Hello friends. This is my first go at growing my own plants. Id like to have a good first year of trial and error really. I’m starting 4 plants indoors for now and moving to outdoor pots when the weather allows (assuming mid May) I’d like to see what works and what doesn’t. Our space doesn’t allow for an elaborate indoor setup so pots in the garden will do this year. Any advice or corrections are greatly appreciated along the way. I’m somewhat familiar with growing techniques and basic biology, also being an arborist I have a good understanding how plants and trees work (I know Cannabis is not the same as these) but no the less I’m here to learn! I’m 10 days in now. Unfortunately I didn’t take any pictures of the germination or sprouting but I’ll keep up from now on.
Cal OG kush x haze 3 plants
Early Miss (autoflower) 1 plant
Germinated on March 19
Using spring water ph6.7 for now
Rain barrel is being installed for transition to outside
Seedling heat mat under
Planted into coco coir March 21
Taproots approaching 2cm
Used sterile tweezers in the dark
Seedling heat may still under
Plants emerged from the soil March 23 (all four)
Plants are in a solo cup sized pot. I used pro mix organic soil to fill around the coco coir pucks
Plants are currently beside the window awaiting the arrival of the light
March 25 all have dropped the seed casing. Cotyledons have opened fully. Seedlings are about 4cm tall. Leaning towards window. Keeping the coir moist
March 26 LED arrived. 50watt full spectrum grow light.
Plants are about 5-6cm tall
Light is set appropriately 14 inches from seedlings on 18/6 cycle
March 27 leaves growing slowly
Watered
March 29 about 6-7cm tall
Watered
March 31 second set of leaves visible
More so on the early Miss
April 1 tops are bit heavy and leaning. I built two small supports from scewers to hold up two of the Cali
April 2 new leaves are very visible and can tell they will be 3 fingered.
Early Miss still growing faster
Watered (changed my watering method after reading stuff on here!)
April 4 growth is slow but steady.
About 7-8cm tall
I feel like I’m getting to eager. I almost think they should be growing faster? I guess this is first time and in soil.. hah
