I submerged the seed in water for 24hrs, then placed in Coco coir in a half filled "Pot-Noodle" pot with drainage holes, the reason it is half filled is that if the seedling becomes "Leggy", I can add more Coco to the pot to correct before it becomes an issue.
I then placed it in a propagator (85% RH), on a heat mat (25˙), under a 27w aquarium LED light bar (250 PPFD). This bar's spectrum is geared towards plant growth.
She popped with her helmet attached, I had to assist. So far, so good! 👍
She is growing nicely, looks very healthy.
My first grow with the addition of a homemade external Mist Maker 5, which can pipe-in up to 1.6l of mist per hour.
Had to start LST, so I took 4 cuttings for cloning this week... 🙏
Gave her a defoliation & took 4 more cuttings this week, she bounced back the following day.
She looks very healthy & is starting to get hungry, I don't want to feed her up too much, I need to keep her as a "Mother" for a little while! 🤰 🤱 👩👧
Starting week 9 of my first mother-plant attempt.
Whilst she is growing at a high pace, she is now showing signs of a deficiency. I think it looks like a CalMag def, so I've started adding .5ml per litre.
May be I need to increase her overall nutes, I thought if I fed her less, she'd grow slower... guess I'm wrong?
Still, she has produced 5 healthy clones! 😍
Starting week 11:
I think I have the former deficiency under control, looks like it was a CalMag issue. 🤞
As usual, it appears like her defoliation last week last week didn't happen, she bushes-up so quickly! 😲
Starting week 12:
Signs of a deficiency are still present, not sure what it is though. I've been told it's a pH fluctuation & also a "K" issue.
I've flushed her with pH 5.8...
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Starting week 13
Week 2 of flower
Appear to be getting the defeciancy under control, I think it was a pH fluctuation.
Overall, the plants look healthy, including the Motherplant.
Starting week 16.
Starting week 5 flower.
Another defoliation plus bend & twist some of the taller limbs.
I've dropped the nighttime temp to around 14, hoping to create more purple. It appears to be working already!
Starting week 18.
Starting week 7 flower.
Looking very frosty, gave her molasses last week, I've increased the pH to 6.5/6.6 to help the Anthocyanin do its thing! 🙏
Starting week 23.
Starting week 12 flower.
Very frosty & nicely purple.
The Trichomes appear cloudy & red, about 5% are amber.
I've started harvesting the upper buds, filled my drying box, so I'll finish harvesting once the first lot is "jarred".
All harvested, trimmed & dried. 12.73oz now curing... 😊
