Germination

El_Jardinero I was originally supposed to plant RQS´s "OG Kush" but only 1/5 germinated. Unfortunately, that one seed that germinated and also grew powerfully to a healthy seedling, had to be trashed due to a trip. So I begun again and this time with RQS "Sour Diesel". I planted two seeds to a shot glass filled with ionized water, both germinated but the other died over night during seedling stage. Other one survived to the point that it was time to place it on the NFT system.

El_Jardinero Seedling placed into the NFT system, EC 0,5 and pH has been dialed around 6. Great progress during the week, but the leaves do not look great. Everything is dialed in though, so we just wait. One fan already broken but I have spares.

El_Jardinero Reservoir changed and fresh nutrients added. I also opened a CO2 bag. Great growth seen and therefore I flipped to 12/12 on day 4. On day 5 the plant had drank 10 litres of water (since changing the reso) so everything is going well and the growth continues. Little bit of Grow, Micro, Bloom and CalMag added while adding more water (5 ml each). Next week is the first week that is fully 12/12. I haven't defoiled yet, but I should do that in the next couple of weeks.

El_Jardinero The outside weather has been exceptionally cold and therefore the temperatures in the tent have been a bit too low. I tried to fix this issue by installing a less powerful duct fan. It had this stupid clip-on thing that slipped off it's slot and the whole thing dropped on top of the plant. The drop snapped the stalk open in middle, so you could see light through it. Unfortunately I did not take any pictures while I was panicking and fixing her trunk with zip ties. There was another branch 70% detached, so another zip tie there. Looks fine. Did some defoliation while removing snapped branches.
