This Grow started with 3 Quick Gorilla and 3 Durban Poison planted, one of each failed to take off. I was given 2 free seeds, Quarter Pounder Auto and White Widow, from Canuck Seeds. Now with 6 plants, I've managed to keep the heat of the day within a reasonable range, very likely that I will be buying a portable A/C to micromanage the climate. Still feeling out the watering amount, but these plants look happy so far.
With initial highs of 80 and lows of 63, I finally was able to get a more consistent spread in temp and humidity with a portable AC. My ranges are now 77-65. At the tail end of the week I started seeing some discoloring, shown in photos. We're close to week 3 and so I started giving light nutrients to help with a possible deficiency. Growth seems to have stalled after a real fast start. Hopefully with tighter climate spreads and added nutrients the ladies will be more comfortable to grow.
Adjustments to PH, Nutrients, and climate control seemed to have saved these 4, but we've lost the Durban Poison crop entirely. Qp and WW have weathered my mistakes better than the QGs but everyone is on the mend.
When growing in Coco, don't forget to charge the soil before planting, it's most likely how we got in this position. Second lesson is that a plant that is under fed will still be better off than one that is over fed.
If by next week these ladies aren't fully recovered we'll be hitting the restart button on the whole grow.
My guess here is that I was over watering and not giving enough nutrients early on. Now, I think I'm watering just enough and need to increase the nutrients. Feels like I've left a lot of growth on the table since I didn't prep the Coco before planting and mishandled the feeding times. They're still growing though, just slowly.
Just about the time the new seeds come in, these plants start to rebound. They're incredibly stunted and we've missed our Christmas target date but a lot was learned throughout the process. A thorough prep for the Coco and a soil PH meter will be added to the next grow, in addition to smaller containers in the germination phase.
