Druid's little grow thread

[kfigerm]

The pyramid should be wet enough for 24h at this stage if you water them until you spot the first runoff. You can leave the runoff in the tray. for even more growth you can extend the place for root by just lifting the pyramid a bit - perhaps place 4 or 5 of the little sprout-cubes below or some coco. No problem. I had the root coping with EC 7+ runoff without any damage.
Simply pour into it the next day /whenever you think its getting dry and watch for a little runoff.
You took off nicely.

the pyramid has become almost completely white on two sides now, not the mineral kind, the fuzzy kind. I'm contemplating just dropping the thing into a regular pot and filling the rest with coco. not a huge fan of spores

That will go away with salts buildup ;-) but that is also only superficial, perhaps spray some isopropanol on it - hand disinfectant is also enough.
I Have that too from time to time in the beginning when the environment is too moist and the pyramids dry out - only then the mold can grow. Keep them wet on the sides.

 

[kfigerm]

if you drop it into coco the spres will spread there - not the best idea imo.

when the pyradmid are wet, the mold developes to some bulb like mushroomy form and the salts that the pyramid expell will kill it off later.
In the beginning i also was very concerned, now i take it easy. the spores just may not be allowed to fly around, so keep them wet.

Here's the cover shot:

She's on day 29 now, so in another 30 days she should be ready to harvest

I'd like you to welcome our newest member; a Dutch Passion White Widow auto. She was tiiiny, don't think i've ever seen such a small seedling before. But boy oh boy is this a hungry one. I had her in the little germination station for half a day and she shot up like crazy, so straight into the pot she went. She's living in plain coco. It's about to get really warm and I'm really too lazy to water multiple times a day.

The Epsilon keeps bushing out, ideally I'd increase the light levels but I do want at least a little bit of node spacing in the young ones. She currently goes through about a Liter a day.

It's now day 33, 16, 5. The Epsilon on the left is stretching and getting into flower mode. I'm afraid, I put that net in too late. She's likely not gonna be stretching anymore. The Strawberry Cola is making some massive leaves! This is gonna be a real jungle-plant. Love it! And the White Widow is just getting started. I've increased the light output for a DLI of 40. The Temps are 28c during the days and 24 during nights. VPD is below 1 atm, we've had borderline rain weather the last few days.

 

[Druid]

Pffffuuuf today I removed a lot of foliage from the Epsilon on the left again, mainly budsites and branches that weren't gonna amount to anything or become mold risks later on. Always hurts a little bit but with the RH in Germany better to be on the safe side.

The Strawberry Cola is doing her best impression of a sphere so I tucked the bigass fanleaves to get the shaded branches below to grow. Not yet sure if I want to top her.

The White Widow is going to get her first actual watering tomorrow, so far I've only watered her in when I transplanted her into the pot. She's starting to complain a bit as you can see but a nice bit of runoff the next few times should fix that.
