Disclaimer: I fill my diaries on the go and update them during the week. So if you like to get all the information and pics of innocent plants getting the herbie101 treatment, always check back on the last week to get the FULL picture (of a grower trying hard not to kill his plants). Thank you, have a wonderful week and happy growing!
Day 7: So most of the ladies survived the frist week of life. One did not manage to get up in time, so she had to go. So we got ourselves three beautiful little seedlings here and do what we can do to make it as easy as possible for them. So we try to keep humidity between 65 and 75% and temps between 22 and 26. I didn't water or feed them anything yet. Just misting them with pure ph'd water every couple of hours.
During this first seedling week, we'll give them a few small sips of water, some root juice and bacteria to promote root growth. But generally speaking less is more. If all goes well, it may be already transplanting time to give them more space. But we'll see how they do. So far i'm very happy how they do and i hope it goes on like that.
Day 9: The little cookies are chugging along and getting a bit bigger every day. They are working on their second set of leaves and seem to be pretty happy. Still no watering besides light misting with the god old spraybottle. I got the fan going, to give them some proper stem training. And thats all i got to do at the moment. π
Day 11: The cookie gang is pushing forward and making mileage. Everything seems fine. I think its time to prepare their new pots, so they can settle in their new sunbeds in a few days. I started feeding them sips of water. Next week we'll transfer to regular wet/dry periods i guess.
I'm not sure how i want to approach the vegphase and plant training this run. Many of the other rhc-farmers do a very short veg, because this strain seem to be getting tall. I still don't have a lot of height in my growroom. Hmmm... Not a fan of a scrog, especially in the new tent. So i'll just go for topping and lst to take away some height.
Very similar to the Tropicanna Cookies Iβm currently growing - I should be able to tell if I have a red specimen fairly soon as itβs just started really taking off flowering. I begged it for 8 weeks though, itβs almost too big tbh. Iv just made sure plenty of air flow as well as making sure the smaller colaβs or any other colas that were touching themselves have pretty much been removed. My tent is pretty much bursting at the seams with the plants I have in there now! It could do with one less but honestly, I think this one will flower so much quicker than the others that when itβs gone it should be the perfect timing for the two that are behind. We will see - I may try a from 12/12 next time and just slot them in with the currently flowering tent and just use a very small light in a seperate section of my home.
I donβt want to have to run fans and shit and tbh, in my experience as long as I use a really low wattage light (led), I SHOULD be able to make the first few weeks of their lives
@Rabidreject, Thank you so much for sharing your experience buddy! I almost got some tropicanna Cookies but finally decided for RHC. I really hope you'll get a red specimen! Happy growing! π±ππ
