Germination
a year ago
Like all my seeds, 24 hours in glass of room temperature water before transferring to soil to really get the ball going Seed took 4 days to sprout. Not sure if I buried it more than usual or not. Probably did. 20 litre pot used here which is double what I usually use. Anyhow, not rocket building, here's the lowdown... 20 litre pot with biobizz all mix, with a couple inches of clay pellets above the soil for good measure added around day 7 after sprouting. Seed spent first 24 hour in glass of water (room temp) in a darkened spot wrapped in a towel to keep heat. Once shell split was put straight into soil (which had been given a flush with water at same time as seed put into water) buried half inch deep, then lightly covered Spent a week under some generic seedling lights raised a few inch above for germinating, now have switched over to Marshydro ts1000. Think a water droplet or lights too close maybe root cause of yellow markings on leaves. Boo !!

Not much to report. Minor adjustment to the fabric pot. Removed some excess layer at top of the pots (last 2 pics)which was restricting light and ventilation to lower nodes; should open up and will allow for better cosmetic look Maybe fed once past week. Will be fed within next 24 hours and with a regular schedule going forward. pot probably at 15l capacity

so last week one of my cats got stuck in the growspace and collapsed some of the insulation around the plants straight onto the plants, a little further impromptu LST i guess, except the falling objects obstructed most of the light, unfortunately I was out the entire day so unsure how long this was the case, alas no real damage caused, just a little further LST as stated earlier. started nute feeding around day 30, as follows (biobizz; per litre) 0.5ml bio-grow, top-max & bio-heaven 1ml bio-bloom will multiply doses x2 next week with calmag added @1ml

Relocated the lady to allow for more room as filling out nicely, albeit maybe too nicely !! will definitely be using a tent going forward, however will just pursue with what I'm doing at present. Upped the nutes, as listed above. Given a top up one feed inc. 2ml of cal-mag as was going into feed for another plant I have on the go and thought would do no harm. Anyhow, not much else to report

Fed once, at beginning of the week, flushed out a couple times, just because other lady next to her wasnt getting nutes, so I thought if one doesnt get, none get !! 😠 !! Otherwise not much to say

DAY 89 CHOP CHOP not enough leaves and plant is just burning up as result, should've probably chopped two days ago, i don't think last 48 hours helped much. anyway. will get back about dry weight, done a little trimming but its 1am and i'll reiterate for third time, last 48 hours didnt help; burnt up the remaining leaves and didnt aid the cosmetic look much lol. regardless, happy enough. constant learning curve, nothing much too it. we grow, learn and go again. final thoughts; get a nutrient schedule and ride it out with it, don't tweak, go with something tried n tested, i messed around too much with that and encountered issues as a result.
