Germination
4 years ago
Not sure of the exact strain its in the girl scout cookie family, put in a random strain just to get this diary started. I put 5 seeds in a moist paper towel, sealed into a zip lock bag and put into a cupboard. Once the seed cracked I put all 5 in separate solo cups with drainage holes at the bottom. Soil used was fox farms salamander. Aerated the water and ph balanced to 6.5

In week 2 from germ, on 1 of the plants the seed was stuck on the leaf, I carefully tried to remove it and ended up damaging the plant. The damaged plant is the smallest of the 3. I will call him Steve. Aerated 1 gal of water, brought solution to 850ppm and then ph balanced to 6.5. I added 2 shot glasses of the mixture to all 3 containers. Continuing 24 hours of light.

Its so cool to see the growth! Still first grow, week 2ish after planting. Checking on the plants multiple times a day. Watering very lightly everyother day. Constantly looking for any issues. Anyone know of a good cheat sheet for deficiencies and remedies? I'd love to have a poster to hang on the wall to identify issues quickly. Cheers!

Was so worried about over watering I under watered. Plants seem to be bouncing back pretty quick. I cut off the dead leaves and hoping they'll be fine.. Transplanted Monday into a 1 gal pot using happy frog. Should have transplanted sooner, live and learn.

Transplanted from 1 gal plastic pots to 3 gallon fabric pots. I've never defoliated before so I did a light, medium and didn't defoliate the last plant. The idea was to see how much defoliation I can do without hurting the plant. I also did another round of topping.

Noticed RH dropping below 40%, added a cereal bowl with around an inch of water and a towel in the grow tent in front of a fan. Raised RH by 6%, added a second bowl, stable at 51% rh, buying a humidifier

Side note. RH was dropping below 40% when fan was on setting 2, assumption that the fan isn't sucking in enough air from outside the tent. Increased fan speed to setting 4, dropped temp from 75 to 74 and brought RH up to 55% after about an hour.
