This week's grow journal start date is 9/11/2020.
This was the week I decided to transplant all three seedlings to 5g pots - on 9/13/2020. The worst looking plant convinced me to transplant it (along with the other two seedlings). Something was off and I suspected the growth medium. Best decision I ever made; if it was going to die, it was going to die. Looking at it that way I had nothing to lose.
So now, I have continuing improvement and growth! My biggest issue is really the humidity because it's terribly unstable. I'm buying a replacement humidifier with a humidistat so I'm not dashing into the tent at all hours of the night.
All transplanted seedlings turned into growth monsters almost from the moment I transplanted them and added nutrients to reduce transplant shock. And did that EVER work!! All I did was dampen the area where the transplant was to be received, with the above mixture of nutes. Made the "solo cup" hole in the dampened soil, put the baby in place and then spritzed with just a tad bit more nute solution. Just a sprinkle.
Growth not only didn't slow down, it took off like crazy.
Light remains at about 28cm from the canopy.
Light remains set to 'Veg' to give more blue light to strengthen the stalks.
New fan is doing an excellent job strengthening plant stalks.
Feeding schedule and method remains steady for now.
I have a seedling that is alive but has not popped its cotelydon leaves open yet. It almost looks like part of the seed might be stuck and holding it back.
As it stands now, I'm thinking I should just leave it alone and give it a chance to finish the job.
Recommendations?
Use your fingernail or tweezers to remove it. It will come off with little resistance. Just make sure you don't tear the roots by doing it, she's very fragile right now, can't be yanking her outta the ground.
Let's say I have different sets of seedlings that will go into a veg tent 2 weeks apart.
For example, week 1 = first set of seedlings to veg.
Week 3, add to veg tent
Week 5, add the next set.
Is this even legit? Can you just extend the veg period until they all catch up?
Hey!
Yes it could work but I don’t recommend it. I’ll try and break this down.
What you want is an even canopy to get even light coverage to have even growth and in the end nice buds.
The first ones you add will be taller than the last, now to have an even canopy what you could do is train the first ones as they grow, doing some LST or topping them, so that as they grow your limiting their height so the others can catch up. With a bit of work you could get that done. But the last sets wouldn’t be as advanced as the first ones and won’t have the same size or yield the same even though having the same height.
Basically to do this you’ll need to do a lot of training.
I recommend you just pop them in all at once and even doing that you’ll have troubles with getting an even canopy and having the same height.
Even more if there’s different strains.. sativas and indicas which grow differently.
Not even to mention is some or all of them are Autoflowers.
If you check out my diaries I’ve got mostly indicas and Teo sativas.. they’re all in the same tent, started together and there’s quite some difference in height.. which took training and adding support to raise the ones that are shorter.
Hope this helped you make your mind up.
Any questions let me know.
Good luck and happy Growing.
@Ferenc, You should look at the plant photos starting from week 1 and into week 7. I can't believe how this plant's health has turned around! SO AWESOME NOW!!
I keep forgetting how resilient cannabis can actually be :)
