Landrace West African Sativa (Togo)

Day 15-21: • Plant growth stunted due to transplanting too early, intense light, wrong lighting schedule, slight overwatering • Growth started again at end of week 3 after new soil mix + transplant back into smaller container, better pH, equatorial lighting schedule Day 20: • Almost a week later, felt like plant development drastically slowed down overall despite absence of deficiencies • Decided to transplant back to a red cup, from the 1gal fabric pot • Root ball in 1 Gallon fabric pot proved out to be tiny and root growth felt even smaller than when I originally transplanted from red cup • Probably caused mild damage to roots during transplant but hopefully the new soil mix will help them recover • Mixed a new soil with actual organic compost from a local nursery, in lieu of Miracle Gro Organic Potting Mix • Followed clackamas coot mix reco (1/3 spaghum peat moss, 1/3 aeration, 1/3 compost (=50/50 compost / worm castings), added 2 tbsp acidifier at the top after new soil mix pH tested at 5.0 • Top-dressed with 1/4 tbsp bat guano, 1/4 tbsp alfala meal, 1/4 tbsp kelp meal, 2 tbsp mulch • Drenched soil in an Alfala sprouted seeds tea containing 1/8 tbsp silica, 1/8 tbsp aloe vera powder, 0.5ml hydroguard to boost root growth and let runoff water exit at the bottom. • Light schedule update: switched to equatorial conditions found in Togo and Nigeria to mimic the local environment conditions where I found this landrace seed. At that latitude, day/night cycles are almost even, at 13/11 during the summer days and 11/13 during the winter. • Plant Light hours will now go from 7:30AM to 8:30PM. Dark hours from 8:30PM till 7:30PM. • Humidity reports in Togo also rarely fall below 60% during the dry season - Boosting to 65% cap DAY 21: • At 24h post transplant, plant is looking healthy and no signs of leaves drooping • No apparent transplant shock • Stem growth seems to have resumed • Red cup weight: 15 1/2oz / 440g
