So remember that lone CDLC in the tent? Well that lone seed didn't germinate so after 8 days I planted another CDLC seed beside it in the same pot. About 4 days later it sprouted. Now here we are, 19 days after initially planting a CDLC seed......




This little bugger has her first tiny set of leaves out and will be about 2 weeks behind her older sisters in the tent. Gave her about 150-200ml of water last night. Light is about 24" above, still at 30% intensity.

Now, for the other 3. They received their first top dressing with 4 tbsp of Worm Castings per gal, 1tbsp of 4-4-4 and 2 tbsp of 2-8-4 (total). I was going to wait until week 3 of veg to do this originally but, since I mixed their medium lighter than I wanted to at germination, I decided to add the amendments one week early. This was coupled with a watering.

Will update more around end of this weeks veg period. Happy May 2-4!

Day 11 Veg Update Pics

tarting week 3 today. Plants are looking alright I think. Of course I have two that I believe I under-watered a week and a bit ago that are shorter and showing slower growth than #2. I also think that maybe they are getting too much light (at 30% for 2 weeks now). Some of the leaf edges are starting to, very slightly, curve up. Not sure if a slight curve is normal but I will continue to observe and look into the subject. Will change things around if I need to.

And here's a couple pictures of the curling that I'm talking about. Any input on the reason why/solution to this curling (or the grow in general) would be appreciated.

I have read on these forums, that the up curling of leaves like that is either because they are either too hot, too dry or too windy.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the points @Hotfire

Raised the light at bit to help with the leaf curling and started some LST with Double Grape #2 on Day 17.

Day 20:

Good progress with the larger Double Grape. Both her and the her slightly smaller sister have taken well to the training. Barely done any defoliating and have definitely not touched the smaller of the three. Here's a pic of them all with a closeup of Double Grape #3.

Compost tea was also given to the larger plant yesterday. I brewed up a small batch (only enough to water the one) of ---> this compost tea kit<---.

Also, here's a quick pic update of the CDLC I have in the tent at Day 9 from sprout.
