This was the last week of the 18 hour day cycle.
Next week I will switch to flowering and look out for them to show their sex, after which I will eliminate the males and hopefully I will be left with at least four female plants.
During the past week the plants have rooted properly and started to grow,
they did a steady 10cm during 7 days.
I noticed chlorosis on 3 of the plants.
As a natural first reaction I studied the plants for signs of aphids but found none. Just a few thirps but I used woma soil clean and have not seen any since.
Looking at all the plants I checked the EC of the run off water (usually I don't check the EC, only the Ph) and to my surprise it was quite high. Due to the fact that I only used Ph'ed water I can suspect that the problem is with the BAC Lava Soil. As it has let me down for the second time in a row I decided to switch to Canna Terra Professional for the re-potting of this strain.
The new leaves on those plants seem more healthy after a small flush.
Hope things go well.
I never have tried to hold water back for root growth, but
I think you have a good idea with your process.
Good luck with your grow and I look forward to
watching your 'girls' mature.................
@coolnout, Thank you for the good wishes 😀 The idea with the water is to find a balance at the start of the grow. The plants are small and don't need much water, plus with the BAC Lava Soil i notice it takes a long time to dry at the bottom of the pot, so If I don't give them too much water at the start the roots develop a little faster.
@D33jW, Thank You Bro👊 I must say that (as always) I hade to make sure that the temp was a stable 23 degrees and that the RH didn't go above 85%, but I am also happy with the germinantion rate and tempo😁
