After 40 hrs of germinating using the paper towel method we have a germinated Samoas seed! Moved the germinated seed into a 459 ml pot with potting soil and into the 3'x3'x6' tent where the temp. Is 23c and relative humidity is 48%. Knock on wood we have a Samoas seedling in the next 2 days.
Here we are with a little Samoas seedling 3 day after setting the germinated seed into the soil. The plan I have for this one is much the same of my other 2 current diaries. After 2 weeks I'm going to transplant in to a 2 gallon gro pro warrior pot and let veg. for another 2 weeks before I switch to a 12/12 light cycle. Going to refrain from feeding until it develops a decent set of first leaves as there are nutrients in the existing soil. This is a reg. Seed. Really hoping it's a female, but if it looks to be an alpha male I may choose to throw some pollen on a couple other cultivars I have in the tent. Until next week! Stay kind grow diaries!
With the first week in the books the Samoas is looking pretty good in my opinion. The leaves look a little droopy, because I may have over watered it a bit, but should be an easy mistake to correct. Hopefully by next week it will look a bit happier. I also moved the light down from 66 inches above the canopy to 54 inches above the canopy, because I felt the plant was stretching to much for light. Fertilizer was added, but at half the normal rate because the soil I'm using does have existing nutrients and didn't want to burn the young Samoas. That about does it for this week's right up. Looking forward to next week as we should see some good progression. Stay kind GD!
The Samoas had a rocky start to week 2. What I initially thought was a over watering issue actually turned out to be an over feeding issue due to the already nutrient rich soil. After a solid week of stress, droopy leaves and not much growth I think I finally have things under control again. I transplanted from the 459 ml pots to the 2 gallon gro pro warrior pot and flushed with lots of water. Dimmed the Spider farmer to about 75% and raised it to 60 inches above the canopy to create a less intense environment. After 24 hrs in this new environment the Samoas is showing signs of bouncing back. Let's hope week 3 goes a little smoother than the last.
All and all the Samoas did well in week 3. Topped it earlier in the week, added another led light, lowered the lights to 36 inches above the canopy and added a humidifier to bring up the humidity. It didn't put on as much lateral growth compared to a couple other cultivars I have in the tent. Hopefully that changes this week. I have a sneaky suspicion this maybe a male, but won't likely know for a few weeks. Until next week. Stay kind my friends
The Samoas had a good week 4. Growing real vigorously all week until I over watered a couple days ago right before these pictures were taken. It has been 2 days since these pictures were taken and it's already perked back up. This will be it's last week of veg. as I plan on reducing the lights to a 12/12 cycle by the end of the week. Fingers crossed 🤞 it's a female. Sorry for the pictures. I forgot to turn off the blurple light before taking them. Stay kind GD
Samoas is looking healthy and happy. 10 days since my last post and I've now fertilized twice. Originally I planned on reducing the light to 12/12 last week, but decided to give it one more week of veg. Before doing so. Looking forward to seeing the reaction of the Samoas in a few days after the light schedule change. Stay kind GD! Bye for now.
The Samoas is looking healthy. At the end of week 6 I flipped the lights to 12/12 and started feeding it with a fertilizer more geared to flowering. I should know in a few days if this is a male or female. Wish me luck. Stay kind GD
