Grow Timeline (24 updates)
Still happy and relatively moist. Not watered since last post. Progressively ramped vpd up over the last few days and increase light 1 notch today.
I mixed up the seeds at germination, but I’m pretty sure I can tell who is who now.
The Durban likes to grow its leaves weirdly, twisted and going all directions. It happened early once, but now it is all over the place. Pretty cool. The leaves straighten out but leave behind the variegation. It’s also been kind of droopy the whole time regardless of what the moisture meter says or if I turn down the light. While the Blueberry has been praying hard constantly. I wonder if this one was always meant to stay in its shell. I helped it pop the seed hull off two days after it broke ground.
Blueberry is showing first signs of frost. Close ups really make this one look good! It might not get taller than a foot though 🤷♂️
Will water tomorrow.
Had to do a serious defoliation for something so small. It was wrapping around itself and choking itself out. I think it’s some sort of dwarf/sickly silly plant. Those flower stems were from the extreme bottom less than an inch from the soil. I did not crush or crinkle them. They grew that way.
Cute little side branches growing up. It’s small but it is frosty already! I love everything about it.
Also, got about 75% germination on my heirloom onions - pretty good for 3 year old seeds. My cilantro and salad sections are chugging along.
Had a fungus gnat flare up. Not sure the source or how far they spread so I treated everything with neem oil, Only put de on plants with visible infestation though.
With all the veg you got there you'll never get rid of them they love wet top soil usually u let dry out first couple inches the treat with d earth an they should diminish
Thanks, I’m gonna chop all the cover crop and reapply de today. The plants in flower should be good for 3 more days without water cause they’re so small so there should be a good dry out. Next watering will be more neem for good measure
They use those yellow sticky traps too put on top of soil if you want another way to help
I like to put something fermenting in the bottom of the tent ( I always have something going) covered so they can’t get to it. It it bubbles over great cause the overflow is sticky. Every morning I’m sweeping up hundreds of starved flys from the floor.
That attracts them tho? I wouldnt do that around the plants cause they take that on too
Oh yeah, I like it cause it draws them away from the flowers
I think the amber specs in the pics are residual from the spray I had to do to knock off the gnats. Thoughts?
What spray did you use?
I’d say you’re at 5-10% amber hard to tell with those pics
Teraganix EM5
Haven’t taken clippings yet cause I think it’s still early. So mostly out of focus is what I’m working with right now
I personally wouldn’t smoke anything that’s been sprayed on buds past week two of flower, mainly because of the dried residue from the product that ends up being smoked and inhaled. When using those types of products during flower, I usually recommend only doing a soil drench so the roots can absorb it. Even then, with some products you don’t really know what happens once it’s inhaled. For example, I stop using neem oil about 3–4 weeks before harvest so the compounds have time to work their way out of the plant before it’s smoked.
Thanks for the heads up. I probably messed thing up more with the neem soil drench in week 5 of flower. It was probably worth it to eradicate the fungus gnats though, but these small plants are now heading towards edibles probably by way of RSO.
Bud rot started setting in on the lowest part. Too dense and close to the soil. Saved what I could.
Little Durban is still chugging along.
Wow... just lost two to root rot about 3 weeks before harvest... dried what I could and now its curing for two months!!! Looking forward to my next grow!!!
Shit happens amiright
Third picture plant is forsure in flower bud
Thanks for confirming!
Lol no problem jus don't stress others cause looks like they still good
