1500ml water. No feed.

an hour ago

No water today as she’s measuring between moist and wet. I will start the 2-week flush on the next water as her deadline is in 2 weeks. Need to get these finished up so the autos can go in. I realise she’s still quite ‘young’, but work is due to start in the back garden and I don’t want to risk anything.

a day ago

No water. Still heavy and measuring wet.

2 days ago

No water today. Pot is heavy and hydrometer says it’s wet.

3 days ago

No water. Hydrometer says it’s 💦.

4 days ago

1500ml feed, 6.4ph. Trimmed a couple more leaves.

5 days ago

Drained run off. She had a trim yesterday. New baby leaves are coming through green. 🤞 that we have plain sailing over the new few weeks. ♥️

6 days ago

Feed with more nitrogen. Trimmed.

7 days ago

Hashboy removed some of the dead/dying leaves. I will manicure more when I’m back tomorrow.

9 days ago

Hashboy gave these a thorough flush two days in a row using bottled water. New PH pen arrived. After calibrating the new pen, we learned that the old one was 0.7 out, which means my ph was always too low. 😞 He’s mixed up new feed at 6.4 and picked off dead leaves. 🍂 He also took some new photos showing the green leaves that are starting to emerge at the back of the plant.🍃

10 days ago

So, the issue has been uncovered. It’s a PH issue. New PH pen has been ordered and she’s had her soil flushed and will have another flush tomorrow then a feed with properly PH’ed water and nutrients.

12 days ago

Looking worse as the days go on. She has been watered and fed. I can’t wait to see the end of these, I think. I just can’t work out what the issue here is.

14 days ago

Water followed by feed.

15 days ago

Trimmed some leaves. 900ml/Ph: 6.3. Added some extra biobloom.

700ml. Ph: 6.3 New growth is decidedly green. No signs of stress on the new growth stem(s).

a month ago

700ml feed. Ph: 6.2. Fuzzy tendrils are a lot more noticeable today.

a month ago

No water today. ♥️ My partner’s children turned off the plug that the tent uses. Plants had no light for 22 hours until yesterday morning. They had about an hour and a half before lights automatically switched off again. I’m not happy. Tent back on last night as schedule at 100% power. She seemed to enjoy it because she was noticeably taller. Quite a few more white fuzzy tendrils today.

a month ago

750ml feed. No stimulants. Ph: 6.1. No tie down since she’s pretty bald. 😆

a month ago

No water today. Tomorrow will be water and tie down.

a month ago

800ml water + algamic, top max, bioheaven, magnesium sulphate. Ph: 6.14

a month ago

No water. Small sign of flowering coming?!

a month ago

I *think* she’s showing signs of gearing up to flower. She was given 600ml of feed/water. Ph 6.2. Per 2 litres. All the usual suspects plus 1 tsp of liquid seaweed.

a month ago

No signs of flowering. No water today as she had some liquid seaweed yesterday.

a month ago

Despite the stress, she is still growing. Noticeable height difference over the last few days. Will give seaweed foliar spray and see what happens. Still no signs of gearing up to flower. Maybe because of stress, dunno. Update: sprayed down with liquid seaweed and water. Recommended dosage on bottle: 10ml per litre.

a month ago

Flushed her roots again this morning. Runoff was nearly identical coming out as going in. 🤷‍♀️ I’m out of ideas. She’s still growing, just very pale. I will increase the nutrients on next feed in case it is actually a deficiency. She has new growth, but no signs of flowering yet. I read a blog post this morning that it might be a lack of nitrogen - I will pick up some liquid seaweed after work. On further research, a website describes a lime green appearance for plants suffering from nitrogen deficiency. 🍋‍🟩

a month ago

Average Ph: 5.9. 600ml water/no feed. New growth is green, but not deep green. 1sp magnesium sulphate/2 litres.

a month ago

Took around 2 litres to saturate the substrate and get a little bit of run off to start flowing. Have put a plant pot riser underneath to allow air flow. Average Ph of feed/water 6.27. Could have gone lower, but I’m short on time today.

a month ago

Trimmed a few dead-ish leaves. Watered 400ml today. Rotated pot. No run off, but there is water under the pot. Tied head down further.

a month ago

400ml feed. Ph: 6.03. No pics, no electric (neighbour next door accidentally cut through the electric cable). Increased light to 80%. She’s responding to the light and the change because she’s stretched quite a bit.

a month ago

Since making the change to 12/12 and increasing light intensity, she has grown. Will resume light nutrients tomorrow. Soil is starting to feel more normal.

a month ago

200ml water/feed and foliar spray with magnesium. Newer under leaves are green. Have trimmed away dead or dying leaves.

a month ago

Realised this morning that I didn’t post this update yesterday. No feed or water.

a month ago

Soil is still moist, but she seems to be perking back up. The under leaves are green and seem healthy. Tied down a couple of branches to open up the inside. Next grow I will be using a different medium and autopots. 🙄🤔🥹

a month ago

Have decided to move over to 12:12 now. I don’t think these grows are going well and their growth is stunted. I have learned a few lessons here and will be switching over to self watering bases and a different planting medium. I fully expect Cherry Pie to perish during the transition, but I can always buy more Cherry Pie seeds. 🤞

a month ago

1.5tsp of Epsom salt to 2 litres water. 2ml activera, 2ml bioheaven. Ph 6.5. Only gave 200ml. She seems to have picked up slightly after the foliar spray of magnesium.

2 months ago

Definitely showing signs of magnesium deficiency today. Epsom salts will be arriving this evening. Soil has mostly dried out. I will supplement extra magnesium on the next feed; either this evening or tomorrow morning. Update: Made a spray with magnesium and spritzed the leaves while lights were out so she has time to dry before the lights come back on at 6pm.

2 months ago

No water or nutrients as soil is quite damp. I feel like I am ruining this one for some reason. I will give her a couple of days of no water. Roots are coming out of the bottom of the pot, so I know the roots are healthy - will let her dry out. She is also going very pale.

2 months ago

Clipped a leaf and tied down a branch. 400 ml water and feed mixed to a weak solution.

2 months ago

No nutrients today. Ph of runoff was quite low (5.1) yesterday so plain water to bring it back up. Trimmed off dead/dying leaf. 🍂

2 months ago

Ph; 6.2, run off: 5.1. 400ml water/feed. Removed a dead under leaf. The tights are doing the trick for tying down. When she grows more, I will start to pull her to the side. Will water plant using plain water for the next few days and retest runoff. Cat tax - Fennel.

2 months ago

Moved her tie downs slightly to pull her head down further. 400ml water/feed.

2 months ago

400ml water/feed. Will empty run off later.

2 months ago

Ph 6.13. 400ml feed.

2 months ago

Only 250ml water/feed today. Need to empty the trays at the bottom. She has been supplementing her water with what’s on the bottom. The roots are going out of the bottom of the pot. 😆

2 months ago

400ml feed/water. Doesn’t seem stressed from the trim.

2 months ago

Ph 6.2. 400ml water and feed.

2 months ago

Trimmed one discoloured leaf off and added another tie to push the top down slightly more. I won’t do anymore with her until late next week. 400ml water/feed.

2 months ago

Trimmed away the dead/dying leaves. 400ml feed. Removed run off.

2 months ago

Ph 6.2. 375ml feed/water. Moved the tie down slightly over to push the top of the plant down. One of the pictures shows the further curve to the stem. 🥰🐥

2 months ago

Evening: Uprighted her top again. I like this game. 🤭😆🫣

2 months ago

400ml feed/water. Have added an additional tie. Curvature of the stem can be seen in the image. Starting to suspect that she likes it, the dirty bitch. 🤭🥰

2 months ago

She’s uprighted again! ♥️

2 months ago

Such a little trooper! 🤭 She’s uprighted herself again, but you can clearly see the curve in the stem. It’s also thickening. Fed 400ml. Ph 6.3.

2 months ago

500ml.

2 months ago

Update (after lights came back on): She’s uprighted herself again. 🤭😆

2 months ago

She has bounced back from the mild tie down yesterday. Mildly wilty. Gave 500ml water today. Will tie down more when lights come back on and I have privacy. Ph 6.2. Tied her down a little more last night.

2 months ago

Emptied runoff and noticed the roots! Tied her down further as she uprighted herself.

2 months ago

Watered roughly 350ml and added one tie to gently bend the stem. Using small S hooks to hook into the air holes on the side of the pot. Using a loop of nylon to run across the stem and connect the S hooks.

2 months ago

Topped up humidifier and fed/watered roughly 500ml.

2 months ago

Topped up humidifier and gave a very light feed. Sprayed with calmag while lights were out. Tomorrow will be a heavier feed. Have pre-made the mix - bio grow: 2ml/litre, calmag: 1ml/litre, activera: 2ml/litre, bioheaven: 2ml/litre

2 months ago

As I wasn’t home to attend the crop, Hashboy did the feeding and watering. Ph 6.3. He refilled humidifier and provided 250ml water & feed. Pictures also courtesy of Hashboy.

Looks like the calmag is having an effect. Refilled humidifier this morning. Lifted pots to check for how much moisture was there. Will check again tomorrow morning. Only refilled humidifier.

3 months ago

Topped up humidifier.

3 months ago

Topped up humidifier and tipped out water from tray.

3 months ago

Increased the light to 60% last night and moved the sensors around as well as calibrated to a temperature and humidity clock. Seems it has helped as there was a noticeable change in plant appearance. Could also have been the calmag. I gave a light feed/water around and away from the plant to ensure it was damp, but not too damp as soil was somewhat dry.

3 months ago

🥰🌱

3 months ago

Watered again with calmag. Soil was mostly dry. Will leave for a day or two now. Hoping it sorts the yellowing.

3 months ago

Refilled humidifier. Will water with calmag this evening. Added additional extractor fan to tent.

3 months ago

Fed nutrients. Forgot to add calmag. Will add tomorrow, if needed. Provided activera.

3 months ago

Trimmed off lower damaged leaves from accidental nutrient burn. Fed 2ml/litre bioheaven and 1ml/litre bio grow. Have ordered calmag, activera and Ph +/-. That should help get the Ph spot on.

3 months ago

I think it’s getting leaf burn. Have pointed fan away from plants and gave a little water as soil felt a bit dry. Not desert dry, but dry-dry.

3 months ago

Light feed/water today. Had a really high heat spike yesterday. Hopefully, it didn’t cause too much stress. Waiting for intake fan to arrive to provide more cool air.

3 months ago

Quick visit to tent to put in the strawberries. 🍓

Watered pots, but not seedlings. Day 3 of seedling stage.

3 months ago

Aww, so cute.

3 months ago

Seedling is finally showing her face!

3 months ago

As shown in the image, bottomless yogurt pots were used to help keep track of where the seed was planted. After a day or so, I realised the soil was getting too dry too quickly. I started to use a spray bottle to keep pots moist and capped with a sandwich bag keep the water in.

3 months ago

She’s uprighted herself. Have removed the sandwich bag to ensure she has enough light.
