Northern Lights Fem First Grow

luvrin Started another seed growing because I thought my white widow was dying and too small... unfortunately this one has had a bad start to life with the shell still on. I guess I didn't plant her deep enough. Day 2 - I sprayed her often and put her under a glass dome to raise the humidity. The shell came off after a few hours, and her leaves finally opened up. During the day she is in natural windowsill sunlight, but around 4pm I turn on a blue led light 30W and keep it on until 3am. Day 4 - A hot day today! 29°C and I have no AC in the house. It's like a furnace in here. I had to keep the curtains drawn to keep the heat under control and as a result, she stretched. I repotted her haphazardly and added more soil up top. The best I could do with limited time. Also sprayed her with neem as I seem to have a sudden infestation of tiny flying creatures, thanks to the organic soil that I'm using for my white widow. Ick!

luvrin Day 30 - Roots are starting to show though the drainage holes. Oh no! Time to repot already?! Day 34 - I transplanted into a larger pot of 8L. This will be the final pot. I stupidly didn't check to see if I had enough soil, so when it came to covering the roots, I didn't quite have enough. I topped up with some coco coir I had sitting around. Also, I can never seem to repot ANY plant dead centre. I suck at gardening :( Day 35 - I added an extra set of lights because the new location is pretty cold. She seems to be doing very well after being repotted. It's like she didn't even notice.

luvrin Day 36 - I've noticed new leaf growth is red. Since moving the new grow location to a closet, the temperature at night drop very, very low and the daytime temperature does not get as high as what it was before. Is this the cause of the reddening? Or is it because I've added an extra light source and it's now getting too much light?!

luvrin Day 45 - Lots of roots are coming through the drainage holes. This was meant to be the final pot size, but I think I may need to get a bigger pot for her very soon. Day 46 - I have decided to start feeding her Powerfeed 2.2ml/L and Seasol seaweed solution 2.2ml/L. She gets a flush feed of purified water one week and then a nutrient feed the other week. Previously she was fed Maxicrop seaweed plant food.

luvrin Day 56 - Finally repotted my plant. Her roots were growing out of the drainage holes and starting to turn brown. She's now in a 14L pot. I didn't feed her, I only watered her. I'm sticking to my feeding every 2 weeks schedule, but I'm wondering if perhaps I should have at least given her some plant food. Let's see how she fares in her new pot.
