Germination in eazyplugs.
I was realy stupid!!
I putted the seeds in and leave them in the dark. Then they came out... and i left them in dark for another day!
And the stupidity didn´t stop!! I thought - maybe they need more air and i left the windows open (the room was heated to 25 C!) and did not
think that the Humidity will go down through this. So i had 7 Seedlings and killed 3 with a RM of 30%...
Another one was nearly dead... but he recovered quite well.
Anyway this is a traumata for the plants, also for the survivors.
I hope they get over it!
I learned a important thing - when starts the first week!!?? I had now idea! I compared the plants with other diaries... and was very unhappy first.
OK - the seedling state is not the first week (i think now!)
At the 5th day after germination i put them into the final pot. Was it a good idea? I don´t know realy.
The longer the grow goes the more is my stupidity :-)
On the last day of the first week i feeded nutriens the first time... and i took the book nutrient insteat the grow nutrient !!!
incredible!!!
Last Day of week2 - i am quite happy because the nearly dead frodo come out great! :-) He have some problems from the overdose on Bloom Nutrient (OMG) ... but he gets slowly better.
Gandalf which grows great get his first training. My first time i did this... we will see...
I put a second oszilating fan in the room which was a gread idea!! Now is the temperatur under control and i could lower the light at day 12 down to 45 cm... they like it until now.
Waut another 2 week the olant will be establish weel routted and have enought growth. You can always lower the leaf lwer then its internode to force the growth of inrernode.. what most oeople don't understand is the interaction of hormone balancement with positioning of leaf stem and all.. that wieri g belongs to the bonzai world sur looks cool. I prefere to remove less has possible. I grow my plants very flat canopy without toping when i want to.. its all about playing with hormones. But i would wait 4-5 internodes. Has not to weaken the plant by toping and removing more then should be preventing it from breathing and stop transpiration (stuning and death)
First Day of week 3 - adjusted the training for Gandalf!
I will follow the great recommendations and wait another week for starting the training with Arwen and Galadriel.
Frodo is still small... but i beliefe in him!
Last Day of week 3 - great week!!!
I discovered that i have a PH problem - and i resolved it. The ladys liked it so much :-)
Training is going on on Gandals and he has a enormous stem for this age. Galadriel get his first 2 days ago and Arwen today. Very interessting thing :-)
... except Frodo... he is still to small (but beautyfull:-)
In this week again a few problems with humidity. I ordered better equipment. I understand now bad equipment = bad result. Like in everything.
Changed yesterday to 1L watering ... (today no water)... i think they like it.😁
It is best to completely saturate the medium and wait till it dries before watering again. Or you run the risk of creating a very small weak root system. If the soil isn't wet the roots won't go there. Remember overwatering comes from watering to frequently not to much at one time. 🤘😤
What a great week! I love it :-)
Every second day 1L of water with nutrients. Every second day adjusting the LST bendings.
I broke the top of galadriel, but she didn´t even recognize it after i treat hear with tape.
Next week somewhen will flowering start! :-)
I am happy! :-) They grow!
2 of them are much more forward ... different hight, stems and everything.
Switched the light this week - now i am on HPS - totally different light! :-)
Great week... after...
I was confused because the 2 of the plants are very different.
No of them look sick - so i am quite happy :-)
A lot of defoliation this week! We will see! :-)
Last Day of week 7! Is it week 7????
Over all i am happy... But a lot of thoughts! :-)
How can be plants so different at the same conditions??
A big question is the counting of days. How to compare diaries or anything if there is such a hassle with counting or when to start which counting ?:-)
PH is big headline! Very important.
It gets a little routine now to have one day with less effort, but each day gets minimum on times a close inspection....
How can they be so different?
Sown on the same day, germinated same day, also shocked same day :-(...
Can it be that "the little" does not come at all? Is there anything I can do?
Nothing to worry about as long as they are healthy! Even the same strains for the same breeder can vary a lot. Genetics be weird like that. They look good to me!
Two are really nice - fat buds that develop there. One is felt 2 weeks behind those - but one is extremely retarded.... Buds do develop, but they are extremely small and slow.
I water now every second or third day, and until water comes out...
I have problem with one of the plants.
She is the biggest one - and have brown spots and yellow tips on the leafs at the buds.
I am quite scared!!!
What can i do?
2.5 gall
WATERING VOLUME PER PLANT PER 24H
Are you really giving them so much? 5 l in two days for all or per one? Have you heard of DWC?
Burnt tips might be really nutes overdose. You can always wash soil till quite clean water runs out of the pot. Many people wash soil before flowering and then go to flowering nute schedule. and then flush again every 2-3 week. It is the simplest way to get rid of wrong feeding consequences. You might feed well, but in this case it could be particular plant trait, or soil salinization. 👌
Buds are not getting big!
If i compare this two plants... I think i have a real problem on one, because there buds are not fattening.
Is there anything i can do?
Yeah! Just give it time! Phenos can be very different! Even similar seeds feed - and look different! Just like you can your siblings! Just give it time! Good luck ✌️🏻💚🌿
In the middle of 10th week....
4 totaly different plants.
Autoflowering plants are small. For me as a outdoor grower it is like diving into the bonsai world :-)
It is not UNinteressting to dive into the indoor world - BUT - it is a total different world! :-)
4 Plants - Gandalf, Galadriel, Arwen and Frodo.
VERY different Plants, as you see at the images.
I had a lot of fun (and thats the reason:-) to make pictures of the ladies. Taking out any of them into the photo studio :-) :-)
They are ALL so little in height and ....
As an outdoor grower it is quite :-) :-) :-)
Is it worth?
The last week before first harvest! :-) :-)
I am happy over all.
I know now that i am stupid, non well educated on what i wanted to do.... BUT - i get a lot of help here! ...and in a few other websites.
THANK YOU!
YEEESSSSSSSS... :-)
It looks not toooo bad for my first indoor-grow.
Shame on me - i lost so much outcome because it was my first try and have no realy knowledge.
I am vERY excited, because 3 to 5 days from now, i will harvest 2 of them.
I think the other 2 need more than another 2 or 3 weeks.
Today, at the end of the last week before harvesting, i did a lot
of LST and a lot of defoliation. Little space! Between plant and groud, top of the soil in the pot to the plant.
Today - 50%/50% of clear/milky trichome...
Important things i have learned in this first indoor grow so far:
- WOW, what a fun that i can have this personal influence on the grow of the plant! :-)
- TAKE CARE on seedlings (thats the part everything starts) and it is for me the heavy part on all!
- PH is a LOT
- If you use LST - dont forget to do it (i was off on this from week 4 to 6 because lack of knowledge - which costs me now a lot of volume... )
- THINK A FEW WEEKS IN FRONT BEFORE ACTION :-) Means for me: read, read, read and have the right hardware and decisions available at exactly the right moment...
AND - have everything there when you need it! (PH+/-, Calcium, Neutral Water, GOOD tools for mesure, etc etc)
If you start to think about when you need it - it is to late :-)
INDOOR GROWING IS G R E A T! :-)
I love it!
I expect that the "mature" two will not gain much more. But what do you think - the other two? What still goes there?
Due to my mistakes, the whole grow was somewhat divided. A total of 4 plants that have not grown the same but like 3 different.
Very difficult in only one location.
AND also very important - with autos the time is just somewhat limited.
The 2 problem, late, strange but very lovely plants remaining still in this grow.
Triychomes say, YES harvest me, pistils say NO.
I go for a compromise now.
Arwen - she is now since 48h in darkness - i like to try this methode... i a few weeks we will see if it brings really potency.
Frodo - still in the tent...
Since 1 week NO nutrients, just ph 6.1 Water.
Week 13 - Harvesting
Arwen HARVEST today - she is now since 48h in darkness - i like to try this methode... i a few weeks we will see if it brings really potency.
Frodo - still in the tent, but unfortunately, now since 5 days under a veggie light, because i take a lot of care on the new grow and believe that this great seedlings would like more the veggie light.
I read a lot that reducing of light will increase the potency of the buds. So my idea was, give this plant less light...
I think next days i will harvest there too.
Since 2 week NO nutrients, just ph 6.1 Water and very small water. They dont need much now.
Frodo - Harvest today.
Like i was afraid.... just 250gr. (wet) and a looot of popcorn ...
The plant was stunted to much in the first weeks. For my next i will think about if i keep a plant like this and put this effort into.
But at the other side - she was so lovely :-)
I will see how she taste after drying and curing.
