Placed seed in peat pellet on 12th Jan
This one popped through in about 48hrs!
It's now been 7 days since placing seeds in pellets and have transplanted into starter pot with Coco/perlite
Have begun low dose fertigation
Slow start to life for the seedlings this time around, I put this down to colder temps in the tent. I normally run a heater but it's summer here and I'm getting 25c during the day and roughly 20c at night. However we had a few days of colder temps around 18c during lights on which isn't ideal.
Noticed some inward leaf curling which generally means early stage calcium deficiency and is a common issue with seedlings in Coco, so I've added CalMag to the last two feedings which should sort that out
Stats at time of this update
Temp: 24c
Humidity: 60%
Vpd: 1.12kpa
ppfd: 400
Dli: 25.92
EC: 1.7
She's a bit sad looking. Noticed a bit of calcium deficiency last week so started adding calmag to the nutrients.
This deficiency looked to progress this week with rusty spots on leaves. So I made a CalMag foliar spray at 0.8ec. as of this update she's had two foliar sprays
I also increased ph to 6.1 last couple feedings and have decreased light to 350ppfd and transplanted to 2.5l pot
Things I should of done differently:
Increased ec slower. I jumped up to 1.7ec very quickly. I also increased to 400ppfd too quickly.
The new growth looks alright so hopefully she comes right
This girl has definitely bounced back this week and is looking alot happier!
I've just repotted all three plants I have this run into autopot xl pots, and am top feeding for 10 or so days to establish roots before connecting the bases.
I've also started adding silica to the nutrients.
I plan on topping this plant once which should happen in the next week or so
This week all 3 plants received a topping and LST.
Both the mimosa and runtz are very compact plants, more compact than I'm used to. I'm not sure if that's something they're not happy with or if it's just genetics as this is the first time I've ran these. I plan on taking clones so will be able to run them again in the future.
We're still top watering for a few more days, hopefully we get some good growth so I can take some clones and flip these girls.
Lots of growth this week.
This week we turned on the res so we are now bottom feeding automatically.
Today I took clones from all the plants, going to let them bounce back from that and flip to flower in the coming week.
I'd like to veg this one out a bit bigger but the shiskaberry is already taking over the tent
Flipped light schedule 2 days ago so we're now on the start of flower, I'm still calling this a veg week as most of the week was veg
She's starting to stretch, definitely the smallest plant of the bunch but we'll see how she goes through flower
Growing good, first week of flower and she's stretching, unfortunately it's getting dwarfed by the shiskaberry.
Ive taken clones and am currently vegging them so as soon as this run is over I'm going to put in 2x mimosa and x2 runtz and hopefully do them a bit better as the light is so far away because shiskaberry is twice the size I dont think this will yield what it could potentially.
She's stretching, unfortunately been over shadowed by my shiskaberry which is at the top of the tent!
This plant and the runtz muffin are too far away from the light as you can see in the third pic so I'm expecting airy buds from them this run.
I have clones of each vegging now and will do them better justice as soon as this runs done
End of week 3 from flip, buds forming nicely, she's stretched a little closer to the light but unfortunately the light is still too far away, I've trimmed alot of lower branches away that just weren't getting enough light.
Another week down, another week over shadowed by the massive shiskaberry in the tent, not expecting much out of this plant, but we're running the clones next and hopefully do it better justice.
Last pic is of the clones getting ready for the flower tent as soon as this runs done
