Sown in root riot cube, little tap water and 23C battling RH around 50-60 😱 but it’s in a seedling dome. Small seedling that was sprouting upside down initially, split another root riot cube and put it inside right way up. Next day it sprouted with the seed shell and cotyledons. Been riding 22C in day with 55-60RH and 19C at night. VPD ranges 0.54-0.88 and PPFD 250 18/6
Been an ok week, put in clay pebbles and added a small amount of plain water to reservoir - it’s not touching yet as no roots are showing and have the pump on for air. As soon as roots show I’ll prepare a proper solution mix for the reservoir. Feeding now with pipette every now and then usually twice a day around 10ml with base nutes.
Been a steady week, filled reservoir with light solution of grow nutes only and waiting for roots to come down more.
In the next few days I’ll prepare a full solution (including beneficial bacteria) and fill the level higher so those roots come into contact with the water. I want them to stretch right now as the bubbles are popping into the bottom of the net pot.
She is staying quite short which is great as last grow I had stretched the seedling as light meter was calibrated incorrectly.
Another week and not much happened. Got the roots showing nice.
Further growth up top and more sets of leaves coming. Tight node spacing.
Prepared proper reservoir with grow nutes, bacteria and silicic acid.
Will flip to flower maybe in another week or two.
This week she grew a bit, staying low. Started to see signs of an issue. Lower leaves started to get a few brown spots and then turned a bit lighter, I think because I’ve been careful on the nutes she’s not getting enough food.
Changed the reservoir with bioponic grow a and b @ 2ml/l. EC around 0.9 and ph 5.8. Also added bactivator as usual.
Going to flip to flower in the next week latest. So I’ll slowly reduce the hours of light now each day so as not to get more stretch.
So this week I started to drop the light by an hour each day, and now on 12/12.
She stretched a bit and the leaves with the rust/brown spots have kind of stayed the course and not spreading to the newer leaves. Also the new shoots at the first few nodes are looking like they got away with it too.
I mixed up the start of the bloom nutes and used about 2ml/l of grow and 0.5ml/l bloom. Also added silica and calmag as per usual for 12l. Bactivator in there too, that’s why the roots look brownish. It’s not root rot, swear!!
Let’s see how much she stretches now we fully into flowering light cycles.
Another week of flowering done.
Stretched again and put the side bars up.
Feeding still very light, saw the tips burn a little so am running EC around 0.9 and dropped humidity.
This week went fine and I defoliated a small bit - couple of leaves here and there.
Definitely showing she’s in flower now and hopefully she’ll get a bit taller before thickening out.
Nothing much else happened this week.
Found out this week that two of the side shoots were growing fasciated so I removed them
Done some defoliating on a few of the shoots.
Stretching has definitely slowed
