After 3 days the little plants started come out from the soil, after 8 days they are already 12 cm long. Unfortunately my cat ate 2 of the 5 plants, and now i have to put the other 3 in an higher place.
Yeah was too far from your light source. What I would do is transplant it into a bigger pot and bury the long stock. Leave about a inch to inch n half up. Buried stock will grow roots after couple weeks.
Today (first day of 3rd week) the babies has change pots. The new one are 15.4 L each, i hope it's enough. The initial error i made (i didn't give direct sunlight during the first days) caused the plants to become weak, expecially the stems, and the wind of these days has almost broken them. I saved them thanks to a support.
In the new soil i put 10-15% of perlite and 1.5 g/L of GHSC BioGrow mixed in.
I also put a plastic net around the pots otherwise the cat would eat the plants.
At first I made mistakes out of inexperience, but I hope that over time they can be repaired.
See you next week ;)
Yesterday i spayed enhancer as foliar application 0.3 g/L . Today i found One of the girls like this. Why? Why the other 2 are ok? There Is something to do?
Hey there 👋
She looks like she’s gotten off to a rough start. I wouldn’t give up on her yet. My assumption is that she is just too small still, and couldn't handle the dose of spray. If possible, re-spray her with just some PHed water, to “wash” off anything remaining on her. Give her a week of more before deciding her fate. Smart move cat proofing
Happy Growing 🌱
This was a sad week because it was also wet and rainy, without sun and we lost one of the girls. I sprayed enhancer as a foliar spray, in the dose of 0.3 g / L and the next day it was dry. I can't understand since the other two are doing very well. Maybe it's fate, on the one hand it's okay because in my country cultivating is illegal, and one less plant would bring me less problems if I were discovered. I hope to continue without other problems.
Good growing everybody.
After the death of one of the girls, I used her pot to plant basil, and I put some basil plants in the pots of the other two, as a consociation. The pot is quite large, I don't think the roots get annoyed with each other. Otherwise everything is going well, the girls are growing up. One of the two has a yellowed cotyledon, but I think it is because it was stuck between the stem and the support of the plant.
Se had 2 rainy and windy weeks, not so good, but the ladies are going on well. The strange thing Is that i watered only the transplant day, 5 weeks ago, and thet still don't Need water.
I watered the plants on the day of the transplant, 5 weeks ago, and never again. The girls are fine and growing up but something does not return to me, (the ground is full of perlite (15%) and the pots have never been exposed to rain). They could have grown more with more water?
The only explanation i could have would be that it had minimal roots 5 weeks ago and now that the roots are built it should start consuming much more water. So definitely water now cause the leaves do look like theyre starting to droop slightly.
Today I started using some technique on one of the two plants. I thought of combining FIMING and LST. It is the first time that I cultivate, and therefore also the first time that I use these techniques, I hope everything will be fine. I applied them on a single plant because the other is a little behind and I prefer to wait a few more days, then I thought of using TOPPING + LST to see the difference between topping and fiming. Recommendations are accepted, especially regarding LST. Good growing everyone.
Hi
So these swooping leaves look mostly like a plant who's either being over or underwatered. Or having some root struggles....is the soil having good drainage? Try seeing if they perk up when watered...if not we can rule out under water. Then we need to think about over, or muddy soil or the soils being too hot from these very summer days.
Real Summer has come. Now we have a lot of sun and high temperature. I'm not sure FIMing has work, It seems like the plant Is growing normally with broken leaves. The other one, which i topped, has stopped growing and looks unhealty. Maybe it's time continue LST using new rubberized cable?
Hello friend
So almost every topping and usually fim too is going to cause a slight delay, it's unavoidable. I don't think these leaves are caused by the top at all. Right now you're running at 100 degrees(my yard is too), and is it really only getting 5 hours of light..maybe direct hours? If you have leaves falling off then we need to get this plant some nutrients...nitrogen based, so a "grow" nutrient.
Also with the heat being so high, I've been watering my plants almost everyday, or every other day, to help battle the heat.
A good plant tonic is kelp/seaweed extract, and a silica supplement helps with the whole grow also.
Oi, purtroppo la pianta non prende abbastanza luce e quindi si allunga per cercarla, gli hai provocato molto stess e spero che si riprenda ma io fossi in te ricomincerei da capo e fagli più luce!!!
@Drstormy, unfortunately i red an article (don't remember where) that said not to expose the baby plants to direct sunlight for the first day after germination, this has been the result. Now they're very weak, but i'm trying to recover them, there is a lot of time. Hope well
