Black Gum 2019 (I)

Day 52 from seed for Black Gum. Nothing dire, but nothing positive. I’m awaiting for a new heating system as my current oil tank expired. Unfortunately, the install isn’t for another eight days, its November 10th and there is snow on the ground. My entire house is freezing let alone my basement - ask my kids. Plant growth has taken a hit and nutrient absorption is out of whack. I have been consistent with my mix since summer, but the temperatures severely alter the availability of nutrients. I am getting some claw and other signs, but I won’t jump to rectify anything before I’m able to heat the basement again. Last winter I had similar issues as I just learned about growing in general, and some degrees Celsius can help alot. Because my tent runs 24 hours a day it can build up to 18 or 19 degrees Celsius, but its much colder near the floor and no doubt in the soil. Outside the tent is probably like 10 degrees or colder. I’ve been topping and defoliating at will. Just sort of responding to what I see as I go. Original Sensible Seeds is going to get a good run here soon, but I will not plant seeds until I get a new furnace. Once the plants get cozy again then its on like Donkey Kong. I have not been able to take any Black Gum clones yet.
