I planted the seed in soil on 19/10, the plant came out on 23/10 and she made her first true leaves on 25/10. Today 27/10, on day 7, she's popping out her second pair of leaves!
Soil is the same of the bigger sister, I just addes some coffee grounds mixed to the soil and watered it with tap water and 2ml of root !t. On day 5 I gave some more tap water with no nutrients.
My goal is to keep it grow like a bonsai in this little pot. I guess I should apply topping tecnique, so any advice would be appreciated.
Day 8: She's pretty!
Day 9: The plant is tiny and little but my impression is she will explode soon! She's very quick in putting new leaves, she just needs to get taller.
Day 10: The plant looks much bigger than yesterday!
Day 11: Her development is started, in a week or so she will be a nice bush!
Day 12: Nothing to report.
Day 13: Nothing to report.
Day 14: Some hours of natural light!
Day 15: Nothing to report.
Day 18: Today I gave her some water, likey 200ml, added with some drops of Bio Grow. The soil has been mixed with coffee powder so I guess it should be balanced in nutrients for the whole vegetative period. Actually she's outside under the sun. I noticed she look very small, like a bonsai. Ok, the pot is not so big, just 1.5lt but I see internodes very close one to another. I'm pretty sure she won't get huge, but some more bigger leaves would be appreciated! She's quick, so she would start flowering in a week or two... so she has to get bigger very fast.
Day 20: I gave her some tap water added with calcium.
Day 21: She's growing but very slowly 😢 Have been the whole day outside with a nice warm sun.
Im going to put money down on your color spectrum isnt right as well as wattage and room reflection %. Check out my 2nd grow diary. Will give you an idea of what is required for 4 plants to flourish perfectly in just a 3x4x6 closet with just mylar paper on walls and floor. Good growing brother.
Day 24: she's growing very very little, the space between internodes is getting bigger, but she develops little by little. She takes 5-6 hours of autumn sun almost everyday, I hope it helps. The first leaves are turning yellow, but I guess it's normal cause of plant's life cycle. I'm wondering if she has microscopic flowers somewhere on the stem... Anyway, the overall conditions looks good, maybe the leaves color could be a more brilliant tone of green but I suppose this is her normal color. I keep my fingers crossed!
Day 25: Today I repotted in a larger pot (from 1.5lt to 5.6lt), trowing away much of the old soil. New soil is PH 6.2-6.5 and has been watered with tap water and no nutrients. I know iit's stressful for the plant but I hope it helps her to start growing.
Day 26: I placed a new led lamp 20cm over her. Photometric data are in the pics.
I just tested soil's ph and it's 9.5!! maybe this is why she doesn't grow! now the question is: How can I lower PH value almost instantly? Should I add some PH corrector to the soil or do I have to change soil? pls let me know, thanks!
Day 29: Honestly I'm losing any hope... I checked other diaries about Quick One and it looks a very unstable strain. Different plants have different heights and features. I changed soil and illumination but nothing seem to happen. I noticed new leaves are growing very slow, old leaves are turning yellow, I guess she won't last long. In the pic leaves looks very yellow, but they are a kind of light green.
Day 31: There are little signs of growth. Leaves look more green and seems to develop faster. we will see in next days. Update: she looks unlocked! from moring to late evening the growth looks clear!
Day 32: new leaves are almost done
Day 33: She seems healthy now!
Day 68, the dog broke the main stem, she was so thin, I tried to fix her but doesn't work... I'll be waiting to see what happens to the rest of the plant. This has been a very unlucky grow
