GeminiCQC Unfortunately the first seed did not seem like it was gonna grow as the little bit of taproot that showed itself browned and stopped growing. The second is going nice and strong.

GeminiCQC She seems to be growing a little slowly, but hopefully it will bounce back into full growth. She is still as vibrant as ever in this second week.

Grow Questions

GeminiCQCstarted grow question 1y ago

I was hoping to wait until the end of this week to use the self watering bases since the plant looks old enough, and I don't want to over do it. Should I set it up after I too dress with recharge again, or will beginning of week 5 work?

I feel you need to wait till the plant has explored all the medium before going to self watering. If the roots are not fully explored I feel wet spots will be an issue and areas of the pot will become rancid with no wet dry cycle. I have only done self watering outdoors and the pots went through a proper wet and dry cycle. if they stayed wet all the time they has issues. Good Luck!

GeminiCQC She finally seems to be getting her growth spurts. Already super bushy, so I've got the netting ready for it to really get growing. Humidity still dances around a bit, but trying to not force my exhaust to run all the time.

GeminiCQC I am not liking the scrog. Trying it for this grow as an experiment and it seems to be rough with teaf tuck and trying to further space branches apart. Plus I can't turn her for her full glory now. Started stretching, so I'm assuming she will be in pre-flower soon.

GeminiCQC Doing consistent defoliation to keep the canopy breezy. She's just going for the long haul, and seems happy. Hopefully I get 6 even bud sites from the scrog which seems better now that I understand not to move the leaves around too much. The grow dots and recharge are working like a dream.

GeminiCQC I'm getting a little anxious about her. I've seemingly made too many mistakes from overdoing the recharge, and having lights too high. I set up the self watering base so I can spend a little more time on trying to sort out my environment. I'm also running out of room fast, and not a lot of pistils/ stigmas are showing.

Happy Harvest Day!

Unfortunately this one has to be chopped. It was a fun little experiment, but it was outgrowing my little tent even with heavy defoliation, and pushing the environment into a range I couldn't deal with. I'm on to a new experiment, but couldn't be asked to post here for this one. Will continue my with next ones though.

GeminiCQC Meh, grew vigorously, but the other two seeds I had were dodgy. I'll continue with the nutes, but cautiously with the seeds.

Is the 1 star rating due to it growing too big or what? If you are looking for a very compact plant, check out "critical dwarf- ganja farmer seeds it's super tiny and compact if that's what you're looking for.

@Dabking, it was more so due to the failure rate through the three seeds, it was also very tricky for me to get to that point.

@Dabking, the plant they had was already pretty small. You have to zoom and scroll into the pictures but they have their exhaust fan and filter in the top of the tent, so it's probably a 2x2x4 with 3.2" lost to autopot base, 11" hang and gap from LED for fan+filter, 8" for the pot ... plant is 16.8" and hasn't even flowered (presuming that's 16.8" plant and not PLANT + POT)

If you didn't like SCROG, there are some other options ;)

@@MyDearDiary, what would be some other training options to explore and experiment with? I'm growing 3 plants in smaller pots next round.

Faucetcommentedweek 81y ago

Move your fan and filter outside of your tent (I use the 4" AC infinity fan, it'll pull a 2x2x4 tent to negative pressure from outside w/ a filter it's pushing through). You're losing a ton of space from hanging fan/filter in there. Put the output (filter here) next to the intake if you're worried about smells. Klein bottle it on the tent floor and rock your "I can conjugate a quaternion" muscles of mind. Autopot is eating 3.2" of vertical space minimum. You didn't even bother to attempt to tie it down and bend the trunk stem. I've culled plants, you've culled plants. You never bothered a well-exercised thought on how to save the plant. I do respect your right to be salty about a 2/3 germination failure.
