Quick photo update.. I’ll do a gallery post at 30 days. The plants are looking ok.. We’ve got one really strong performer right here who has fallen into the groove well
She’s strong, nicely colored, and has found her resources and begun tapping them. The first transplant is also looking pretty good, the LST is making it bushy which I’m okay with.. As it grows out I will lightly trim it to allow for better airflow and deeper light exposure
The last 3 transplants are all taking pretty good as well.. They did not appreciate me turning the lights up higher but they’ve adjusted
I topped one of them and am going to watch the differences play out
The other plants are not as happy.. one is showing signs of overwatering as can be seen here:
The leaves have that swollen against the veins 3D look that always screams overwatering to me. I’ll have to check the roots on this one and see what has happened. This next plant has gotten the same watering but doesn’t seem to be as upset, although it is not happy with the light increase either
It appears to have just tapped it’s bottom resources which is good, we’ll see what it does.
That plant has found it’s resources but is not very happy itself.. I’ve been keeping a close eye on it and watching what it does.. It may be lack of water but in my experience it’s better to wait a couple days until it either tells me it needs water for sure or see if it will adjust itself. It’s possible it ran into a concentration of nutrients and wasn’t pleased, however they’re not showing signs of nutrient burn, so like I said, we’ll keep an eye on it.
I increased the light power to 50% and the plants had an average of 20 DLI hitting them. I have a feeling I should’ve held off on the power increase until 30 days. I’ve made a note of this and will try this approach on the next grow. 25% for the first 30, 50% for the next 30, 75% for the first half of flower and 100% (if it’ll take it) for the last half minus the final week or two.
Being bagseed plants it’s difficult to determine which plants need what beforehand. I gave them all a general approach as I waited for them to show themselves. This is the phase I usually have a few setbacks in as I wait for the plants attitudes and requirements to settle in before I can dial in what they want.
One thing about that is, not to make knee jerk decisions. If I think something is up with a plant and I’m not positive what it is, I’ll wait a day or two to see what happens. We’re growing photos so worse comes to worst, we can add on a few extra recovery days if needed.
Im gonna start brewing up a good veg tea today and hit them all with it within the next day or two to really start firing up the grow.
They’ve got about 18ish days left in these pots, give or take a few days.
This is exactly what I wanted to happen on this grow. Running these plant in large containers is much, much easier to do and gives me way less issues to deal with, but I don’t learn anything. In these smaller pots pushed hard with unknown genetics I’m forced to learn each of the plants and what each of the signals are. This way I can have that base of experience to operate from in emergencies.

that’s likely because I haven’t watered it again and that was the beginning of it happening

it’s hard to remember which of the 60+ total pages stuff is on. Oh well.. As long as people are learning things and I’m dialing in it’s worth the hassle for me
