Day 1: Successful germination. Humidity dome on for the two first weeks.
Day 2: It started to stretch from being 2 cm on day one to being 4 cm on day two. I adjusted the ppfd to 330 from 250.
Day 3: It still stretched even more, it’s at 7 cm now. I think that the lights are 💩 but ether way I increased the ppfd to 450. Decided to fill up the rest of the pot with soil and increase the light to 550 ppfd. 4cm after filling up the pot.
Day 4: Plant looking strong, growths fast! It looks like the light increase helped with the stretching. Plant at 4.5 cm now.
Day 5: Looking grate. At 5 cm.
Day 6: Ppfd at 900. I know that the light intensity is high but the my light is shit. At 5.2 cm.
Day 7: Second node starting to appear. At 5.5 cm.
It started to stretch from being 2 cm on day one to being 4 cm on day two. I adjusted the ppfd to 330 from 250. Can someone with experience please help me control the stretching.
Hello Zazass, bring the light closer to the plant. This will stop stretching. If a plant does stretch too much at the beginning you can always support it with a cocktail stick.
Happy Growing Buddy! 💚
if it does, It tries to stretch into light. Give it some more, not less.
But i think your plant looks just fine, not what i would call stretchy yet.
Happy Growing mate!
Day 8: Start on week 2. Watered with compost tea. Plant at 5.5 cm.
Day 9: still looking good. At 5.5 cm.
Day 10: At 5.7 cm
Day 11: I watered with a 1:2 willow water to water ratio. So I diluted 100ml of willow water with 100ml of distilled water. I also added 0,26ml Calimagic. I putted the plant outside in the sun during the day. Plant at 6 cm. Changed light from 20/4 to 18/6.
Day 12: Plant looking good. Still 6 cm. The leaves feel a bit small for my liking.
Day 13: I took out the plant and mixed the soil with some perlite. Then I added the plant in the pot. Did this because of overwatering. Plant at 3.9 cm after.
Day 14: Letting the soil be dry today due to the overwatering. Watered it later on the day with nutes.
At day 10 with my cannabis plant, planning to move it outside at day 21. Current daylight: 16h 15m. Week 4: 15h 41m, Week 5: 15h 5m, Week 6: 14h 29m, Week 7: 13h 53m, Week 8: 13h 16m. When can I expect it to start flowering? And how can I keep track of the flowering weeks?
Hey mate,
Flowering triggers at around 11-12 hours of darkness. And need then some days to flip into flowering, like 2-4days . The first 2weeks of flowering you wont see pistils and your plant is still growing, but in the pace of lightning literally, so its no easy to keep track on when flowering starts exactly.
I would anyways feed grow-nutrients, till your plant shows pistils, since its only growing in early-flowering and therefor needs those nutrients.
I would just start flowering weeks in diary, when you hit 12 hours of nighttime or wait till you see pistils and change the last 2 weeks to flowering then. You can put weeks as growing first and switch it later.
Hope that helps you,
Happy Growing mate!👍
Can someone please help me with my plant. The leaves aren’t as big as it should be and the leaves are kind of drooping down. I will upload a picture of a plant sitt same strain from an other grower. I have the diary uploaded on my profile if you want to take a look.
Hello Zazass,
You keep the soil waaay to wet and for that reason the roots are suffocating due the lack of oxygen in the soil.
Let the soil dry out and water from the bottom in this small pot. Just place the pot in a bowl with 2 inches (5 cm) water for a few seconds. When you transplant the plant you only want to water from at least 5 inches away from the plant to prevent the roots to suffocate again.
Happy Growing Buddy! 💚
Day 15: Made a nutrients solution with 0,25ml calmag, 0,5ml micro, 0,25ml grow and 0,25ml bloom. PPM and EC was low so I doubled the nutes.
Day 16: Plant is still growing, but not as fast as I hoped for.
Day 17: Watered the plant with willow water. Plant at 5,5 cm now.
Day 18: Watered the plant with distilled water. Plant at 5,5cm.
Day 19: Watered the plant.
Day 20: Watered the plant. Plant at 6 cm.
Day 21: Watered the plant. Plant at 6,5 cm.
Please can someone help me with my plant. It’s in day 17 and still very small. I overwatered the plant for the first 12 days. I have the diary on my page. Please not that the calmag I’m using is homemade with Epson salt and eggshells so it can lack calcium. What should I do?
Hi... I've had similar issues twice, where it turned out there was root damage after germinating in a paper towel and then transferring directly to soil. I use a root riot/peat puck nowadays to check root development more easily - one a plant is in soil it's more likely than not that you don't want to disturb the root but there's obviously an issue here.
The first time I had a stunted growth at this stage, I watered the soil until it was a little crumbly and then went to repot the plant and visually, the root was just a small stump with no tendrils.
The second time, I asked a friend to check on it, he gently dug around the soil at the base of the plant and it just fell over, once again a small stump for a root system.
That's just from my experience which is limited but I now monitor growth carefully at germination (paper towel, root riot, then soil) to look out for such issues.
Anyway, take care, if this one doesn't grow, the next one will :)
Later
i also bought a good led grow light that has a dedicated seedling mode i promess it will help your little girls grow up to be gorgeous models. it all starts at the beginning my friend. at the beginning of my compound v grow diary i show all of lights that seem to give me wonderful results . its the blue spectrum you are looking for seedlings .good luck
Day 22: Watered the plant with pH water.
Day 23: Watered the plant with pH water. Cut the first set of leaves as they were dying.
Day 24: Plant looking good. Watered again.
Day 25: plant still looking good. Will probably transplant today so that I can water more but less often.
Day 26: Watered the plant.
Day 27: Plant starting to grow faster. Watered the plant.
Day 28: Transplanted the plant in a bigger pot. Plant looking better. Watered a little bit.
Day 29: Topped the plant.
Day 30: Starting to grow outwards more.
Day 31: Watered the plant. The roots have exploded since yesterday.
Day 32: All good!
Day 33: The edges of the leaves are curling a bit and I think it’s due to the temperature. Watered the plant pretty much because I will transplant it outdoors soon. The upper leaves are starting to smell but it’s weak.
Day 34: All loking good.
Day 35: Transplanted the plant outdoors.
