Grandpa's Second Try - Come Join Us!

Temp is at 85 degrees.

rH is at a surprising 57%

Feeling the leaves very gently, it seems that the tips are a little rough. I'm wondering if they are turning. It's feels this way about from the bottom to halfway up. I'll be interested to know what you guys see in comparison. Time to go play with my grandson. He's spending the weekend with us. Yay!

Enjoy time with your Grandson, Gramps! Post a pic when you have the time so we can see what you mean with Jane, have a great weekend
 
Ooooo play time with grandson, I love that.

It may be time to water her ... we will wait to see when the picture is posted

Also, KJ had a good idea about humidity for your little girl. I know you don't have a dome, but SweetSue uses clear bags to put around her clones when they are small to create humidity.

Now you're in a bigger pot, I wonder if it would be silly to ask you if you had a big transluscent bag that would go over the entire plant. Orrr, if you had a smaller clear bag to go over the plant it self?

In my desperate times I've even used a big ziploc bag that could kinda stand on it's own propped up around your girl.

I would just take that zip log bag and put a little bit of water in it and then seal it and make sure the water wets the inside of the ziploc and then open it over the sink and completely empty that bag and lightly shake it almost dry.

There should be some condensation or water coating the inside bag. Then I turned it upside down and created a tent over her. That was enough to help my little girl until she could find the bottom of my pot.

Again, if none of this applies to you please simply disregard. I just thought KJ brought up an important point, and your girl could use the help with hydration.

Enjoy your time, family comes first...

Nothing I can think of, other than maybe a damp towel. But then I become concerned about bugs underneath it. Never know about them Critters. I don't want to encourage their presence. Great thought though, KJ!

I wouldn't be too concerned about the top drying out a bit. You want the soil to dry out throughout your watering process (not completely to where the leaves are drying out, but so that the roots have to continue to stretch downwards. You are doing great Gramps!

Yeah... He is such a blast! He is almost 3 and thinks he is the same age as his older siblings that range in age from 6 to almost 8. He does a great job keeping up with them too. LOL!
Wish we humidity moving up into the high 50s, may not need to worry about it for now. Obviously, we will be checking it daily. Awesome suggestions though! It's the humidity starts to drop again, that is what we will do.

I now remember about the cup. It dried evenly from the top down to the bottom. I think the same behavior might be true in the fabric pot, but fabric pot allows air in from the sides. Unless otherwise noted, I will just use the weight of the Pot and Jane to tell me when water is needed. As long as there is enough for the root system she has now and help the roots to stretch out and down, that is my final goal for this grow.
 
Temp = 85°
rH = 59%

It appears that the tips of the leaves are turning brown, and some edges as well. I did my best to gently get those parts off of her, and we turned out one of the lights to see if possibly they were too strong for her even at 24in above her. Please let me know if my hands are "seeing" things correctly.

Sounds like the soil may be a little hot. I wouldn't sweat it too much gramps they should grow into the soil as they get a little bigger. Just keep giving them your tlc for now....

I know I'll definitely keep a close eye on her. If that humidity stays in the same range where it is and the temperature drops a little bit from turning off the one light, she just might be good. Time will tell...

Keep an eye on her for sure but I think she'll come back - I've seen similar leaf crispiness in a few Hi-Brix journals, especially when the plants were young - also based on observation of the picture, I'd say the only affected area's are areas in contact with the soil during lights off :) Nothing to worry about, just keep loving her Gramps! hope your sunday was awesome
 
HS is bang on...

And...She is a lush green in the middle. Your hands are 100% right. You can even go as far to touch the middle of your girl cause she is lush green to my eyes. You can compare the middle leaves health, to the outer leaves health. Big difference.

She is much greener than before too, not as much yellow which already looks like she's enjoying herself. She is good colour wise.

Another little tidbit for yah. For Photoperiod plants only: It's a good common practice to start your seed in a cup (which you did), then transplant to a 1 gallon pot, then up pot to a larger pot in veg to get her ready for flowering. You went from cup to 3 gallon, which is okay to do, but it will take a bit longer to get her going is all.

If you and K could look for a similar 1 gallon pot for your next grow, we can do this up-potting next time to help her along a bit easier. It's about the size of a 1 gallon paint can. Then you can feel the roots half way through your grow which I just took pics of in my journal, but haven't posted yet. Just something for the future to consider...;)

I gotta say, she looks great except for crispiness which is what we're working on by lifting them once a day. It's almost like when we break a nail, we would wait to grow it back in. But it doesn't prevent your finger from being used, it just slows you down a bit. Her crispiness will be removed once we get that new growth in.

How does this crispiness differ from your previous grow cycles where there was crispiness too?

The crispiness caused here is because the soil has tons of nutrients in it and the leaves touch the soil and they get burned from the outside in. So we are looking to prevent any further inward burning.

Now you're previous autos, were burned from the nutrients given in the water and went through the soil into your plant and then burned your leaves. So this direction of the burn started from the inside out and burned the good part of the leaf which you need to get energy from the light, which contributed to the stunting of your previous plant.

So now you something to compare your sensory with.

Lastly: you wrote previously...

"I know I'll definitely keep a close eye on her."

Did you realize you're officially seeing through your hands and troubleshooting her with feel? That makes me want to kick a ball into the back of the net, cause we just scored there team!:cheertwo:

I'm definitely crossing my fingers and hoping she'll grow out of this. Thanks for the well wishes, and yes we had an awesome Sunday! Hope yours went well too. LOL, when it came time to leave church our grandson, whose name is Justice, did not want to leave. He can be such a precious child.

Thank you for taking the time and effort that I know is much more difficult than anybody else for you. That detail helps me more than you can know. I want to use a sentence and thank everybody else for being as detailed as they are. All of you guys are great! Good to know that my hands are starting to get a little sensitive to her. I can tell you that after handling her my fingers already smell good. In answer to your next question, yes she is a photo and the strain is Shark Shock CBD.
As far as up-potting, we have some 1 gallon fabric pots, but I am afraid that if they are used, the roots will get stuck in the fabric and damage them. So, we went straight to the final pot with her. Since I'm a baseball guy, I'll say it makes me want to step into the batter's box and launch one over the fence :thumb:

I am honored and glad that you would use my thread to post that milestone for you! Congrats on reaching that number! Bravo!

I read that the roots can grow into the pot and you end up cutting the pot to get the plant out. Good thinking!
