I'm going to be traveling for about 10 days over the holidays, but I didn't want to wait to plant seeds from Seed City by Barney's Farm. I didn't get original packaging, so nothing to see there. I accidentally made some pretty great soil in an outdoor garden box long before I began enjoying cannabis let alone growing it. I filled some 7 gallon cloth pots in August and some random wildflower seeds that never sprouted in the garden box began to grow. At that point, I knew cannabis would be next. I grew sunflowers to about 36" and I think there's a lot of similarities to cannabis.
Anyway, I cleaned out everything from my tent on Wednesday, 11.20 due to lack of room and whiteflies. I scrubbed the tent and mixed in a fresh bag of organic potting soil into my 3 now empty cloth pots. On a whim, I dropped a Purple Punch Auto into the center of one about 3/4 an inch in and covered her up. I proceeded to get legitimately sick (strep maybe), and I found a lovely present Sunday (11.24) morning. I'd kept the area damp with a spray bottle and a plastic dome for some humidity. The seedling outgrew the dome in about 3-4 days (no pics).
After day 1, just spritzed the little guy once or twice a day - very unscientific. Plan for the grow is to let it grow. I've never grown a cannabis plant, so i kind of want to get a feel for it. I'm expecting my travels to stress the plant but I've ordered some terra cotta plant feeders to hopefully prevent the plants from getting too dry. I know however many days they don't get fresh water and nutrients will affect yield, but I wanted to get it started. The other 3 pots will be getting fresh Purple Punch seeds after I get back Jan 1st-ish.
She will bounce back, i was 24 hours later home this grow aswell,mine looked even worse, bouced back in like 3-4 hours, but damadge done and big. Check soil ph after such dessert times.
Good luck !
@AsNoriu, appreciate the kind words. I just ordered a soil ph meter, so I’ll keep an eye on that. New pictures show 12 hours recovery! I pruned the deadest of the dying leaves.
She is still unhappy check ph of soil or runoff and dont water till its time, pot have to dry out and then repeate watering.
I am the man who tells everybody that bigger pot is always better, i had so many bad expierience with small pots, that i will never go that path again.
I even noticed that if you ad up extra soil to pot at around week 4 of flower they boom even more. At that time my pots ussualy set down and i have couple more liters of space avaliable, so i top up always.
Good luck !
@AsNoriu, I think I overwatered in the recovery attempt so I'll wait to water at the right time next. The soil PH meter shows maybe in the 7 range so I'm going to investigate lowering PH and will try that next water. Tuesday or wednesday night so check back next weekend? Appreciate you coming back to check up on my plant :)
Great grow man , For me this strain either seemed incredibly sensitive to bloom fertilisers ie or locked out for it - that the leaves have given me purplish blotches redish tips and veins on the leaves confused as to whether mine is an over feed , under due to a lock out of P K or it’s the cold , leaves looking exactly like yours on the main top cola
A PH of 6.0-7.0 for soil is perfect, but if find your water to high of a ph I'd recommend advanced nutrients PH Down. Careful though its potent stuff. In 8l of water 1ml of that stuff will drop my ph down a full point.
