Hi there folks!
This is technically the first ever MJ seed I germinated. Seeing the first ever set of serrated leaves was amazing I must say ahah. My noob ass made a bunch of mistakes which I think explains the very slow growth. I'm 3 days into the third week and I was expecting a little more size by now. Not enough light after germination caused the stem to shoot up for the sky, then I made the mistake of exposing the young seedling to direct sunlight outside which pretty much killed it. I was miraculously able to give it new life by repotting in another plastic solo cup, burying the extra stem in more soil+coco mix. I was a little clumsy doing the repotting so roots may have been exposed to light and thus stressed.
Then hot hot temperatures prevailed where I live, and I made the mistake of leaving the cup on a sunny windowsill, on the overwhelmingly warm third floor of my house, thus heat stressing it some more. D'oh!
Then I realized the water I was using was too cold for watering. (18 degrees celsius). I might have left the seedling in the initial plastic solo cup too long as well. 8 days is pushing it for an auto I've read. No sign of rootbounding when I repotted into the final 18l pot tho. I'm using a fair bit of coco which I've read can cause a calcium defiency.
Last but not least, temperatures can be a little cold for a seedling at night here. My baby sleeps in a self contained outdoor shed but its door wont close fully so maybe it is still too cold for him... Oh well. This has been fun and I am very interested to see how it will end up! I apologize for the lack of pics early on. I thought to myself I'd do this for a later grow... Obviously changed my mind lol. THank you for reading!
PS : Im sorry for the misleading strain name, I cant find nor add as a custom strain Auto Pineapple Glue. :/
Hey man , to be honest I dont think its spider mights. You would see spider mights as well as the webbing they use . Your plant doesn't look stressed by insects. If you can see them , there are a few things I could suggest . The best option would be lady bugs . They eat aphids ( spider mites and other mites ) like they are an endless snack . The lady bugs wont really leave your garden either they will stay and move around eating aphids like crazy if they are there . I would also suggest Dr.Doom foggers this will kill any insect/pest that are affecting your plant. The only down fall with the fogger is that it smells terrible and I always recommend washing your buds when it's all said and done if using products like that . Lastly you can mix up 2 drops of sunlight dish soap in 1 liter of water with a sprayer and spray the affected areas and top of your growing medium. This will kill any live aphids as well as leave a tiny film behind suffocating the eggs . You may have to do it more then once but you will see it works well . I ADVISE that you dont make the mix up to strong other wise you will suffocate your plant as well as the aphids . This method requires a happy balance and I would only do it as a last resort. I hope this information with the various options helps you determine whether or not you have mites ( hard to tell from photo) and what you can do to get rid of the buggers . Happy Growing!
And so the flowering begineth!
Im starting to get burnt/yellow tips... I never get run off when watering so I might need to be more indulgent next time.
