First week has been a ride! Started 3 seeds in Rapid Rooters in a propagation dome with a seedling heatpad. All 3 seeds sprouted and I put the best looking 2 into the DWC buckets. One sprout had the taproot coming out of the side of the rapid rooter. So I put him in the DWC bucket 1 day ahead. The Sprouts were pretty yellow but after only 1 day in the buckets and the HLG 320XL light, the sprouts started looking a million times better and a nice green colour.
Completely mis-read my nutrient schedule and accidentally gave them nutrients for the first week! :o So that’s clearly why I got nute burn on the first set of leaves. And probably stunted the growth a little bit? As soon as I noticed the nute burn I removed about a half gallon of the water and replaced with straight ph’d water and things didn’t get worse so I left as-is and will restart the nutrient schedule when I change the reservoirs. Probably Sunday or Monday.
Is that picture with the tape the super cropping? I love watching how they grow around training, it makes me want to try weird shit and see what happens.
@CraigGrowsOK, Yep! My first time super cropping and I'm actually very impressed with how those buds are turning out. I was mostly panicking cause they were growing too fast and just decided to give it a go rather than loose em. Haha but they turned out better than expected and it's super fascinating watching the plant correct itself. The top cola buds and fan leaves were all facing upright again after only 10hr. I think next grow I'm going to do a scrog and see if I can't get that nice flat canopy.
I really appreciate you putting those corpse like plant pics up. Every other growers plants I look at are beautiful. I have been trying for nearly 3 years now & am only starting to get nice results. I'm glad u got a decent harvest & bless your honesty. I was sold 'auto' seeds but they turned out to be simply feminized, still photosensitive(is that the right word). Anyway I'm standing around, dick in hand, waiting for the pistils to appear after 4 or 5 weeks as they are supposed to....... & I waited, & I waited....I finally twigged that there were no pistils at all even tho they appeared to be girls (there were no ghoulies at least).
SO...I put them onto 12/12 cycle & whattya know, pretty little bunches of pistils start to appear....& lots too. Dodgy seed sellers! SI was spewing as my previous seed order got seized before even getting into Australia & I found these for sale locally. Just need to keep an eye on them. I am inspired to do a diary now. Nice job.😁
