3/21:
I soaked a seed for 5 minutes in some bacto and endoboost solution and planted it into a spongepot soaked in the same solution.
If it takes off, it will be transplanted into a starter pot with FoxFarms Light Warrior mix and a pinch of cooked soil for 10 days or so, then I'll transplant it into a 1-gallon pot. I'll be growing it indoors under LED lights for a couple weeks before taking it outdoors. I'll either transplant it into a 5 or 10 gallon pot at that point.
This is an experimental grow in that the site where she will be grown only gets about 4-5 hours of direct sun per day. I had scrawny plants last time I tried it, but this time,I'm gonna be running a some 150w waterproof outdoor grow lights (3200k) all during the day to increase their average PAR values. I cant run the lights past dusk or risk detection, but I'm optimistic that she'll produce well enough..🙏
3/31:
Th first one didn't pop, so I soaked the other two seeds in a humic acid, kelp, endoboost, bacto solution overnight and planted them in spongepots and put them under a dome. I also sprinkled a little endoboost into the holes...maybe this time....
4/5:
One of them sprouted and I put it into a starter cup.
4/9:
She's growing!
4/12:
I transplanted her into a 1-gallon pot and gave her a little drink of water with big bloom, myco, and humic acid
@Wicked_Stix, ya...i'm counting myself lucky to at least be bringing in 4 decent plants from that Spring outdoor run, and I'm pretty certain that I'll end up firing the closet back up again to properly finish some of the ones I'm running outdoors now...try as I might, I can't be the kind of "scarecrow" I'd need to be to ensure success in the summer...
@BudXs, Ya, mine started off great and was easy to train, but the hoppers really liked her and my #6 seed plant...probably 80% of the hopper damage done was to those two plants.
Is leaf color lighter on the top? Or is it just light shing on that patch?
On one of my plant leaves color seemed to bleached too. And it happened after rainy week. So what do you think?
I added nitrogen and it burned. May be I should add micro nutes or just leave them alone?
@Silverback_Guerilla, thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
It is my Orange Juice 2. This time I did’t use a basket. And she isn’t taking nutes. You are absolutely right. Hope she survive until this week end when I have time to work in her.
Thank you. Appreciate the help.
@Med_in_Tropic,I'm not sure with your plant...but in some of my photos, the sun is almost setting or is just rising, or it is just very shady at the time, so you see the LED light colors...(3000k)
If the plant you speak of is R-Kiem plant 2 (just starting flower)..I think the pale color is just much new growth as she begins to stretch.
If you think you overfertilized her, you definitely don't want too much N in the soil when you flower. If you just had much rain, the soil should be flushed a little bit, but I would still not feed for a few days, and maybe even flush them with a few gallons to be sure you are starting again at "zero." If you have liquid kelp and/or fish emulsion and a little molasses and fulvic acid, you can spray your leaves (tops and bottoms) every day for a few days to be sure they have gentle forms of Nitrogen and carbohydrates available if they need it.
Oh...wait...I think you mean the Orange Juice plant 2...yes, she is having problems for sure. Because your other one is looking very good and they have same feed and conditions, I think she is having root problems. Maybe anaerobic conditions from all the rain. If you can, transplant her ASAP into a slightly bigger pot and maybe use a lighter mix (more perlite) to fill the pot up the rest of the way. You will smell "bad water" from her roots if that is the problem. After you flush her, let her dry out completely and then water with some humic acid, beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizal fungus to make her roots happy again.
This week’s update was incredibly slow enlightening. Exactly what I imagined, but I had to see it. I see Predator in the background of one of those pics.
Congratulations on the new baby. She looks good at first. Choose a good variety. Pour a treat. Keep doing what you are doing and have the growing ganja gods protect your women until the growth is complete.
