The seeds were first popped using the paper towel technique. In 36 hours they had popped out of their shell and grown to about 1/2" in size. I used a coco coir for my medium and amended an organic slow time release nutrient into it. I then planted the seeds and placed a humidity dome on top of them.
I took the dome off 24 hours later, they had just poked out of the soil and were beginning to show their first leaves. I have been watering them lightly every other day, letting them dry out slightly. So far they look healthy and are growing quickly!
AUTOFLOWER - I checked on my seedlings this morning, and the temp in the tent dropped to 9 degrees celsius during the night. My light puts off a bit of heat. Am I better to run the light 24hrs and maintain a warmer temp, or give them a few hrs of darkness and risk dropping temp?
I run a humidifier during lights off which keeps my tent around 68 degrees and my lights out cycle is during the day to keep it from getting too cold. maybe try out 20/4 cycle and monitor temps?
I have some leftover coco coir, and I mixed it up with some organic time release dry fertilizer. Can I store this and use it again in a few months? If yes, will I have to add in more nutrients next time?
As long as you close it up good and store in a cool dark place you’ll be fine and your nutrients that you mixed in should be fine as well! Definitely a few months I’d say up to six months no problem! Good luck 👍🍀
Week 2 had some issues that were mostly due to human error, I presume, but also one finicky little plant.
The front plant is healthy, green and growing quickly. The back two seem to have issues.. the symptoms are droopy leaves along with yellowing and some weird purple coming from the middle. I suspect over watering. I have been very diligent to only give them a small amount of water, slowly dripping in circles around the plant (I use a turkey baster! lol!), nearly exactly 2 oz of water to each plant. I wait until the soil drys out, and I dig down and inch to find moisture before watering again. I also lift the pot to make sure they are not water logged, which they aren't, they feel light and dry. Although I have been very careful, the symptoms still point to over-watering.
I let them dry out for a day longer than I normally would, and they started to bounce back! I could see them perking up a bit. The yellow new growth turned into a darker green. Then all of a sudden they drooped harder than they had before. Leaves nearly touching the dirt. I gave each plant 1 oz of water, hardly a shot glass full, and by morning they were looking healthy again.
I suspect theses babies are just finicky plants. Hoping to get through another week without stunning or stunting them. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Week 3 has been gone by smoothly. No issues! They are growing slower than I like, but its still early so Im not too concerned. I have started giving them more water lately, about .5L each every few days.
Week 4 started with some rust spots on one of the plants. I gave them all some cal mag, and it seemed to work. The plants have shown some amazing growth this past week! I have started LST on the biggest of the three plants, and I will start LST on the other two this week.
Week 5 was a good one! The girls are starting to show signs of flowering, and LST is in full swing. I was hoping they would get a bit taller before starting to flower.
I gave them cal-mag two feedings in a row and started seeing some burning leaves. I will give them straight water for the rest of the week and see if that helps.
Week 6 saw a slow down on growth, and some discolouring of the leaves. I gave them their first top feeding of time release organic nutrients. This is the first time I have given them nutrients since I planted them, it has been straight water up until now.
Week 7 saw some discolouring leaves, I realized that my light was way to close. I brought it up higher and within a couple days started to see an improvement. I am finished LST now, I removed some of the wires that got in the way of watering. I also stated some light defoliation, and removed a few leaves on the lower third of each plant.
Week 8 has gone well, the plants are really starting to produce sticky white buds that smell amazing. The plants stayed much smaller than I expected, but LST has produced multiple nice bud sites. The leaves are yellowing out due to a deficiency, but I am so close to harvest that I wont bother doing anything about it.
Week 9 went by quickly. They seem to be yellowing out quite a bit, and drinking much less water now (humidity has been high so maybe thats why). Next run I will definitely be doing something to correct the potassium deficiency early on. Couple more weeks and I will harvest
The girls are just about finished. I might cut them early so I can get onto my next run. I am starting to see a few gnats flying around in the tent. They did not get as tall as I wanted, and the leaves are yellowing and drying up quickly now. I will most likely harvest today or tomorrow.
Great strain to grow! I could have gone longer but I decided to cut it a little short and try again. The buds are a little loose and airy, but they smell and taste amazing!
