11/10/23 Soaked for about 26 hours in a glass of water. A small green seedling was already coming out of the seed when planted. Soil composition was about 50% FFOF, 30% generic soil for seedlings, and 20% perlite. I made a small pocket for the seed with only the generic soil. I plan to put much more effort into checking ph levels, temperature, and humidity this time around. Also will be looking at VDP. Hopefully the seedling gets started strong. Fingers crossed!

11/17/23 First week went very well! The seedling popped above ground about 48 hours after planting. There is not nearly as much stretching as my last plant which is great. The stem seems much thicker and the plant is sturdier overall. I’ve kept the light at 50% and have been acting to consistently keep the temperature around 70° and the humidity around 72%. Watering about 300-500ml around in a circle each day. Excited for the grow to come!

11/24/23: Much of the same this week. Light still at 50%, keeping humidity and temp around 70. Watering as needed. Will probably start LST this upcoming week.

Combined week 3 and 4 because life got busy. Introduced LST and she started to take off. Still waiting on nutrients, she seems to be very happy. Watering intermittently and trying to LST as more nodes form

She exploded this week! The LST helped a lot and made her extra bushy. I’m assuming she’ll start flowering soon. Still holding off on nutrients for a bit, she seems to be doing great without them. Might do some defoliation next week when flowering starts.

11/23/23: She absolutely exploded into flowering this week! She stretched a bit and the pistils are looking beautiful and healthy. There are quite a few grow sites on this bushy plant. I’ve taken a pretty hands off approach on this one and she’s doing just fine. Some leaves are starting to show some calcium deficiency so I began adding cal mag. I turned the light intensity up a bit and have been trying to keep humidity around 60% even though the ambient humidity where I live is off the charts right now. Watering every three days or so to saturation. Excited to see how she does in flowering! Hoping for some fat gorilla nugs.

12/29/23: Going strong into flowering. Some bottom leaves started to yellow and wither but I think it’s because I waited quite a while to start adding nutes. Taking a more hands off approach, I wanted the nutes in the super soil to provide as much nutrient as possible before adding liquid nutes. After I added the Fox Farms trio with cal mag she seemed to get healthier and happier. I trimmed some of the dying leaves at the bottom and increased light intensity. Temps are coming in around 75-80 degrees. Hoping for continued fat gorilla nug growth

The temp is low. Could you pull the lamp down some more?
Happyduck
Happyduckcommenteda year ago
I sadly can’t pull it down any lower. I think it’s just a byproduct of having a weaker lamp. :( I turned up the intensity and I’m keeping her around 70-75 degrees throughout the day. Taking the humidity into account too, I try to keep her in the VPD sweet spot for flowering plants.
