Growing from seed - just popped up,germinated in soil 1cm deep in a propagator with a
reptileseedlings heating mattress (from ebay item #292119124101) under the propagator to retain
25 degrees celcious,its winter here and day temps can be as low as 13 degrees.
Spraying gently 6 ph water once in two days into propagator an onto seedlings gently to maintain
70%-90% humidity levels.
in a few days will move to grow room with 2 X 250w MH + MarsHydro reflector 192 on full spectrum on
18 on and 6 off for veg.
Will update from grow room next week
moved to the grow room in 2 litre pots,2 units of 250w mh each for 18 hours on + mars 192 reflector that works at this stage only 6 of the 18 hours.
have 2 temperature monitors and one of them (ebay item #332472350186 works great) controls thermostatically a 400w oil radiator which engages at or below 19 celcious to keep cold out at lights off. (night outside temp can be 7-11 degrees)the 18 hours on are done during night to keep warm room and 6 hours off during day,that method has proven itself in the past for me with best results.
a few small vents in the room to keep airflow + larger intake vent
Installed YI Home Camera wifi connected that gives me a quick look from anywhere i'm at.
flowers begins to form.lower leaves are slowly dying and yellowing on other parts but it looks normal as energy is set to flowers and not to growing.streching is done.
Any ideas about more nitrogen? or just proceed with bloom ferts?
getting more ferts to them....
crystals build-up....
from now on,flowering only with 2 X 250w hps and removed the 400w led due to warmer climate outside
No watering this week - the pot is still heavy and somehow saturated.
So far that lady is building up herself very well.
I would like to share an idea-maybe the most important thing i learned from her this grow,coz every time you learn something new and important-
Previous weeks of her did not look promising as leaves were dropped and vegging was slow comparing to the other ladies here.
And then i decided to heat up and stop watering coz she did not intake from the pot that was keeping heavy...
I LEARNED THAT SOMETIMES,EVEN IF YOUR CANOPY TEMP IS PERFECT (25C) AND EVERYTHING LOOKS PERFECT,THE PLANT CAN STILL GET STUCK BECAUSE POT AREA
TEMP WAS LOWER AND PLANT COULD NOT EVAPORATE AND INTAKE WATER AND NUTES...SO...I MENTIONED AT PREVIOUS WEEKS-I WAS READY TO GIVE UP ON HER AND TAKE HER OUT BUT I RAISED TEMPS TO 28C AND SHE STARTED TO IMPROVE.that way the plant started to "sweat" and "work" to live and so evaporation,nutes and water intake and ofcourse development.
thats what i have learned .
always try to see whats wrong even if you think nothings wrong ...temps can be A BIT higher than what the book says...plants survive and know how to handle
lets c her now make it to harvest
thx all
indica domination is noticable - plant is not streching much and colas are big
yesterday smoked first from it.taste is not too good but effect is indica couch locking with a scent of lifting sativa-overall im satisfied
