Week 1!
2/29
Introduction:
Picked up a brand new clone from Dark Heart Nursery yesterday. The strain is Magic Melon, a 60% Sativa dom hybrid, and is one of their newest strains. The plant seems to resemble a plant of about 2-3 weeks old, which is great cuz that’s a nice little headstart.
Water:
-Water was tested at 6.0 ph going in.
-Water runoff tested at 5.4 ph after making its way through the soil.
Nutrients:
-Will be alternating between feeding and watering.
-Will be using all above mentioned nutrients but only every other feeding.
Observations:
-The stem seems to be very strong and the roots are growing very well.
-The plant is not suffering as much transplant shock as I expected it to.
-There is a single purple spot on one of the fan leaves. Will be keeping a close eye on that.
If this is a freshly rooted clone then you don't have anything to worry about. It may have gotten some nutrient solution on it at some point or damaged from handling when it was cut. It can't be repaired but just monitor your new growth for signs of issues. Good luck!
Week 4!
End of week update:
The magic Melon has become much hardier over time and it’s starting to grow much taller. It’s becoming slightly darker overall in color and is extremely healthy.
Week 6:
Observations:
-The plants overall color has become slightly darker green. Still healthy nonetheless.
-My other plant was blocking a couple leaves so I rotated this plant. No visual damage.
End of week update 4/7:
-I have officially raised the light to its final height for flowering. Now I shall let the plants stretch to this light in veg for 1-2 more weeks then start flowering. Very exciting!!
Week 7 Update 4/8:
Lighting-
I have officially moved the main lighting up 12 inches away from the plant. This is now the final position for the light for the rest of the plants life.
Nutrients-
This is the last week this plant will be fed grow nutrients and will be slowly moving into flowering nutrients next week. (Hopefully)
Week 8 (4/16) Update:
FLOWERING-
I have officially begun the flowering process for my grow. I adjusted the light schedule to only 10 hours per day. Also I stopped using grow nutes and started using bloom nutes.
Ended up keeping the plant alive for a few months after this photo for it to just never flower. I don’t know exactly why but I believe the light I was using did not have enough output. Next time I will use sunlight AND grow lights.
If this is a freshly rooted clone then you don't have anything to worry about. It may have gotten some nutrient solution on it at some point or damaged from handling when it was cut. It can't be repaired but just monitor your new growth for signs of issues. Good luck!
