Germination
a year ago
Started directly in soil. First seed didn't germinate and after two weeks I gave up. Started a new one that cracked the soil in 72 hours. This will be my first photoperiod and first plant started with the intent to manage its growth. I will be topping at node 3 or 4, then LSTing the new branches. It will spend its first three weeks under a 30W grow bulb before being moved into the tent.

Growing strong despite less favorable environment. Still under the seedling light. Stretched a bit when I messed up the timer, but it'll be fine.

Transplanted to 1 liter plastic pot and moved into Spider Farmer 60x60 tent. It's being used to flower two Northern Light Autos, so not ideal conditions, but better than outside the tent. During the transplant I sprinkled some mycorrhiza spores and gave the plant its first dose of nutrients, a local generic 3-3-3. At day 20 I topped the plant at the fourth node.

It is struggling and lagging behind. Seems to be fussy and sensitive to high temperature and it was hitting 34° for two hours daily in the previous weeks while I wasn't paying attention. I switched lighting hours and moved things around, and now it shouldn't hit more than 28°. It's showing nutrient deficiency but I'm convinced it's the heat. We'll see how that develops. I transplanted it to a 4 liter fabric pot. I will transplant to final pot (20 L or 30 L) before I switch to flower. Hopefully it will recover nicely until then. I decided to top it again despite the stunted growth.

Still recovering. Doesn't show well in photos but the entire plant feels miniature and packed. Day 42: Skipped watering. Day 43: 500 ml water with BioGrow (1:1000). Day 44: Skipped watering. Defoliated inner and bottom leaves. Day 45: 600 ml water with organic plant food (3-3-3). Day 46: Skipped. Day 47: It drank about 800 ml water with BioGrow (1:1000). Day 48: Skipped. This plant is in limbo. About three weeks until I have space for flowering. It's fully recovered and growing well.

Still in limbo. No plan. Three more weeks. Day 49: 700 ml water with BioGrow (1:1000). Day 50: Skipped Day 51: Topped again. Upper leaves drooping and showing yellow banding. Watered 800 ml without nutrients. Should include cal-mag in next watering. Day 52: Skipped Day 53: Watered 400 with cal-mag (1:750). I think it's a zinc or pH issue, but cal-mag has trace nutrients and helped before. Day 54: Skipped Day 55: Skipped

Week 10 - Jun 22 She's showing some signs of nutrient issues. Suddenly all three of my grows have calcium deficiencies. I thought maybe pH issues, but that's not the case after I tested the soil and water. I transplanted her into her final pot last week and I refreshed the top soil with long term nutrient and mineral pellets. I'm giving her a few days to recover her root zone and rebalance nutrients before I flip the light schedule. Day 70 - Jun 23 Watered 2.5 l BioBloom and cal-mag (1:1:1000)

Hey man, this plant is hungry. The lower leaves are light green. They will eventually turn a light yellow and then to brown and die. It also seems to be over watered as the plant looks like its growing up also while drooping. Hopefully it picks back up to critical health soon. Pozdrawiam =)
