Hey fellas!
Never tried growing so this is the first time, watched a lot of videos and read a lot of articles for this!
I got a 40cm X 40 cm grow tent and a cheap TOPNET 75w light, I think it's going to be enough for one plant but feel free to chime in.
Using Biobizz light soil and nothing but PHed water @ 6.3 for the first week, will try out Biobizz Grow, topmax and Bloom starting from the second week (also some Cal mag as my water is fairly soft @ 200 PPM)
at the second/third week I'll add fan for circulation in the tent, at week four I think I'll get a Carbon filter with a blow off fan need to be stealthy on this one!
05/03: dropped the seed in a glass of water for 16h
06/03: moved it in a moist paper towel, temp stable at 25 C
08/03: thought it would take 3 days for it to germinate appropriately but the tail is looking great! I'm moving it into soil in the morning, lights on 24h, it's an auto so it's ok (using a 15L fabric pot, it's better than the plastic ones it seems) (also, I prewatered the soil until it was saturated so that I didn't have to water the seedling for a couple of days)
10/03: IT'S ALIIVEEEE! she's beautiful, btw her name is Marie (with a french accent and r) switching light schedule to 18h/6h now, not for the plan I think it can handle it, but the light manufacturer asks to not keep it on for 24h so...
12/03: the seedling is looking great as you can see from the latest pic, at this point the prewatering of the soil that I did is gone, I only give it PHed water @6.3 (500ml every time that it dries) until Monday, then I'll start with the nutrients
As you can see from my diary the seedling just sprouted, but if you look closely the leafes have some super small white tips. Any suggestions? Thanks ^^
To answer your question. The plant looks like one of the healthiest seedlings ever. Humidity domes are not necessary. Used to use one just slowed the grow for no reason. And 3-5 ml is nowhere near enough. I agree fill that pot with water. Man up and grow that sh!t brah!
My plant is not really increasing in height, in 20 days since sprouting it covered the 25cm diameter of the pot and now it's going out. It looks super healthy so I'm not too much worried but should I perhaps move the light higher so that the plant stretches a bit?
Hi there Matriosky, sorry but i have to disagree with my esteemed colleagues here, you have calmag deficiency as you can see from the yellowing on the serrated edges of the leafs starting with the newest growth first (immobile nutrient) and in between the veins starting at the base of the leaf. It's specifically magnesium deficiency. That's probably because of your intense light schedule : plants just need more Mg with strong lights or long schedules. So what you can do is to increase the calmag you're already feeding as well as to make a spray with calmag 1-2 ml / L and spray twice a week to compensate for the lights. If the problem persists you might need to reduce the light schedule to fix the root cause. If you do this the problem should stop spreading quite quickly and the plant should recover in around 10 days or less. Hope this helps ! ๐
historic stuff:
-Cal mag deficiency, treated it with calmag foliar and extra in the water, it's gone now
-Overwatered it 2-ish weeks ago; waited 10 days for the ground to dry before giving more
- My humidity level is too high for my liking (50-75% depending on watering time)
First time ever and I don't know if I've done well: too many leaves? too little?
I also took some big fan leaves that were covering some sweet bud spots.
Looks pretty good to me! Iโd maybe try and work some LST in to get those branches moved more horizontally to give em room and space to receive light!
Hello again!
Still unsure whether or not I should harvest my Magnum, please find a few photos attached from the calixes and hairs, don't know if the trichomes are ready enough. Also plant was supposed to be ready on week 12, we're at week 16...
Any help is appreciated!
Yo esperarรญa a encontrar mรกs tricomas รกmbar. Si estรก bien que empieces a hacer un lavado y sigas solo con agua! Aรบn veo muchos pistilos sin oxidarse. Presta atenciรณn que no saque pistilos nuevos. Porque si sigue sacando nuevos pistilos significa que la planta aรบn no llego a su maduraciรณn final
@CRiSPrGrow,Hey! been trying to find a way to answer to question answer's but it seems like it is not possible :(((
Just wanted to thank everyone for the help; regarding your particular answer, it seems very insightful, here's what I'll do for the next week or so:
1 .spray the leaves with 2ml/l calmag every 2-3 days
2. water less often, as more than one person noticed the wet soil, considering that I've watered 2-3 days ago I agree that it shouldn't be this wet...
3. if it's not solved/improved by the next week (preflower I think, judging from the smell XD) I'm going to switch the light schedule to 16/8
Kudos to you for noticing the slightly yellowish serrated edges! I thought it was normal as it's very hard to notice and nothing like the deficiencies that I saw online but hey, at least I learned something new :)
