This was a free seed I received.
Soaked the seed on the 18th and planted it in a rockwool plug and placed in DWC pot on the 20th.
Nutes used were as follows:=
1ml/ltr of Advanced nutrients Bloom, Micro and grow.
Base PPM of tap water is 50ppm
All tap water is treated with 1 drop of Nutralaise per 1ltr of water.
I have a humidifier in the tent set at 75% humidity.
I use an aircomfort sensor to monitor the humidity and temp levels at 5 min intervals.
PPM after adding nutes were at 534 which I reduced by removing 8ltr of water and replacing with 8 lter of ph'd tap water to reduce to 222ppm.
Added two small oscillating fans to the tent, one between the plant and light and one above the light unit. I'm hoping this improves the air quality in the tent.
I messed up a bit on the nutrient levels and probably shouldn't have added any, however, seedling looks ok so far.
No roots visible below the pot so far but it's early yet.
Plant looking nice and healthy, nutrient levels at 250ppm. PH levels drop each day to 5.5 and set back up to 5.9 each day. Going to feed her light and often as she is an auto.
Plant eating only 10-20 ppm each day and about 1ltr of water. Nutrient levels set at 350ppm. PH continues to drop each night to as low as 5.2 and being reset to 5.9 each check. She seems happy and healthy so far.
After a slower start than my other plant she is taking over and looking good. increasing the nutrient levels by 100ppm each week and checking the PH levels daily to keep it about 5.9.
Should be turning on the bloom light today but can't use the other tent so continue to increase nutrient levels to 390ppm. taking from 500ml of water to 1.2ltrs by the end of the week. Continue to battle with PH dropping and having to reset to 5.9.
Plant looking healthy with nutrient levels at 430ppm and drinking up to 4 ltrs in24hrs. Still having to raise the PH levels each night. Overall plant does look healthy....I think.
Plant has really stretched and is just about 4inch under the lights. Going to switch all my plants around to different tents with this one going to my 1m x 1.5m with 2 x 600w marshydro LEDs. Was hoping she wasn't going to be this tall.
Moved to the larger tent and allowed to spread out.
Plant now stretched to much, sitting about a 2 inch below led. Wish I had done some sort of training but never imagined it would get so big.
After much though i decided to chop the top off :( :(, I tried to bend her but the whole plant wanted to topple over. Hopefully she will survive and start fattening up. I have also switched her to 12/12
Would suck if you have to chop those huge colas off. I would try to give the LST away from the light if possible. Either way looking good, this is an auto-flower? what hours is it on? they should stop stretching their third week in flower?
@GanjasaurusRex, She is about 1.3m tall + the bucket. I have her in a larger tent with two 600w leds set at an angle on either side. Hoping she has stopped growing and wants to fatten up.
@KiltedGrower, Understandable, my weather is same in Northern Ontario... Not sure, guess from whoever you bought the seeds from? They said it was auto?... IMO I'd get it on 12/12 I've never seen an auto so big. What I would do is chop it down some, give it a few days to make sure it didn't stress it out, Chop as little as possible, and do so Low Stress Training away from the light. When putting on 12/12 expect a bit more stretching, the third week of flower it should stop and just fill out.
@NorthernFrostCannabis, it seems to have stopped but I had to chip the main and have tied all the other branches down. She is big and bushy and has taken being chopped well. I don’t think she is an auto and have no idea what I’ve planted.
