they were certainly treated less kindly than they deserved. Every mistake though adds to my learning and for that I am grateful and optimistic.

Was a good cycle with Blue Dream. The had some challenges to absorb, I was out of town for a week then sick for a week upon return. Topped them both on day 22 and harvested day 85 & 93
