This is my first grow, so I was a bit nervous about getting everything right for the germination process. Everything went well, but one of my seedlings started to look shrivelled on day 3 and I was worried I’d have to bin that one, luckily on day 4 I saw the biggest turn around ever! All seedlings are looking very healthy today :)
So we are on day 18, I started with 9 seedlings, but now have 4 beautiful healthy plants. Unfortunately I left my seedlings in their tray outside and went out, and didn’t account for the day being so hot.. You can guess the rest :( live and learn!
Onwards we go anyhoo!
Spending 24 hours a day inside the greenhouse now, they are needing more water. I’m looking to start adding nutrients, if you’d like to sponsor my project dm me on Instagram ✌️💚
Trimmed bottom leaves this week and started miracle grow nutrients, feeding approx 1ml of miracle grow every 7 days ontop of the soil undiluted. Considering starting an all natural nutrient with one of the Big Bud plants, I’m going to look abit more into it but possibly a home made vegetable tea.
Big Bud 1 is 19cm tall, popping her 4th node. Bid Bud 2 is 15cm tall, popping her 4th node also.
Whilst candy Caramelo is standing at 9cm and popping her 3rd node.
Power plant has made the biggest progress this week of them all, she’s standing at 13.5 cm and is popping her 5th node, I’m planning to top her once she has finished.
Received some nutrients this week, courtesy of Bio Green Nutrients :) so I shall start feeding tomorrow yey!
I topped power Plant and she’s doubled up, they’re speeding up the growing now and I’m sure there’ll be a big difference after adding these nutrients. Hope your all good.
@beautypaste420 it appears we have the same greenhouse. I have started in there and all is well but do you mind sharing what you're planning to do about the heat in there? Do you have any experience with it?
@Beautypaste420, you are flowering now, so it might be too late, but if the Power Plant XL is a photoperiod plant, you still have time to transplant it to a pot with actual potting soil.
@MovingOn,ah I see, yes you are correct I am using coco medium. This is my first attempt so I’m still learning, thank you for the info much appreciated 👊💚
@Beautypaste420, I see that you marked this grow as a "soil" grow, but your pictures look like the medium is coco coir. If you are growing this in coco coir, then that is actually a type of hydroponic setup which requires different ways of watering, pH'ing, and feeding. If you are running this as a soil grow, then there should be drainage in it like perlite.
Hi there, the heat is a big problem especially in the very early stages when the plants are sensitive. I’ve lost 4 seedlings so far due to the heat :( once they are established they become more hardly as you already know. I keep a thermometer inside the greenhouse, and if the temperature rises above around 28 I bring them outside and sit them on a table I have in the direct sunlight. It’s difficult to have a life really because you are constantly worrying if your plants are too hot or too cold lol I did put a fan inside the greenhouse at one point, but it’s really just circulating hot air as I don’t have a filter or a dehumidifier so it’s abit pointless, just put them outside until the temperature drops, they’ll love it :)
@Leathaface1982, I hope all goes well for you :) so far so good here just lacked nutrients but I’ve been kindly sponsored by bio green so I hope to see the ladies flourish 💚✌️
@Beautypaste420, thanks for the reply. I'm in Michigan and it has been hitting 90 f here for the past week with very high humidity. Luckily, the plants are all hardened off already. I close it up at night then first thing in the morning, roll the door up. It breathes relatively well in there and surprisingly, no heat stress yet. My greenhouse is positioned so the wind blows through well and it gets shade once the heat of the day starts to roll around. This is a trial run for me to see if it is viable. But I do have some ideas for modifications if it gets bad
