Ztric 23.04.24: Planted the seed at 5:30pm. I used normal dirt and put a peat pellet in the middle to plant the Seed in. I did all this in the final pot to not have to replant. 24.04.24-26.04.24: Nothing happened for a cupple days. I tried keeping the dirt wet by spraying it when the dirt feels dry. 27.04.24: The first branch in showing in the morning. I also set up an LED at 40cm distance and a small fan. I tried watering the seedling for the first time with a watering can. 28.04.24: The leaves are curling downwards which most likely is because I overwatered yesterday. While the surface seems dry a few cm deeper the dirt is still wet so I wont water today and hope the water will evaporate. In the evening I decided to cover the seedling with half of a waterbottle to increase humidity which is constantly at 50-60%. Despite the curled the leaves, the plant looks very healthy. 29.04.24: The leaves are still a bit curled but they are becoming better. The whole seedling though seems to elongate quite a lot so I lowered the LED to about 10cm. Furthermore on the leaves are constantly water droplets which I asume are there because of higher humidity. Since they keep growing higher I improvised another LED lamp with some LED Strips I had laying around and a cuppord that I added to the setup in the evening. I hope this will stop the eliotation (don't even know if that's the right word) and increase the power of my lamp. I'm thinking of constantly changing the plant under the bought LED and the improvised one since the inprovised one seems a bit darker but I'm not sure if that stresses the plant too much. I also added a bigger turning fan. 30.04.24: All signs of overwatering are gone and the dirt felt very dry so I watered again. This time with way less water. I also filled the pot a little more with dirt to support the elongated seedling. Despite that everything looks healthy.

Ztric 01.05.: Temperature very high with 32°C and humidity too low with 45%. Height: 5cm 02.05.: Since the temperutre is still very high I opened a window. Compared to the morning the temperature in the afternoon dropped from 32°C to 22°C and the humidity increased from 45% to 55%. Height: 5cm. 03.05.: Watered with ~60ml I raised the improvised LED to about 17cm above the plant. Temperature 24°C, humidity: 58%, height: 5cm. 04.05.: I installed a new more powerful LED ~35cm above the plant. Temperature: 25°C, humidity: 50%, height: 5cm. 05.05.: Temperature: 27°C, humidity: 50%, height: 6cm. 06.05.: Temperature: 25°C, humidity: 50%, height: 6cm. 07.05.: She showed a few sings of dehydration (upwards curled leave-tips and hanging down leaves) which would make sense since I haven't watered in a few days. Gave her water ~100ml. Temperature: 25°C, humidity: 63%, height: 6cm. Overall she looks very healthy even though the leaves are worrying me. I really hope that it's jsut dehydration and not a problem with the roots.

Ztric 08.05.2024: I think the signs of dehydration might actually be signs of suffocating roots since the dirt feels very dense. I hope this gets better over the next cupple days though. I sprayed the surface a little. Temperature: 25°C, humidity: 62%, height: 6.5cm. 09.05.-11.05.: Had to leave for a cupple of days my roommate watered the plant on 11.05. 12.05.2024: The bottomleavetips are starting to show sign of discoloration. I think this might be because of malnutrition. I'll start feeding fertilizer tomorrow. Temperature: 32°C, humidity: 37%, height 7.5cm. 13.05.2024: I fed fertilizer (compo organic grow mix) for the first time today. First I watered with 100ml, 10min later I used 100ml of a 1/150 mixture of fertilizer and water. Temperature: 25°C, humidity: 55%, height: 7cm. 14.05.2024: Bottom leaves are still yellow which. I hope this is not an infection. SInce all my three plants have this it is not nessesary to isolate on plant in my oppinion. Temperature: 28°C, humidity: 55%, height: 7.5cm. I'm battling high temperatures and low humidity. I also hope the yellow leaves are not an infection and if so that this infection is not influencing the growth of the plant too bad.

Ztric Even though she's not growing very tall she grows quite wide. I was surprised that she already smells a little. I had some fungus gnat last week which makes me worried that they might have damaged her. I bought some yellowsticker an nematodes for them.

Ztric The first flowers started to bloom at the end of the week. I think I'll put her in flowering phase next week. I also put some nematodes in the soil against the fungus gnats. Overall she seems very healthy and grows good. I decided to try some LST and it worked very well.
