Good start to the week - bad ending.
After dropping the light on them and crushing them in week 1, I was just happy they were still alive this week. They strengthened all week and were looking good.
It's been very very cold here, so had a heater nearby to keep the temps up into the upper 70s/low 80s, as they really perked up with the slightly higher temps.
Then... The thermostat on the heater failed and I found them at 132degrees.
Leaves were all brown and curled up and thought they were dead, especially the little one (that I broke her stem in week one :( ).
They've recovered a bit over last two days.
They have stopped growing (they were doing amazing.... Really great growth for just two weeks!!),but now nothing last two days as they struggle to recover.
The top growth though hasn't wilted, and the stem has stayed strong and doesn't appear to be going limp.
I think the bigger one will make it - not sure about the little one yet.
Will know in a few days.
Assuming they survive, will transplant into bigger pots, and hopefully top late next week.
Holding off on adding nutes so far... Will start this week.
Been a rough ride for these girls these first two weeks
All previous grows were Auto's, so learning with my current photo plants.... Question on flipping to flower... I'm at 18/6 now. Do I just make the change in one swoop to 12/12, or is it better to progress there (taking 30:minutes of light out of each day until 12/12?).
Great advice all; That why I love this place - tons of experience and perspective.
So my take is that I can do either, just jump to 12/12, or progress.
Different perspectives but knowing that either is OK is what I needed.
I'll probably split the difference (progress over like 3 days)..
Thanks all.
@DoDrugs420,
Thank you!
Ended up being a pretty intense smoke.
Sativa heavy supposedly, but damn it hits hard. Not one for the workday for sure.!
Peace!
I'm growing some gelato using leds for first time.I have different genetics,and my girls look nothing at all like these ones..I'm also growing Jack Herer.They're 19 days old from seedlings and so far the led light has made a ton of difference and my girls had to be put in 8 litre pots already as their roots we're getting tangled in the bottom of the 1litre pots I use for babies.I'm using sensi grow a&b @ 1ml per litre of cool,not cold, water.Slight nute burn but will half food to 0.5ml per litre water (pH 6.5), til burns gone..Mine take 8-9 weeks flowering too,not 14..It's so weird how the same strains are so different from different seed banks.I used seedsman seeds this time,as recommended on ILGM forum..Happy Growing!Hoping mine will look just as nice as yours!!
@pompeysalz29,
Thanks for the kind words, friend!
For sure - even my two girls seem totally different (one 44", the other 32") - and I treated them the same, rotated them around the lights, etc.
Crazy!
Sounds like you off to a good start!
Post them so we can see too!
