Growing With Mr.Sparkle : 2021

Still issues, low pH pretty sure all buffering capacity say the lime in the mix had been washed out or used up so ill go pick up some dolomite lime before i get the new plants planted.

The C9D’s are looking better than the others, though they are in “fresher” mix so probably why plus there age, also bumped up the feed for all to 1.2ec which looked like it helped a little.

Right side sprayed darkspark is showing pollen sac finally, and have so just planted Lemon Pies on the left and GhostRose x CookieDevils on the right, with some PRxCD thrown in water last night.

It is talent keeping plants in a small container like that. I can see how keeping the ph stable would be difficult. Do you prefer peat over coco?

at the moment coco > peat, though im trying to make a switch more for accessibility and localish production and sustainability reasons

Well picked up some dolomite lime i think Wednesday top dressed a little and they aren’t looking worse and are growing so guess we will start here for rectifying the pH issue. Started giving them some higher 1.6 EC feed by hand last night just to see if some of the stuff im seeing is just due to the lower 1.0-1.3 ec feed water.

The C9D’s are starting to shoot up the C99 that was used making it a lanky cross, is what it is though, and still spraying the plants with sts about every 3-4 days, if it works its alot more gentle on the plants than my CS, though end result is where it matters.

Right side we have the CS sprayed DarkSpark still growing pollen sacs ill probably move it up to the upper chamber in a couple days to maybe friday just gonna see how much pollen we can get off it. As for the little ones all doing Lemon Pies are up, one being a Tri which i accidentally ripped the cotyledons off as its shell had stuck only half splitting though its powered through regardless not that ill use it though. GRxCD’s are also up being a bit taller for whatever reason, and i except i’ll start seeing some PRxCD’s popping up today and tomorrow.

And seeings how its “Seed Saturday”, 3 packs of Lemon Pie f1 autos this week i’ll randomly select between those that respond before 12pm pst “3hrs since the time of this posting” and ill leave it open to anyone this week.

I’ll take a whack at lemon pie if I won them. Watching those c9d go I might just have to pop some of those once done with my current grow.
