I got some feminized photo Bama’ Nana Pudding S1 seeds and started germinating them. Once germinated I put them in some soil in solo cups. 11 days later they had all sprouted. Eventually one of them died off, it had the husk stuck to the top and was pushing on the plastic over the cup for a day before I noticed. A few days later it died. So I was left with 3 babies. Probably for the best as my tent is very small.
10 days after starting germination (in a wet paper towel in a baggie).
About 1 month since germination.
I realized it was going to be a learning process for getting the temperature and humidity right in my tent. It sits on a concrete floor in a room with no HVAC.
At this point I had my lights turned way down and did 16 hours on and 8 hours off each day.
I needed to figure out what soil and nutrients I was gona use in my fabric pots and get the babies moved over. My local grow store was out of the soil I had picked out so I got “Roots Organics Original Potting Soil - ready-to-use coco fiber-based potting soil” based on their recommendation. It has bat guano, premium earth worm castings, fish bone meal, feather meal, green sand, mycorrihzae, glacial rock dust, soybean meal, humic acid,etc.
For better or worse I decided to skip adding nutrients at this point and let the soil do the work for a bit. I figured I would get something decided soon. My tap water is hard and high PH so I was letting it sit out for 24 hours and it would go down an entire point in PH but I bet I wasn’t doing the best for my plants.
About 45 days since germination started.
Just 4 days later and they are bulking up.
Around 50 days since germination started.
I decided on some nutrients. I had gotten a gift card to the hydro store for my bday and decided to use it for nutrients. Boy are they expensive. I went with Sensi Grow and Sensi Bloom, a two part system. Supposedly it will balance the PH so I went with it.
After a week of watering with Sensi and did a week of just plain water, then back to sensi.
About 6 days later. Still haven’t topped or cut anything.
This is the largest plant of the three and I am trying to decide where to top.
I eventually topped the two largest plants and let the runt go naturally.
Two got cut.
Here we are at 75 days since germination started. Current as of a few days ago. Over the last couple weeks I removed some large fan leaves that has some damage from when I was under-watering and crispified some then grabbed em. I am pretty sure I should remove some more so the other possible bud sites can get more light but I don’t want to take too much. Still having trouble getting the temp and humidity to stay where I want it. It’s a lot of highs and lows as I adjust. Thinking of trying the wet towel method and leaving my exhaust fan on low at all times.
