After germinating the seed with the paper towels method (after presoaking the seed 24 hours in 100 mL of deionized water and four drops H2O2 100V at pH 5.8) the seed got a taproot long enough to bring it into a container for sprouting eventually, which happened 2 days after sowing the seed.
Within the first week I got her on a twice a day fertigation regime with a solution around 300 ppm in concentration and pH 6.
She's got into grow fertilizer (daily fertigation) but very low strength solution and TDS of inglow about 350 ppm. The runoff shows good flushing with fertigation solution as seen in the TDS value which is almost identical to the inflow.
I think I'll be taking her to her final container soon.
For the fertigation solution I use Cal Mag 1 mL/L, Grow fertilizer 0.1 g/L, root excellurator 0,1 mL/L.
I'm giving her a little higher Grow fertilizer, 0.2 g/L next time. I don't know if she's not getting her leaves a little extra yellowish and I want to see them bright green, but perhaps it's the strain's color.
She has inherited a N deficiency perhaps because I had used Start fertilizer for too long when it was time to change to Grow fertilizer, because she was growing and needed more N, I think if that was the case, this one could be needing larger doses of nutrients that I generally give to cannabis plants. I'll see that later. I discard lack of Ca and Mg because I'm using the same coco rhat I use on her sister Afghan diesel and some others, without seeing this issue on them, and secondly, I use CalMag. It has to be Nitrogen.
21 03 2020 she's responding well to a higher N concentration in the fertigation solution. I see the green color is getting uniform throughout the leaf. In the pics this may not be clear but to my eye, I see she's perhpas a little slowly but recuperating...inf fact she's a photoperiodic plant and I have (almost) all the time in the world for her to recover... But I won't wait for long, every plant costs too much money in terms of light, nutes, time and dedication, and I have a lot of seeds of other strains to experiment. I usually don't waste my time in weak plants that up to a few months may furnish a little shitty yield.
She's recovering slowly, but almost OK as I see her. I really don't know what happened to her that she got that deficiency. I still think it was some lack of Nitrogen, as my thoughts on this issue I explained the past week.
25 03 she looks OK, I think she may resume growing after this nutitional issue.
I got sick of seeing her so weak a girl that I decided to transplant her to a bigger container, I am confident I do it without much stress and also I'm positive that she'll get well after this procedure, sometimes plant lose strength abd despite it is not noticeable, they are needing a transplant.
This maneuvre has done her a lot of good as I see, a couple days after. She recovered instantly and she started to try to get bigger. Older leaves are being consumed (yellowing) but I don't care, new leaves are developing shealthy. Old sick leaves generally die when the plant recovers.
21/04/2020 it has elapsed quite a lot of time since I been quite distracted by other matters and put the diary off. The plants have been doing fine, all of them, and this one is no exception. A few days ago she was topped preparing her for mainlining but still I don't know if I'll keep on the procedure or after just topping her, letting her grow anyway. I topped her up to the third node but left growth on the previous node just in case I need another arm in teh occurence of an accident (like it happened on another plant of mine, Amnesia Kush).
She's being fertigated daily with a solution of prosilicate (0.5 mL/L) B.A.C. CalMag (1mL/L) Grow fertilizer (0.3 g/L) at pH 6.2
I love the bright green color of her leaves, that is very distinctive to the green color of the other plants I have. I still can't believe that this sick plant turned in the beautiful plant she has become by now. Unfortunatley the lousy pictures I took don't make justice to her, for she looks much more beautiful in reality than in the afbeeldingen. She is growing very vigorously, I can't wait to put her into flowering. I won't let it veg very much longer, but since I have other 3 plants in vegetation and one big autoflowering plant in the same tent, I'm waiting till this one is harvested to change the photoperiod.
