Seeds were incredibly small and the seedlings took a little longer to pop out of the substrate, about 4 days. 3 seeds are in Solo cups with a single hole at the bottom of each cup and a clear cup with a single hole to act as the humidity dome until the seedlings started growing their first leaves and removed about 1 day after they surfaced. Tent is at around 73-77 Fahrenheit, 70-80% humidity. Watering substrate with a spray bottle when the top looks dry. 1-2 light sprays of water a day. Seedling growth seems slow, but on track for how small the seeds were.

Slow growing the first week of seedling stage. I watered when the cups felt light to the tough. I sometimes skipped an entire day without water. First leaves other than the original cotyledon leaves have grown but the entire plant remains very small compared to my last grow. I suspect it is from the extremely small seed size. Thought the seed was viable, I wonder if a more matured seed would yield a faster and larger seedling.

Potted up from a Solo cups to 6.25 Gallon Nursery Pots with pot risers and drip trays. The growing medium consists of Pro Mix HP, 26 lbs. of worms castings, Remington Rejuvenate 4-4-4 All-Purpose Fertilizer at 4 tsps. White Shark mycorrhizae on transplant roots. 2nd set of leaves have started. Cost of 7 Gal Pots (3 pots at 6.25 Gal): each. x3= Risers: .99 each. x3= Drip Trays: each. x3= Drip Tray Liners: .99 each. x3= Pro Mix HP: Worm Castings: for the mix + (for entire grow cycle top amendments and initial transfer. Rejuvenate 4-4-4: Total Investment in just the Pots Setup with mixed Growing Medium ran me about 8 + Tax. One Time Investment on pots, risers, trays: about , but should survive many grows.

Increased AC Infinity IonFrame Evo 4 to 50% light intensity and adjusted height to be around 500 ppfd. The plants enjoyed the adjustment and a lower humidity as they start to bush out.

The Plants are starting to bush out and stretch, the leaves are filling and still have room to expand. Having some issues with heating my grow tent as the dry air seems to be affecting some of the lower large fan leaves.

Some leaves have heat damage from my heat outside of the tent and a few times my humidifier ran out of water and the humidity dropped too low for a few hours. Otherwise, growth has exploded. I topped all 3 plants in the beginning of the week.

Defoliated, lollipopped, and removed trellis and clipped corner branches down with plant clips. I am antsy to start flowering soon. I will apply the trellis again a few weeks in to flower.

I wasn't happy with my trellis so I kept removing and then placing it back. I don't know if this was detrimental to my cause at all but I continued to add and remove the trellis all the way in flower until buds were starting to grow. Even then, I continue to move and manipulate the plants if they seem they could find a new opening elsewhere to gradually let the slightly lower bud sites get more exposure and trick the plant hormones. Once in flower the main colas hooked fast growing toward the light and become a little hard to bend back straight to go under the trellis at that point. Something to keep in mind next grow and adding a trellis at an earlier week in the vegetative stage.

My humidifier started crapping out and so I buy the most expensive one possible, of course, because I am an idiot 😀 15 liter AC Infinity Cloud Forge has been added to the gardening arsenal. Love the star-shape these pre-buds made.

Hopefully getting these photos in the right order. I did a thing... I removed all satellite branches from Plant 1 and moved it from the front to the back left corner. For Science!

I don't think these are in perfect order but this is March 13-18. I will come back and edit more soon. Gaia Green Power Bloom added. Potassium deficiency is becoming present, I believe due to the soil becoming too hot with microbial and chemical activity. Action? Stopped watering. I may bottom feed the pots if needed next watering, but would have to remove the trellis. Time will tell.

Potassium deficiency has lost some of the bottom leaves. The soil is too hot after adding more Gaia Green. The plants are not happy. Updates coming soon. March 22-2

Still hot soil, but buffering with ph'd water with CalMag and Yucca Extract wetting agent. Seems the plants with less vegetation are suffering a lockout the most. I may try to flush more heavily with ph'd water. I feel the plants will finish without too much of a problem, but what do I know. Suggestions welcomed.

So, I seem to keep having this problem where my soil becomes acidic and I am starting to think it is a combination of calmag leaching and accumulated organic deterioration. Does anyone here add dolomite lime to raise their ph in potted plants? Although watering helped one plant, the soil ph hasn't changed for the better in the back 2 pots.

Amazing! What was your ppfd (light intensity) brother at week 3 to 4 stage?

HazedNConfuzedcommented4 days ago

@Bas281, turn them down for a day and see if that helps. If the leaf position is praying after a day it means almost perfect lighting. Try 300-350 ppfd.

@HazedNConfuzed, yeah bro i got the same seeds from Barneys but started low stress training too esrly and now my plants allthpugh healthy thenstems are super hard and groeth is seriously slow.. in dwc as well.. ppfs is about 400 and temps and enviroment is good but i got a viparspectre ks3000 whoch hits alot of light but when uts hanging around 24 to 30 inches plants dont like.it.. raised it righ up to.top of the tent still had good 400 ppfs with light turned up started vegging abit better but i think the initial stress from training too early has caused them to not stretch up even a little Transplanted exactky 6 week ago into dwc system and roots hit the water around a week after transplant so say week 5 of veg amd this is where I'm stalled at

@Bas281, I would have to say around 250+ ppfd. 400 max. Most of veg was around 500 ppfd and I would just raise the light as they grew. However, my measuring devices are a phone app and a cheap gardening tool from amazon, so that may not be very accurate. If above 700 ppfd, the leaves don't seem to like it in my setup. Thanks for asking!
