Hey everyone !
This is my first time growing weed ! Hope it'll work !
So I started to put the draining perl and then put an organic potting soil then I watch for the moisture in the soil and the ph looked fine first and then I watered it a bit a first time.
Then it displayed that it was a bit too much alkalyne so I decided to put some Ph- solution (used for fish aswell dunno if it'll work) in a glass of water and use it to water the plant so I avoid overwatering it.
EDIT 17/08 20:48
Just came back home and after a bit of stress (for me) I just dug a bit in the dirt to find out that the seed just started to germinate !
I was so scared that I did something wrong that It made me even less patient than usual but hopefully everything is good now !
Let's wait to see our first leaves coming out 😊
It doesn't seems to work tho.
Any solution on how I can lower the Ph of my soil ?
I grow it outdoors on very warmth condition so i'll try to let under something in shade so the soil temperature can stay good 27-28°C atm
This week should be less warm than the last one tho
Hope everything will work and I hope that I'll be welcomed and get help in this new amazing community that growing is !
EDIT 18/08 20:42
So I just checked the plant and it looks like she just has started to get off the dirt
unfortunnatly I check the moist of the soil with my hygrometer and it said that it was wet (I watered it this morning when the soil was moist)
weather is very warm here this summer so I didn't want it to die from the heat and It ended up that I watered her to much
I'll stop to water it until the soil is dry / way less moist.
Hope she doesn't die because of my mistake 😩
EDIT 21/08 22:32
It looks like she starts to recover from the stress she got when I watered her a bit too agressivly
one leaf is shorter than the other but I think it'll be even with a bit more time
Day 3: I looked this morning but I didn't saw anything from the plant, still in the earth hope the seed didn't die, I tried to watered it with 5.5 ph water since the soil was 7.5 hope she'll grow.
Temperature looks good so far 22-28°C
May have to put it in a glass of warer first
It can take up to a week. I really like rapid rooter cubes for germinating. Drop them in, make sure its moist, and let it go. Careful to strike that fine balance of keeping moist and drowning. Nothing to really worry about yet. Best of luck!
I just watered my plant but I got a bit too fast while I was watering it and put lotta water at once and I just saw the plant floating she was almost about going out of the soil but hopefully she didn't
I hope this will not generate too much stress and I don't know what to expect
it will not, as the roots grow deeper, the plant will be firmer. But over watering will stress the plant, be sure no to that again. a plant that small needs no more than a cup of water every few days.
So we're the 23/08 for me and I took this picture at 11:32
The plants looks good, the leaf goes a bit up in the afternoon because of the heat but I don't see any burnt or yellow leaves
She got a bit of stress last week but I think she already half recovered and I hope it'll keep going like that
EDIT 25/08
I'm so happy, I put her in the shades because of the heat but she still looks green and healthy
The only things that am concerned of atm it's her size, saw other ppl growing the same strain I do and the 2nd week was way bigger than mine so I guess I'm missing something
EDIT 29/08
She still looks really healthy, i'm very proud of it and I can't wait to see her growing
gotta buy a canopee ring tho.
This week I'm going to start LST so she can get ready for mainlining in her 4th 5th or 6th weeks, depend on how tall she'll get
I may add nutrients to help her a bit growing
I started to smell something from the plant but you've got to get really close to her in order to smell anything
So far so good i'm really proud that everything is in place now I just need to wait and see ! How exciting !
Edit 05/09
These last day her leaves were kinda falling down and I was very worried of what could happen but I leave her alone and it looks like she recovered ! Also the temperature are more soft so she suffer less from the heat she used to be in
Hey guys !
Not really a question but I'm looking for advices !
I feel like it's time to get her some nutrients !
I don't feel like ordering it on IT since its going to take too long, any advices on what I can take in my nearby plant stores to boost my baby ?
Humus tea, worm casing tea, compost tea.
Banana, apple (just the peels).
Brocolli (a bit).
Boil for some time, let it broke the nutrients down (the opposite of what we want for human nutrition), let it cool.
You can use it pure, or diluted at any percent you like, as it's not hot.
But it does have lots of N, P, K, Fe, Cal, Mag, Mg, Cu, Zn (if you weight your ingredients and then search nutrition facts, you will be able to add up the miligrams on each and know what goes into your girls).
Keep on the great care!
Happy smokes!
Hi guys ! do you know what happened ? watered it 1-2 days when soils was almost dry and moister in the bottom ago few last days were quite windy the outside temperature is OK but the leaves are falling down, do you know what happen ?
Stress because of the wind ? heat ? water?
95 degrees is definitely way too hot for sensitive seedlings to thrive in, if you have any way of keeping the environment cooler around 85 degrees at least then it should help. as long as you are watering when the top inch of your soil is dry that should be sufficient.
Hi guys ! My plant is healthy, looks all good so far but I feel like she's a bit too small compare to a normal outdoor automatic hulk berry do you think i'll be able to do mainlining or should I just give up the idea ?
I don't see the point in mainlining an auto or an outdoor plant. The stress from mainlining an auto will probably hurt it, keep it small, and it will flower before you're ready. Outdoors gets plenty of light and height isn't much of an issue, so mainlining doesnt make much sense to me there either. Even with photos, your end yield may be better, your buds may be prettier, but is it worth adding weeks and weeks to your total grow time? I dont think so. Defoliate to open up bud sites to light and that's it. My opinion, of course, I'm sure its hotly debated, but most people wont even top an auto.
I can't wait to see how tall she'll grow this week since next week should be the moment she starts flowering
So this week i've been quite busy, and I watered her a bit too much so we can see some moisture on the tip of two leaves
Anyway, it has been quite rainy aswell so I don't need to watered her for now
It looks like she started to flower and i'm a bit disappointed as I think it won't give me that much weed at the end of the journey but it's my first time growing so it's ok !
Hi guys !
My plant is growing so far so good but I feel like she could gain a little bit more height and I could end with a better result with bigger yield if I cut some of the small leaves in the bottom of the plant
Any advice ?
Where should I cut ?
Cut the leaves down bottom that aren't getting any light.
Before that, however, cut the larger fan leaves towards the top THEN check the bottom leaves top see which ones aren't getting light. Never cut more than 1/3 of your fan leaves at a time. Be sure to do it soon. If you're in the stretch, don't do it or just take a few. You dont want to stress her out during the growth spurt.
So for this week I ordered Easy Bloom from RQS can't wait to try these out
I may add some support to my plant so she can get some height without breaking
Further more I may also get rid of some leaves so the nutrients goes where the yield are going to grow
EDIT 15/09
I defoliate the two lower fan leaves that barely got light because of the upper leaves so the upper leaves could get more nutrients. I did that yesterday or even before yesterday and she already got one more node which, to me means that she took the change pretty nicely without stressing too much.
There are few dot on the leaves I guess it's due to the stress from the heat and also the stress from the wind, hope the weather would be softer from now on.
I'm so glad she's growing fast like that ! Can't wait to see what's next !
EDIT 18/09
Added a support so she can handle a bit better the wind and it'll help her growing
Last week I was away from home for 2 days, when I came back she suffer from battle against the wind but today (21/09) she looks fine.
I'm going to wait few more days to see how she goes because I want to cut some fan leaves that hide the buds in the shadow :/ any advices are welcome !
EDIT 24/09
Lots of wind and I got some yellow leaves, burnt and curled up on the tips this week I think it's because of the nutrients, maybe I put too much :/
I cut some leaves to let the buds get some more lights
I cut some more leaves last week, looks like she's still fine and new leaves got out but I think i'm going to need to cut some more, some yields won't get enough light
I'd thanks everyone for being so friendly with me and helping me, i'm so happy to be in such a good community ! If you are waiting or hesitating to grow don't and start to grow now ! With a bit of research you'll see how easy and interesting it is to grow !
yours looks nice too!!! feels reassuring comparing against such healthy growth in more or less similar conditions (soil/outdoors etc), well done! (looking forward to see how the LST goes)
@GoodVibeSpreader,scrog outdoors? how? some light defoliating later on shouldn't do much harm but lollipopping it might be stressing it a bit too much don't you think?
@Lowkey_Doc,
Ok thank you so much for the answer I use regular potting soil, this one is for vegetables or aromatic plant
Next time I water it i'll try to do as you said
@GoodVibeSpreader, How’s your grow medium or soil? What are you using? I would recommend that you bring down the ph of the water you are watering with. 6.5 is high and if your ph coming out is 7 you’re close to your 6.5 which is a good sign.
Try to get the water at 5.5 that’s going in then increase to 5.8.
If you’re .5 off now that will give you..
5.5+.5=6 or
5.8+.5=6.3
6 or 6.3 is what it should be coming out if your data is correct.
Keep the ph range 5.5-6.0.
it will not, as the roots grow deeper, the plant will be firmer. But over watering will stress the plant, be sure no to that again. a plant that small needs no more than a cup of water every few days.
