Germany went legal, I have some seeds I am not as interested in and won't have space for in my tent - so let's see what my (north faced...) window and a cheap grow lamp for house plants can do.
Using Green Buzz Nutrients for this one.
Germination after 4 days. Maybe it's just by chance, but all my Fast Buds seeds germinated extremely.... well, fast. ^^;
Guess who burnt her tiny little plant because she did not know how strong her cheap light was?
It's-a me!
Argh.
Let's see what happens. In my limited experience, If you make mistakes in the early days of auto plants, you often ruin the whole grow.
In compensation for the leaf I burnt, she produced three instead of two in the next set. O_O Thanks?
All the usuals for me: Wick system in an Air Pot, eco soil with little nutrients, so that I can use up my set from Green Buzz Nutrients.
Looking good despite the inferior lights!
The two journals I'm currently keeping show quite clearly how important good lights are. This plant here is a week older, but has grown considerably less. Whilst the height is about the same, fewer leaves have developed here and they are also smaller.
I have now moved the plant a little closer to the window, as the electric plant light is only just enough to prevent it from becoming spindly.
Like my other plant, this is a very unlucky grow. I started this one as a window project, but since the other one stopped growing, I decided to put this one in the small grow box as there is (unfortunately) enough space. I gave her a bit of low stress training, but as she stopped growing as well, I just left her to it.
Same same. She hasn't grown. The very few buds have developed a little, but honestly, it's a waste of space and electricity. I can't wait for my next grow, this time with proper soil.
Fortunately, I haven't given up on this little plant; a lot has happened in the last week. I have defoliated a little and - somewhat half-heartedly - used low stress training. She looks ugly now, but she seems to like the treatment. Now she can enjoy the artificial sun for a few more days. It's no longer a window grow, but I'm expecting a higher yield that way. I have come to realise that our north-facing flat is not suitable for more.
Not one of my proudest grows. Northern Europe is not ready for window grows yet, at least not where I'm living. Pleasant smell and taste, though. I'm sure it would be more potent if it had enough light.
