- After seeds germinated for 1-2cm they were put in 2l pots with a hydrated small bag on top for the humidity.
- Light is dimmed to 50%
- Tried to get humidity up by spraying water on the tent walls
Current temperature is 28 C
Current humidity is 45%
Day 4# Alpha got 1cl of water
Day 4# Beta got 0,5cl of water
(Beta got less water because less developed than Alpha. Both soils were still moist.)
Day 6# Alpha growing nice and slow. Soil still moist so no water was given.
Day 6# Beta now fully above the soil. Looks a bit deformed. Currently only one big leave with other leaves still developing.
Soil still moist so no water was given.
Day 7# Alpha, 2,5cl of water was given.
Day 7# Beta, 2,5cl of water was given.
Day 9# Alpha, 2,5cl water
Day 9# Beta, 2,5cl water
Both plants are starting to have crispy leaves, seems like the low humidity is starting to make them vulnerable for heat stress. Lights have been put back to 60%.
Day 10# Alpha, 2,5cl water
Day 10# Beta, 2,5cl water
cut a empty two liter in half and peal the label off, you can make a humidity dome for your young plant, take the top off so you can exchange the air out, close your tent if you have one,
Week #2
Plants are growing steady but It seems like they are feeling some stress from the low humidity. (Especially Beta)
Now that they have a steady base I will water them daily and add some nutrients to the water.
Day #12 Alpha, 25cl of water
Day #12 Beta, 25cl of water
Day #13 Alpha, 37,5cl of water, soil is dry and roots are starting to show at the side of the pot. Let’s see how the plant reacts to some extra water.
Day #13 Beta, 37,5cl of water
Day #15 Alpha, 50cl of water
Day #15 Beta, <50cl of water
Leaves are slightly starting to curl especially with Beta. Leaves are also a bit bubbly in the center. Will probably less frequently water the plants so that they have a longer “dry” period.
Plants are reacting nicely to the humidifier and nutrients. I feel like there are some signs of overwatering so this week I will be extra careful with watering.
Alpha is at the start of the week 10cm.
Beta is at the start of the week 5cm.
Alpha day #18
Beta day #18 decided to wait another day with watering both plants. Leaves are curling slightly and from the pots I see the soil is still moist. By waiting another day I ensure that they have had a dry period.
Lamp was raised to 85%
Alpha day #19 30cl of water, soil completly dry and leaves were starting to droop
Beta day #19 15cl of water, soil not completly dry but dry enough to water again
Alpha day #20
Beta day #20
Plants are growing steady but look tired.
Lamp has been dimmed back to 75%, when dimmed to 85% temperatures rise to 30c•
Currently I don’t have a fan installed.
Alpha day #21, 30cl of water
Beta day #21, 15cl of water
Finally found why the plants look depleted. I did not open the air holes at the bottom of my tent. So the plants were literally suffocating. Next to opening the air holes I installed a ground fan to boost ventilation.
Alpha day #23 is still looking depleted. Not sure what is wrong.
Beta day #23 is starting to come through really showing some progress.
Both pants were potted into 5gl pots (didn’t use the full space of the pots). Soaked the new soil. Hopefully the repotting will help Alpha to get his groove back and for beta to stay on track.
Plants are starting their 4th week nicely climatized to their bigger pots. Plants look healthy and ready for a week of growth.
Something that baffles me is the difference between Beta and Alpha. Yes, Beta is catching up in size and height but the look of the two plants remains different.
Very interested to see if they will begin to look more alike during the grozth of this week.
Alpha is at the start of the week 15cm.
Beta is at the start of the week 10cm.
Alpha day #25 0,8 ltr
Beta day #25 0,6 ltr
Soil was soaked during transplanting. After two days the soil was still moist. Gave the plants some extra fertilized water.
For the next watering we will wait until the soil is dry.
Alpha day #27
Beta day #27
Not watering yet.
Topped both plants.
Alpha day #29 0,4l water
Beta day #29 no water soil still moist.
Plants are nicely growing, started with some LST to reduce the height and let the canopy develop evenly.
Alpha day #31 1,5l water
Beta day #31 0,5l water
Beta’s soil was still slightly moist but I gave her some water because I don’t want to start watering them separatly.
Did some extra LST.
The girls are reacting nicely to the topping and LST. Because of the LST lower tops are nicely exposed. This week will be the last week before flowering.
Alpha day #34 1l water
Beta day #34 1l water
Day #37 Defoliated the plants and put the lights on 12/12.
Alpha day #37 1l water, as you can see from the pictures, Alpha was a bit depleted and in need for water.
Beta day #37 0,5l water
Didn’t put any nutrients in the water to ensure no overfeeding.
Week 1 of flowering has begun.
In the previous weeks we topped the plants did low stress training and defoliated the plants. This week we will not stress the plants and let them adapt to the new light shedule.
Alpha day #41 1l water
Beta day #41 0,75l water
Still no nutrients added to the water. Now that we gave two times water without nutrients next time we will start the bloom nutrients.
(After checking up on the plants, alpha looked a bit depleted. Watering at day #41 was probably to early)
Alpha day #44 0,75l water
Beta day #44 0,5l water
First time watering the plants with Terra bloom.
Both plants are starting to show signs of sex. Seems like they can officially be called Female.
Day #46 scrogged the girls to fill out the canopy.
Alpha day #47 1,25l water
Beta day #47 1l water
In the second week of flower we will keep focusing on scrogging and opening the canopy as much as possible.
Alpha day #50 1,25l water
Beta day #50 1l water
Beta day #51, Is starting to show both signs of nutrient burn, calcium and phosphorus deficiency. Nutrient burn is starting to be visible at the tops of new leaves. Older leaves are starting to get brown spots/patches. The same issues are also slightly appearing with Alpha.
As a solution I will heavily water my plants with only ph balanced water two times before feeding again. This should resolve the nutrient burn and hopefully this will enable the girls to again successfully take up the needed nutrients.
Day #53 both girls got 1,5l water without nutrients, forgot to ph balance the water..
Dear growers,
I’m afraid one of my plants has become a hermie. Please have a look at my latest pictures.
What do you think, pollen sacs or part of female flower?
The 1st pic really looks like balls to me, but the other ones make it look female. If you can isolate it and watch it every 3 or 4 hours you'll tell. Otherwise just kill it ASAP 👊🤞
Both girls are continuing to grow but my inexperience is starting to show.
Beta is clearly struggling with some deficiency as leafs are turning brown. After giving her one watering without nutrients because she had nutrient burn. The next watering will have a very small amount of nutrients to make sure that she has some nutrients if necessary.
Alpha has no issues with deficiencies but I’m afraid she is showing signs of a hermaphrodite. I’m having issues to define if pollen sacs are starting to show or it are calyxs.
Alpha seemed to be a full on hermie, so i removed her from the tent. See pictures of week 7 to see her hermie signs.
Beta is showing good growth and buds are starting to form. There are still some clear signs of phosphorus deficiency. Nutrients will slowly be raised in the coming weeks.
Beta is steadily growing and you can see the buds forming and nodes connecting.
I feel like I now have tackled the deficiency and I will now continue with normal feeding cycle. Two times watering with nutrients (50% advised dosage), one time watering without nutrients.
Day #62 1.3l water with nutrients
Day #65 1.5l water without nutrients
Felt that soil wasn’t completly dry. Next days after watering signs of phosphorus deficiency became worse. I really need to Water less and respect the dry period.
Still having issues with what looks to be a phosphorus deficiency. Now I’m watering 1.5l then 3 days no watering. To be sure that the soil is dry when watering again.
Let’s hope the deficiency does not get worse.
(Lamp is now at 95% power)
Day #69 1.5l watering with nutrients
Day #74 1l water with nutrients
Big leafs still look bad but new leafs are showing up healthy green. Was a good decision to wait a bit longer to water again.
I think this is a phosphorus deficiency. I thought it was because I slightly overwatered the plant. I gave the plant 1.5l water without nutrients then waited 4 days. Then 1.5l water with nutrients will also wait 4 days. The problem seems to get worse. Anyone any advise?
The days After watering last time, humidity rose to 55%. Two days after watering the humidity came back down. When watering today #78 humidity was 40%
Buds are ripening but plant still looks like it’s just surviving. Let’s hope that it doesn’t get much worse.
Day #78 1.5l water without nutrients
Day #82 1l water with nutrients
Plant is getting worse by the day, old leafs are discolouring and dying. Buds are still developing steady. Let’s hope we can finish the full bloom.
Use a makeshift humidity dome for the first couple of weeks. I place the seedlibgs in party cups inside a small transparente Rubbermaid with another on top acting as a humidity dome
