Day 14:
Still not much sun this week or higher temperatures. Therefore my plants don't grow faster and thicker. Just bit by bit.
Also because of the lower temperatures, my medium doesn't dry up and the roots don't drink that much, so I can't water them often.
If I would water them everyday or once per 2 days, they will get soaked, roots will rot and the plant will turn lightgreen and stop growing.
I gues the same climate temperature will continu for another 2 weeks, meaning that my plants won't veg into maximum size before going into flowering.
Let see how it goes and hopefully i'm mistaken.
Until next week!
Wow, your plants look healthy and definitely bigger than mine. Can you tell me, when you started to count the days? After germination or after the seedling came out of the soil?
Wish you good luck and a green thumb growing 🥦🍀
@Smoking_Joe_Frasier, No problem. Make sure you can hide your plants under a roof or something else from time to time when its raining alot. Rain full flush your nutrients and it will
overwater your pots. Overwatering is one of the worse things that can happen. Many problems like root-rott, growth shutdown, nutrients shortage, not able to give new feedings, will happen.
If you are not able to hide them, I would put them in the full ground next time so all rain water can escape.
@GanjaReaper,
Hey, when I saw the root tip, I planted the seed right into the coco soil. And once the seedling finally popped up, I started counting the vegetation period. That explains the size difference.
Thanks a ton for always sharing your knowledge. If you ever have some time, feel free to check out my grow diary. I always appreciate tips from a great plant whisperer.
@Smoking_Joe_Frasier, Once I see a small root comming from the germination, I count that as day 1 of germation.
I put them into the pots and after 1-3 days I start seeing a small plant but that still counts as germation to me.
After a 7 days from germation, I will start counting of vegitation.
So at the end of week 2 of vegitation, they are 3 weeks old from seed to end of week2 vegitation.
For me this is the best way to count and slowly start adding nutrients at week 1 of veg.
In the past i used to count the germination week as vegitation and often it didn't work with calculation veg/flower stages.
