Same setup as before. Finally got some CalMag and Great White and added the supplements to my soil already.
Gonna try to do it right this time. Let's go!
- Day 1 she actually sprouted since yesterday but she was looking a little deformed due to her seed casing dropping off a bit too early. Here she is tho. Looking a bit weird but fingers crossed she recovers.
- Day 2 looks like she's growing despite her deformation but I'll keep monitoring her.
- Day 3 she's powering through. Think I've finally nailed down the watering in large pots for seedlings. Let's hope she continues to grow nicely.
- Day 4 happy with her progress so far. Definitely fairing better than her older siblings.
- Day 5 she's all good today. Gave her 1L of plain watering. Gonna start on her stims next week.
- Day 6 not much progress today. Was hoping for more growth but oh well.
- Day 7 seems to have slowed down. Gonna try to germinate in solo cups next and transplant to see if I can control her watering better.
- Day 8 slow growth so far. She's still coming along tho. Gonna give her too stims this week.
- Day 9 she's still growing slowly. Gave her 1L of stims today and made sure to keep the majority about an inch away form the stem in a circular pattern.
- Day 10 still slow :(
- Day 11 1L plain watering today and I eat the majority of the water in a circular pattern away from the main stem. Let's see how she reacts. Not my luck with this strain.
- Day 12 not looking good. True leaves are starting to yellow. I don't know if she can be saved :(
- Day 13 trying to mist her now. We'll see how she goes.
- Day 14 no change. Pretty much given up at this point but I'll see how she goes until I get new beans.
Any tips for watering during the seedling stage right after germination? I keep either overwatering or underwatering. I'm scared to start in a solo cup as I'm doing mainly Autos and they might stunt the growth when transplanting. Grateful for as many details as possible.
I don't measure the exact amount of water I am giving to them at that early stage but it is equivalent to 10 ml each time I water so I water less but more often . You can start in a solo cup and then place it into you final pot after a full germination, the only negative part of that method will be to (maybe) loose some time because of that transplant ( from the solo cup to the final pot ) 😊✌️🏼
- Day 15 no change. I'm basically just waiting for her to commit sepuku now.
- Day 16 might be tripping but I think she's grown a little bit.
- Day 17 looks like my patience paid off and thanks in part to @Mr_Weeds_Autos for the advice. Looks like she's growing after just misting. Complete change of tactics for seedlings for my next grows tho.
- Day 18 she's growing! Turns out she's a fighter this one.
- Day 19 stunted again.
- Day 20 gave her 500ml of plain water today and kept most of it away from the stem. Let's see how she reacts
- Day 21 still growing surprisingly.
- Day 22 still deciding if I should let her do her thing or start over. If she doesn't have any major change by next week I'll end her run.
- Day 23 0.5L watering. Can't wait to try the new method of watering seedlings on my next grow.
- Day 24 growing slowly. Gave her a little more water today.
- Day 25 just won't die this one. 0.5L watering today.
- Day 26 gave her another 0.5L watering in the morning. She's starting to look better.
- Day 27 soil was dry today so I gave her 1L watering with stims and some mycos. Let's see how she does.
- Day 28 all good
- Day 29 1L plain watering today.
- Day 30 all good
- Day 31 1L plain watering today. She's looking a bit droopy and small but I'm not surprised cuz she was stunted for so long
- Day 32 all is well.
- Day 33 1L watering with nutes and mycos today.
- Day 34 all is well.
- Day 35 1L plain watering today. She's going well tho.
- Day 36 all good
- Day 37 1L plain watering today. She's looking good tho. Consider this the start of week 3 in terms of veg
- Day 38 all good
- Day 39 1L plain watering and some LST today. Hope she recovers from the nearly a month of constant fuck ups on my part
- Day 40 main stem was stressed too much so I removed the training.
- Day 41 1L watering with nutes and mycos. She's a bit droopy cuz there was a power cut today.
- Day 42 all is well
- Day 43 1L plain watering today. She's looking a bit droopy. Might be because she's about to flower. If so I'll up the watering in 2 days.
- Day 44 decided to LST her again as I was scared of her stretching too much. Let's see how she goes.
- Day 45 she's recovered nicely. Gave her 1L plain watering.
- Day 46 a little droopy today.
- Day 47 1L plain watering today
- Day 48 another 1L plain watering today as she was looking droopy. We'll see how she is tomorrow.
- Day 49 picked up this morning but was droopy by the afternoon so I gave her 2L watering with bloom nutes, mycos and calmag. Pistils have started to show.
- Day 50 she's taken the 2L watering well. My mistake for not knowing she was starting to flower. She's perked up nicely.
- Day 51 2L plain watering today. She's looking good and starting her stretch
- Day 52 all is well
- Day 53 2L plain watering and a bit of LST today. She's looking good tho
- Day 54 she's looking a bit droopy today but that seems to happen to all my grows so I'm not too bothered.
- Day 55 she had perked up by morning but in the afternoon she had drooped again cuz she was thirsty. Gave her a 2L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag.
- Day 56 all is well
- Day 57 2L plain watering today. She's proper stretching now.
- Day 58 bit more defoliation today but she's doing really well so far
- Day 59 2L plain watering today. She's looking great tho. Gonna keep the nutes low to see if I can avoid nute burn this time.
- Day 60 all good
- Day 61 2L plain watering today.
- Day 62 all good. Slightly droopy
- Day 63 2L watering with nutes, calmag and mycos
- Day 64 all is well
- Day 65 2L plain watering today
- Day 66 top most leaves looking a little pale. Gave her a last defoliation too.
- Day 67 2L plain watering today
- Day 68 all good
- Day 69 2L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag today
- Day 70 all good
- Day 71 2L plain watering today. Some brown rusty spots appearing on the leaves so might need more calmag in the future
- Day 72 all is well. She's starting to smell really piney
- Day 73 2L plain watering today.
- Day 74 all good
- Day 75 2L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag today.
- Day 76 all good
- Day 77 2L plain watering today and some defoliation.
- Day 78 all good. She's fattening up nicely and smelling piney already.
- Day 79 2L plain watering today.
- Day 80 all good. Saw a little bit of white powdery mold on one bud and some leaves so I've cut out the affected area and hope I've contained the spread. Never had this issue before with the Airflow and temp being optimal so I'll keep monitoring.
- Day 81 2L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag today. No more visible signs of white powdery mold so I'm hoping I managed to eliminate it. Touch wood :)
- Day 82 all good. She's super frosty!
- Day 83 2L plain watering today.
- Day 84 all good
- Day 85 2L plain watering today. Looking good tho. Harvest next week.
- Day 87 missed a day. 2L watering with nutes, mycos and calmag today. Harvest next week so this is her last feed. Looking fat tho
- Day 88 all good
- Day 89 2L plain watering today. She's smelling so piney and pungent. Can't wait.
- Day 90 all is well
- Day 91 2L plain watering today
- Day 92 all good. Gonna harvest this weekend after I confirm it's 100% milky trichs
- Day 93 looking good. Gonna harvest today as all trichs are milky.
Just chopped her today. Smelling super piney and almost tropical? I will give a better report once the buds have dried. Such fat buds and sooo sticky it's insane. I see where the glue bit comes through.
Update: so the buds are all dried and been trying a few testers during the process. Initially I smoked a couple of popcorn buds and I have to say I wasn't that impressed. The flavors of pine didn't really come through and the high was mediocre at best.
However, my opinion was soon changed after I tried another bud the next day. All I gotta say is wow.... The scissors were super sticky as per all the reviews, she's a very resinous plant and the smell after the chopping was insane. So much piney smell in the air I thought I was walking through a pine forrest.
The high is definitely more indica as I was knocked on my ass for a good two hours unable to move.
The only downside is that your mouth gets super dry and your eyes a lovely shade of red.
Apart from that I have to say I really enjoy this smoke and will definitely grow it again in the future.
She's a very easy girl to grow despite my numerous mistakes when germinating and watering. I thought for sure she was a goner but she turned around quite nicely. At least she's helped me figure out where I'm going wrong and I have now improved my techniques.
@ Gr33nFi3ld To help with the question about watering after germination, seedlings that young don't require much water , so they'll actually be fine with a few mistings a day. On Day 4 from seed I normally give the seedling it's first official watering and only 250 ML. Then after that only water when the top inch of soil is dry. This method ensures your not over watering while making sure the plant gets enough water to survive.
@Mr_Weeds_Autos, thanks buddy! Seems like she's recovering slowly. I'm hoping she vegs' an extra week or two cuz of this set back but who knows. Fingers crossed!
@Gr33nFi3ld, She can definitely be, she just need's some TLC to get back on track, I did this to very first plant and after she got out of funk of stressing out she got back to growing normal, I will say it can effect your yield though since it's a auto and they have a very tight growth timeline. Trust me, show her some love and she'll love you back at harvest time. Lol.
Stop watering so much whenever my small plants stunt I starve them I believe yours are flooded and your roots can't breathe try letting the soil completely dry out don't worry your plant will be fine you will know if you have gone to far. Wait until that pot is as light as air and the soil extremely dry. Then just water around the plant probably 10ml or less also hold off on all the nutes they are hella burnt they will grab what the need to grow from the soil. Remember less love during this stage means happier plants
@ivik80, both were germed at the same time. They should be ready in another 3 weeks ish? The more recent ones are the strawberry nuggets and the GGG2. All 4 I used the solo cup method and had no issues!
Hey, start in solo cup, you wont regret it, the only time you will loose time due to transplant is if you let the tap root go all the way down in the cup and it has no more room to grow.
After 3-4 days in cup I would start checking the tap root, you can gently take the plant out from the cup and check roots each day or twice a day, as soon as they start coming out of the bottom or you see a lot of roots around the sides of the cup you need to transplant.
If you do this, there will be no "down time".
My last grow, after transplant, they grow taller the very next day, it was as nothing has happened.
But the important part when it comes to autos is the tap root, it does not like to be hindered in anyway.
What I do is I prepare a cup with the same soil I will use in final pot, I add mycos and water the cup until runoff, make sure you have many holes at the bottom!
And the next day I will add the germinated seeds, this way the soil is moist but not wet.
And you will need some sort of propagator, either buy one or create your own, you need to keep the environment moist and warm.
Then you will only need to water perhaps 1 time before transplant time.
Also another tip is to water a bit the day before transplant, now sometimes its hard to know when that day is, no problem, just water 1 hour before transplant so the soil is moist and sticky, it will make transplant much easier, otherwise the soil can brake in different parts and take some root with it.
I also add mykos again when I transplant.
@ivik80, hey man. Woah! Thanks for the advice! That's a very detailed explanation and I will certainly use that info for future grows. Fortunately I have started using solo cups and then transplanting.
Check out my 4 latest girls. I started all of them in solo and then transplanted.
One of them I didn't use the same soil as the final pot, which then hindered it a bit when growing after transplanting but she's doing great now. She's the 24 carat.
It really does help with the watering tho. I will try and water the solo cup til runoff next time before putting the Germinated Seeds. Good idea man.
Thanks again for the advice!
Jah bless
I saw you had issues with watering and seedlings. I had those issues as well, the trick is giving really low amount. Something like 1-2dl only each day or each other day.
For this grow I went with solo cups. So far it seems to be much better. For now first week is up here. I will add info about second week in couple of days. I had it in cups for about 7 days. Checked roots each day and as soon as there were some sticking out of bottom and sides I moved to final pot.
That was when they all had their second sets of leaf's and about 5-7cm in height.
I made sure to water cups with 2ml root juice and use mykos the day before I planted seeds in cups. So the cups had soil which was moisted but not wet. And then I misted 3-5 times each day. After about 5 days they got 1dl each with root juice again.
The cups were in a humidity dome but you could use another cup on top as dome.
That was it. The transplant went smooth, could gave gone better. The soil was a bit to dry. The trick is to water little bit the day before so the soil sticks together and it makes transplanting much easier.
Also always transplant to same soil and water gently the entire soil after transplant. Again only with root juice. Nutes still not needed when they are so young.
And important to make the transplant just before dark period so it can rest in the new soil. Just make sure its warm temp and high humidity. Follow vpd chart for seedling/early veg. And give at least 6h darkness the first couple of nights after transplant and then slowly work back to 20/4 or 24/0, which ever u like...
@ivik80, hey man. Yeah I had a lot of problems watering seedlings but I think I've managed to control it better by starting out in solo cups then transplanting. Worked out well on my forum stomper.
Thanks for the advice tho. Good luck with your new grow!
Hey mate,
I'm using the same line af nutes as you do and I also do autos.
I noticed something which will help you in the future. BioHeaven has some N in it, not much but enough to burn seedlings.
I also used 1-2ml BioHeaven with seedling and they will get burned, I would try not to give any nutes the first 2 weeks, next time I will try to stay away until third week or when I see some signs of hunger.
It's hard but it seems to be much better they show signs of hunger then overfeeding.
Of course it depends which soil you are using, I use LightMix from BioBizz and it seems to have enough nutes for the first 2-3 weeks.
I would only do RootJuice and little AlgAMic if needed and perhaps little calmag, but try to use calmag without any N, some of the different CalMag bottles have NPK like 4-0-0 and that will also burn autos at a young age, even when they are older they can burn since you already give N using BioGrow.
The feeding you gave this week if ratio is correct will give you NPK: 6-2-2
I would keep seedlings at 4-2-4 if even that, if you use BioBizz soil, try to use only Root Juice first 2 weeks, and start with BioGrow or FishMix week 3, even better if you wait until you see any hunger.
@ivik80, hey man. Thanks for the info! I had no idea bio heaven has N in it. That explains why it was burning so young. Thought it was strictly stims for the plant.
I'll make sure to keep the bio heaven to a minimal after the first week. I usually find the root juice does help a lot tho but then again so does the great white. Great stuff Btw if your transplanting or just want to get your roots going crazy. The roots from my green crack were insane an filled up the pot entirely!
The Roots Organics Elemental Calmag has very very little nutes in it, something like 0.25 to 0.5 so definitely worth checking out especially if you're using LEDs. It's an organic soil amendment that can be used as a water solution if you prefer but now I premix my soil with it beforehand as per the instructions then I add more via watering round week 4 or 5 just before flowering.
Unfortunately I'm not using Biobizz soil because it's not available so I made my own peat moss, perlite, cow manure and humice soil mix with a bit of gravel thrown in for extra aeration and it seems to be okay for now. Gonna be getting some Nectar of the gods in the future to add that and make a super soil mix for future grows. Then I'll have the Biobizz to compliment it if I find the plants need a feed.
Thanks again for your very detailed information man. Really appreciate it.
If you could check out my other grows and see what I'm doing wrong that would be awesome, but only if you have time.
Good luck with your grows.
Jah bless.
Tip for watering with the seedling: I‘m waiting, till the first 2 cm of soil are completely dry. (Fingertest).
If it is dry, then i‘m sprinkling with an spray-bottle little bit of water around the the seedling and also the seedling himself, that he is wet (it’s like a light rain in reality) I’m doing this once per day maximum. Maybe better, to do this every 2nd day, depends on the temperature in te environment.
If you stick your finger deeper in the soil (approx. 3-5 cm) you can feel, that the soil remains humid there for a few days. So long the soil is moist there, it is no need for watering. That‘s my way, but don‘t know, if it‘s completely right. For me, this kind of watering during seedling-state works fine. Wish you good luck!
@@DaveG, thanks for the info man! I usually do the finger test when they are a bit bigger but good to know it's useful in seedling stage. I'm gonna need all the luck I can get for this one :)
Not sure which soil you use but if you use BioBizz Light Mix it has enough nutes in it to get you going for several weeks, at least for autos.
The BioHeaven you feed has N in it, not much but enough to burn autos when the soil already has nutes.
I only give Root juice for the first 2 weeks and the gently start with nutes.
@Gr33nFi3ld, yeah i can, plants can get shocked if you water too cold, and the watering affects the substrate temperature which does affect growth for sure. you dont really want to be above 21 that's why
@CRiSPrGrow, hey man. I'll try but it's a really hot climate here so I'll try and keep the water as cool as possible. Does the water temp affect it a lot?
@Mr_Weeds_Autos thanks for the info buddy. Was gonna try and use the two cup method and then transplant it. Basically it's cutting the sides and the bottom out of one cup and placing it in the other so that when it's time to transplant it doesn't disturb the roots as much. It's weird cuz my first three I didn't have a problem. So I'm proper stumped now.
