2/14/24: Starting new, my last seed ended up germing but never came out of the rockwool and I didn’t realize it until I opened the rockwool and found the seedling sprouted and wrapped up in itself. Soaked a new Strawberry Cough Auto in shot glass for 24HR then put directly into substrate soaked in PHed water. Runoff was 6.1. Giving her a few days to pop out of the shell the rest of the way. BONUS: decided not to toss out the other seedling and put it in the coco as well, let’s see what happens!
2/16/24: hasn’t popped thru soil yet. Misting top of coco and and dome daily. Going to re-wet coco tomorrow
2/19/24: Both seedlings popped thru soil on 2/18, removed humidity dome and wet soil with spray bottle. Mixed up 2 gal of feed solution, Cropsalt veg A 1.53 Grams and veg B 1.03 grams, watered plants with ~30ml of water. Light is at 100% at top of tent. 2/21/24 will be official Day 1.
2/20/24: Secondary seedling showing no improvement, if she’s the same tomorrow I’ll pull her and focus on the one. I plan on training this girl unlike in my Bubble Kush diary. Coco felt dry after having dome off for a day so watered 50ml of the light cropsalt feed and misted the dome and put it back until tomorrows check up. I have also been using recharge by real growers, sprinkled some in when initially putting seeds in soil and sprinkled a bit more around today with watering.
2/27/24: pictures are from last day of week 1. Just watering by hand once a day until the autopot come on. PPM of runoff is 1100-1200, need to get that down a bit and I’m going to put in a humidifier tomorrow to keep humidity around 65%.
3/3/24: EC still high. Need to dilute solution at next watering and keep getting EV down to target range (0.700-0.800)
3/4/24: Poured 2/3 gal 5.8 PHed Calmag water with 1 ml Runclean cause of high EC. Solution was at 1.1 EC, initial runoff came out at 1.5 and secondary runoff at 1.6, flush is working it seems to wash out the buildup. Plant looks like she’s a mutant but she looks healthy and isn’t minding the “over” watering to flush.
3/5/24: Last Day of wk 2, had to put a couple ties on her to get her to stand straight up. She’s almost training herself because of that initial lean. She’s progressing nicely. Handwatering daily until the autopot comes on. Projected for day 24-25
3/6/24 D1-WK3 D15 overall : She’s coming along nicely. Made up fresh feed water but it came out to a high EC (1.6) so I’ll have to dilute down to 1.100 for watering. PHed feed water to 5.8. Still watering a little heavy to wash out possible salt buildup at the base.
3/7/24: Still hand watering until the autopot comes on. Roughly half gal a day with plenty of runoff. Feed is 3.07 grams veg A and 2.07 veg B currently. Will up strength in the next few days.
3/9/24: hand watering, autopot will probably be able to come on within the next week. EC of feed is 2.1 and pH is 5.95. Feeding about 1/3-2/3 gal a day depending on how dry surrounding coco has gotten.
3/11/24: filled autopot reservoir with 6 gal of solution and turned it on after 20 days hand watering from seed in final pot. Solution is 27.6 Grams Veg A, 18.6 grams Veg B, 10ml Runclean and 2mL ph down, pH is 6.01, EC is 2.176. 3/12/24 is last day of WK 3
3/12/24: Last day of wk 3, we have pistils. 3/13/24 will start flowering weeks. 7-9 week flower.
****Cropsalts amounts are grams/Gal not mL****
3/13/24: begin week 4. She has pistils. 3 weeks left of VeG feed then switching to bloom at day 22 of flower. She looks good and healthy, letting her do her own thing. Have only pulled off 2 leaves up to this point.
3/14/24: Minor leaf tucking, she’s starting to fill out fast with the autopot on.
3/17/24: did a bit of defoliation otherwise she’s moving right along
3/20/24: D29, start of WK 5. She’s doing great and growing quick. Has grown at least 1” per day since 3/17/24. Just did res swap, 10 Gal in tank, 46 grams VegA, 31 grams VegB, 19ml RC, pH is 5.82, no recharge I’ve only been using that the first few weeks. EC is 2.844, it’s a little high but cropsalts run high EC, my starting EC for tap water is 0.200. This one and my other plant have taken the nutes no problem the whole time
3/26/24: Last day of week 5. She’s been stretching like crazy! One more week of veg food and switch to bloom!
3/31/24: Happy Easter! She has finished stretching and is just about 30” tall. Starting to smell really good. Topped tank with 5 gal of solution on 3/29, when that runs out we’ll be switching to bloom! Day 40, WK6.
4/1/24: Did a heavier defoliation. She’s using up the last of her veg food. Beginning Bloom nutes 4/2/24, otherwise she’s growing like a beast!
4/7/24: she’s really starting to fill out. She’s drinking a lot of water too. Filling new reservoir 4/8-4/9. She’s grown almost to my light as well I can’t move the light up any further!
4/11/24: D51. She’s starting to get a funk to her and thicken up. The branch I broke is taller than the main stem! 7-10 wk flower, she’s into week 5 of flower now!
4/12/24: little late on update sorry! She’s into week 5 of flower. Waiting on microscope to arrive so I can get a good look at the trichs. She smelled kind of fruity at the begginning of the week but now she’s starting to get a gassy funk to her! Depending on how things look in the microscope may begin the “finish” or “flush” in a week or 2. Things going well so far, I’ll be better about updates going forward!
