Hey everyone, it's now week 2 and lots have happened in the first week of veg. In the beginning when the seedling was in the plastic ounce cup, I noticed that the grow tent wasn't really as warm as I needed it to be and shrugged it off thinking this seed would persevere until it was big enough to transplant into the 3 gallon pot; boy was I wrong.
The seedling was showing signs of either over watering or cold temps coming from the serious drooping from the first fan leaves ever since the light was hanged up at 24" from the cup. Initially the temps weren't reaching 80 let alone 75 as well as the humidity reaching way below 60% down to 48% unless it was lights out in which case had reached levels up to 71%, so I figured fluctuating rH and low temps was the problem. I felt previously that I wasn't too keen on planting in these cups regardless of the holes I made for drainage on the bottom yet I used one and deeply regret not getting a starter pot instead. The only leaves that were growing and drooping was already showing tip burning probably due to the stress and introduction to nutrients so I think it was best to transplant early and cross my fingers that the transfer to the bigger pot and pray it wasn't going to stress it too much. Although it needed the space and humidity from the growing medium to fill the air with moisture in order to breath and grow more comfortably. To solve the heat problem I lowered the light to 18" so it would get a little warmer which did help after a few days into the transplant halfway ending to week 1. The leaves are now propping up towards the light and is growing a second set of leaves right now which have a tinge of purple in the center and on the stem probably due to the cold temps and perhaps genetics. I have a good feeling about this growing now that it's striving this far so I will be giving it a stable measurement of nutrients for the next few weeks. On a side note i'm enjoying how quiet the light is, I can't wait until it starts flowering so I can see well it worked during veg in due time, thats all for now!
Nice work on the journal. I plan on running this strain for my next grow so watching your success thus far has been informative. I looking forward to seeing your harvest! Good luck and stay healthy!
