First time grow, germinated in rapid rooter. Only one seed germinated though. i put in another seed so i can have two.
i attemted to germinate other seeds. 4 seeds didnt germinate.
i got alittle impatient, and moved the seedlings to the forever home. the light on the seedling container was ok, but it was not enough. i moved them to the tent with the grow light.
400 w LED hanging at 20" running at 60%, 18/6 light schedule.
2 five gal pots with the above Nutes.
Just follow a wet dry cycle and in soil the first few weeks you just need to cycle watering. Nutrition comes Into play in 2-4 week range depending on how pre loaded the soil is.
I added a thin layer of pebble sided polished rocks to the top of the pot. the pot seems to dry out quickly on top.
the two plants are 3 days apart. i planted 2 to start but only got one to germ. so i put another seed in its place. so its a few days behind.
Only using water at this point. the pot has bat guano in it. Not alot of water. just to keep it wet.
question.... i added rocks to the top of the pots. Am i ok with th is? i want to keep the water from evaporating too much. my only concern is that it might harbor mold. question 2: how often should i move my llight up? its 400w @ 60% at 20" Should i move it all the way up?
Adding rocks to the top of pots to reduce water evaporation is a common practice and generally okay. However, you're correct that it can potentially create a moist environment that might harbor mold. To prevent this, make sure the rocks are clean and allow the soil surface to dry between waterings. Good ventilation and proper watering can help mitigate mold growth
400W light at 60% intensity should be okay at 20 inches, but it's essential to monitor your plants' response. If they start showing signs of stress like leaf burn or stretching towards the light, you may need to raise or lower the light accordingly. The goal is to maintain the optimal light intensity for your plants without causing any harm.
Started the new week with the first feeding. leaves were turning bright green at the tips. it was mentioned its time to feed. Mixed up with 1 gal of distilled water. plants are really taking off now. light is at 36 inches at 80%
update 1 watered and fed
day 25 i started using Foop Mist on the canopy. it says its safe for every day, i am spraying every 2 days to start
they are starting to come around. i have multiple colas forming.
i did a dunk watering this time. using distilled water, my runoff was 6.3
the pictures are before the dunk. i am waiting to see how it affects it.
update
worked awesome. lots of Cola's!!
update,
day 32 did sopme defoliating. looking a bit less clustered
new week!!!
Things are growning great! today i did a dunk watering and feed. then did some defoliation. there are alot of cola's forming. i ahve good color, and love the smell coming out now. hard to contain.
update
Out of nowhere, the 3 day younger plant 2 grew 5 inches in a day and is now bigger then plant 1 at 45 days. a I will Top feed today.
look at the tricome production on the cola!!!
starting week 8
i am at 49 days and things are looking ok.
Its kind of interesting that the younger plant has boomed to 27 inches, while the older (3 days) is still at 17 inches.
the smaller plant has better colas then the younger plant as well.
anyone know why?
had them out for a dunk flush. the dunk does ok, but i found i still have to top water to complete the flush
the fat banana is producing some fat Colas. the other one has a bunch of small buds.
had to put up the net. had to kinda LST the tall one to keep it from growing into the light.
needed to add a second fan. walked into the room to a strong mold smell. not so bad now. hope it deosn't turn into bud rot
started flushing on sunday,then flushed again on tuesday. this is coming togather nicely. huge buds on the small plant. Lots of buds on the biger plant. it can no longer stand on its own and must be tied up.
I am gonna chop on sunday!!
