1st timer here and it shows. I tried the method that the fastbuds youtube channel which involves going from the cup, to paper towel, to jiffy pellets! Everything went smoothly I didn't snap a pic of the radicle after it popped I was so excited it threw it into the jiffy pellet. After it popped, then I'll transfer to my soil medium!
Week 1 of air and water, she's still a baby but she's progressing nicely! At first I started out on a 24/0 light schedule but one of the other strains that I'm going was struggling, so I switched to 18/6. Saw immediate improvements in both plants and haven't looked back! The soul is charged so no nutes just yet. Water schedule is about 15 milliliters or so every other day. On day 6/7 I noticed she's starting to drink more, so I'm going to increase the amount I give her and make sure to increase the area of the water I feed, gotta try to promote that healthy root zone! 😉
She soldiered on, no real issues present. Her stalk has a slight purple steak in it, fingers crossed on that deep purple! The timing is around the holidays so my reporting suffered a bit
Week 3, she's doing so well I said what the hell. Roll the dice and take risks! So I have into the savagery and topped at the 4th back down to the 3rd node. This week I also had to step up the watering schedule, from mL to oz (about 30~40 mL to 8 oz). Also started giving nutrients as this is around the time the "charge" from the soil runs out. We'll see where she goes from here 🚀
The lack of updates is due to the fact that this plant dies. As a beginner I was unaware of certain conditions, not the least of which is watering and feeding nutrients. Week 4 is where she started showing signs of what I believe to be nitrogen toxicity. Some of the pictures under the led make the plan t appear healthy. In retrospect this plant is FAR too green to be "healthy". The soil is charged as mentioned but I still fed nutrients. Being an autoflower, I should have done more reading. Most nute schedules are for photoperiods. I fed too many nutrients and too little water.
Sorry week 4 should have been a veg week. On D29 I saw the first pistils emerge. The soils ability to hold moisture was a constant struggle for me. Ultimately I underwatered the plant. Also ignore the measurements from this, somehow I got them screwed up when trying to get them on the site. Something with the metric to imperial conversion 🤷♂️🏿 All the same my inexperience continued
Last week of information on this one. She and her sister held on a as long as they could, but sadly they died. I tried to use some Mykos on the roots,at the recommendation of my local grow store, but it was too little too late. I've provided pictures of the root if someone who knows what they're looking at can discern. I've also attached a few pictures of her CBD 20:1 sister, but the condensed version. Day 43 was when I called it. Root photos are all day 44 ⚰️
Good luck with the grow ! Next time try to avoid transplanting autoflower, they should be in their final pot to avoid stress since they will flower at a designed time no mater how big they are and transplanting can stun them for a couples days :)
@Mordeloth, thanks it's my first and I was unsure so I followed the instructions from the breeder. Having done more research, especially in soil, it seems to be fine to go straight in so perhaps for my next runs I will do that! Thanks for the tip!!
