So far so good. Had some concerns about growth rate as other pictures I've seen after a week have more leaves/nodes. Plants appear to be healthy other than some strange coloring on the BF Dos si dos.
Halfway through week 2. Still completely unsure on how much/often I should be watering. Can't tell if the leaves are drooping or if it's overwatered/underwatered. Sprayed 6.5 PH water on top to soak at least the top few inches of soil of 3 gallon pots and also put a decent amount of water in trays to have the bottom of the fabric pots soak in water from underneath.
The dos si dos first true leaves seem to have some curling downward on the some of the sides of the leaves. Is this a concern? Also, does the color look ok on the leaves? I think it overall looks healthy but can't tell if I may be over/under watering.
She looks perfectly healthy. Look on the new growth it’s perfect.
Old leaves and old growth can easily get weird looking. In the flowering stage the big old leaves can get very dark because of too much nitrogen in them. But if the new growth looks like this there is nothing to worry about then you know she’s healthy.
You want the new growth to be fresh and a little lighter in the color than the rest of the plant.
Good luck my friend! I can’t wait to watch this girl grow up 😎
Haven't watered in 3 days. The soil dry on top but darker a few inches down and feels cold/slightly damp. Not sure if that is considered "wet" still. The larger leaves are almost touching the soil. I'm just trying to be extra cautious not to overwater but still learning the plant
High Khando, this drooping does show the lack of oxygen at the roots. You can prevent this issue by only watering at the outside of the pot and not too close to the plant. When you do this the plant has enough water at the outside of the pot and enough oxygen at the center of the pot. This will solve the drooping. Happy Growing Buddy! 💚
Start of week 3, worried they might be growing a little slower these last couple days.
Day 15 PM: Triks was starting to really droop. Really dug down into the soil and realized it was very dry, the pot was very light when picking it up. I have been super worried about overwatering but hadn't really considered that it may actually need water. I watered probably .5 gallon water for each plant and used some on the bottom to soak underneath the fabric pot and it sucked it all up. The results the next morning and today are the plant has completely rebounded and the leaf stems are straight again, and the leaves really perked back up. Expecting I probably won't need to water again for a while and the pot is very heavy with water.
Day 17: Started LST on Triks. Used one wire to support the base of the stem and stuck another U shaped wire vertically into the soil to pull the stem down at a 90 degree angle toward the soil. This is my first time, so I'm sure I will need to readjust things as the plant grows. It's already completely shifted after 6 hours to try to point toward the light again.
Day 21: Updated LST on Triks. Main stem had grown a couple more inches so I moved the wire more toward the top to continue holding the main stem horizontal, parallel to the soil.
Day 22: Continuing to readjust the LST on Triks as it grows. Attempting to keep main stem horizontal.
Day 24: Noticing some stretching happening now, hoping they will start to get a lot bigger soon now that they are maturing and showing pistils.
Day 26: More LST on Triks, staked down a few side branches to get more light and spread out.
Day 28: Added some anchoring to Dos si dos to pull side branches out more to get more light.
This Dos si dos Auto has been struggling over the last couple weeks with upper leaves turning purple and drying out/breaking apart. The buds also look strange to me but that may just be from my inexperience. I'm growing in organic soil and have dry amended twice, 18 days apart.
Hello mate, the leaves seem very cruncy and the burns are sing of Ca problem, to be more precise signs of bad Ca/Mg ratio in your water. When you feed with organic way you must know what is the Ca/Mg ratio in your tap water because if that is out of range 3:1 or 4:1 (Ca:Mg) you will have different problems caused by pH fluctuations showing signs of different problems at the same time, making difficult to recognize the real reason.
