They all grow equally in the first week, I'm excited to see how it turns out. Trying to add every 2-3 days new pictures. (Day 5 as I created this diary)
I started planting these just for fun. Please no hate, it's the first time for me.
I'm currently just watering them with a spray bottle and the growing medium is potting soil.
Since yesterday the leaves have been hanging down a bit but not very much and on one plant the color has changed a bit to light green.
May be normal but better be safe than sorry
All 3 pictures are from 3 different plants
At this stage, the thickness of the stem is important!
When the leafs are green, leafs are not important. You can already give a small amount of fertigation.
At the beginning of the second week, there isn't much to see yet. But it's nice to see the plants growing. You can see progress every day in this early phase.
I'll keep you posted with pictures and ask if I'm unsure.
Week 3! They are growing very well, I don't see any deficiencies with my virgin eyes and everyone who has seen pictures so far says that they look healthy.
I water them at different times because the two strains use different amounts of water at the moment.
I give fertilizer according to the BioBizz plan, but I halved the values because I once read that it is better to halve them for autoflowers.
I'm grateful for any comments or tips!
They are all doing very well, all are showing signs of flower development, but since this is only just beginning I will consider this week as a vegetation week.
I reduced the light intensity as they were showing some signs of light stress. I water them every 2-3 days depending on how dry the soil is.
Day 26: Watering them every 2-3 Days depending on how fast the soil dries. Feeding them every second watering with:
Calmag 0,3ml/l
Bio-Grow 1,5ml/l
Bio-Bloom 1,5ml/l
Top-Max 1ml/l
I agree, bloom has alot of phosphorus in it, wich can cause problems with Calcium and other nutrien uptakes. Whats yout VPD? It looks like it‘s something environmental too. When the plant is in a stage of stress, try to reduce the amount of other stress you might put the plant under. If shes healthy, high light intensity is good to promote fast groth because (!) she can take it. But when shes havings some kind of problems, high ligh, dry air and hot temperatures (things to make the plant grow faster), cause even more problems much much faster. I mean, think about it. Maybe the plant needs Nitrogen for example. Your environment is telling the plant to grow fast but where is the nitrogen to do it (example)? It will get so much worse after only a few hours. If you reduce the temperature, highten the RH and lower the light intensity for a bit, you give your plant a little break to recover from what ever is causing the problem right now AND you also have think about a solution (flush ect.). Give it at least 10 hours of a low stress environment for good recovery. Also If you regularly spray the leaves, don‘t do it because it cools them down so photosynthesis goes down with it. The VPD depends mostly on leave temperature (example: how,wet towel in the sun vs. cold,wet towel in the sun)
Week 5! They've gotten really big in the last few days.
Unfortunately they started with yellow tipping. I adjusted the environment and nutrients to see if they can survive it. Growth has not slowed down compared to before.
Apart from that, I think they look very good.
You are welcome to share your opinion!
Unfortunately, I was sick and didn't feel like uploading, but I took pictures anyway. The flower development can now be seen very clearly and many flower stems are being developed. They have bad days but generally look healthy.
@kardel, Thanks for your detailed explanation, I'll follow that, I'm just worried about giving too much water too soon. But I also heard that you can't actually give too much water, only watering too often is harmful, can you confirm that from your experience?
@RyyyyzN, Oh I forgot to mention that Im still a new grower, i've struggling with too small on my first and second grow since I never watering them much.
on my 3rd grow I realize that just good amount and pH water at early veg stage change it a lot. checkout my OG kush r2 or bag seed GDP(which is discarded) that I watering like I explained.
you are doing great so far ! good luck on transition.
@RyyyyzN, here is my watering
At germination stage I use droplet to give it water about 25ml 2 times a day
After the first true leaves are fully grow out I watering with 200ml circle around the plant. And ramp up to 500ml when it grow bigger.. then so on and will given 1-1.5 liter at your plant ages
After 2 week i Watering the whole surface evenly. And only watering when soil dry ahh you might know that already. My 3gallon pot getting dry after2-3day in my condition.
I give my plant full saturated till run off late week3, my3gl pot take 1.8liter or2liter depends on how much it came off I aim for 10-20% from input.
