Germination
a month ago
Nina germinated in 6 days. Pinta took a while. To activate the substrate (mycorrhiza and rhizobacter) I wet the soil too much. Low temperatures (mid-January) and soil too wet caused a decidedly slow growth.

Too wet soil and errors with brightness (set at 50% for an entire day too early) have caused a decidedly slow growth. Maybe even turning on the fan was a mistake. I bought a heating mat for temperature and wet soil. Nina has developed cotyledons and first clawed leaflets, a sign of soil that is too wet. Other leaves are popping up and seem to be in good condition. Pinta is tiny, had difficulty getting rid of the seed and was poorly protected from light, and a cotyledon has hardened. The other one hasn't completely rid himself from the inside of the seed. It is therefore just 2 cm tall, but it is developing its first leaves. Resilient. Santa Maria was planted in a plastic cup. UPDATE: Nina is taking root and doing just fine. Pinta is still alive, but seemly not growing.

Nina is doing just fine, now growing quickly. Pinta still holding back, the leaves start to get yellowish. I have little hope for her. No sight of Santa Maria. Update 04/02: Moved some soil from Pinta's to Nina's pouch. The soil in Pinta's pouch was completly wet. Pinta shows some signs that maybe, some leaves are growing. Nina's doing great. Update 06/02: Started with the nutrients and molasses (1 teaspoon for 1 liter). Nina's growing all right. Pinta's still alive. There's still hope for her. Santa Maria is lost. Update 08/02: Nina has been topped today. Pinta is morphing into some lovecraftian being from outer space.

10/02: Realized yesterday I added the "first week of flowering" nutrients last week. Oh well, I'm stupid. Nina seems to respond well to topping. Today I did some LST on the upper branches. Doses for the week: 400-500 ml every 72 h. Lights at 60% at 30 cm. 13/02: Did some LST on the lower branches. 16/02: first signs of blooming on Nina. I thought there would be some more time, but that's ok. She's small, but the branch structure seems fine. Did some LST and defoliation. Next week I'll add the blooming nutrients. Cronenberg Pinta still alive and cronenberging.

First week of Bloom for Nina. Added bloom nutrients and some Cal-Mag. Did a little LST and lollipopping on the smaller branches. Lights at 30cm at 75%. Cronenberg Pinta still developing into some lovecraftian horror. Update 21/02: Nina is quickly growing. Canopy still seemly on point. Pinta is now bigger and almost resembles a proper plant.
