29.08. Day27 - She does not get better , its getting more worse
I did put her back in the Sun because she looks so bleached ๐ฒ
She is growing , but also getting more worse ๐
Its weird, Water just a bit not too much, not too less ๐
But I think , it must been some sort of Root Problem ๐ญ
UPDATE: Also when it is even more Stress In this Situtation , I did get her out ๐
And took a look onto the Roots, they did not much develop ๐
but the Roots are looking fine and healthy to me ๐
Maybe a new Home for her was needed ๐
So I did Re-Pot her into new fresh Soil ๐
we will see......
Get well again, little Cuttling ๐
Fight Hard Baby ๐ช
30.08. - Day28 Cloudy Day
Not much sun today just a cloudy carpet in the sky ๐ญ
But Temps are still OK , 25C Degree the Day
I did Re-pot the Cuttling ๐
She is still fighting to survive ๐ช
@kohlrabi, Yes I hope it will grow, thanks Kohlrabi
Its my 1st Cutting try of Cannabis , I only know how to do Bonsai Cuttings.
Ibaraki is a City Prefecture Region North of Tokyo in Japan , where the Soil is coming from.
And Akadama ?
Due to volcanic activity, Japan enjoys rich volcanic resources. After volcanic eruptions, volcanic rocks and pumice accumulate near the volcano. Several horticultural products based on these materials have been developed in Japan, two of which are the Akadama and kanuma soils.
Akadama is a naturally occurring, granular clay-like mineral used as soil for bonsai trees and other container-grown plants. It is surface-mined, immediately sifted and bagged, and supplied in various grades; the deeper-mined grade are somewhat harder and more useful in horticulture than the more softer, shallow-mined grades. Akadama may also act as one component of growing medium when combined with other elements such as sand, composted bark, peat, or crushed lava. The color darkens when moist which can help the grower determine when to water a tree. Also that it is Grainy Soil , the roots getting more Oxygen, what is good for roots and the plant and the roots will not rot so fast. It does cost more , but when its not contaminated you can use it again and you can use it for a very long time , a lot of soil you need to replace after a time because its dead or too much contaminated, but Akadama can stay as soil for some years. And as Top layer it helps also against fungus gnats (Trauermรผcken)
Components include silicon dioxide SiO2 42.7%, calcium oxide CaO 0.98%, magnesium oxide MgO 2.5%, manganese oxide MnO 0.15%, iron oxide Fe2O3 8.4%, and aluminium oxide Al2O3 25.1%.
Akadama has a pH of 6.9 and conductivity of 0.052 ms/cm.
Es ist zwar gebrannter Lehm, kann man aber nicht mit Blรคhton vergleichen und auch nicht mit Lavagestein was ganz anders ist aber Mineralien hat von Lavagestein, der einzige Nachteil hier ist, dass der PH-Wert eigentlich nicht "Optimal" fรผr Cannabis ist, mal schauen, hab ja auch nicht zu viel verwendet. Bei Cannabis liegt der PH Wert optimal bei 6 und Akadama hat 6,9. Es gibt welche die sagen, dass es PH Neutral wรคre, aber das glaube ich nicht. Es reagiert beim ersten Mal auch extrem mit Wasser und setzt Gase frei, was das genau ist weiร ich aber nicht, denke CO2 und Sickstoff.
Nice, I normally clone my first topping as well. I usually make a diagonal slit at the bottom and dip it in some rooting powder. I then stick it in the soil and place a clear dome over it which I spray with water and in about a week's time I get some roots. I tried the leaving it in water but I'm never successful that way ๐
@KushClicks, Nice, OK I got no powder,
Its my 1st try of a cannanis cutting , so it was a lot of days in water start getting bleached
then I put it into soil, but made the mistake to set it in a very hot sun was burning and I think I did a bit too much water.
Your cutting do stay green ? Or do they bleach too after a while and and revive ?
@kohlrabi, Ja glaube auch, am Anfang dachte ich halt die lebt nicht mehr lange ๐ญ
weil sie so schlimm aussah , aber sie ist noch immer saftig und hat genug , so grade.๐
Darum lass ich sie jetzt erstmal mit was weniger Wasser und kein extrems Licht sich weiter erholen.๐
Early stage, fertilizer is no good. Be patient and let the root grow.
With small root, plant can not take in fertilzer.
If you want for plant to look better, spray plant with calcium and magnesium. But this risk killing the plant by over feeding.
For me, I make my own cal/mag solution. I use about 1 grams of calcium nitrate (CaNO3) and 1 gram of Epsom salt (MgSO4) in 1 liter of water. Then spray the plant once a week. Calcium is an "immobile" fertilizer. And it gets in the plant by spray.
Also be careful not to have soil too wet. Root will rot in wet soil. Good luck
@Med_in_Tropic, Yes Thanks ๐
The plant is bleaching, but does not look and feel dry at all ๐
I did re-check the soil is a bit wet, will let it dry a bit ๐
There was no fertilzer and cutting stand a long time in water, over a week or so ๐ณ
yea there might be missing minerals come to stress now by the re-potting
I will keep the cutting like this and will see if its getting better , with a bit less water
lets see , ..... if not, i need to do a bit minerals. ๐
@kohlrabi, No , I can not check PH , but it should be OK, its the same Soil as on the other plants, no fertilizer added, water also the same
it should be a bit over 6.5 in PH I think.
I do not know whats wrong its weird , she is growing but also looks like she is dying.
I can only guess , maybe its the water roots do not get a long in soil plus the hot sun, but i can be wrong.
Today she looks even much more worse, picture coming soon.
