Day —6: I put each seed in their own glass of water and added 3 drops of hydrogen peroxide.
Day -5: both seeds have popped a tiny root.
Day -3: LSD 1 has a 10mm root while 2 only has a 7mm root, I decided to plant both anyways. I started them out in a coco and vermiculite mix under 180w of cfl lights which they are sharing with some clones I got from a friend.
Day 1: both seedlings popped.
Day 2: lowered cfls as close as is safe to stop the babies from stretching
Day 3: #2 has stopped stretching but #1 seems determined to be squiff regardless of where it’s cfl is 😅
Day 7: the stems have gone purple and the leaves are showing purple tints. This could be a result of cold, genetics (hopefully🤞🏼) or the babies are already hungry (kinda doubt it though). Gave them a light 100ml 1/3 strength feed with hortimix A and B. Not much I can do about the cold at the moment.
@Njanne, yeah it will be interesting to see. If you get those seeds soon we might even harvest around the same time 😄 I’d love to see that diary, from what I’ve seen auto LSD (LSD-25, right?) gets amazing colors
Hope you can manage your issues with your plants.
I'm not quite sure what kind of problem you have (bugs or lack of nutrients).
I dont think that its a PH problem because you said it spreads slowly... Nevertheless good luck for the following grow!
Keep growing 👍🏻
@GrowBeforeHoe, yeah I’ve been thinking about changing nutrients, I have no clue what I’d change to though 😅 I’ve also been thinking of getting a ppm meter, which I think would remove some of the guess work
@BensBuds,
Yeah a Neem spray is always a nice option against bugs!
Maybe you should change up the nutrience which youre using... Hydroponic systems are always a bit difficult because the water have to has always the right amount of nutes in it.
@GrowBeforeHoe, thanks man. I gave them a Neem pray today just as lights went out, so if it’s bugs that should help. Although to be honest I think it’s a nutrient issues. I’ve noticed that it’s spreading slower since I started giving them nutes again.
Hey Ben! Looking good, could you take some pictures of your hydro setup?
Also, what's with the Hydrogen Peroxide? First time I've seen that used as a nutrient.
@dancingshrubbery, I’ve been a bit of a lazy stoner so it’ll probably only be fully complete a few day before the seedlings are big enough to be put in the set up
@dancingshrubbery, I’m in the process of setting the flowering room up, don’t really want to takes pics of it till it’s looking good 😂 hydrogen peroxide isn’t a nutrient, it kills bacteria. I use it to stop anything growing on the seed shell. It’s not a very well known trick that can save lives, especially in a hydro set up
hey @bensbuds I got a quick question for ya hydro setup m8, I am currently growing the same strain with the same type of setup..... my question is, How would you cure root rot? Ik hydrogen peroxide would help but would that be the only thing to add in order to cure root rot?
@LilBud, I don’t think there is a cure for root rot, hydrogen peroxide helps prevent its spread. Once you have root rot your only hope is to cut off the sections with rot, give your system a good clean, up your hydrogen peroxide and pray 😅 In a hydro system that shit is like the plague, so your only hope is to prevent it by using HP and to spot it early. Some signs are smelly water (mine stank like someone took a shit in my system) and a massive drop in pH.
Sorry for the long message and late reply mate. Good luck with your grow, I’ve just harvested and these baby’s are beautiful 🔥🍁
