Back For Another Grow

[Canachris]

Now your objective is to build roots.
Your feed water should be done around the rim.
Getting the roots to chase it.
Make sure you get run-off, that tap root needs something to follow.

Is that Coco?

Morning bill, no it's Coast of Maine Stonington blend. Supposedly I can make it thru the veg cycle without having to feed em any nutes, in my 8 gal containers. thanks for the watering tip

 

[Canachris]

The girls are watered. I've been running the lil fan one hour on an one off, it helps keep the light I smidge cooler and helps tuffin up them little stalks. I must say they stand very straight an hardly wiggle under the breeze. Sorry I know I post too many photos that look mostly the same, but it helps me keep better track of whats going on. What I know today I most likely won't know tomorrow

 

[Canachris]

The girls are looking happy. I have to get my ass in gear and get containers ready. I'm guessing they will want more room in a few weeks.

 

[Canachris]

Welp, day 5 above ground an the girls are looking good. I'll have to keep an eye on temps, 50-60 degree days in January WTF. but I sure their strong enough to leave the fan on em all day now. it's nice to wake up to the grow lights coming on at 5am my mental health has improved so much.

 

[Canachris]

I've been watching this lil one all day an I'm thinking she may be a mutant. she didn't grow the single finger leaf. her first set was 3 finger leaves. maybe she'll be ok

 

[Canachris]

Not much change overnight.

 

[Canachris]

Not sure I've ever had a plant without the single finger leaf. The little pod leaves almost look like they are a combination of single finger leaf and pod leaf( I know the pod leaf has a name but it's to hard to spell)

 

[Canachris]

The girls seem to be ok but they to be a bit short. Maybe I'm just impatient

 

[Canachris]

The sun came out (never knew it was gay) so I took a few pics of the girls in natural sunlight

 

[Canachris]

Welp, I've had the girls in real sunlight for over an hour now. It gives me a better idea of their color seeing them out from under the LED's.

 

[Canachris]

That pic came out a bit weird, let me try without zooming in

 

[Canachris]

A bit better

 

[Canachris]

Changed things up a bit. This past week was in upper 40's - 50's and this up coming week is going back to winter an I've got temp's in 20's - 30's ahead. I can retain a bit more heat with this setup. I also moved them underneath one of the 4000 K 100 watt LED's. it's still kinda soon to tell how their growing but they seem kinda stunted, I'd like a bit more stretch it makes training easier.

 

[Azimuth]

Roots power the top grow so first they need to work on those. They may look stalled but if you can keep your temps up they should kick in soon.

 

[Canachris]

Thanks Azimuth. I guess I'll have to keep the up overnight, I usually turn the thermostat down to 65. I sleep better in the cold. I think the dryness is going to be an issue, I have forced hot air heating system and it just burns up every bit of moisture in the air. I'm in a small apartment so I can boil a big pan of water an get the humidity up during most the day. but all in all they looked happy this morning when lights came on.

 

[Azimuth]

Could try a heating mat for them. But these plants do like a differential in day/night temps, maybe 10-15 degrees.

 

[Canachris]

They stayed warm last night. It didn't get below 68.

 

[Canachris]

Welp, even tho it was 22 degrees outside overnight it was warm an toasty in here. just put a big pan of water to boil , trying to keep the humidity up a bit. not only is it good for the plants it helps me too. today's morning pic, it's hard for my fuzzy mind to notice the little changes but looking back pics I can they have come a long way in only 12 day's
