The seed was expected to germinate in water in a glass for 48 hours. Then, it was expected to be soaked in oxygenated and regular water for another 48 hours, assuming the state in the 3rd photograph.
Afterwards, it was placed in a cup with soil mixed with perlite. 1 mL of Terra Aquatica Root was given per 500 mL along with 5 tablespoons of water.
A trial period of 20/4 was attempted, but for the first 10 days, mostly 24-hour light was provided. Due to my humidity device malfunctioning, efforts were made to keep it stabilized around 60-80% during the first week. A 50-watt torch LED was used for a while, then a 65-watt LED was used. Mostly, the 50-watt white torch was continued with. Despite trying to support the branch with thin wood, it was not effective.
Every 3 days, 2-2.5 mL of Terra Root Booster mixed in 500 mL of water, along with an average of 5-10 tablespoons, approximately 50-100 mL, of water, continued to be given.
It was noticed that damage occurred on the leaves due to overwatering once.
Due to the small holes at the bottom of the cup, excess water did not drain out, causing perlite at the bottom of the cup to continue to accumulate and retain water, leading to the onset of mold traces.
Therefore, it was decided to transplant the plant into a pot as soon as mold traces began to appear.
-The bottom of a 5-liter water bottle was cut to reduce it to 2.5 liters. Proper holes were drilled to allow air circulation and excess water drainage.
-The soil was mixed with perlite again.
-It was learned that perlite should never be used at the bottom of the cup. If it needs to be used, it was learned that the holes should be drilled to an appropriate extent. (:
-During transplantation, mycos were sprinkled on the roots and in the holes.
During this process, there was no active inlet or outlet hole in the cabinet. There were only passive holes in the wardrobe for air circulation.
When transitioning to the 2.5-liter pot, an additional 2nd 50-watt white torch was added. There is a total of 100 watts of light available.
After adding the 2nd torch, the temperature in the cabinet continued to be around 28 degrees Celsius.
As of the 5th day of the 3rd week, the light was continued with a schedule of 20 hours on and 4 hours off.
The on-off hours continued for a while in an irregular/random manner, following a schedule of 20-4. The exhaust fan was installed and activated.
Started using 2.5ml Terra Aquatica Root Booster and 0.5ml Terra Aquatica Pro Organic per 500ml.
Xcd ustam (@XmasteR) mentioned that although we were a bit late for the transplant, the preparation process for planting clover in our 20-liter final air pot was done on the 37th day.
Pot mix consists of soil, pumice, perlite, lava rock, clay pebbles, coconut coir, and marble powder. Clover was planted to fulfill nitrogen needs. Love 🍀💚🍋 Organic
Materials for LST are being procured, LST and ScrOG will be done within this week.
LST was done using 3mm steel bonsai wire. Greetings and respect to Cat Baba for the recommendation.
Materials for ScrOG have been prepared. Handmade construction has begun. It will be set up within this week. You can follow along with photos. Thanks.
D54: The ScrOG was raised off the ground.
D58:
The last 3 watering sessions were given without fertilizer, each with 1.5 liters. This was because, on the 49th day, during the first watering, the runoff water had a pH of 6.8, followed by 7.0 pH during the second watering, and 7.2 pH during the third watering. When I noticed that the pH had stabilized, I resumed the routine with fertilized watering.
Since I use filtered water, I should continue with occasional calcium supplementation.
For the ScrOG, I continue to tighten and spread out the loosened metals due to the soil.
I continue to remove the fan leaves that have grown significantly and cover the tops.
We will switch to bloom when we see that 60% of the ScrOG is filled.
D65: The smell of the pruned fan leaves started to resemble citrus. It's like a failed orange citrus smell. Since our lights are crappy, filling the SCROG takes quite some time. I didn't expect to wait for my ex as much, nor did I expect it. My dad always used to say, "You'll never amount to anything." Well dad, we really couldn't become men :D Anyway, when we harvest, and someone asks, "Did you do it or not?" we'll say, "Yes, I did it, fathers keep their promises" :D
D67: Signs of nitrogen, calcium, magnesium lockout appeared on the leaves. Treatment was applied according to the recipe of @XmastEr ustam.
D69-1: The LST wires stuck into the soil loosened after a while, causing the branches to spring back up.
D69-2: The majority of the wires were shortened and moved to the holes on the edges of the air pot. The plant was stretched thoroughly.
D70: The diseased fan leaves were pruned to assess whether the applied treatment was effective and to notice any progress. They were photographed for reference. There's a 90% probability of recovery.
D71: After watering, the disease seems to have completely cleared up. We will start progressing with the ScrOG this week. No matter how dwarf-like it may appear, there are still many lateral branches and the node intervals are very short. Leaves have already begun to touch the front and back sides of my wardrobe.
D74: ScrOG has been abandoned. Even if we were to spread it across the entire area with a torch lamp, given the time it took to achieve these results the plant would still be large in size but with weak flowering. To avoid further delay yellow lights will be added to the tent during the day, and the plant will be switched to flowering and placed under a 12/12 light cycle.
D77: It was observed that some issues recurred on the leaves. It was noticed that the soil pH was again slightly high. Due to the poor genetics of the clovers, it was decided to remove them. Preparation for SST has begun, which will be beneficial for balancing the soil pH.
I found 2 fungus gnats inside the tent. I suspect that the damage on the leaves might be due to them. For now, I've stopped watering. If there are larvae, I'll wait for them to die. Apart from that, I've started germinating malted barley, corn and mung bean for SST.
D82: The final signs of dehydration due to my inability to tend to the plant while being away from the city.
D94: I finally made it home. I completed the empty space in the pot with humic acid soil conditioner granules and my classified soil. I gave 8 ml of booster and 3 ml of bloom fertilizer to a total of 2 liters of water.
D96: The dried leaves after fertilization were pruned, and the flowers picked up a bit more after bloom fertilizers. Stay tuned for updates, love.
D99: The previous watering, I used 2 liters, and there was about 200 ml runoff. This time, I used 3 liters, and there was a maximum of 50 ml runoff. For the next watering, I'll increase it by another 1 liter. There's no trace left of its condition in the last photos from the 12th week. We're slowly getting it back on track.
D108: After the stress we experienced, we managed to recover with a yield of 60-70%. We will start monitoring trichomes in the 8th week. Continuing with two waterings, one with fertilizer and one with calcium, we proceed.
We continue with 2 fertilized and 1 calcium watering. This week, noticeable changes in the flowering stage have begun to be observed. I'm sorry for the delay in uploading photos due to my workload. (:
Looks like we've entered our final week. Our trichomes are fully cloudy with a few rare clears. The aroma of our flower is now entirely like a lemon grove. I hope the flavor will be as amazing as the smell. Quick-dry test smokes have resulted in lots of laughter and rolling on the floor
We are continuing with just water feedings.
My first grow, full of mistakes, is finally over. I ended up with a total of 130 grams of dry harvest. The high hits really fast; a 2-gram joint had me laughing non-stop for 15 minutes. The strong lemon aroma and anise scent made me very happy. My first joint had me laughing, and by the second, I was daydreaming. Much respect to my mentors, and special thanks to Xcd.
Love to all.
