Hello everyone. Just joined the forums a few days ago and have been following a number of journals. I am currently on day 22 of my first grow ever.
A little bit about myself. I am from BC Canada, and I have no experience growing this devils lettuce. I used to be brainwashed that weed was horrible, and I tried it for the first time in November 1 year ago. I have not looked back, what a miracle drug. I've gone through all the annoying processes to legally handle and grow the stuff, and i spent a little bit of money on a small starter setup.
Here's some info on my grow. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions. Please forgive me for any mistakes as I am new. I am doing my best to raise these little guys as healthy as possible. I've made a few mistakes along the way.
I bought my seeds from Crop King seeds. I bought the Candy Cane 7 week auto-flowers.
I am using:
- 300W LED light
- 4x4 Grow tent
- home made Co2 generator with yeast and sugar cane
- a local PRO MIX soil
- GH Flora series.
- 4inch inline fan with carbon filter
- distilled water keeping the ph around 5.8-6
I planted the seeds on around Oct 25th 2016.
Oct28 both seeds have sprouted, one a day behind the other
For the first week I kept under light, I struggled with temps being under 20 Celsius. Didn't add a heater until week two. Using an oil heater keeping the room between 23-25.
Day 7
Both plants grew pretty decent over the first week. I think I may have stunted them with it being so cold.
Day 14
Plants started blowing up around day 12. No complaints as of yet. Day 9 I transplanted into a medium size pot. That was a mistake, I should have went straight to final pot.
Day 17
Noticed some deficiency on the newest leaves. Did my first feed at 1/4 strength. Figuring out the nutrients was my biggest hurdle yet. I overthought the process. I have limited gardening knowledge, just watched my mom, dad, and brother grow a variety of things. For nutrients I used
Flora micro, flora gro, flora bloom, florablend vegan plant booster, and some rapid start root enhancer. I fed plant and within days leaves were dark again.
I transplanted to final pots day 18. The plants hated it and drooped for three hours. They perked up and have been fantastic since.
Day 21
This was yesterday. I bent both plants slightly at stem. Was told it promotes growth hormones, plants straightened themselves out and looked strong within an hour.
Lower branches are growing in already which I am happy about
Today day 22
I am happy with progress so far. "Seedling one" the plant that sprouted a day early (reason being the other seed fell out of pellet during germination for a day and I didn't notice right away) has grown faster and bigger than seedling two, but seedling two isn't giving up, She's got good growth too!
I'll have updates regularly, please share your thoughts and opinions! Thanks for having me and nice meeting you all!
