First grow

This being one of my first seeds and my first feminised, I chose the Kalini Asia strain purely for aesthetic reasons. I'm trying to be fairly safe so I've only added 0.5mil of Plagron Power Roots to 0.5L of water on the last day of the first week. I've ordered a Ph tester, so I can hopefully utilise that by week 2 or 3. I'm really looking forward to her growth! Will do some research on LST to see when I can best start stretching.

Germination + 9 Days: Couldn't tend to the plant for a few days so gave watered it with 1ML/L Plagon Power Roots for a few days. Didn't need to water it for until the soil required more 3 days later. I also put her on a 24hrs light schedule, because it was that or 12/12. G+10: 24hrs light & no watering (7) G+11: Switched back to 18/6. Her first real leaves doubled in size when I came back. Her pot fell over, but I swiftly recovered her and watered her with plain water. G+12: Watered with the root stimulator. The humidity dipped to 25%, but am increasing towards the 40-50 range. She seems to have grown a significant amount overnight. At the end of the week, I watered about 75ML per 24 hours. I've also modded a PC fan for it to work with a 5V 1A plug, so she keeps getting fresh, indirect air. Consuming about 2 watts. Won't need to upgrade the fan until she outgrows it.

I've measured the PH of the water, and it was about 7.5 which is too high. Will probably order some PH decreasing supplement in the future. But I'm not sure how much of an impact it will have. I'm also planning on repotting next week since she's growing really well. She has almost doubled in height this week. She had 36ish hours of light because I was unable to manually change the settings for a day. But after she had 6 hours of darkness, she had already grown a nice amount. Next week, after I've repotted, I'll also start gradually giving nutrients. To clarify: I've marked the smell as "weak" this week since I've started noticing she's giving off a slight planty smell she didn't before. It's nowhere near obvious, but when I hovered over it to water it, it was noticable. Let's hope for the best. :)

She seems to have had either nitrogen or other deficiency or suffered from a Ph fluctuation. Apparently, my water reached a Ph of 8.5 so I bought Plagron Ph Min to decrease it to a comfortable 6.5. Also gave her Terra Grow to fix the deficiency. I've also fimmed her and was planning to repot her, but I postponed it to week 5.

She is now repotted into an 11L fabric pot. She received a light watering afterwards and nutrients a few days after that. I did give her a little bit of root stimulator to help her transition. She is now slightly shorter since she is planted deeper into the soil and I've begun LST. The top leaves also show signs of her being fimmed, hopefully successfully. She received a 1L watering with all the nutes shown above, and her colour is back to the beautiful dark deep green with a blue hue. The bottom pair of first real leaves are shivering down and are lost to the deficiency. Luckily I acted fairly quickly so the damage was negated to this. Tip for future me: Plant the plant slightly off-centre, so that it's easier to LST.
