11/7 started germinating at 10am with paper towel and plastic bag method in front of the space heater, kept them at 82-84F, 6.5ph water.
11/8 waited for 1/2 inch taproot, checked at 9pm and they were all good to go. Planted 1/2" deep in 5 gallon pots. Filled watering bases with 6.0 ph water. Light 24/0, 20% 36" 150ppfd 12-15 DLI.
11/10 5am nothing popped above soil yet, will check again when I get off work. Filled auto bases with 6.0 dechlorinated tap. Using roots organic origional mix, I heard it's around 80% coco so I'll continue to ph on the lower end. 730pm, 2 popped above soil.
11/11 day 1, 6am all popped above soil, back right still needs to open the cotyledons yet. Added 6.0 ph water to bases. Leaving humidity domes on for a few days.
11/12 Day 2, misted around the plants with 6.0 ph water.
11/13 day 3, added 6.0 to bases and misted.
11/14 4, misted.
11/15 5, back right might be a trileaf. The leaves are growing weird on it like the trileaf on the last run. Misted the domes. Watered 8oz of recharge.
11/16 6, misted the domes.
11/17 7, misted the domes. Added 6.0 ph water to bases.
11/18 8, Took humidity domes off. Back right is significantly smaller than the others. It's the one where the taproot grew back into the seed during germination. Light still set to 20% @ 36" 24/0.
11/19 9, noticed green moss starting to grow on topsoil. Not sure if that's a good thing. Calibrated ph pen, it was .3 off.
11/20 10, misted topsoil. Filled bases with 6.0. Auto bases may be watering too much at this stage. Next run I'll probably wait a little while before I start using them.
11/21 11, added 6.0 water to bases.
11/22 12, top dressed 3 tbsp all purpose and 1 tbsp power bloom, watered 16oz recharge all plants. All of the plants are sitting around 18-19 DLI. Light still 20%.
11/23 13, might adjust light higher, the node spacing is pretty tight. Still 20% power.
11/24 14, watered bases with 6.0. Misted topsoil. Didn't adjust light.
11/25 15, misted topsoil. Watered 6.0 in bases. Back right is stunted because it's taproot grew back into the seed during germination. Just going to let it ride.
11/26 16, misted topsoil.
11/27 17, misted topsoil. Watered bases 6.0ph.
11/28 18, misted topsoil.
11/29 19, misted topsoil. Watered 16oz recharge. Started LST after the pic was taken.
11/30 20, misted topsoil. Watered bases 6.0ph.
12/1 21, misted topsoil. Watered bases. Set light to 30% same height. 25-26 DLI on all plants. Doing LST and leaf tucking every day.
12/2 22, misted topsoil, watered bases 6.0 ph. Tucked some leaves that were blocking bud sites. Switched the light from 20% to 30% yesterday, noticed some outside edges of leaves started turning dark green after 12 hours. They are fine today and have adjusted to the light.
12/3 23, misted topsoil. Watered bases. Noticed all fabric pots have spots where roots are peaking out around the bottom edges. Did a bunch of LST to get light to bottom nodes.
12/4 24, misted topsoil. New 8x4 tent is supposed to show up on 12/8, cleared out a spot for it last night. Going to move the light higher after work, growth may have slowed a little bit since going 30%.
Didn't adjust light, growth still looking good. DLI 28.3-28.8. Watered 1gal 32oz to bases.
12/5 25, misted topsoil. Watered bases. Adjusted LST wires. 12 hours after picture, every plant is pre-flowering. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, my last grow pre-flowered on day 25 too with smaller pots. I even topped on like day 13 of my last grow. Maybe 24/0 light schedule is making them flower early? It could just be a coincidence.
12/6 26, misted topsoil. Watering bases twice a day now. Watered 16oz recharge.
12/7 27, going to stop misting topsoil so the fungus gnats go away. Watered bases. Light still 30%, 31-33 DLI on the 3 big plants. 26 DLI on stunted back right plant.
12/8 28, letting bases get low on water. 8x4 tent showing up today.
12/9 day 29, filled bases. Switched tent to 8x4 for rotating harvests. Setup the net last night. Light still 30% 30DLI. Will probably switch light to 40% tonight or tomorrow and raise it a little going up to 40DLI this week.
12/10 day 30, filled bases. Set light to 40%, raised up to 28", 33-35 DLI. Might have to supercrop them. The main top is hard to bend back under the net but it's working for now.
12/11 day 31, filled bases. Tucked tops. Removed a few lower leaves that weren't getting light.
12/12 day 32, filled bases.
12/13 day 33, filled bases. Top dressed gaia green, 4tbsp power bloom, 2tbsp all purpose. Tucked tops. Watered 16oz recharge. I only used 2/2 tbsp on the back right since it's stunted.
12/14 day 34, filled bases. Tucked tops.
12/15 day 35, filled bases. Tucked tops. Increased light to 50% 40-45DLI same height. The main cola stems are too stiff to tuck now, I tried on the front left plant and heard a snap. The stem still seems fine, not sure where the noise came from.
12/16 day 36, watered bases. Going through 4-5 gallons of water a day. I have been watering the bases every 12 hours. Light still 50% 43-46 DLI.
12/17 day 37, watered bases. Defoliated leaves blocking bud sites and the underside of the canopy for better airflow.
12/18 day 38, watered bases.
12/19 day 39, watered bases. Wired tops down to the net to even out canopy. Removed a few more leaves blocking bud sites. Noticed some yellowing on leaf tips, calibrated ph pen and raised light another inch.
12/20 day 40, watered bases. Watered 16oz recharge. Defoliated leaves blocking bud sites.
12/21 day 41, watered bases.
12/22 day 42, watered bases.
12/23 day 43, watered bases. Light still 50%, raised it up more, DLI 41-45.
12/24 day 44, watered bases.
12/25 day 45, went hard on defoliation.
12/26 day 46, watered bases.
12/27 day 47, watered bases. Watered 16oz recharge. Ever since I top dressed organic nutrients on day 39 the leaves have been going downhill. I may have overfed and there's too much salt buildup. Ill be doing a half flush after work.
Decided to just let it ride.
12/28 day 48, watered bases.
12/29 day 49, watered bases.
1/13 day 64, watered bases. Added trichome pictures.
1/14 day 65, watered bases.
1/15 day 66, watered bases.
1/16 day 67, watered bases.
1/17 day 68, watered bases.
1/18 day 69, watered bases. Set light power down to 50% to finish out.
1/19 day 70, watered bases.
1/20 day 71, watered bases. Might be harvesting at the end of the week.
1/21 day 72, watered bases.
1/22 day 73, watered bases.
1/23 day 74, watered bases.
1/24 day 75, watered bases. Will take trichome pictures after work. Planning on harvesting Friday.
1/25 day 76, watered bases.
1/26 day 77, no water. Harvest day after work.
Ended up harvesting on day 77 from seed. Did a full wet trim on one plant and it took 7 hours. The others I just trimmed fan leaves off and will get the sugar leaves after dry. Currently sitting in the dry tent at 64F and 60% humidity.
@Golden, thank you, my next ones after this are purple lemonade, wedding cheesecake, gorilla cookies, and banana purple punch. The wife picked this one and I'm down with it.
@Dana488, I start on day 5, using 16oz per plant once a week. I think my dosage may be off in the diary, I'll change it. I've been doing 1/2 tsp per 1/2 gallon every Wednesday.
I fed these ones super early on day 5 with dry nutrients and they didn't burn. Day 39 I went super hard and used a full recommended dose and they showed leaf burn ever since.
They can take more DLI in late flower than recommended too without any extra leaf burn. I think im sitting at 62 or 68 DLI since day 59 when only 45 is recommended for autos in late flower without co2.
I checked trichomes yesterday and there's 0 amber so it's looking like 70-77 days minimum. I just wish I would have increased my light power sooner since they aren't as dense as I want them to be right now.
So far no setbacks and the trichome terps smell insane.
