4/6 new seeds cracked, 2 with vg taproots. 3 have been moved to coco inserts
Roughly 7 weeks ago, I started new seeds to test the O2G emitter, but by all rights they should have died long ago Seems the O2G saved this grow
3/4 plants started showing pistils yesterday; the male started developing coconuts a few days ago. I moved it outside this morning as I need the room in my starter tote
I will be making a fresh batch of nutes this morning
Until I double wrapped the mist pump in nylon I was unclogging the mist heads every couple hours. And if I left for 5+ hours I would come back to find roots suffering VERY BADLY!
Somehow the plants survived, and have no reason to look as good as they do, other than because of the O2G. I mean how in hell can the plants look so healthy with such miniscule root systems?
4/6 of my seeds (Blueberry Cheesecake/G13 male) popped within 24/48 hours (the one in the pic looks ready to pop out) using the same technique as I did with the super expensive seeds: not one cracked!
Can you imagine spending $1k+ and trying to explain that to the seller
I finally added more mist heads in expectation of broadening the coverage to the roots. One of the plants started losing its lower leaves, the net pot was dry, dry, dry, partially due to clogging
When I added more mist heads I simply used longer pvc which made the pump unstable. To compensate I replaced the end cap with a leg. I didn't realize thaat the leg had a mist hole drilled, so when I tested it, water came squirting out. I plugged it with a different mister (rainhead) and I THINK it is acting as a pressure release, expelling would be mineral salts that were clogging the mist heads
My brain remains in total disconnect between the amount o roots vs the size of the 3 plants.
Now getting some new roots growth and lateral roots (root hairs). This is from the plant in front!
FYI: After posting the pictures yesterday, i noticed how much bigger the newer primary leafs are, even though the new roots are barely sticking out of the net pots
I added a gallon of fresh mixed Emerald Harvest nutes
I moved one of the 2 O2G emitters to the babies DIY bubbler a couple weeks ago.
My reason for buying the 2020 (it has 2 emitters). allows me to put them in separate ~3.5 gallon rezes
Yes, it's definite overkill in my <3 gallon bubbler, but I doubt it hurts anything. These babies 'seem' to be developing 3r leaf set a lot faster then normal
I had to dump nutes, clean the filters, and make fresh nutes because a freakin' mosquito got into the rez. Been swat zapping mosquitoes all morning
2 days ago I dropped 7 seeds in water. All of them cracked, gave them another 24 hours for the tap root to stick out, and planted them in coco pellets this morning
One of things I overlooked when putting this pvc manifold together was aligning the mist heads directly below the net pots. Now it should not have been critical as when the mist heads aren't clogged, they throw a wide spray
Somehow I neglected to date stamp first pistils, but backtracking through this thread, it looks like somewhere in the 3rd week of October= ~ only 3 weeks ago. Seems like a lot of bud development in a short span, no?
