On November 8 I placed the seed directly into my medium and watered with about an ounce of regular tap water. Placed under the Mars Hydro TS600 in my small 2'x2' (70cm x 70cm) tent with an 18-6 light schedule. I made my own mixture of medium and placed it into 3 gallon (11 litre) fabric pots. I read somewhere that the seeds germinate better with higher humidity, the humidity in my tent is only 45% so I placed some clear film over the fabric pot to see if I can increase the RH, not sure that will do anything because of the fabric pots, but we will see. This is my first time so everything is going to be a learning experience.
I mixed up 6 gallons of my medium, made up of the following:
- 70% MoKoko
- 30% Pro-Mix Organic Seed Starting Mix
- 1 cup (240ml) Organic Worm Castings per gallon
- 2 tablespoons Gaia Green Organic 4-4-4 All Purpose per gallon
- 2 tablespoons Gaia Green Organic 2-8-4 Power Bloom per gallon
- Around 5% Perlite
I am very excited to start growing, this will be my first ever grow. I am tired of paying $10/g at our local cannabis shop so instead invested around $500 (total with the kit, seeds and medium). I hope to some day get $500 worth of cannabis from this setup, but that might take a few years I suppose, but I am not sure, I dont know what to expect. Even if I can get 30 grams from each plant then thats like a couple hundred dollars retail right there, so I am hoping for the best! :) Wish me luck :)
The temperature inside my tent seems to hover around 21-22 degrees. Should the temperature try to be the same for all stages? (germination, veg, and flower)
Thank you!
Poke some holes in your plastic to let some air in. Seedlings like high everything except nutrients, 25-27 temp and upper 70 plus. Honestly for your 1st you should have started in plain soil or jiffy pellets, then transplanted. Try to stick the meter inside so it gets a better temp and Rh 👊👍 good luck
The little lady looks to be struggling a little, hope next week goes good. Once she’s out of seedling stage I’m hopeful for some good veg growth before automatically going into flower.
Started LST (Low stress training) this week. On day 17 from it sprouting out of the medium. I have no idea what I’m doing if I did it right or not haha. Time to watch some more videos on YouTube 😀
Continuing LST to try to get more dominant flower sites. Plant looks to be growing nicely. Will just keep watering from the top and the bottom and will see how she grows.
Plant is looking good, nice dark green leaves and looks very happy. It’s just starting to flower now but I don’t see much of a stretch yet. Continuing with LST and top dressed the medium. Last watering was at 6.4
A little bit of defoliation, I can’t really LST this plant very well due to its intensely strong stalks, been an issue from early on, it’s so tough and hard to move even when the soil is dry.
Main cola is getting dense and bigger, but all the other little ones are still pretty small, it will be interesting to see how this one finishes. Gave it a little more worm castings and 2-8-4 this week and will be the last feed it gets, from now on it just gets water ph between 6.2 and 6.8. Will continue some minor defoliation and will try to LST it just for airflow from now until harvest in a couple more weeks.
Just a little defoliation this week, not much else. The main cola is getting nice and big and it’s very dense. The rest of the coals are not very big but this plant has got little buds growing all over the place. I think this plant still has a couple of weeks to go but will have to wait and see, the pistils are still pretty white. This is my first time growing so i don’t have anything to compare this small size to, might be genetics or it might be that I stunted this early on by not watering from the bottom or wrong water ph or what have you.
Will leave it another week to allow the leaves to turn yellow and maybe the buds will continue to plump up although they are looking pretty good already, but it is just a tiny almost bonsai sized plant. It does smell very strong like skunky vegetables lol 😂
Just a few more days now before I harvest this plant. I will give it two days of darkness before chopping it down and will hope for the best. The main cola looks to be a decent size, I just wish there were more of them.
My first grow and I thought things were going good until I harvested the plant. The buds are not very dense and I think that has to do with my environment, light period temps were around 21c and dark usually around 17c, which from what I have read is just too cold. My next grow I will try to keep a consistent 23c all the time and see if that makes a difference. Overall though it was a cute little plant that looked terrific, smells good and from the little bit I tried smokes nice too.
