I bought 4 seeds from Blimburn a couple weeks ago, and only had 1 of 4 sprout. I took out the seeds and seedling from the soil, and planted these 4 seeds from FastBuds in their place.
I found someone's interpretation of a Cannakan online, and decided to print it out and give it a try. It leaked a very small amount of water over the 48h the seeds sat in there, but overall I'd say it did a great job germinating the seeds. I didn't use a coffee filter or anything to put under the seed, but they all popped just fine.
Each plant is in a 3g pot with 100% HP Promix. No additional nutrients were amended into the soil, but I did use a little bit of myco in each one. I'll be hand watering the plants for the first 10-14 days, and then I'll start filling the self-watering bases.
Hopefully the plants get to a good size within about 4 weeks of veg, maybe 5, because I want to scrog it out pretty low and switch to flower before they get too tall for the 5 foot tent.
Today is day 7 since the plants sprouted. I've been pretty hands-off this week since they're just starting out, and I've just been keeping the soil wet with plain water. Yesterday I had some leftover water with some CalMag and worm tea, so I used the last little bit to dampen the soil for these seedlings. This coming week I'll start using the General Hydroponics 3 part series for nutrients since I didn't amend the soil with any.
All the seedlings look healthy and happy. The only things I've noticed are some light spots on the leaves of #1, and #2 had the tips of the first leaves turn a little brown, but that didn't seem to get any worse. Right now #2 is the tallest at 3 inches, and #4 is the shortest at just under 2 inches.
Today is day 15 since the plants sprouted.
The past week was uneventful for the plants. I started using nutrients in my water this week, but only about ~400ppm. I use the General Hydroponics 3-part series so we'll see how the plants like it. I added water to the self-watering bases this week, so the plants should start hitting a big growth spurt in the next week or two.
Nothing too exciting to report this week in this tent.
Today is day 21 since the plants have sprouted.
Overall, things are chugging along nicely. I've been going a little hard on the nutrients apparently, because I'm seeing some claws/hooks forming on a couple of fan leaves. I'll give the plants some plain water this week and it should be fine. The plants have been getting around ~650ppm at 6.3-6.4ph, so when I feed them again I'll probably bring it down a touch.
Plant #1 has the furthest development so far with 3 nodes grown in and a 4th almost poking out. Plant #4 is the slowest in development with only 3 nodes grown in, and just now getting to the 4th. Plant #4 is also the shortest at 5.5 inches.
I filled the self-watering bases last week, but the plants haven't quite grown into them yet. Hopefully they'll get deeper roots over the course of this week.
Today is marks 28 days since the plants sprouted.
I topped all the plants yesterday so they have 4 nodes, and planted the tops in some cups for fun. My intention was to get a full scrog net with this tent, and get a relatively early flower, but I think I'm still going to have to wait closer to 5 weeks before flipping. I want the lowest node on each plant to be as high as where I cut the tops off, and plants #1 and #2 are pretty much there, but plant #3 is just behind them, and plant #4 is the runt of the litter. Plants #1-3 are about 8 inches tall, where as plant #4 is about 6 inches tall.
I've backed off on nutrients this week after noticing some claws/hooks forming on plants #1 and #2 last week. Unfortunately, that means I didn't get to add CalMag this week, and it's really showing on plant #3. I'm going to start back on the nutrients with the next watering, and I'll include CalMag, which should take care of future rust spots.
While plant #4 is the runt of the litter, it definitely has the best color and overall healthy appearance. I'll put up a scrog net in the next week or so, then flowering shortly after.
It's been 35 days since the plants sprouted, and everything seems to be going well.
There were some rust spots forming on a couple of the plants last week, with #3 getting the worst of it, and after adding some CalMag to the nutrient mix it appears to be fine. I made the nutrient mix a little stronger than I meant to at the beginning of this week, so a few of the plants have some leaves with yellow edges, but I gave them mostly plain water all week and it doesn't seem to be an issue.
I laid out the scrog net at the beginning of this week, and the plants have grow around it nicely. I'll probably flip to flower in a day or two. Once a few branches grow enough that I can put them under the next line in the scrog next I'll change the light schedule.
I've noticed that the self-watering bases I have the plants on aren't self-watering shit. I'm not sure why the water isn't absorbing into the pots, but it may have something to do with the HP Promix I'm using. Hopefully I figure that out because I'm too lazy to top water all the time.
The plants were watered a couple hours before I posted this, so excuse plant #2 being droopy.
