2024 420FB Sour Diesel & Blue Dream Autos

Week 3 from seed begins! Both had a great week last week with no deficiencies noted, tolerated the increase in EC, adding additional leaves and moving out of the seedling stage into early vegetation. Leaves were just at the edge of the seedling bags. Temps avg last week - 26.8C, 64%. Expect humidity to raise due to large 19L pots. Transplanted both into final pots. Coco was prepped with PH/EC solution prior to transplant. Seedling bags were cut away and seedlings transplanted off-center for LST training. Changed to Veg feeding ratios, added CalMag to dilute to EC. Considerations for the week - 1. Continue to slowly increase EC as tolerated 2. Slowly increase light intensity and lower height. *(Veg 35-40cm, 60-90%) 3. LST vs Topping later this week. Want to give them time to adjust to the new containers. 4. BD has a lighter colored "vein" in one leaf, it does not appear to be getting worse and new growth appears normal, will monitor. ***Most likely a nutrient splash. 31-8-2024 Day 15. BD 6 cm in height, slightly ahead by a day and a node, working on 4th set of leaves. PH 6.26, EC 1120. SD 8 cm in height, behind by a day and a node, working on her 3rd set of leaves, visually she is larger in width and height. PH 6.23, EC 1130. 1-9-2024 Day 16. PH 6.0, EC 1080, 2l each to ensure good saturation of coco, run-off great. Decreased light height to 47cm, increased to 50% dimming, continue to lower height and increase the dimming. No stunting noted with transplant into final pot yesterday, growth continues. Will increase EC tomorrrow. 2-9-2024 Day 17. PH 5.96, EC 1140. 1.5L each to ensure good saturation of coco, run-off great. Decreased light height to 40cm, increased dimming to 55%. Growth continues. 26C/81% OK with extra humdity for now. Added yellow trap to each fabric pot. 3-9-2024 Day 18. PH 6.06, EC 1160. 1.5L each to ensure good saturation of coco, run-off great, will try 1L. Light dimming increased to 60%. LST started on BD with support to base stem, will start SD tomorrow. 26.3C, 80%. Started dehumidifier in room. 4-9-2024 Day 19. PH 5.96, EC 1140. 1L each with great run-off. Lights at 40cm & 60% Dim. Adjusted LST on BD. LST started on SD with stem support. SD is a bit taller. 26.4C, 76%. 5-9-2024 Day 20. PH 6.06, EC 1175. 2L each with great run-off, will lower volume tomorrow, concern with coco drying out. light 40 cm, dimming increased to 65%. Adjusted LST on both plants and will adjust later this evening, branches are developing. 26C, 69%. 6-9-2024 Day 21. PH 5.96, EC 1190. 2L each with great run-off. Lights 40cm, dimming increased to 70%. Adjusted and added to the LST for both. Branches are developing well and should be able to begin LST on new branches. Height on both around 9cm. Using 2.3x (50%) nuts, with 1.5ml cal mag in 4.2L to get around 1190 EC. Pro Roots stopped, wanted to feed for a few days post transplant. Week 3 from seed draws to close seeing both plants move from seedling to veg stage. Very pleased and excited by the growth, good color and no deficiencies noted this week! LST training started and both plants responding well to training by begining to develop branches off the main stem. BD is bushy with short internodal spaces and reminds me of my last grow with Strawberry Gorilla; SD has focused on height with more spacing between nodes showing her satvia background. SD is my first plant that has demonstrated a more sativa influence so it will be interesting to watch her develop with my LST attempt. Next week's plan 1. Continue LST and begin to spread out the new branches 2. Increase EC as tolerated 3. Increase light dimming (60-90% veg) 4. Watch for signs of flower later at the end of next week.
