Year of the Dragons
Day 7 (15/3)
Well I think all is looking good, could be greener. Still struggling with temps when the central heating is on (I added another pc fan to the air intake which has helped a little). Have been watering frugally and only around the base of the plant like in a column (check out Trappers threads for this) with oxygenated water and root juice added at 2ml litre. Still on 24 hours lighting though i might cut it down at the 14 day mark to 20 hours, its getting dusty in that room i want to be able to spray them down.
The only concern was the baby leaves (cotyledons’) can’t say it and certainly had to look it up to spell it, were looking purple, but thanks to redrobbo my concerns were put at ease, he suggested too much light, which after raising my light solved the problem if indeed it was a problem.
A Google search will only terrify you and some of the advice to resolve it borders on the ridiculous; but basically it seems to be a response to a stressor, too much light, too cold etc, the fact it’s gone purple is the plant helping itself, it’s certainly not a reason to start giving it crazy amount of nute’s’ as some Google suggestions called for, so look for the easy reasons and remedy’s.
A real positive this week as been my wife’s interest in the plants, i think she is secretly falling in love with them and enjoying seeing them grow and who wouldn’t.(lol, if they take a turn for the worse at some point at least i won’t be crying alone)
I know you want pics, here goes with names
Sersi (Tyrone special)
She is in the biggest pot and looking strong.
Leeloo (sour crack 1)
Smaller of the three, she came about 6 hours into the world later and has kept behind but looks healthy.
Gamora (sour crack 2)
Nearly same size as Sersi, could be mistaken as twins
Group shot
So that’s it, any comments/ advice welcome.
