Resimax's grow: Ringo's Gift

[resimax]

Hi, I started a new grow a few weeks ago with 2 strains. I’ll make a separate diary with the other one, but this one is Ringo’s Gift from MSNL.

I messed up. I decided to try coco plugs for the first time in a long time instead of my custom light mix organic soil. Things didn’t go so well.

Here’s week 1:

…and it stayed like this for a while, even making sure my VPD and DLI were optimal. It started to die. I wasn’t over or under-watering it. It was locking out nutrients somehow still after 2 weeks, with no roots visibly poking through the coco plug yet, so I transplanted it to a 1L pot, and added some heat to incubate the roots a bit. I skipped taking pictures for week 2, with the first set of leaves completely brown.

A few days after transplanting, the plant decided to top itself, since the next node would not grow out and withered away. But, the 2 lateral stems are now growing fairly good. This plant should look pretty funky later in life if it makes it. Here’s week 3:

I gotta say, this is the first time I topped at the first node before. Or well, it topped itself. Kinda curious how it’ll turn out…

Ringos’ Gift, sounds like a fun run.
I’ve always use a non-fertilized medium, or a starter mix, that has zero food in it, until I see 4-6 sets of leaf points popping up, before I give them food.

Maybe fertilizers topped her??
She is coming around it looks like.
Best of luck in your runs!!

I don’t use any fertilizers. All organic soil once they make it in. This was just water and the inert (mostly, all natural) coco plug.

I sort of forgot about this diary, so here’s a few pics without words:
