Hello, this is my first grow. I'm using a mixture of Gaia green living soil, worm castings, perlite and GG fertilizer. I'm using a Spider Farmer s2000 and growing in two 5 gallon I planted the seeds directly into the soil on Sept 5 2024.
I intend to do some LST, but I am unsure if I will top the plants as I've heard mixed reviews on it.
Again this is my first grow, if you see any issues please let me know!!
One of my seeds hasn’t sprouted yet. I’ve placed a 3rd seed in a cup of water and I am going to put it in soil once I see the root stick out.
The one seedling is about an inch tall.
I lowered the lights to be 24” from the plant, measuring around 295-300 PPFD
I changed the light to 18 hours daily vs 24.
I picked up a small bag of mykos that I will use with the 3rd seed, never tried it before.
One of the seeds didn’t end up sprouting. Germinated and plant a 3rd sour stomper auto.
The one plant that did sprout seems to be growing well. I’m not sure if it is stretching too much as it seems pretty floppy.
I switched the light timer to 20 hours
I noticed that plant one started pre flowering, so I gave it 3 tbs Gaia green fertilizer and 2 tbs Gaia green bloom 2-8-4. I’ve noticed some leaves doing a claw, I’m concerned I fed too soon, not seeing much colour change.
Since my last update I have done a complete 180 on lst, I am now tying down almost all the branches, I have no idea if I’m doing this right but I think I’m getting a lot more light to the lower bits.
So I totally overfed plant one and I’m pretty sure it had some gnarly nitrogen toxicity, I ended up flushing it, some of the new growth seems to be looking healthy but im not sure how this plant will turn out. Buds look like they’re developing well, with the lst there are a ton of bud sites getting unobstructed light.
I turned my light to 100%, top buds are about 16” away from the light. ppfd is at 950 at the top bud site and around 600 at the lowest, about 550-600 ppfd on seed 3.
Seed three starting to show flowering early just like seed one, showing around day 24.
Seed one leaves are all clawing except for the new growth. Buds seem to be developing well, has a nice sweet smell to it.
Seed three is starting to flower around day 30 similar to seed one. Doesn’t seem to be stretching as much as seed one, I haven’t added any fertilizer or bloom to this plant yet so maybe that’s why. I’m concerned about overfeeding this one too.
Seed three has some leaves with decaying tips?
With the dropping temperatures I’ve been struggling keeping my humidity above 50%, I’ve gotten a humidifier and put it outside the tent, hopefully that helps a bit.
Noticed some yellowing on seed ones flowers, I think it’s in need of nutrients. I gave it two tablespoons of 2-8-4 Gaia green bloom, hopefully that will remedy it.
I’ve never ph’d water up until this week. Water from the tap after sitting 24 hrs with a bit of calmag was ~7.5, dropped it down to 6.3-6.5 for the two waterings it got this week.
I also gave seed 3 two tablespoons 2-8-4 Gaia green bloom as I haven’t given this plant anything since sprout.
I’ve noticed quite a few gnats flying around in the tent which I don’t like. I got a bunch of the yellow stickies that seem to be catching a bunch. I think I overwatered, but not sure what caused all these fuckers, I’ve pointed the fan more directly at the dirt.
Buds on seed one are continuing to develop well, looking super frosty so far.
