[Week One;
4th may
Seed Soaked over night (18hours) still floating so pressed and she sank.
relayed into kitchen roll sprayed with water. (8 hours)
5th may
No sign of germination but Planted into pot 1 inch down and adjusted heat/Light height to 19 inch from rib of pot.
7th may
Dug down a few mm to see the first life. No shell on head. lightly dusted over and watered for the final time for a few days. Allow them roots to go low. soil is a mix of perlite soil from BnQ on the top, Bonsai soil middle and some plant soil i had around on the bottom. Added some miricle-gro all purpose continuous release plant food mixed in bottom two levels 17-9-4. Plan to add bloom product down the line (help) I read calcium is the main one, as a cockle fisherman have access to 98% calcium shell, farmers use it Why cant I?

Grown alot more than expected. added soil to 1cm from first set of leaves .

Watered 1 pint.
14th may
Can see second set of leaves and believed to be third. (one pint of water every day).
15th may
Seed leaves - First pair - second pair - Third stage; four leaves growing well and fourth set now sprouting from center. Yellow on the current early leaves but believe is not an issue. Hoping for a short plant. 60-80cm max. I'll be first time topping for sure .
16th may
Leaving alone for a few days and friend popping to water. Looking forward to the change.]
[Week three;
18th may
(picture [start of week 3]) ' Third Stage' The four leaves from previous week (' Third Stage' ) now making two tri leaves well, abit of a twist on one side and still yellow on fresh growth, I hope they turn green soon but made good growth overall for two days. Revised Soil, feed, bloom and flush for second seed Dos Si Dos 33. Will use Bloom and flush for this grow.
Next update End of week 3 start of 4.
19th may
LSD auto very yellow on leaves and looks to have brown burn on the tips. Abit of research led to plant nutrition problems but I want to rule out Light source 400w HPI for one/two plants. Light height from plant now 23 inches not 19. I began overnight seed soak of Dos Si Dos 33. Dos Si Dos 33 will show me if its light issue or not as I've ordered a few products to compare them both to rule out the light source i have.
Arrived.

Fresh leaves look great although yellow. Healthy looking but the older leaves browning and curling up. The ones in last nights update, should be obvious the ones I'm talking about. Bought a ViparSpectra 600W LED. Using a 400w hpi, Its too hot in my current set up. Updated 'calculated' temps to previous weeks (1 and 2) as now i have monitored my actual temps.. Recorded 38c before adjusting AC location and fan to exhaust heat from the light source . Accepted you can't 'Bodge' this so a few more aids on the way. They should help along with LED. HPI toooo hot in my current setup SIMPLE. Lets save LSD Auto. Dos Si Dos 33 should be ok, She not germinated yet. :)
22nd may
'600w' LED bought due to 400w hpi too much heat. 11 more seeds for some practice and other bits. Chopped damaged leaves off LSD hoping she heals well. Dos Si Dos 33 Heads poked out the soil. Leaving this one to root in a small container and will move to bigger pot when matured the current pot size.
Week 4
27th may
LSD auto Responded well to less heat (LED) pruned the most damaged leaves off (4 leaves). See new pictures curing well.. B-52 not yet arrive so a top up of previous nitrogen booster 17-9-4. Seen an instant perk. The Dos Si Dos is growing well in its container very green proving the heat was the issue as the same Nitrogen and soil mix used. ITs all Experimetal.
28th may
Transplated Dos si Dos a little early and snapped the roots, half way down.. She has around 1 inch of root growing area left after inspecting just the plant. planted back into bigget pot and hope she finds some roots again. I believe she will survive but dropped another seed into the mix to compensate for the yield. Bulk smash auto.
Week 5 - 5th June.
Dos si Dos in the bin... LSD Auto has been Fimmed and LST'd. Bulk Smash growing ok in cup and a random one I dont remember germinating as I was drunk sending off the Dos si Dos. I'll work it out later. B-52 Added to LSD auto.
