Ganesha's Evolution

Could be as even just noise seems to be beneficial in the 60-250hz range
That's why I'm also purely thinking it's a mechanical thing of the leaves and stems being in tiny motion resonating having a lubricating effect on the innards

Sounds good to me FB and a good as any theory. I think I would start with a little Pantera or something like Motörhead. lol CL.

 

[Fenderbender]

The leaves pretty much double in size after each dark period, so can't really ask for more really, it's growing.
Just need to let time pass.
They're getting 18/6, temp is 25°c and 70%rh

 

[Fenderbender]

I guess day 6 from husk now as they shed their husk on Tuesday.

The ones in the SIP are almost identical the one in the smartpot is smaller..
Wait, how does it already know it's not in a SIP?

 

[Azimuth]

Wait, how does it already know it's not in a SIP?

They're smarter than you think.

 

[Fenderbender]

Woaaah.. woke up and the two sips have migrated to the fungi forum!
Guess humidity might be a bit on the high side..Or I need to cut down on the trippy music
What do I do with these...

 

[Fenderbender]

I'm just reading that the shrooms can bind to the roots!

"This type of relationship benefits both the plants and the fungus. Fungi have no chlorophyll and are unable to photosynthesize in the same way that plants do. Therefore, they must get their nutrients in another way.

Their solution is to bind to the roots of plants and feed off the carbohydrates and amino acids that they produce. In return, they improve the plant’s ability to take up water and nutrients from the soil. It’s a win-win situation."

So next time I can just bury a Panaeolus cyanescens cake next to my plant?

 

[Fenderbender]

Well they spored all over the place...
Imagine cannabis growing like that they came out of nowhere overnight.
I guess that concludes week one.
I'm gonna lower the light a little bit as I was giving careful seedling energy, get it into veg territory.
The tent definitely smells like there's fresh mushrooms growing in there upon opening.

Too bad it wasn’t the happy kind of mushrooms . But at least you know that your soil is fertile. lol CL.

 

[Fenderbender]

And the shrooms are shrivelled up.
Wonder if they'll reappear, although I'm taking the humidity down as the grow progresses so probably not.

Day 8
I feel the ones in sips already have good potential.
As the first set of leaves if they turn out 2cm-5cm or 10cm that kinda tells me already what to expect next in growth..
These are 7cm so not bad.

I did puff some diatomaceous earth around as I saw some tiny flies flying and being caught on the yellow flowers.
I do not want a hundred things buzzing in there.
The smartpot seems to be catching up, I'm only using wicking on her as well and I might continue to do so as why not?

We've got a streak of warm weather ahead which isn't great for the tent but it cools down quickly at night.

 

[Fenderbender]

Day 9 looking good.

I kinda have the urge to put a little something something in the res.. as they're now running on acidic spring water basically.. but the soil is prenuked... pretty heavy, for 6 to 8 weeks they say, so I probably shouldn't.
But I know there's some roots that will go tap straight at the water, to give them a bit of an instant meal.
Maybe at the end of the week when they've shedded the baby fat.

 

[Fenderbender]

Day 11
Although they still need to get their night cycle.

I've ordered one more of them sips as they were still on sale.
I can probably put some hydroton in it and then drop the smartpot in it and feed that, then I have all three running on reservoirs.

 

[Fenderbender]

It's too hot!
Tent temperature is not ideal.. and it's gonna be like this till Tuesday.
Well I was going to wait out September for growing yet here we are.

 

[Fenderbender]

Really can't complain about the evolution, from day 1 just steady growing and development.
I've got some tear as well Melville! the outer layer has gone very thin and transparent and is tearing around the stem... and well since they still have to get their dark period it's technically still day 11

The light is an absolute powerhouse, but that is a bit of a problem as when you do run a bit of power through it then suddenly warmth starting to come off this thing and under the light the temperature shoots up a lot.
Kinda makes me wish my tent was 200 or 220cm's instead of 180 bit of breathing room wouldn't be bad.

 

[Fenderbender]

Now they've all started day 12

Kinda want to give this one some food

And the smartpot could use a soak as well.. as she's getting pretty dry.
I think I'm gonna make up a batch of week appropriate nutes and feed them all a little.

 

[Fenderbender]

Start of day 13
This is a plant.. I mean if one is too careful you can nurse a seedling for 13 days and not be here.
Friend of mine does that he keeps a seedling around for 20 days before he gets it to take off.

Sad that the one in the smartpot stays so small. Development is okay but she's a miniature of the others.

Tomorrow things will start to cool down, then I will be able to turn up the light again and increase the vegging PAR as now they're on the low side but enough to grow fine.

And on day 16 I'm probably going to tie them down.

 

[Fenderbender]

Start of day 14
I've actually increased light hours by two to be able to continue to veg at just 76watts as I would think 20hrs at 76w is less than 18hrs at 114w
The plants receive 40 on the DLI or 600par.
As long as the plants fit under the modules I thought that's the better option than upping the power.

I switched them around, the biggest in the middle so she gets the other two modules shining under them leaves.

 

[Fenderbender]

I finally gave some nutes.
Next time I'm going to make the effort to get the Plagron soil again, that stuff feels like velvet compared to this.
Preferably the lightmix so I can just start a feeding schedule after the 1st week.

 

[Fenderbender]

This was yesterday before the nutes..

This is this morning, for the plant it's still the same day, lights go out in a bit.
Especially at the water meter you can see how far that finger travelled over a couple of hours really.

These are growing fast so they need be fed Seymour!

 

[Fenderbender]

Exposure therapy,
I've added the Smartpot as well, some real wind and Sun, but I mainly wanted to do a colour check after the feed and it's looking better.
The other SIP should be here tomorrow or Friday and I think I'm just gonna try a transplant instead of the soaking through the fabric idea.

 

[Fenderbender]

I guess this concludes day 15
Lights go off in half an hour.
Last day of symmetry & order as when they wake up I'm going to tie them down.
And install the third SIP as I just got note should be delivered this noon.
