PapaTerps Day 1 - seed popped out of its container and dropped into a plain glass of water, placed in a dark cool room.
Day 4 - watered with 100ml of plain RO tap water, PHD to 6.3.
Day 6 - sprout has appeared 🎉🎉 watered 100ml with root juice! She's still facing towards the soil, so it's possible that she's not getting enough light. The CO2 levels were quite high, around 2000ppm, so I've increased the airflow to reduce the levels; high CO2 levels can block photosynthesis.
Day 10 - today I watered her with 100ml of water pH'd to 6.3. her starter leaves looked a bit fragile, and they have now started to fall away and die - not a great sign, but she's around 3cm tall and her first set of leaves has come through, albeit quite small, so we'll see how she goes; I'm not worried yet! I've already had three failed germinations this winter season, with two more on the roles - I really hope this one turns around 🤞🏻

PapaTerps Day 12 - watered with 250ml of RO tap water with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. today is her first day of veg, she is growing her second set of leaves and is looking very healthy 🎉
Day 15 - watered again with 250ml of RO tap water, with defined nutrients pH'd to 6.3. she's looks quite compact compared to the two photoperiod's, which I planted around the same time. The top of her root system became visible after this watering, so I made a little mound around her base to help protect it 👍🏻

Day 20 - I've upped her water to 500ml this week, removing the root addition as it is no longer required. Oh came naturally to 6.2 👌🏻 she's growing nicely into her space!

Day 25 - watered with 500ml of RO tap water with nutrients - ph came to 5.1 so I used the Bio-Up to get the ph to 6.3.
Notes:
- Shes growing really well, I removed a couple of her larger fan leaves from the top, to allow more light to reach the lower nodes. I also began some LST by pinning down a couple of her lower fan leaves, which should encourage the nodes to spread out a bit. 👌

Day 32 - Watered with 1 litre of plain RO tap water with defined nutrients, with the pH raised from 5.8 to 6.3. I started using the Defoliation and LST methods, by removing a few of her larger fan leaves to allow more light to reach her nodes, and by pinning her axillary bud stems down and away from the main stem.

Day 41 - Watered with 1 litre of plain RO tap water with defined nutrients, with the pH raised from 5.8 to 6.3. She looks to be transistion from veg to flower, so from this point on, I will consider her "in flower".
Shes growing really well and has started to get a little bit of a smell to her.
Notes:
- I've introduced bloom nutrients to her feed, as she has pistils all over her stems and flower has started to grow on her node sites.
- I've also continued to defoliate where necessary, to ensure light penetrates her canopy.

Day 46 - Water upped to 2 litre's, with the solution made up of plain RO tap water with defined nutrients, pH raised from 5.4 to 6.3. Her transistion from veg to flower is going well so far, she's looking really heathly with big beautiful stems and leaves; I really wish I put this one in a bigger pot, because shes looking to grow, but the pot size has really restricted her.
Notes:
- the internodal spacing is okay, but you can tell she would have grown into a big beautiful bush now if it wasn't for the pot size.
- lots of defolation required, she has so many auxiliary stems at the moment, I might have to remove a couple, otherwise we might run into some issues later on.

Day 49 - watered with 1.5L of RO tap water with nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. I lollipopped her this week, removing all nodes under 4 nodes from the soil, I removed these because they are too far below the canopy to mature at an acceptable rate for harvest. I also removed all her fan leaves, which were facing towards the central stem; to improve light penetration.
Notes:
- she's growing well and her transition from Veg to flower is almost complete.
- she's quite busy, so I've had to remove a couple of stems which were sandwiched between two others.
