New Grower Amnesia Auto - Outdoor - First Grow

[heelo]

Hey all,

In prep for my CBD run this summer, I'm starting with an Amnesia Auto freebie from Seedsman.

Soaked it overnight, wet paper towel from there and planted in potting soil once the tap root emerged. Set outside during a warm week and sprouted that week.

To maximize the light exposure, I am bringing the plant in at night and placing it under a small 10w LED desktop grow light meant for herbs. It's doing well enough to keep the seedling moving along, and the plan is to rely completely on the sun by week 4.

I will likely keep this plant in its small container, as it's more of an experiment than anything to see if I can keep this plant alive through harvest.

Pics are from week 1 and now week 2

Too much rain to out the pot outside this weekend, so it'll be living under the grow light.

I have the light right on top of the leaves, but they seem to be reaching up for it. Is this the plant not having enough intensity? It's a very weak LED, 10w to be exact made for growing desktop herbs.

Should have her back outside come Monday.

Added a warming mat and small T5 for the seedlings after a trip to Home Depot. Hoping this will get them to sprout faster and stronger.

Beans have been in coco pellets for 3 days now, still no signs of sprouts though. *patience*

Got her out for a few hours this afternoon, but rain came back so I'm gonna see how she likes this T5.

I think she may have got too much moisture over the last couple of days, her color seems to be lightening up from what it was on the last update and the leaf serrations are curling a bit. Can anyone confirm the symptoms?

Can't wait for the sun to return. Also looking forward to a raised bed and water only soil in a couple of weeks [emoji16][emoji321]

Start of week 3. The light color seems to have been nothing, and she is growing her first set of real leaves [emoji16]

The sun is supposed to come back for a few days this week, so I'm hoping to see some good growth.

First 5 leaf set is about to pop and I can see areas where new branches are about to form. Looks like she's gonna start taking off

It's been a while, here's an update!

I am now about a week into flower. Budding sites are taking shape, stretch is happening, and it's been pretty smooth sailing until this week.

I bought some organic super soil that I posted about in the soil forum for my raised beds and top dressed this plant with some of the soil. It has since yellowed quite quickly.

Ph is reading high at 7.8 or so. What should I use to bring the Ph back down? Also it looks like it may be locking out potassium as a result. Any suggestions for a quick organic shot of K?
