Started 3 MSNL Auto Lemon Haze Seeds.
Plant A was sown directly into the soil and kept very moist.
Plants B and C were germinated using the classic paper towels method and placed into the ground about 36 hours later with 1/4-1/2 inch roots
All 3 seeds ended up sprouting from the soil about 2.5 days later.
Plant A has grown substantially faster then the other 2 by almost 2x during week 1.
Light was set to 25% all week.
Increased the light strength gradually over days 7, 8 and 9 up to 100%. Keeping soil mostly dry with light watering 3x a day using mist enough to just start to produce puddles that do not instantly disappear.
Plants have come closer to all the same height Plant A still at least 30% farther along.
End of week update: Plants all seem to be doing great, Water has been increased to enough to let some run out of the bottom of the pot slightly with next water when 1.5-2 inches deep is nearly totally dry.
Will continue with pure water only until first signs of flowering maybe a very light amount of growbig if they look like they can handle it next week.
Could an experienced grower please take a look at my plant pictures and tell me if they are getting too much light? or any other issues you see. Please and Thank-You!!
Honestly, the short answer is your seedling looks healthy and is doing well! 👍
The long answer for those curious about the plant science is that with your Mars Hydro LEDs radiant heat won't be an issue, and they are probably not maxing out the PPFD (photosynthetic photon flux density) that the plants can handle. Too much light can cause photosynthesis to outpace the carbon dioxide as a limiting factor, and can begin to damage the plant, but I don't see anything like that happening. Even though the plant is looking pretty good, I would try to raise your humidity just a little bit to 60 or 70rh With a low humidity, the vapor pressure deficit (VPD) the plant can take protective action and begin to draw less moisture and nutrient and therefore have a slower growth and a higher tendency to nutrient burn.
Hope that helps, and happy growing!
I have added Labels to each plant, A, B and C I went back to previous weeks and tried to tag the ones I could identify positively and will be sure to highlight each moving forward and from the start of future grows.
Plant A was started directly in the soil.
B and C were started using the paper towel method.
Plant A has stayed 25-30% ahead in development.
Plant C has been 10% behind plant B.
Day 15: The plants look amazing, growing super fast. They had water on day 14 1/3 gallon expecting to need more on day 16. Still only giving pure RO water at 6.4~
Day 16: Plant seem to be thriving still and the soil was dry at about 2 inches deep so I gave each plant 1/2 gallon of water with a very small amount of Foxfarm Growbig 1/8th tsp in 2 gallons of water.
Day 17: Growing rapidly still, some small mutations of some sort in a few leaves, Seeking advice on it , Overall plant health seems excellent. LST Tomorrow
Day 18: Performed the first LST, Simple tie down and leaf manipulations to expose undergrowth removed the largest shade leave from each plants top side to really let the light in, at noon time leaving 12 hours to recover and then rest. 1/2 Gallon water to each plant.
Day 19: Gentle movement of foliage to keep underneath exposed as much as possible. Feel like I should not have watered yesterday perhaps? Slight dropping. Watering on hold until soil is nearly completely dry.
Day 21: Plant A took a bit of stalk damage with a minor break when I started to LST it, stem was much more rigid then other 2 plants :( Will get to it in a few days after it heals.
Plant B and C had a major LST totally opening up the plant, Probably will not do anymore to them other then leaf manipulation. I removed 1 extra large leaf from each plant that was blocking too many nodes.
Each plant was given 1 gallon of 6.5 ph water about 1/3rd at a time to let it all soak in evenly. The pots were very very light. Tried to go as long as possible to get full root growth.
Day 22: No changes, Plants growing very well after the LST
I have some wrinkly leaves and some yellowish looking veins in a couple leaves also, Feel like these are just due to the fast growth but would love to hear the opinions of other far more experienced growers, This is Plant A in my lemon haze diary, B and C have slightly same issue
Hi @Mainekneeyak . your plant seems to me to be healthy and happy. the leaves have a good green tone, and the veins are normal for a plant in early life. these deformations at the tips seem to me to be genetic malformation in the first pairs of leaves, very common in automatic plants but it will not affect it at all. good luck 🙏👍
Day 23: Plants are looking amazing still with very rapid growth. White hairs have appeared on almost all bud sites. Seems to be right on schedule.
Day 24: Applied another full round of LST to all 3 plants, Plant A still recovering from broken stalk so had very very light LST Plants B and C full LST
Day 25: Gave the first "full feeding" used half the recommended amounts and gave each plant 1/3rd gallon of the mixture.
Day 26: Slight LST and now have a very even canopy, removed all tiny undergrowth and some leaves here and there, should require only minor adjustments now.
Day 27: Removed all the tiny undergrowth and the worst light blocking leaves.
Day 28: Basking in the glory of these beautiful ladies <3
Day 30: Plants look wonderful, Did some more LST just to keep them open, Plant B is showing full flowering signs now, a full week behind Plant A and C. It will probably be a much larger plant then the other 2.
Day 31: Needed some water so it seemed like a good time to also feed them.
Day 32: Happy 420 Everyone!! No changes.
Day 33: LST to open up the plants to their maximum size and still have room to fit. Plants showed exceptional growth afterwards.
Day 34: 1 gallon water to each plant with only Cal-Mag added.
Day 35: Very light LST and rotated plants some defoliation.
Day 36 Just Watching them grow, Rotated their positions. Very little defoliation and a bit of LST just on a few rogue branches.
Day 37: Increased Nutrients slightly and fed all plants 1/2 gallon each, Plant C showing some light calcium deficiency so I doubled the Cal-Mag feeding on this plant. and gave 10% more to the others.
Day 38: No changes
Day 39: Looking amazing still. Plant C still wants more calcium.
Day 40: Just watching , Plant C is annoying me.
Day 41: All plants fattening up nicely Plant C still starving for more calcium many more leaves affected, 2/3rd gallon water to each plant with 2x calmag dose, Will give foliar feeding of calmag very cautiously to mainly undersides of leaves while shielding buds right after lights out tonight.
"So you get to be the first person that replies like a fucking douchbag nice work" : is what you told me in the chat !
Thank you bro , you'r the first person that can't handle a basic answer 👍
@@Mainekneeyak, I would like to apologize for the way I've answered to your question as I've been a dick and I've didn't bring any valuable information to my answer. It's a place to Learn & Share , I've learned many thinks thanks to others users sharing so I should have done the same for you.
Excuse me once again 🙏
Lady looking lovely early on. Spectacular work growmie. Keep doing what it is you've been doing and may the ganja garden gods give you good fortunes until the end
@Denzul, Thank you very much! I am super excited with how well they are doing. I really appreciate everyone who looks in on them and all the helpful people there are here!
I would blame early feeding. See those really dark green leaves? That's not healthy, you are feeding too much, too early. Let the soil feed the plant and only feed if you see signs of deficiency.
@@Athos, It was only fed 1 time with less then 1/16th dose 2 days ago, The leaves have been dark pretty much the whole time, Do you think the soil itself is just a little strong? The whole thing shows a little darker then it actually is also in real life vs the picture. I had no change in the plant at all after I fed it, The couple wrinkled leaves didnt get worse or better and neither did the curling. I had my light down to about 26 inches instead of 30, would that be enough to cause any of this? thank you very much for any help
Cool bro I just started my first grow ever and its also a autoflower ... I overwatered mine or/and gave to much nutriens to early .... When do you have planned to start feeding .... I also heard that autos don´t need that much nutriens .... hope yours will get big Happy Growing :)) 😊
Lower your ph to 6.2-6.3 and do not feed above 0.4 ec till they get bigger there healthy just slow growth.....also get some airflow going to thicken stems faster......take a look at my gelato 41 dairy I've just started 9 off in soil only 19 days old and fucking huge.....thing with autos its gonna add a week or so on to your harvest also can lower your led to 24 inch no probs....got my 250 hps 24 inches above all 9 plants good luck with it bruva 👊
Give them 0.5l each as the roots at your stage are shooting to the base of your pot already so if your just misting top 2 inch of soil there's no roots there yet and your main tap root!will now be 12 inches long or sumat then a mass of roots break of the main one in all directions so one good watering then wait till dry and repeat throughout just up your water measurements at the rate of plant growth and try lower temps to 22-24 of you can...lower your light closer and dim it to drop temp a bit
