New round, this time we decided to try some 1:1 - 1:3 THC:CBD variants. Germination same as last time, about 24h in 1% h2o2 solution, then eazyplug, then 0.3l pot.
All of them had opened after not even 24h of soaking, two of them struggled a bit when leaving the eazyplug and grew upside down (root came out on top of the eazyplug), so I turned them over.
I am going to use a mix of 4:1:3 (old soil, new soil, perlite) as substrate this time, nutrients will be the Canna line again.
Pretty uneventful so far, the seedlings are growing. Humidity could be higher, I guess. Light is at 40%.
I am planning on moving the plants over into the Autopots maybe in the coming week, maybe the week after.
In the green box are still some clones from the previous run, which are just being kept alive at the moment in case one of them is a keeper, but they will move to a different place when the seedlings are transplanted into the Autopots.
I've been a bit hands off this week again. The Black Jack and NYC started to get a little yellow at the bottom, so I could have probably started feeding more a couple of days earlier, but I didn't notice until I was ready to turn on the AutoPots.
The reservoir was filled with 20l, and I can already see a growth spike starting. I'll probably top them all in the next few days and flip to flower shortly after.
On the first day of this week, I topped the plants after the 5th node. 3 days later I switched to 12/12.
The reservoir wasn't quite empty yet, so I didn't fill it this week, but I probably will at the start of the next one.
Plants are growing quickly now, the yellowing in the BJ and NYC has also pretty much recovered, nutes seem to be fine at the moment. I fear they might grow taller than I'd like them to, but I guess we'll see. I just hope I don't have to put in the net this time, as I like to reserve the option of taking them out of the tent. I also bought an RO filter, which I am probably going to use the next time I fill the reservoir.
On the second day of this week, I filled the reservoir again. This time I have an RO filter available to deal with the tap water (EC 0.8mS). I mixed 10l of RO and 10l of tap, which netted a pH of 7 and an EC of just below 0.4. But of course I had to add more CalMag to make up for the filtered calcium. Even after adding all nutrients, the EC was still just shy of 1.5mS which surprised me a little, I was expecting to land closer to 1.7mS, so I am going to increase it a bit next time, probably to around 1.9mS.
The plants are in stretch, and they are indeed stretching quite a bit. NYC and SAD are the tallest right now, although the BJ has been catching up a bit recently. They are between around 45cm and 58cm tall, so overall not too much of a difference, which is also good, but I need to keep an eye on it as I would like to keep them below 70cm.
I have no plans to put a net in place at the moment, but this depends on the growth of the next week.
All of the plants have been showing preflowers around day 7-9 of flower. No signs of pollen sacs so far. Aside from one calcium-deficiency-lookalike type of leaf issue, which I suspect is something else, ther are no issues whatsoever, which makes me happy.
