Week:1 - Day: 7
So were one week into the testing of Bomb Seeds photo-period genetics and things seem to be doing great. Out of all 6 seeds that were planted 5 broke ground while one
THC Bomb seed didn't quite make it. When preparing the seeds for germination using the soaking in a glass of water method, all seeds floated while one THC Bomb seed did not, I expect this is them same seed that didn't make it. After 6 days with no signs of the seed arising it was time to have a dig around in the pot in which it was planted. Upon further inspection it was noticeable that the seed had in fact germinated but for some reason it failed to root. Since no more Bomb Seeds were left for testing it was decided to replace the seed with a Exodus Kush from DNA Genetics, hopefully this one has bigger dreams than its predecessor.
This week the SK 400 plus was moved from 18 inches to 29 inches above the pots as per recommendation from Spectrum King LED. Temperatures have been on the higher side, so a big desk fan was placed just below the LED to help circulate some of the major heat intensity from directly under the light. All five seedlings appear to be healthy bar the only THC Bomb that made it above ground. That seedling itself looks to have some mild dis-colouration but is shouldn't be anything to worry about so all going well it should grow out of it. Growth seems to be about average for this stage of the plants life although each seedling is a far too stretchy due to tampering with light hanging heights. One of the Killer Purps seedling did fall over to due over stretching but it has already begun to pick itself back up.
The plants have been fed a strict diet of water only for this week, The water has not been PH'd or adjusted in any way or form. The Kind Soil plants will remain being fed plain PH'd water while the others will start getting Bio-Bizz Root Juice and Bio Heaven from tomorrow onward.
Here are some shots taken throughout the week.
Group
Day - 2: Five out of six seedlings above ground.
Day - 4: Five out of six seedlings still remain above ground, they each received 100ml of water.
Day - 7: Exodus Kush seed planted in place of one THC Bomb. All seedling received 200ml of water.
Killer Purps in Grims Soil
Day - 2: This Seedling is a height of 4-5cm on average and still hasn't fully removed its seed casing. It has one set of true leaves developed at this point, that are serrated and decussate opposite.
Day - 4: Seedling has fallen over to due to an increased amount stretching. It is about 5- 6cm in length and just beginning to grow a second set of true leaves.
Day - 7: This fallen over seedling is gathering strength as it picks itself back up after falling over. It has gained 6-7cm in height over all and has fully developed its second set of true leaves.
Killer Purps in Kind Soil
Day - 2: This Seedling is a height of 5cm which is a bit too stretchy right now . It is developing one set of true leaves that are serrated and decussate opposite.
Day - 4: Now at a height of 6cm this seedling has managed to anchor herself well. It has fully developed its first set of true leaves and has begun producing the second. Leaf tip margins are noticeably raised around the edges which is a sure sign on some minor heat stress.
Day - 7: Standing well anchored at a height of 7cm the seedling has almost formed its second set of leaves. Leaf edges still raising but its very minimal.
Widow Bomb in Grims Soil
Day - 2: A little bit shorter than others, 4cm is roughly the height in which this seedling stands. It is developing one set of true leaves that are serrated and decussate opposite.
Day - 4: Standing at a height of 6cm this seedling seems to be growing a little more vigorously compared to the others. First set of true leaves have been developed and it has just begun producing the second.
Day - 7: Almost reaching a height of 7cm 2 days since last recording this seedling has almost fully formed its second set of leaves.
Window Bomb in Kind Soil
Day - 2: On average this seedling has grown to a height of 5cm and its probably the fasted growing of the lot. It has one set of true leaves developed that are serrated and decussate opposite.
Day - 4: This vigorous seedling has already made it to a height of 6cm. Although it is the fastest growing it also appears to be one of the most over stretched of the bunch. It has just begun to produce its second set of leaves.
Day - 7: Now at a height of just over 7cm with a fully formed set of second true leaves this seedling has become more susceptible to heat as stress is noticeable along the leaf edges.
THC Bomb
Day - 6: This seedling was the last to brake ground which is obvious from its lack of growth. It stands about 5-6cm in height and is currently developing its second set of leaves.
Temperature: 29-30C
Relative Humidity: 65-70%
