The very beginning of this diary with be lacking.
Had a lot going on over the past weeks and just didn’t keep good records.
I do know she sprouted 02/22/25 and she was popped directly into a 1 gallon of happy frog/perlite. Decided to go for a bigger pot to start with and see how that went.
There’s times I don’t even have pictures at all. It’s obvious to me that keeping these diaries is important to keep me on track.
So, yeah.. better late than never.
I’ve wanted to grow GDP since before I ever popped my first seed. I hope this will be a visually appealing example.
This is when she was 5 days old. Didn’t take pictures at end of full week.
I remember the conditions at the time were shit. Was struggling to keep it warm and the humidity was too low. Growth wasn’t great really then, so not too much missed.
My light was a jack ass as usual. The stem was stretching like mad with the thing being almost full blast and at like 12-13 inches away. Insanity.
I was only giving plain ph water every few days, as she wasn’t in a tiny pot.
This was mid week 2.
Things warmed up a bit- still not where they should have been. Humidity got better too at about 50%.
I had also given her some karma which I have to say, she seemed to really like and she started growing a lot almost immediately after having it.
Seems like she stopped trying to stretch to the light as much too. I guess getting taller actually got her to a high enough intensity.
Okay. We are about to get on track now.
This week will get us current and in real time.
03/14/25 made her 3 weeks. She had been topped which you can see in the first pictures. 4th node.
3/16/25. She is getting her first real npk feeding. She had previously had some liquid karma, a few waterings back.
She’s already branching out and skipped a 5 leaf node. She’s went from 1 to 3 to to 7 and now 9. Never seen 9 so early on. This girl seems like she’s gonna be a little beast.
She has a few friends and looks like a mammoth in comparison haha.
I honestly haven’t taken the best care of her these past weeks. Lots had been going on and then I got pretty sick. I’m on the mend now though and updates will, or should stay on track now.
Okay, that’s it til the regularly scheduled update. Thanks for loookin ✌️
03/27/25. Week 4
A few days late with this but on purpose. Wanted to just get her and her friend Han on the same day update.
Long story short, didn’t have things I needed to transplant into the bigger pot size I wanted, so she went a step up into a 2 gallon bucket for now.
She was getting shit looking in the 1 gallon and I assumed it was because she needed a transplant. I forgot to get pictures with Han, but I got it for this.
Watered her in thoroughly, and slowly, until run off- to make sure she was fully saturated. Next water I will give her nutrients as it looks like she’s definitely needing them.
I took off some lower leaves that got in the way of watering. I also had topped her again and plan on doing some lst after she’s settled in.
She looks more perky today, but definitely got even more shit going on with lower leaves, so that feeding can’t come soon enough. Her little roots were so cramped and dry when I transplanted her that I didn’t wanna just hit them with nutrients and risk burning.
Think that catches us up for now ✌️✌️
04/05/25
Not puttin a ton here cuz GD is fucked. Update probably won’t work anyway
If it does- needs put into new soil. Reused soil and it’s not a good thing atm.
04/12/25. Start of week 6.
This thing is rather large.. especially considering I’m not treating her very well atm. She needs to get into not shit soil for sure. She still looks pretty good and growing considering.
I did top her and put in some lst clips, but yeah.. really need to get it together and get her straightened out. Life keeps happening.
@Natrona, I think the peat breaking down in it caused acidity- then nutes added more. Should have added lime. Anyway, surprise (haha)I messed some shit up! LOL
