Hi everyone!
First post, first grow.
I recently decided to get myself a starter kit from ACI. It's a small tent (2x2x4) with the 100W LED board. I grabbed some Super Silver Haze + Afghan seeds from a local supplier and got started a few weeks ago.
Bought some light mix soil and coco from BioBizz and mixed them 50/50 into a 5gal pot, because I have no clue wtf I'm doing
I germinated a seed, planted it in the soil - and, surprise surprise, something actually grew! Was really excited and nurtured the little seedling into something bigger.
Now, everything seemed to be going great. But after noticing a slight green edge on one of the fan leaves, I panicked, and because I could not find any examples of what was happening, I gave her too much water (2L) just one day after having already watered her (500ml). The leaves also started to wrinkle a lot, which seemed to be due to overwatering/PH imbalance, according to the experts in here.
So, realizing that I might have effed up, I let her sit and dry.. for 7 days.. and she kept drooping. Not perking at all like what I see other's plants do at this stage.
I convinced myself that maybe it was normal, and kept going. I decided to top her right above the 4th node, and the drooping kept going. Today, after checking the soil at the core of the pot, it felt bone dry, so I decided to give her 1L of water with 2ml of Acti-Vera. I have yet to add any extra nutrients to the water, as the soil contains some already.
She's also looking very bushy for a sativa dominant strain, and very short too - with fan leaves completely covering all new growth underneath. New growth looks nice and green, but also drooping a bit.
Average temperature is 25C day / 20C night, with RH 45% day / 55% night, water PH always 6.3.
As a first time grower, I have no clue if this is normal, or if I should do something at this point.
She's 3½ weeks old at this point. Oh, and ofc. I broke one of the cotyledons today
