Day 1: sprouted earlier this morning and compared to the other strain I am currently growing, it wasted no time shedding the seed shell. I’m currently keeping it covered by a misted cup to prevent the coco from drying out. Really looking forward to seeing this one grow. Any tips and comments are greatly appreciated.
Coming to the end of day 1 and it’s first set of true leaves are showing. Very happy with the progress so far aswell as germinating extremely fast. I’ve cut some cardboard discs to try and slow down the coco drying out and removed the cup so she’s getting constant fresh air.
Day 2: The discs I cut are working well. You can really see the first set of true leaves now. Happy with the progress so far.
Day 3: progressing nicely. On just the third day the main stem root has grown out the bottom of the pot so I have cut the bottom off and placed the pot into a larger pot to allow it to keep growing down. I’ll probably remove the rest of the pot at the end of the week just so I can maintain the moisture around the plant better in the meantime. After over and under watering my other plant I’ve seen the negative effect it has in the growth process.
Day 4: she’s shot up a lot in the first couple days but seems to have found its height now. I’ll simply pot slightly deeper when I transplant for more strength and so roots can potentially develop. I can see a new leaf popping out but there only seems to be one. She’s still a very young plant so I’ll see how she progresses.
Day 5: she’s grown slightly since yesterday and with some slight human intervention moving the new growth on top of old growth you can now see the two new leaves.
Day 6: only a very slight increase in size since yesterday one of the leaves has grown considerably and the other seems the exact same. I’ll see how she progresses and update.
Day 7: slowly growing, I’ve started giving calmag so hopefully it’ll start to speed up growth soon. Not as far along as I was hoping but in week two I think I’ll start feeding a small dose of grow as I’ve noticed a lot of people feeding this strain early on and getting good results.
Can anyone offer any info on my plant? It looks like it’s popping pistils at the tiny size it is. I can’t find any information on it when researching. What can I expect to happen next? Is it worth keeping her going or should I just start one of the other strains I have waiting?
She's starting to bud. What will want to do is raise your light about 2-2.5 ft. She will chase the light and double-triple in size daily. I tend to give my autos a bit more sleep than 4 hrs and noticed more bud production.
@Ema26, im a canada climate, cold at night is a good trick to bring out blues and purples when in last few wks of flower. But you want to keep her warm next few weeks. I like 90 day, 80-75 night. Then drop down to 60-65 at night when in last couple weeks for color. Day time i always stay high 80s to low 90s. You sweat walking into my room if lights on
@Ema26, just watch your heat. Plants like to be warm if it's too cool than you'll get min. growth. Try cutting a soda bottle bottom off place over plant. Like mini green house. Can adjust the humidity by removing the cap.
Hey there,
Thanks so much for running a diary of our genetics 🙌
Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! 🌱☘️🌴🍀🌿🌳
@Fast_Buds, many thanks! I was wondering what nutrients you recommend for growing in coco. I see a lot of people growing without nutrients but they seem to be growing in soil. Thanks again!
@Greengirl420, I know right😢 the really is no space for error with autos. Thanks I think I’ll try a photoperiod next and focus more on training techniques.
Those brown spots are a pH issue. You should shoot for a pH of 6 and also she looks a little hungry. I would give her 1/4th dose of nutrients every time you water and she will be happy. And be careful not to overwater. Letting the medium dry out on top between waterings will help control the gnats. Also little yellow sticky traps work great. Good luck! Hope you get some nice purple buds.
@Wicked_Stix, I’m glad you said that, I gave her some calmag and grow last night at 6 ph and was worried it might be too much. I gave her approx 300 ml. The yellow sticky traps are a godsend I have had no issues with gnats since putting them in and letting it dry out between waterings. Many thanks for the advice! I’ll check out your page!
@Germano, hey:) I think I do actually! I noticed it only in the last 24 hours. Any advice on getting rid of them? Feel free to check out my other diary I’ll be sure to check out yours. Happy growing!
My autos are around that size when they flower. Just after 4 set of true leaves.
However when harvesting she's around 4ft. Autos will chase the light and stretch more than regs.
@DoDrugs420, don’t go to heavy😅 give her some grow and see if it helps, any sort of bloom nutes won’t help your case, I think that’s where I went wrong, good luck👌
It looks like she is about to transition to flower. Unfortunately she probably won't yield much, but that's how it goes with autos sometimes. Not much room for error, but tons of opportunity for learning 💜💜
@Wicked_Stix, thanks for the response! That’s very interesting to know. I didn’t think it was possible with the plant being so small and thought it maybe to do with some sort of mould. I couldn’t find anything about it when reading articles. I’m not too worried about yield I’m purely just learning at the moment with no expectations. I’ve learnt a lot from my other grow just sadly I keep messing up the start😢
