HI. Welcome and enjoy my stuggles and success of trying to grow cannabis for my first time
•Thursday October 4th
started germinating, soaked seeds in water for 18hrs then transfer to paper towel on a plate then cover with a ziplock bag to keep moisture in.(do not zip bag)
•Sunday October 7th
2 seeds germinated roughly 1/4 tap root 1 didnt crack open. Transplanted seeds to solo cup with soil and put them under a 60w CFL bulb, room temp should be between 22°c - 25°c. During the day and at night ok a little bellow 20°c.
•Monday October 8
24hrs light/60w/distilled water
1 seed sprouted its leaves other two are non active.
Day 1•Tuesday October 9th
24hrs light/60w/distilled water
(1 week from today for plant food)
Sprouted plant grew its inner leaves and the other tap root sprouted up while the one that didnt crack open is being soaked in water over night(last effort)
Day 2•Wednesday October 10th
24hrs light/45wLED/distilled water
Received my timer and led light, transferred cannabis to a proper veg light. Sprouts are both 1" high and are looking healthy. Humidity at 50% which is on the low side. The unopened seed is in a wet paper towel trying to further germinate. Will give it a few days before throwing it out.
Day 3•Thursday October 11th
24hrs light/45wLED/distilled water
Not much change, inner leaves growing bigger and seed still germinating.
Day4• Friday October 12th
24hrs light/45w/Dis water
Another set of leaves coming threw on both plants. Struggling with humidity in the grow area its sitting around 50%rh. And the third seed died.
Day5• Saturday October 13th
Not much change.
Day6• Sunday October 14th
Not much change. Moved the led light down roughly 4 inchs and its sitting at roughly 10" from plants.... seems to block the humidity from escaping.
Day7•Monday October 15th
Not much change to the plants.
Received my grow tent 4'x4'x80" and moved the plants into there new grow space. I was able to regulate the rh to 65% and heat is at 25°C which is perfect grow temp and humidity.
Day8•Tuesday October 16th
Introduced half dose of feed to the pants (complete soak)
*lemon tree in the background
Day9• Wednesday October 17th
25°c/60%rh/45watt light 24hrs
Got my ph tester and noticed a little yellowing on the leaves and im almost certain its due to higher ph levels in the tap water was reading 7.8. Ordered ph down and cal/mag to get things back on track.
Day10• Thursday October 18th
Finally ph balanced!
Not much change but one plant is showing signs of yellowing but i have cal/mag on its way
Day11• Friday October 19th
Getting bigger, plants working on the second true leafs desperately need cal/mag for next water.
Day•12 Saturday October 20th
Not much has changed.
Day•13 Sunday October 21st
Leaves are curling slightly so i moved the lights up and there roughly 12" from the plants.
Day•14 Monday October 22nd
-Changed light to 18 and 6
Received my order of Cal/Mag mixed the regular water with a little less then 1ml in 1litre did the same with the nutrients water. also received my fan and it crapped out in 1hr.
Day•15 Tuesday October 23rd
Lifted the lights to 18" and installed a fan
Day•16 Wednesday October 24th
-45w led/ph balanced/RH 60%-65%/24°c
Fan seemed to be hitting on the plants to much so i ended up lifting the fan to just circulate the air. Watch a low stress training video and figured id start training now. Soil drying up. Going to try and let it go till sunday before i water then ill do the transfer from solo cup to pot then water(no nutrients) soaking 2 more jack herer seeds to hopefully start growing with the 45w light and my 1000w light i ordered should be in friday.
Day•17 Thursday October 25th
1000w led veg/ph balanced/RH 60%/24°c
Received my 1000w light today and install it at 20" from top with just veg light on. Added 1 more low stress training to plants and ill be leaving it this way till transplant day on sunday.
Day•18 Friday October 26th
Water day Cal/Mag/H20 2 ltrs each
Plants were wilting either from stress training or being root bound... transplanted them into 5 gal fabric pots then watered them.
Day•19 Saturday October 27th
Plants bounced back when i checked in the morning and they're looking good again.
Day•20 Sunday October 28th
Planted 2 more jack herer seeds that germinated. 4 out of 5 germinated.
Starting to do low stress training
Day•21 Monday October 29th
Lower nods growing bigger from LsT raised the lights to exactly 24" above canopy. Notices some browning on older fan leaf.(shown in pic) Slow and steady.....
Day•22 Tuesday October 30th
Not much changed... took off a bottom fan leaf that was burnt on the one plant.
Day•23 Wednesday October 31st
Bending leaves behind other leaves to maximize light penetration to the bottom nodes. Soil is still damp plain watering on friday with cal mag. Will declorinate water tomorrow morning.
Day•24 Thursday November 1st
Switched tie downs for LsT from string to pegs.
Day•25 Friday November 2nd
water day 14 drops of nurtients in 3L and 3ml cal/mag
Day•26 Saturday November 3rd
Chopped leaves that were low and dragging in the soil to prevent mold from building up. Trained one of the plants one node higher and did some bending and tucking.
Day•27 Sunday November 4th
The leaves on the plant seem to be rejecting some nutrients so my next water will have a higher ph range of 5.6 ph and then add the half dose of nuts with cal/mag. Same old shit with the bendding and training.....
Day•28 Monday November 5th
Steady as she goes... defoliated a little bit tonight. Mostly stuff that wasnt getting light and finger leafs too.Looks good.
Day•29 Tuesday November 6th
Re-trained the plants and defoliated some more. I wont be taking anything else off these plants.
Day•30 Wednesday November 7th
Giving the plants a break to grow.
Day•31 Thursday November 8th
Very minimal LST on one plant and just letting them grow. I should water tomorrow..
Day•32 Friday November 9th
Declorinating water over night so i can water the plants. I put 3ml of cal/mag and 14ish drop of nutrients.
Day•33 Saturday November 10th
Defoliated alot 20 mins before lights off soil is dry i wanted to water but i got busy.
Day•34 Sunday November 11th
water day3L with 14 ish drops of nutrients and 3ml cal/mag. Ph of 6.5.
Day•35 Monday November 12th
Took off a couple more problematic leaves that were blocking light to bud sites.
Day•36 Tuesday November 13th
Noticing very minimal nutrient burn so i have ph water on standby to flush incase it gets worse but the plants look good overall
Day•37 Wednesday November 14th
No change
Day•38 Thursday November 15th
Lifted the lights up a little from 24" to 28"
Topped up the pot with fresh earth, it has pre mixed nutrients so my next water will be just ph water/cal mag. Hope to not defoliate no more.
Day•39 Friday November 16th
Letting them relax for the day.
Day•40 Saturday November 17th
Letting them relax in hopes they start forming buds and stretch for the light
Day•41 Sunday November 18th
