My first grow in a box

Kielon420 My plants have stretched too much, so I put more soil in the cups to keep them standing strong in the breeze. I put the plastic ‘pots’ inside paper cups with black tape, to keep the roots in the shade. I also cut the bottoms of the paper cups to let the air under the soil to circulate. They were growing slowly, but I’m slowly trying to imrove their environment. One of them was turning her leaves down, but seems to be recovering. So far no nutrients, only water. I try to test the ph before every feeding, because my water seems to be changing its ph by about ~1, when sitting for a few days Day 13: Transplanted them into 5 gal (19L) fabric pots. The middle seedling has lost a bit of its roots in the process. They just ripped off when a chunk of soil decided to separate when I pulled them out of the cups. Waiting for her to regenerate. I sadly don’t have nothing to help the roots develop faster. Day 14: The yellow spots don’t seem to go away. I’m a little worried. Thinking about giving them some bio•grow after two days.

Kielon420 First nutrients on day 16, because the leaves began to look flawed. Next time I’ll add some Cal•Mag as well. Increased the light intensity to ~350 ppfd on day 18.

Kielon420 Leaves are accelerating the growth. No more obvious signs of deficiency.

Kielon420 Trying to keep the conditions steady. The seem to be growing faster, they really like the fertilizer. All 3 have 4 nodes, but the bottom true leaves seem to be dying. Might have been inappropriate ph earlier. Day 25: The plants started to smell, although it’s weak Day 28: The fifth node is developing nicely. I think I’ll top them soon, maybe except the little one. It doesn’t seem to be growing well so far.

Kielon420 Day 30: Watered without any fertilisers or sugars. Growing very nicely, except the left one seems dwarfy. Day 32: Topped two plants.

Kielon420 I have removed a lot of leaves, because the plants looked too bushy. Might have been a mistake. Also: I began LST on 2 plants. I topped the third one The soil got compacted from watering, so I put some more on top

Kielon420 Topping went well I guess. Testing different tools for LST
