I placed the seed in a wet paper towel for 24h until I saw a taproot of around 1cm in length.
I prepared a 15L fabric pot and filled it with BioBizz Light Mix to the brim. Because I plan on only using RO water, I added two scoops (around 20g-ish) of Green House Feeding Bio Bloom. Light Mix already contains some amount of nitrogen and most of my previous grows struggled with N tox in veg. This is mainly an experimental run to see if this works. I also added some Dynomyco to the potting hole and placed a humidity dome above the seed. I also watered the general area around the seed with 250ml.
The seedling poked through the soil after roughly 1.5 days. I didn't water it immediately to allow the roots to do their thing. I count this as day 1.
On day 3 I watered with 350ml of water and on day 5 with another 450ml. The plant is growing pretty well but I think I left a water droplet on one of the leaves and caused it to get burned a bit. Shit happens, she's still going strong
To conclude the week, it doesn't seem like the soil is too hot and I hope the synthetic calmag will do its best to keep those nasty rust spots away.
I watered with around 600ml of just RO + CalMag on day 8. So far the plant is growing quite well even though I was dealing with periods of very low humidity. Sometimes it would drop from close to 80% all the way down to below 40%.
I'm thinking about topping the plant instead of just doing LST. It should be big enough around day 11 or so, we'll see.
I topped the plant on day 11 and finally managed to fix the humidity issues. The plant was sitting at 27°C with humidity as low as 30% for hours at a time. I'm running a humidifier next to my tents now to help the plants out a bit and the leaves appear to be praying again. Overall this was something completely avoidable, I was just too lazy to deal with it immediately. I don't think it hurt the plant too much as it's still growing well for the most part. The older leaves look somewhat unhappy but that's to be expected from a plant in early veg getting tortured with low humidity.
I watered with 1L on day 12 and did some basic LST on day 13 or so
I watered with 1.6L on day 15 and kept up doing a bit more LST each day to make sure the plant receives an even amount of light. I still struggle with low humidity for a bit because I moved the plant into my big tent with some plants in mid to late flower a few days ago. I also unplugged my humidifier by accident so that's nice, got it running again but the plants were sitting at low rh all day :))). The plant is still growing well but there are some blemishes on some of the leaves.
I see ur trying a thing I tried before with Botanicare pure blend bloom nutrients instead of the grow due to the n tox it did work fine for me on the ones I did.. I'd still be using the Botanicare if I wasn't messing around with these growdots lately. But good luck with this one !!
