40x30cm Euro-Box with wick watering, mostly compost as substrate with a bit of plant coal and chicken litter. The Skunk came out after 4 days, the Limon Blanco had grayish cotyledons and a crippled first pair of leaves, the Afghan lemon was a no-show so far.
The Skunk is doing well and the Limon blanco recovered from the initial struggles, so those were put into the box. The Afghan Lemon is still a no-show.
The Skunk, although just a day older, grew vastly larger due to the crippled start of LB. The Afghan lemon did not germinate initially after 10 days in humid soil, so I cracked the swollen yet still intact seed. Finally success 5 days later (15 days in soil). Had similar trouble with 2 other seeds of Afghan lemon, but both could be recovered with cracking the shell. Tough nuts!
The Limon Blanco is doing a lot better after the initial problems and was topped for the first time and the lowest pair of spouts removed. The Skunk is doing well after being topped 5 days ago, the Afghan Lemon is still 10 days behind, but growing a bit more each day.
Trying to slow down the Skunk by defoliating repeatedly. Apart from the difference in size a hassle free grow on good soil and wicks, no watering trouble or fertilizer.
A few mites, most likely Tarsonemidae, popped up. A shipment of predatory mites arrived shortly thereafter, and the threat was under control. Not much else, still brakes on the Skunk while waiting fo the Afghan lemon.
Getting there. The Limon blanco smells very nice of lemon, not a lot of scent to the other two . No fertilizer. A few flowers were pollinated with some frozen pollen of the summer season.
One cap of organic NPK 3,1-3,5-4, once. Hopefully the only time I need fertilizer. Loving the Limon Blanco, Skunk is getting there, Afghan Lemon still behind.
Nothing much to do, no fertilizer, just water in the tank. Limon Blanco is getting beautiful and smelling great, the Skunk is getting there, and the Afghan Lemon is still behind, but developing a very pleasant lemon scent.
Nothing much happened but a bit of water for the tank every five or so days. Now, at Flowering day 63, the Skunk was tried and found to be very pleasent as is, so it was cut down. Quite happy with how it turned out. Looking forward to the Limon Blanco!
