Becca Buries a Bean

Day 7, 1 week since germination. She has def perked up since fertilizing her. Her color looks better too.

She really put on her healthy for her photo shoot! Gorgeous lil' gal.
She's going to love that SIP full of shroomed-up soil I have ready for her. 🍄 :Rasta:
 
Day 8 update.

A few milliliters of MaxiGro solution fixed the nutrient imbalance in the rooting cube, but I don't want to use it on the soil because it will cook the microbes and fungi. Instead, I'm using Jones Juice, an all-natural concoction of kelp, natural enzymes, fish emulsion and calcium that feeds the soil as well as the plant. It is intended for succulents but works very well with cannabis, too.

I also found an inexpensive 10W 4000k Grow Bulb on 'zon that should be a better spectrum. I ordered one and it should be here today.

Day 9. The new grow bulb arrived last night and is performing well. Raised the lamp to bring DLI into range using an app called PPFD Light Meter with my old Samsung S6. The bulb is perfect for germinating and veg-ing one plant.

I replaced the gallon of MaxiGro mix with a gallon of water blended with 2 ounces (60mL) of Jones Juice. Gave it 100mL and drained off the excess by tilting the pot at about 45 degrees and letting it drip for a bit.

Day 10. Miss Fruit is responding well to the Jones Juice and the new lamp especially. Hopefully she's past her nutrient imbalance issues.

Sometimes you definitely pay a little extra for the convenience of it being delivered to your door. I do use it but I also try to support local business. Happy Thursday!! 😎✌️

That is true, Scottay, but Hydrobuilder is shipping it to my door just like 'zon would.
 
Day 12. How odd- this plant appears to be sending out branches at it's cotyledons. I don't recall seeing that happen before. Too small to photograph yet.

Day 13. Treated a gallon of tap water with 200 mg of Vitamin C powder to clear chlorine and added back 2 oz of Jones Juice. Going to need it soon and the house plants can use some too.

Looks like it’s really rebounding!
She's perking up nicely, @Phytoplankton. I think I caused my own problem by using the soil too soon after leaching it. Should have dried the soil out & let it rest longer. I did add myco and I foresee Geoflora in her future soon.
 
Good Girl! It's always a nice view to see fresh clean green leaves. 💞
This happens every time I start with used soil, especially FFOF. One of these days I'll learn, lol! :rofl:

What's really stupid is there's a fresh, unopened bag of Roots Organics sitting at the end of the hallway...
 
Day 16. She's praying a bit, a very good sign! The pot weighs in at 23.4 oz and the 5th node is developing. Today Beccabud's bowery is bodacious. :ganjamon:
