[12/26/2020 edit] Finally starting 🤩🤩🤩 As per Growers Choice Seeds, using the water - paper towel method for germination
[12/30/2020] Now in the soil 🌱🌱🌱
[1/3/2021] While waiting for the super soil to arrive, I started planting them in plastic cups.
[1/5/2021] True leaves are starting to come out!
[1/8/2021] More leaves! 🌱🌱🌱
[1/10/2021] In the morning both seedlings were standing tall, looking real good, but in the late afternoon Tangerine Dream fell over and is no longer standing up. Whyyyyyy?😭😱😢
Waiting for citric acid (ordered from Amazon) before fully watering--my water is around 8.5pH and need to get it down to 7-6.3pH.
Misting at least every other day so that it doesn't get too dry (below 30% humidity).
1/25 Watered both plants 1L
They both look pretty 😍
Not planning on watering them again until next week, but please do let me know if I should do so sooner.
1/26 The temperature is reaching 89F (31.67C) after turning the light to max, so upped the fan speed to 5 from 2.
1/29 Watered some more since the soil was pretty dry and some leaf tips were yellowing (see photos). TD = 8" (20cm) / CP 11" (28cm)
They both started flowering. It feels way too early, but oh well, it is what it is. I guess I'll switch the stage to the flowering one here as well.
2/7 Lowered the light as per advice (used to be at least 3x farther up) and removed some fan leaves from Tangerine Dream
2/9 Watered about a liter each
2/21 The soil was dry-ish so watered again 1L each even though only after 2 days. They are no longer drooping (good sign, right?), whew...but some leaves have yellowing tips. Will see how that develops...
2/25 Watered 0.5L each. The air's been really dry for the last 3 days, so misted twice today.
3/2 They are looking sad with some yellow leaves. CP is leaning over😱 I'm too scared to overwater but might be under watering from the way they look. I watered some today, about 1L each, and will check on a daily basis as per friend's advice. I removed the yellow leaves after I took these photos. I'll take more photos later this week and see if they improve.
3/14 Watered ~1L each. More CP leaves are yellowing. A bit concerned.
3/15 See photos... CP leaves that are yellowing have darker brown spots. Why are they affected like this???
3/18 Water 1.5L each.
Looking at the soil, it looks quite dry, pretty sure you'll need to water before next week. Best to check regularly by putting your finger in the soil to the knuckle, if still damp, don't water.
I've had plant stretch and fall over like that when it was getting too little light. Maybe the light it too far up? dimmed too low? I also read it could be caused by dry soil?
Regardless, I wouldn't worry too much, she'll overcome eventually.
Happy growing!
They look lovely! I doubt the burnt leaf tips are due to dryness. I would imagine that is heat burn from when the temperatures went up or nutrient burn because roots hit the hot soil.
I wouldn't worry about it too much just yet. Just water normally, don't overwater thinking it has burns because of the lack water :)
The yellowing leaves are ok at this stage of flowering wouldn't worry about it. She is sucking up all nutrients to produce buds.
The TD cola looks amazing what is the that the size of an arm?
