Second Generation Purple Marmalade

[Krissi Carbone]

Hi Cana!

I am with Bill on the feeding routine. As soon as I see two sets of trues, I begin giving them something.

On a bigger note, just happy to see you are happy to be growing again and got a journal started!

Welp, I've searched under my cabinets and came up with some Peruvian sea bird guano it's about 5 or 6 years old, it's in a pellet forming so I don't think it can deteriorate, don't remember the N P K but I think it's high in nitrogen. I mix up a week batch in water and gave her drink when the lights came on. I top dressed with the terp tea, the directions said either top dress or bubble. Like I said I'm a dirt farmer at heart compost and manure was how I learned. My dad grew up on a family farm,when I was a kid I'd I'd spend summers on the farm with the grandparents.as a city kid having to deal with wheelbarrows full of fresh cow crap was an experience. all the old timers got a big kick out it. But it had it good times, like picking strawberries for days on end. When I grew outside in the early 80's I grew amazing cannabis plants, luckily I knew how to get my tomatoes nice and big to hide my good stuff. But like I said I give it my all an I may stumble at times but I do have my moment's, I think I did better when I grew under the M H / H P S lights. sorry for the manic rant.. the meds haven't kicked in yet

Ok, here's what I have for nutez. Unfortunately I have 0 funds for this grow so it's fingers crossed all the way.

Rant away.
Glad you had that experience when you were young.
Fresh air and hard work is good for you, made you who you are.
Better than sitting in front of a video game like kids today.
Hope she turns out great for you.
I'm sure you got this.
Have a great day my friend.

Turns out I get about 45 minutes of sunlight shinning right on my girl/hermie. Got a fan on her to, need to keep trac of the temp an see how much the fan decrease it. but if it Comes down to one or the other I'll choose wind

 

[Canachris]

She looks very happy this morning. These chilly nights don't seem to bother her

 

[Canachris]

She's looking bigger to me, but I guess all proud parents say that

 

[Canachris]

She's definitely bigger today.

 

[Canachris]

She looks a bit pale, I only have the 1 quantum board going. Do y'all think she needs more light. She didn't stretch like most of my seedling do

They don't need a lot of light right now.
Light green usually means she is hungry.
Are you feeding weak nutrients?

Yeah I gave her a drink of the sea bird guano and sifted a few tablespoons of the terp tea on top an worked it in. The big container is very slow to dry out, but I figure the top 8 or 9 inches is fairly dry an I doubt the lower wet soil be a problem.

 

[Canachris]

I think my phone camera may make it look a lighter color green. if I roll her in sunlight she looks a better color. It could be the light too, it's the R spec an I think it put out a more yellow light

That happens, camera makes them look lighter green, especially under the grow lights.
She looks alright though.
Hope everything is going well.
Take care.

Took a picture in the sunlight, hard to tell with my bad eyes.

 

[Canachris]

She does seem to be growing a bit faster. She still looks a bit stunted tho

I wonder if she would like some giblet gravy today, she's probably a vegetarian

 

[Canachris]

She's getting bigger, had to raise the lights this morn

 

[Canachris]

With the big container it's hard for me to tell if she need water, I'm too weak to lift it. so I use a dip stick, I have a 1/4" dowel about 18" long and I get a good idea how wet the soil is I watered on the 21st and I checked today an she's kinda dry, I keep the top 3" of soil lose and poke holes down to the bottom to help dry faster. Not sure how fast her roots will grow into the bottom of the container and I don't want any root rot problems. But if she drys in 6 or 7 days I should be able to keep her happy with nutes.

 

[Canachris]

She looks amazing this morning, her color is nice and green. I love when I see progress, every day she looks a bit bigger and healthier. Thanks to all the supporters
