PapaTerps Day 1 - seed popped out of its container and dropped into a plain glass of water, placed in a dark cool room. Day 3 - seedling has a long Taproot, so I've placed her into her main grow pot; a 20L fabric pot. Day 4 - 100ml of plain RO tap water, pH'd to 6.3 at around 21 degrees. I've also placed a humidity dome on her, to help keep the percentage up 👍🏻 Day 6 - sprout has appeared through the soil! 🎉 Watered with 100ml of water with root juice. The light is providing around 300PPFD. Day 9 - she's nice and healthy looking, and about 3-4cm tall. I've ramped up her feeding from 100ml to 300ml with the above nutrients. Now that she has her first full set of leaves and is growing her next set, I consider her in veg from now on.

PapaTerps Black Cherry Gushers - Barneys Farm x Backpack Boyz 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 - I watered her with another 250ml of RO tap water with nutrients, but this time the pH was on point, so we skipped it. I had accidentally poured the water solution over her leaves, I tried to dab as much of the moisture off, but as you can see it damaged her starter leaves a bit, but she'll be okay! I've noticed a slight smell from her now too, which a great sign 🤘🏻

PapaTerps Black Cherry Gushers - Barney's Farm x BackpackBoyz Day 20 - water upped from 250ml to 500ml and I've introduce growth nutrients and reduce the root nutrients as we don't need that anymore. ph came to 6.2 naturally 👍🏻 Day 23 - watered with 500ml of RO water with nutrients. Shes growing really well, her first few fan leaves have long stems, so I've decided not to defoliate this week, but next week we'll need to start some low stress training (LST).

PapaTerps Black Cherry Gushers - Barney's Farm x Backpack Boyz Day 26 - Watered with 500ml of RO tap water with defined nutrients, ph came to 6.1 so I left it at that. I've removed her starter leaves and I've began LST on her, by pinning down her second set of leaves, allowing more light to reach her lower nodes. Her stems are so long, its wasn't necessary to remove any other leaves at this point. She's growing really well, the internodal spacing is very good, so I'm still debating on which grow technique to use or whether I should just let her take off... Notes: - I've included the PH chart, (in the photos) which I use to determine the PH of the solution for soil. Usually anything between 6.2 and 6.6 is okay, with 6.4 being ideal. A lot of people say 6.5, but I think 6.4 allows the plant to get the most of everything. If my solution comes to anywhere near 6.2 on the low end or 6.6 on the high end, I tend to leave it, I don't like playing PH tenis.

PapaTerps Black Cherry Gushers - Barney's Farm x Backpack Boyz Day 32 - Watered upped to 1L, and is made of RO tap water with defined nutrients. The ph came to 5.8, so I used BioBizz pH up to bring the pH to 6.3. I continued with the LST method, by pinning down her axillary bud stems down and away from the main stem. Day 34 - I removed a few of her larger leaves, to improve airflow and light penetration.

PapaTerps Black Cherry Gushers - Barney's Farm x Backpack Boyz Day 38 - Watered upped to 2 liters, of RO tap water with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. Big stretch on her this week, nearly double of what she was, she has a lovely weak smell off her now too - I think she's just about ready to switch over to a 12/12 light schedule, but I'll let her veg for another week or so 👍🏻 in the meantime, I've introduced a low amount of bloom nutrients to her watering. Notes: - she has good internodal spacing at the bottom, but she's a bit tight at the top; I might need to put the light up another few cm. I've left her top fan leaves on this week, just to give her time to shoot up a bit also; normally I would remove them to allow the lower nodes to catch up. - another round of Defoliation was required this week to improve light penetration, I also removed a couple of nodes that were in bad locations.
