12/4 Seed planted direct to Fox Farms Ocean Forest. no PH adjustment on water (Tap is aprox 7.4 and soil is currently around 5.5), will continue to monitor soil ph and adjust as needed to maintain proper range of +/-.5 6.5 PH. Seed has humidity dome and is being watered by spray bottle. lights 20 inches above at 50% intensity on 18/6.
12/8 Seed has sprouted, dome has been removed. Lights raised to 30 inches at 100% intensity. will water by spray bottle as needed to keep moist until first true leaves appear.
I've never grown in soil before,currently soil is a touch acidic at 5.5. what should i target as my PH for water to raise PH to aprox 6.2. currently not adding nutrients and dont plan to until plants show signs of hunger.
12/11 Seedling looks healthy with visible daily growth. paying close attention to stem length, will adjust height of lights if needed to avoid stretching. continuing to water by spray bottle and maintain humidity with room humidifier. presumably most of the growth is under soil right now. PH in soil has corrected.
12/13 humidity stable between 65% and 70%, temp stable at approx 68-71 degrees. leaf growth is noticeable daily. fan introduced to circulate air and strengthen stem throughout growth.
12/15 watering with spray bottle more frequently, only watering leaves early in morning. first true leaves are continuing to grow and second set of true leaves have started to grow
12/18 Had a couple days of slower growth. very slight curling on edge of leaves due to over watering. issue is now corrected and plant has resumed healthy quick growth. will also monitor for any heat stress as possible cause of leaf edge curling.
12/20 First fingered leaves have started to grow in as well as leaves for next node set. Room conditions are stable may purchase larger humidifier to reduce time when humidity drops due to need of refill. will also be insulating heat pipes in room to reduce risk of heat spikes on cold days (winter in cold area).
12/25 Plant seems to be a bit behind where it should be (I estimate about a week) I think i was over watering. I am now checking by hand rather than moisture meter as i dont think i was getting an accurate reading. Waiting for nutrients in mail. will start on root booster as soon as it arives
12/28 switched to watering 3-4oz ph'd water every other day and plant has reacted very well. dont think i was letting roots breathe enough before. plant is naturally leaning due to some early stretching, may use to my advantage soon for LST as it should provide less stress to encourage growth in that natural direction.
12/30 Plant is receiving water every other day and has resumed rapid growth. will likely start LST in aprox 7-10 days
1/1 Plant received first dose of nutrients today. very light dose of biobizz root juice. hoping to recover a bit of the root development that may have been slowed or damaged by over watering
1/7 started full veg nutrients a few days ago with LST. Was going to train the plant a bit further horizontally, but stem seemed to double in thickness in about 2 days so i'm going to play it safe being as it is my first grow. Leaf production has become far more rapid and the plant will likely start taking more water soon. First seven fingered leaves are appearing, as well as lots of growth to lower branches. A light smell as been forming for about a week now, but is only noticeable when i am actively looking for it.
Will likely be posting a bit less in the next week or two, possibly longer due to an old neck injury. will try to summarize all new feeding and training methods
d44- Plant is in Pre-flower and stretching out nicely. Every day I see more pistils and the branches are now stretching out to gain good light exposure for bud growth. a series of factors (caused by myself) led the plant to be smaller than potential, but all things considered has remained fairly healthy. The plant saw inconsistent room conditions until week 3/4, as well as over watering until about that point. It was LST'd improperly, then i undid the the LST. I know auto flowers hate stress, but this is why i am only growing one plant to start. I have made many of my mistakes early and somewhat on purpose to learn from them. I believe the plant should still yield relatively well and based on the current smell, should be pretty great quality as well.
2/1 d55 Plant has seen every type of stress at this point. over watering, nutrient burns, poor lst technique, bad room conditions. Still it seems to be thriving all things considered. It is in the later stages of pre flowering and the stretch is slowing down. i will re introduce nutrients soon in lower volume as the plant seems very sensitive to nutrients. after recovering from undoing the LST, i began tucking fan leaves to increase exposure to bud sites. Im trying to keep a low stress environment from now on for the plant. I believe i should still have a decent yield from this plant, especially considering all of my mistakes.
Plant is one tough SOB, i made almost every newbie mistske there is and the quality/yield still seem great all things considered. Havent smoked the strain in over a decade, but it smells exactly as remembered.
Will sample and updat after drying. Will post full review after cure
