Up til now - I had just been watering about 250ml of water around the stem of the plant every other dayish. November 26th - First time watering with nutes until there was drainage. 1.5L per 3 gallon pot. Dryish weight - 3.8kg. Weight after 1.5 L water - 5.1kg Collective Runoff PPM (all runoff went into 1 bucket) - 900ppm Started with 12 Liters of RO water (1.5L x 8 Plants) Starting PPM - 9PPM After 3ml Cal Mag - 58PPM After 6ml GMB - 215PPM pH Strip color - Yellow (Somewhere around 5.5-6? Really need to buy a new pH probe) I wasn't comfortable with the width of the stem as some of the plants seemed to stretch a bit. So I buried the stem in about 1-2 inches of additional soil. I realized I totally fucked up. I had been using a 10K solistek MH "finishing" bulb for this grow. Today I switched to a used Sunpulse LLT/SP400 6.4K MH bulb. November 28th: Below are the height measurements (Measured from top of newest center growth. at the "V" of the plant. So, not the tip of the leaves). One thing I should mention is that I made what I believe to be a huge fuck up. When I potted these initially I was afraid that my soil mix would burn the babies. So instead what I did was I put the soil mixture into the pots, and then I placed about a 2-3 in layer of Coco/Perlite on top of that and placed the rockwool seedling into that. After a few days I realized that the top layer of coco wouldn't give a good indication of the moisture while doing the "finger" test and decided I should try to "scrape away" the top layer of coco and replace it with the soil mixture. So I removed the coir around the plants and replaced it with the soil mixture. While doing this I accidentally uprooted #2. This plant has grown significantly slower than the other fast growers. Number 9 is also showing slower growth and although it wasn't uprooted I am beginning to feel that perhaps toying around with the seedling has caused it to have the same problem as #2. In short, next time I am just going to sow the seeds directly into the soil. Plant 1 - 11cm Plant 2 - 5cm (This is the guy that was accidentally uprooted) Plant 3 - 7cm Plant 4 - 13.5cm Plant 5 - 8cm Plant 6 - 6cm Plant 8 - 7.5cm Plant 9 - 4cm Last week I talked about how #3 started from the beginning with pale patches on the leaves and looked a bit deformed, however the more it grew the more normal the growth started looking, but the pale color did not subside. I am seeing this white come up on a few other leaves as well, but to a much lesser degree. Affected plants are #3, #5, #6, #8. Perhaps the problem already was on 5, 6, and 8 but I just never noticed due to it not being as severe as on number 3. I learned today of a disease called TMV (Tobacco Mottling Virus). I saw pictures and the discoloration looks similar to what is on my plants. TMV is supposed to affected growth, but strangely the plants with this problem seem mostly healthy as you can see in the pics above. I'm hoping it isn't TMV and that it's just some weird genetics.
