My tent is set to arrive today, so decided to get started on cracking one of the test seeds FastBuds sent me, Thank you for that btw ;)
This will be my first grow in a fabric pot.
Will update this week as germination comes along
Germination timeline:
- 03/25: Soaked
- 03/25: Sunk, 12hrs after soak
- 03/26: Cracked, 12hrs after being move to wet paper
- 03/28: Planted
- 03/31: Seedling!
Growing nicely, and getting some very tight node spacing.
Still early in the grow, so not much to report.
Trying to decide if I should experiment with topping/FIMing her.
I've read up on it, and there's some that have gotten good results, but most do not recommend it.
Can't tell if it works for me until I've tried it though. 😅
- Week 2 Update
She was growing very strong and fast, so decided to try out topping her.
Doesn't seem to be any severe stress caused by this, the day after now.
Will let her grow a bit more and then apply some LST.
She's recovering well from the topping, will begin some light LST soon, to get her to branch out and let some light come into the lower sites.
A strong grower!
So decided to start training her, as she was starting to block out some of the lower branches.
Seems like the topping never really slowed her down!
Around 3-4 days into week 3 I found signs of flowering, so switched nutrients to a light bloom.
Will also let her grow into the stretch now and stop the LST.
Growing like crazy, have to tug leaves several times a day.
Leafs are almost like tobacco leaves, thick and lush and very textured.
Should be some interesting weeks.
Explosive growth on this one, really stretching towards the lights.
Looking excellent so far.
Started using a little bit more nutrients, using recommended now.
Decided to do a little mid-week defoliating, could see a lot of sites not getting any light.
let's see how she takes to it
So she's growing well, and budding up nicely as well.
I'm seeing some leaf tip clawing, so dialing down on the Nitrogen for a few waterings.
But also seeing some of the newer leaves losing color, and not sure what that might be.
Might be I need to add a little CalMag, but afraid it might make the Nitrogen toxicity even worse
Starting to see small dark/black discolorations on the leaves.
Since I don't know the genetics, I can't tell if it's prone to dark leaves.
Could it be signs of anything else?
Note: Started watering only using TopMax and ActiVera because of some possible Nitrogen toxicity
Yes it could be genetics but it looks like molybdenum deficiency.
It is often caused by low temps and excess sulphur. It should be nothing to worry about tho!
Been having some trouble with leaf tips burning off and main leaves being eaten way too fast (for my liking).
Figured it might be my LED's that are too bright for her, in her late stage flowering.
So lowered the lights to, roughly, 80%.
Seems to have helped a bit.
She's definitely starting to have some scent to her, very sweet and fruity.
Smells delicious every time i open the tent 😎
Really filling in nicely now, and the smell is so sweet and mouthwatering.
Not seeing many clear trichomes, most are already cloudy but not many are amber.
Think I've given the last feeding today, and will switch to water only for the last week or two.
Fairly easy to grow, took well to LST and a very minor defoliation.
Would not suggest heavy defoliating, since she really started feeding of the leaves during late flowering.
Also suggest starting out fairly easy on the nutrients, I did manage to burn a bit with N toxicity.
LED lights should be at a good distance. I had to lower the voltage of mine due to height restrictions.
Wet weight is with lots of bigger stems, since I need them to slow down drying.
