Mothers: Durban Poison (DP), Café Racer (CR), Wedding Cake (WC) & Pineapple Express (PE). Moms have been growing well all week. Had an algae outbreak in the soil. But fixed it with wiping away the green growth with a damp paper towel then sprinkling cinnamon over the surface. I transplanted them to 1 Gallon Pots and realized the algae had grown along the inside walls of the pots. Hopefully the transplant nullified the problem I removed all dirt that was algae contaminated before the transplant. Placed in new fresh Sohum Soil. Due to the removal of a lot of the soil from algae much of the root systems where exposed. Currently is no transplant shock. DP#1 is showing signs of Nitrogen Burn. I believe this will subside in time as the plant continues to grow and need the nitrogen. Heavy rains outside the grow have caused an increase in humidity but adjusted humidifier to maintain a stable level. Current PPFD is 500-600, Temp ranges are 74F-78F, Humidity has been crazy due to dry and wet spells from the weather outside but managed to keep it between 50%-60% RH. Watered to run off after the transplant to mesh old soil with the new. The new Sohum soil seems to hold water well and provide airy soil environment. Also seems strong in nutrients and future grows should probably wait a full 3-4 weeks before transplanting. Hope to be able to pull a Clone and add Pineapple Express to this Mother Grow soon. 😷
@Jaked, Thank you I wanted a bit of variety. Durban Poison 100% sativa, Cafe Racer 70/30, Pineapple Express 60/40, and Wedding Cake 20/80, Sativa/Indica ratios. One to keep me up and one to knock me out and everything inbetween lol.
The purpose of high Rh is only to keep the seed shell moist, the minute you see the cotyloden leave is when drop Rh, the back of the leaves have small mouths called stomata if the water content of the air is above 70% the stomata will start to close to prevent suffocation.
Bacterial growth explodes above 77f, throw in moisture for any length of time with a Rh of 70+ is asking for trouble.
Good luck.
Put a wet towel. This will keep up a much more stable RH. As the plants will such in that mist, u know what you're doing so. Whatever works. Good luck with your strains some nice 1
