11/15/20 Initiated germination on 11/13/20 filling a shot glass full of distilled water and dropped 5 autoflower Zkittlez seeds from ILGM. After 24 hours, I poured the shot glass and seeds into a paper towel which I then put into a plastic bag and left in my grow tent at 75 degrees. 12 hours later, I checked on the progress and thus far, 3 out of the 5 seeds have taproots. Will continue to monitor over the next day to see if any more seeds sprout roots. 11/16/20 The remaining two seeds sprouted taproots. All seeds were planted in Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil. Two of the seeds were planted in 5 gallon grow bags. The remaining 3 seeds were planted in different sized bonsai pots. 11/17-11/20 I had trouble keeping the environmental conditions consistent and ended up short cycling my ventilation system, humidifier and heater to stay within my desired range for temperature (72 - 82 degrees) and humidity (65-85%). My ventilation fan was too powerful so it would immediately suck the heat and humidity out of the tent causing the temperature and RH to fall below ideal the idea range within the span of 10 minutes. I would then turn off the ventilation fan and let the heat and humidity build up over the course of 45-60 min before they exceeded their ideal range and the ventilation had to be turned on. I also couldn't turn my lights off for 6 hours each night as temps and humidity would fall to a suboptimal level. I ordered an oscillating fan and decided to hold off on using the ventilation fan until my seedlings got through their second week. By simply opening the intake vents and introducing the oscillating fan, I got my conditions to even out for a much longer period of time. My seedling growth felt very slow when I compared my progress to other grows. May need to take some additional measures soon if I don't see progress.

Hi mate, the first thing that come to mind when i saw your leaves is overwater. This droopiness to me is a sign that the plant in not getting oxygen. From the large fan leaf on the pic see that there is also a ph imbalance. So my course of action would be, first to let the soil dry out, and see if the leaves go back to their normal position (like praying) all up. Then I would flush the medium with a phed water. If all go well those leaves that were affected wont recover but the plant will

I love the bonsai pot idea! I’ll be checking in on this, I got the same ILGM zkittlez auto seeds in an comparison between a 5 gallon pot and 1 qt pot going right now.. good luck. PS I’ve never used FF ocean forest but my understanding is it is quite “hot” or full of a lot of fertilizers so that could have been the issue in the beginning. My understanding is that the seedling has all it needs nutrient wise stored within itself for the first 7-10 days at least.

@SmokeableHobby, yeah that green wire is def my favorite way to train for sure. Experimenting with different training techniques is fun too.. just different ideas and ways to get light to the lower canopy and manipulate the natural structure/growth of the plant in general. Let me know if you need any ideas

@Ezzjaybruh, I do the exact same thing...just sit in front of my tent and stare mindlessly at my plants. Meditating on their progress. I took your advice and ordered some of the green training wire - great stuff! Started experimenting with LST. Will post my progress in the next week.

@SmokeableHobby, hahaha good point.. I was the same way on my first grow, peeking under my DWC at the roots every hour and sometimes just still just sit in front of the tent doing nothing but staring at them. As far as LST products, the main thing is being able to secure whatever you are using to the pot, and that may be hard with those bonsai pots.. I just use the green plastic coated wires, they are real nice. Then there are these cool yo yo type devices I got on Amazon that you can attach to the poles on your tent and they have like fishing wire you connect to your plant..

Is this grown undr only 100watts ?? 1 spiderfarmer sf1000 ? Wtf lol

@Lazuli, I also had a CREE COB LED (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08B8T8C72) in the tent that put off another 100w. I was using this light exclusively for my bonsais but then my 5 gallons grew way bigger than I thought they would and ended up using the CREE for supplemental light once I was a week or two into flower.

Nice grow mate, plants are looking good, keep it up, imma follow this one upclose.

Ezzjaybruhcommentedweek 34 years ago
Looking good! I’ve personally started to wait until the bottom of the plant has a bit more rigidity such that it can remain somewhat upright while the top nodes are bent over - before I start training but certainly no harm starting early! It all depends what you are trying to accomplish - even tho frankly I’m usually just winging it and seeing how it reacts haha. It is amazing how quickly they tilt back up towards the light tho huh?

Man, I’m starting to get some similar weird deficiency/toxicity issues on my zkittlez.. hope it clears up for ya.. buds look great!

SmokeableHobbycommented4 years ago
@Ezzjaybruh, appreciate the encouragement, I sure hope it clears up. Learning a lot from this experience but will be really bummed if I can't turn things around before harvest. Feels like these deficiencies came out of nowhere and at the worst possible time. Hope things turn around for you as well!

I swear it’s crazy the few times I’ve gone on a vacay for even days while growing, my plants seem to thrive and grow quicker.. probably just in my head but it’s always cool to not see them for a few days and return to see all the growth that has occurred. Looking good tho!

SmokeableHobbycommented4 years ago
@Ezzjaybruh, you're so right - I had that same thought when I came back and saw the progress. It's kind of a ego-check. Here I am paying all this attention to my plants, thinking I am curating conditions for their optimal growth and then I come back after a few days of basically ignoring them and they look better than ever. I suppose it is called "weed" for a reason. It will grow despite our best efforts...not necessarily because of them haha. Gotta admit the week 8 report for your 5g Zkittlez has me feeling all kinds of impatient. Love seeing those calyxes and sugar leaves starting to frost up... an encouraging sign of things to come!
