mattoni First growing experience.
I had a variety of seeds of different strains. I want to test one to inform the setup for the next ones.
I decided to test a seed to see what I would get without any setup.
South-European Atlantic coast, where it is usually warm and sunny until the end of September/mid-October. The balcony is bathed in sunlight all day long, from 6:30am to 8:30am (give or take), so I am hopeful.
The temperature during the first week has been between 26°C (max during the day) and 18°C (min during the night).
29/07 (night)
Humid paper towel inside a plastic box.
31/07 (morning)
The seed's taproot stuck out by about 1 cm.
31/07 (night)
I moved it to a hydrated coconut fibre (small vase) inside a transparent plastic box.
The box remained slightly open during the day and closed at night, no direct sunlight.
02/08
The baby came out about 1 cm.
It is still staying in the plastic box, which is slightly open during the day and closed at night, no direct sunlight.
03/08
It is growing faster and has started to develop its first real leaves and strong root.
It was moved to a 10 L plastic vase with soil mix:
- organic living soil (4 kg).
- coco coir (0.4 kg).
- perlite (0.1 kg).
- worm casting (0.5 kg).
- compost (0.5 kg).
I prepared the soil mix three days before, plus I had higly hydrated in the beginning, to gave it time to set.
04/08
It continues to grow.
Direct sun-light.
Started LST.
Hydrated the soil with 0.1 L of water + BIOCANNA Vega (0.2 ml/L).
05/08
There is burning on a leaf. Also, leaf growth has slowed down.
Could this be due to the training? Or too much direct sunlight?
06/08
Leaf growing continues slow.
Hydrated the soil with 0.1 L of banana water.
