Entering the second week of growing for the Orange Diesel, I am finally relaxing a bit. It was so close to death with it's germination issue, but the "seed surgery" saved it and it seems to be recovering. It's a bit small compared to the Blue Dream'Matic growing under the same conditions, but it's leaves are healthy and it's putting out new growth. It's going to get it's nutrients dialed up just a little, and the lights are being lowered slowly, to dial in it's optimal grow conditions. Unless she explodes with growth I am going to avoid any topping later in the grow and focus instead on some gentle LST (if needed).
I am including a timelapse that mainly covers my Blue Dream'Matic, but shows some of the growth of the 🍊 in the foreground. In future weeks I hope to get more of both the plants centered in the video.
Thanks for reading, and happy growing! 🌱👍
@Chedderbob112, if your coco has good drainage/perlite it's helpful as you can water/fertilize multiple times per day and keep the root zone conditions ideal. I don't want to hand water 1-3 times per day so it saves a lot of time! With this type of coco growing I have found plants are larger and more vigorous 👍
