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.
