1 day in a paper towel, then into the rockwool and the Aerogarden for germination.
Seeding is looking good. I've been occasionally running a small floor fan from a distance simulating wind.
***** Special shout out to "Still_Smoq" here on grow diaries for the idea of the trellis system. Check out his fabulous grows! *****
Week 1
9/18/24 - 9/25/24
Overall looking well. Had a little bit of stretching but that was easily fixed after moving the seedling into its permanent home Mr 5 gallon bucket. I covered up some of the seedling with the hydration.
- Used 16 ml of Aerogarden plant food for now in 3.5 gl. PH'd down to 6.0
- EC 1.3
- running a small fan for air flow and stem strengthening training.
Week 2
Sept 26 - Oct 3
2024
10/3 - Feeding today at 3/4 strength. Plant looks healthy. No roots showing underneath the net pot as of yet.
*** Basing feed amounts on a 3.5 gal total water amount. ***
Week 3 Completed
------------
Oct 2 - 9th
-------------
Did a 3/4 feed on 10/7.
- Started small LST
- Changed to the Optic 1 light
General thoughts = No roots showing at the bottom of the net pot. Great air-stone bubbling so I know that the nutrients are reaching up into the hydroton. Awaiting for some healthy growth to start. I'm starting to wonder about the genetics of this plant??
Week 4 Completed
------------
Oct 10 - 16th
-------------
Did a 1/2 feed on 10/16.
- LST is slow but ongoing. Maybe start getting some more growth. Pondering if I should continue LST or allow the plant to grow upwards a bit??
- Roots starting to reach down into the water.
General thoughts = I think I will give this plant another 2 weeks to show some super increased growth, if still weak I will germinate another seed.
Week 5 Completed
------------
Oct 17 - 23rd
-------------
- LST is slow but ongoing.
- Still awaiting some more growth on this strain.
- Good roots showing well into the water.
- Conditions are good and water quality is solid.
General thoughts = Hmmm??
Week 6 Completed
------------
Oct 24 - 31st
-------------
- LST is slow but ongoing.
- Kyle Kushman chiropractic method on main stems.
- Growth is still slow on this strain.
- Good roots showing well into the water.
- Side note keeping a close eye on PH fluctuations. I've switched over to using RO water.
General thoughts = I have germinated another seed so there will be a GDP 2.0 diary soon.
Week 7 Completed
------------
Nov 01 - 08th
-------------
- LST is slow but ongoing.
- Kyle Kushman chiropractic method on main stems.
- Growth is still slow on this strain.
- Good roots showing well into the water.
- Side note keeping a close eye on PH fluctuations. I've switched over to using RO water.
General thoughts = I have germinated a 3rd and final seed so there will be a GDP 2.0 diary soon.... I hope!
*** I'm seriously considering contacting Royal Queen Seeds on this dud batch of poor seeds. I wonder if other growers whom purchased seeds from the same strain batch are having similar issues??? **
Week 8 Completed
------------
Nov 09 - 17th
-------------
- LST has stopped. I'm going to try and salvage as much as I can on this grow.
- Kyle Kushman chiropractic method on main stems.
- Growth is still slow on this strain.
- Good roots showing well into the water.
- Weekly RO water changes.
- Pre-Flower has started.
General thoughts = I have germinated a 3rd and final seed so there will be a GDP 2.0 diary soon.... I hope!
