Day 19 - Gals are vibing in the tent and coming along nicely. All 3 working on the 4th node now. All 3 blumats were going when I checked on them this evening, which means theyre starting to drink more aggressively. They should be tall enough to start LST this week I hope.
Day 20 - Another day, another bit of growth for the 3 ladies. Top water is tomorrow, as the blumats are running and the soil is drying out a bit.
Day 21 - Gals got a top water tonight. Each pot got 1.5-2 quarts of 6.3ph water, producing a touch of runoff on each pot. Took some of the very top layer of soil off on Gal 3, it was starting to grow a little bit of algae on the surface. Other than that, they look happy and healthy to me.
Day 22 - Gals got another water at a friend's suggestion, another 2 quarts/pot of 6.3ph water, my soil wasn't fully saturated from the previous nights water.
Day 23 - Gals look much happier now that they've been properly watered, should be able to start LST tomorrow.
Day 24 - Decided to wait a few more days on LST to let the plants get a little taller. Checked the tent and made sure the girls were doing well.
Day 25 - Did a quick check on the girls to make sure everything was copacetic.
Day 26 - Girls got a top watering and a foliar feed in preparation for LST now that they've put some more height on.
Gold leaf #1 has developed a white substance on one of its seed leaves. Can anyone tell me what this is, and if I need to do anything to combat it it necessary? Going to let the Gold Leaf dry a little bit (no water) over the next 24 hours and see if that helps.
if that is a peat plug or anything like it, it is void of nutrients and plants need them to grow.
It also looks to wet and waterlogged that's not good for the baby roots.
Double check you feed concentrations and watering habits. less is more in terms of water in seedlings and a week feed should be good for mediums void of nutrients.
Best Of Luck!
For people who use Blumat systems, what's the procedure for mixing in nutrients/supplemental things for growth? The Blumat system pulls water when the soil dries past a certain point, so what's the best rule for feeding in that case? Shut the system "off" a few days pre feed?
Your plants look really good. My grow setup is very similar to yours. My plants are in day 15 starting wk3. Keep up the good work. GDP is a great strain. One of my wife’s favorites. We love the purple strains the best.
