too cold to germinate properly in soil, sprouting took longer than normal, the shell stayed on, the seedling tuned purple, and basically black and looked dead. I gave up on it for 48H then said well if its dead, it will stay dead, and if its alive I can give it a chance to fight. Moved the seeds upstairs to the window to get warm and get light, then watered them. They came back to life!
4/5 germinated.
1/4 germinated was upside down, and died as i tried to fix it.
3/4 of the starter pots had bad seedling soil, it was too thick and needed lots of perlite.
Moved the seeds upstairs to the window to get warm and get light, then watered them. They came back to life!
They got super leggy and moved them into a closet, placed the 100 watt LED 36" above them, and plastic bottles above them for humidity.
green algae formed on the top of the soil, from too much humidity, too damp soil, and no real wind / air circulation.
Very stretchy but now climate is dialed in, 150 watts total 3/4 lights on, 73 temp, 70% rh.
covered soil in perlite, let dry completely, took off humidity (45%) and let die. one plant wilted hard as a result but bounced back very well, still droopy though.
Second Grow and same problems
plant 1) some deformed twisting first set of serrated(W3 apr.14) brown spots between veins on older leafs (W4)
plant 2) tips getting yellow and fading(W4 apr.25) yellowing of tips and older leaves, (W5 apr.29) green fading on tips, gold edges / tip
Salut le jardinier , sur tes photos on vois clairement une petite avec les feuilles qui retombent et ca c'est pas bon et ca arrive quand tu donne trop d'eau , je m'en rappel j'avais tuer toutes les boutures de mon ancien colocataire comme ca et il a pas vraiment aimer. t'a aussi des pots minuscules et avec des pots comme ca t'a pas assez de terre du coup la plante bouffe les engrais super vite et elle est toujours a manque , en bref c'est le trop d'eau et les petits pots le problème. reste a la maison et fait pousser
So I was planning on just vegging these girls inside then throwing them outside right about now to veg another couple months then harvest after October, BUT I ended up winning the newbie of the month grow, so now I plan on doing 1 or 2 auto-flower harvests outside in a greenhouse instead.
I think I will, up-pot the 2 gal into a 5 gal, and keep the 5 gal inside the tent. I think I will switch to flowering light 12/12 next week, to allow the transplant a week to recover. I will let both plants grow naturally and mayyyyyyyybe just lollipop the bottom 1/3 and then I will not touch it after the first 3 weeks of flowering are finished and it no longer will be stretching.
I will up-pot the very tall 2 gal into a 5 gal and then place it outside. I then will transplant again into a 10 gal pot just before it starts flowering in September. I may train it to control it heights (LST, topping). Then I try to do 3 autoflower seeds next to it all outdoors basically, and hopefully I can get 2 full auto-flower harvests by the time the photo-period is ready in November.
This will leave me sadly with only 2 plants again in my 4x4 grow tent :'( At least I will have lots of room.
I could consider another scrog, maybe veg another 2 weeks, top and LST this week and next, then let rest for a week before I switch to 12/12. Then I can continue to LST for ScroG until the 3 week of flower when the stretch stops. I also just want to grow weed without touching it as nature designed to try.
Its only my second grow and i'm curious. It's hard not to just increase yield, and maximize my space, but I think i have to hold off and just grow naturally.
