Germination
09/08/2020 - 13/08/2020:
This grow is one seed of Do-Sweet-Dos by Sweet Seeds and there will also be three other girls in the tent, one of Sweet Zkittlez two of Red Hot Cookies. Dropped the seeds at 10am on the 9th. Transferred them to a cotton pad the next day and waited for the tap roots to grow a little. On the 11th the roots were ~1cm long so I planted all the seeds in the morning in BioBizz Light Mix and put them in a tent. I later realised that the soil was not moist enough which is probably why the girls took 3 days to come up from the soil.
Week 1
Day 1 (14/08/2020):
All four girls in the tent popped out of the soil today and I watered them with 100 ml each of water with BioBizz Root Juice at (4ml/1L). In this grow there will be some upgrades since the last one: we have purchased Air Pots which I will be transplanting the girls into after a week! We will have a humidifier from the beginning, so that it is easier to control the environment when temperatures get too high (we will be using the vapour pressure deficit guideline). We will also be using BioBizz All Mix this time as opposed to the Plagron which should keep the pH balance perfect.
Day 2 (15/08/2020):
All of the seedlings grew so tall just over night! The soil is still moist and not dry at the top. The light is at about 80% intensity and there is a fan blowing the air around as well. I set the humidifier at max during lights on which gets the humidity to around 75-80% with temperature at 30°C. During lights off the temperature drops to 26°C and I turn the humidifier on the lowest setting and the humidity is between 70% and 75%. If they start to grow too leggy I might cover her with a cm more of soil. Although she is quite bendy at the moment, I hope the light will straighten her out soon!
Day 3 (16/08/2020):
The girl was still looking a bit bendy in the morning but straightened out by the evening. But she is growing taller and taller, already at 4cm! I've also realised that because the starter pot is see-through, that might be bad for the roots so I covered the outside of the pot with black carton paper to block the light from getting in.
Day 4 (17/08/2020):
The girl is looking beautiful today 😍 in the morning she was 5cm tall and I decided I cover her up with a cm of soil to make sure she grows strong! At the end of the day she was still roughly 4 cm tall bit the second set of leaves has grown so much since yesterday!
Day 5 (18/08/2020):
This girl is growing beautifully strong and I think has the thickest stem out of all of them so far. I am also already seeing the four new leaves that are about to come out. I sprayed the top of the soil today as it was getting a bit dry but will be doing a proper watering tomorrow.
Day 6 (19/08/2020):
She is looking great today with those beautiful four new leaves growing bigger and bigger, the second set of leaves is almost as big as the first. I gave her 100ml of water with Root Juice today but did not see run off. Although I did notice that there were a few roots sticking out from the tomorrow of the pot that were now bring air pruned, so the roots are definitely strong on this girl and I will be transplanting her in the morning on day 8!
Day 7 (20/08/2020):
The girl is doing great today as well, the news leaves are growing in really fast and they are getting bigger! I did notice that some of the perlite started getting green probably because the soil is quite moist and it's humid. I took those off and the very top bit of the soil to make sure it doesn't spread.

@Sweet_Seeds,
Hey, thanks for the message!
The diaries are 2 weeks out of date at the moment but in real time I switched them to 12/12 yesterday! Will update the diaries in the next few days. We are moving houses atm so didn't want to damage them while they are in flower, which is why we kept them in veg for so long.
Can't wait for them to start flowering!
What deficiency are you troubleshooting for? Have you tried lowering your PH to about 6.2? Also, you should make sure your pots are drying out completely between waterings and maybe get some air going across the soil. Looks good overall, happy growing 🙏🏻🌱
Hey @sparxxx007, the diaries are a bit out of date and I measured the pH today and it has actually been dropping over the past few weeks (5.2 now) so I am actually going to be increasing it to about 6.2 as you've said. I think the issue is a mixture of a nitrogen and calcium deficiency so I have been increasing the nutrients and then realised that the pH was off so the nutrients were not being absorbed properly. Bought pH+ to increase it so will see how it goes! In terms of the soil, it gets very dry between watering because it is an AirPot so no problems there I think.
Thanks for the suggestions!
