Newbie Chrystal #4

I am a new grower and really looking forward to my first experience. I chose Chrystal from Nirvana my first try. I am learning a lot by making a journal so I started another one. I have Phlizon 600w. LED Veg. light going in a 3x3x5 tent. I went out after a few days and got a humidifier, a couple fans, and a charcoal filter. The seeds went into distilled water 24 hours and then into Rapid Rooter cubes. They finally sprouted on the 7th day and were 2" by day 8. By the third week I started using a 900w LED at 36"😀

😀 I have been pushing her leafs down a few times a day . She just keeps popping right back up. I do plan on re-potting Chris at the end of the week. I finally have the room pretty stable at 78-80 degrees and 60-65% humidity. I needed a humidifier on all the time in the tent along with a circulating heater outside the tent. She is sitting on the heat mat along side her friends, with a circulating fan above the canape. I also fed her twice with a small amount of Recharge, Grow Big, and Big Bloom and twice with plain water and Recharge. Both PH to 6.2. I have moved the light down to 30 inches. Being careful with the 900w. LED. I also have 4 more plants in the tent. She is looking pretty good. Excited to get a new little camera for next week and some close ups. 😎

😃Week 3......Noticed that the roots were kind of weak when I transplanted Chris on the 14 day. But I watered her with recharge and sent her good vibes. From what I read adding House and Gardens Amino treatment along with your nutrients will help the roots so I gave it a try. Wow a few days later she started sprouting out all kinds of new growth. Update….. Day 18 she looked great after the Amino treatment and is 4.5” tall so topped her at the 5th node and she recovered well. Update….Day 21 she had a lot of new growth and didn’t seem to be in shock at all I finally moved the lamp down to 23”. 😎

😀Week 4…...I have been doing LST on both girls every day and they seem to be getting bushy. On the 25 day I noticed some odd shaped holes in a couple fan leafs. I looked at it real good, and couldn’t find any bugs. Not sure what it could be. 😱😨 I also turned off the humidifier. Update …..Day 27 they got a feeding of 3 tsp. Big Bloom, 1.5 tsp. Grow Big. 3 ml. Cal mag. And 1 ml Amino treatment per gal. Gave her enough for a good run off. The nodes are on top of each other. Help…not sure if I should just let them grow and see what happens, or start bending them over. They are still so small. Only 4.5 inches 😊

Week 5…. day 30...5 “ tall. Had to bring in Bazinga Frog to watch over the crops this week, all hell is breaking loose.😳 This little girl is so bushy her little leaves are starting to get over crowded and get deformed. The internodes are very close together. I am afraid to bend her over, so I just keep tucking the leaves under. I raised the light up to 30” and have started dropping the day temperature from 77-80 during the day down to 70-71 at night. The humidity is 45% Maybe that will stretch her a bit. 😎 Update. Day 34...After a lot of research I thought I would try and clean this little girl up. Chrystal got a topping and some defoliation and I am hoping she starts growing a little better. Thank you all for your support.👏👍
