27.05. - 30.05. (DD.MM.)
The seed was left to germinate in a glass of plain tapwater for 3-4 days in the dark.
27.05.: seed in water
28.05.: seed opened
29.05.: approx. 5mm germinated
30.05.: planted
30.05. - 05.06. (DD.MM.)
Because the seeds were eaten by fungus gnat larvae in the first two attempts, in which I placed the seeds in a large pot immediately after germination, I first grew the seeds in a smaller pot (approx. 10 cm in diameter) for this third attempt.
Because of the fungus gnat larvae, i poured boiling water over my soil before planting and then covered it with aluminum foil until it was cold. That way I was able to kill all the larvae.
I put the plant in my self-made growbox (50 x 50 x 120cm) after about 5 days. The plant was under a planting bell and was watered with 10ml of water on the 7th day after planting.
06.06. - 12.06. (DD.MM.)
I planted the plant in a 10l pot in which it will stay until the end.
To allow the excess water to drain away better, I placed 3 cm high volcanic stones in the bottom of the pot.
Unfortunately I had no more unfertilized soil and therefore had to plant the plant in fertilized soil, which is why it got nutrient burn as you can see in the pictures.
The soil was still wett enough because of the dome so i only watered with 50ml of wather at day 13.
13.06. - 19.06. (DD.MM.)
I didn't have to water the plant that week because the soil was still moist enough from killing the fungus gnat larvae.
I removed the planting bell on day 14.
After that I had a relatively constant humidity of 50% and a temperature between 24 and 28c
I rinsed the plant with 500 ml of water on day 20 because of the nutrient burn.
20.06. - 26.06. (DD.MM.)
The plant has grown well and the nutrient burn has decreased after flushing. The soil was dry on day 26 and I watered the plant slowly and evenly with about 1 liter of water.
Because the plant seemed big enough to me and because I didn't want it to grow too high in my small grow box, I topped it as you can see in the picture
27.06. - 04.07. (DD.MM.)
30.06. - The plant had survived the topping well and I started with low stress training by bending the large branches to the side with wire.
01.07. - I noticed that the plant started to smell very slightly.
However, it was not the typical cannabis smell, but rather an undefined, very subliminal but perceptible plant smell.
Over the next few days, the smell became a little stronger and you could detect a slight cannabis note, but it was still barely detectable.
I improved my low stress training bit by bit over the next few days.
04.07. - I watered the plant with about 800ml of slightly diluted water.
I used compo liquid fertilizer for green plants.
I also improved the led placement I used a special app to measure the PPFD and DLI value for different areas of my growbox and aligned the leds so that the plant gets a good amount of light.
You can see the results of my PPDF and DLI measurement in the pictures.
The distance from the lamp to the highest branches is now about 15 cm and the distance to the top of the pot is 30 cm.
In addition to the light measurement, I also determined the PH value of the water that comes out of the bottom of the pot after watering.
The PH of the soil is 6.
05.07. - 11.07. (DD.MM.)
On 05.07. I corrected my LST again.
The growth of the plant had increased considerably by 06.07..
When examining the plant, I noticed the first beginnings of flowers as can be seen in the pictures.
So we are at the end of the growth phase and starting the flowering phase.
I cut off a large leaf from one of the main branches because it was shading the branches below. (see pictures)
I also cut off two small old leaves from the bottom as they were completely shaded and interfered with watering. (see pictures)
I also watered about 500ml without fertilizer because some leaf tips were dark green and bent downwards. (see pictures)
08.07. Plant is growing great watered with about 1l with flowering fertilizer.
About 200ml of water has flowed out of the bottom of the pot after watering, it has a pH of 6,5.
I interrupted the lighting of the plant for about 4 hours today because i moved house.
10.07. Watered with about 500ml with flowering fertilizer.
12.07. - 18.07. (DD.MM.)
12.07. Plant is growing fast, about 55cm in hight right now. I hope its not outgrowing my 120cm growbox.
Watered with 500ml water with flowering fertilizer.
15.07. Watered with 400ml water with flowering fertilizer.
17.07. Watered with 500ml water with flowering fertilizer.
Trimmed of some of the lower shaded leaves. (pictures)
18.07. Watered with 500ml water with flowering fertilizer.
19.07. - 25.07. (DD.MM.)
I went to a music festival, so my sister took care of watering.
20.07. Watered with 500ml water with flowering fertilizer.
22.07. Watered with 1l water with flowering fertilizer. | ph wastewater 6,5 | pH soil 6,5
24.07. Watered with 800ml water with flowering fertilizer.
26.07. - 01.08. (DD.MM.)
26.07. Watered with 800ml water with flowering fertilizer.
28.07. Watered with 1l water without flowering fertilizer. Because of yellow leaf tips
30.07. Watered with 0,8l water without flowering fertilizer.
01.08. Watered with 0,8l water without flowering fertilizer.
02.08. - 08.08. (DD.MM.)
04.08. Flushed the plant with about 2l of water and removed some of the bigger feaves.
06.08. Watered with 1l water without flowering fertilizer.
08.06. Watered with 1l water without flowering fertilizer.
I cut of the top 10cm of the Main branches, because they we're touching the Lights.
