One very big caution on Spliff Seeds genetics, they grow amazingly fast. I started this gal in a party cup last week. As you can see by the small blotches on some of her leaves, she went through a little nute deficiency. She is rebounding excellently though, now that I have her in her new one gallon ice cream container with fresh organic soil. Many holes drilled in the bottom. Not my ideal choice for a container, but since the whole plague thing is happening, we all have to use a little ingenuity. I can’t imagine she will be in this tent for more than two weeks max. She will be in her final cloth pot soon enough.
I am using a new Mycorrhizae inoculate called Recharge (in the pics). It seems to work very well after the roots have been infected. It also contains Kelp meal and powdered molasses to feed the spores. It’s not cheap, but the dose is one teaspoon per gallon. I actually have just sprinkled some on the soil before watering in, since the plant is small and an entire gallon of water isn’t really ideal and would spoil between waterings.
It is refreshing to see the fat indica leaves that are growing. My last two were on the Sativa side, @spliffseeds Jack F1 and @spliffseeds Amnesiac, which have proven to be excellent flowers, but I am looking forward to a more medicated experience with these once they are harvested and cured.
I will say it again, once Spliff’s genetics take hold, the growth rate is almost frightening to watch. Think “Little Shop Of Horrors.” This strain doubled in size daily in the early stages. She has slowed down some now, and is focusing on new leaves and I am sure the lower branches will be protruding soon. I am going to grab some cuttings from those once she is in her final cloth 5 gallon pot. I don’t want to risk losing these landrace genetics!
I have my SCROG screen just waiting in the wings. I am really excited to try this technique. I will probably top her at 5 nodes, this is the most common method that I have seen in my research. I also ordered a second light that should be here next week. It’s the same as the one I have now in the flowering tent, an Amazon Aponuo. The first has proven itself as a good all purpose light, and they can be daisy chained, so I won’t have to worry about additional timers or power plugs.
See you all next week! :-)
Good idea man , I'm struggling with a dehumidifier 😅 it's bringing the moist levels down but the temps up 😬the bucket with salt sounds like it could work🤙🏼
@@HiddenColorado, Ha! Yes, I don’t start my diaries until the seeds are up and running.
After they are off the runway, I start. You are correct, that probably was around day 10 ;-). Don’t want hopes up and then a failed seedling. Been there too many times lol
And yes, full diary is a must!!!
