FAIL // DP Meringue Photoperiod - Soil too compact

Hello all!

After a complicated month of August, I'm slowly getting back to a bit of nice and quiet. Socially anyway, coz work is raving mad at the moment.
Anyways, as I said in the last entry (miserably failed I have to add), I got to taste some Meringue while on holiday in Brittany, France. I immediately fell in love with this combination of terpenes absolutely unidentifiable (I'm crap anyways) and when I got back the first thing I did was to get three of them Dutch Passion seeds from the Zamnesia website, and got rewarded with 3 auto AK GB XXL and a sample of organic blooming finisher of some kind. At the same time, I finally had the opportunity to test something else than RQS seeds for the first time. (I still have a few :rofl:)

Calculating time of harvest veeery approximatively, I have to start now to avoid having to shoot off somewhere again at an important moment. Unfortunately, ithe weather's kind of desert like atm with super dry and hot conditions, so it might be a tad more complicated at the beginning. Get the towels ready...

By the way, I finished all my RQS Fruit Spirit, and it was reaaally fruity grapefruit towards the end. Not my favourite, but quite nice.

Ok, so for this one, we'll keep it basic, no topping, no training, except a bit of lollypopping. I want to leave it to grow as little disturbed as possible, while maximising the size of the buds. Still working with Biobizz with allmix soil and I'll add a bit of Biogrow, then Biobloom, and then I might try that sample of Superboom from BoomNutrients.
The usual 2 small fans in my 80cmx80cm, occasional A/C, sowed in small pots on the 10th, and will transfer to 3gal pots towards third week.

Day 2 - Seedling Stage

After a couple of nights spent in a glass of water, I sowed the two seeds in small pots. They germinated after another couple of nights, and one of them stretched a bit more than the other, and the two first leaves got stuck in the inside film of the seed casing. Surgicaly removed with tweezers. Lights are on at 75%, and at approx 20 inches. Will lower it a tad more to 18 in a few days

Week 1 - Seedling Stage

Well, call me Dummy, call me Britney, or whatever you want coz I did it again... Am I that heavy handed? I did not weigh the pots but I really thought I'd have the hang of it by now. Why did I take the risk? at 15 bucks a pop it hurts a tad... what a plonker

Yes, I overwatered my seedlings... When lights go on they are floppy, and only get in shape towards middle afternoon. I think this is going to end up in the bin. I'll wait for a couple more days just in case. This is day 9.

Week 3 - Fail

Hello! It's been a while since my last update, but after a massive failing streak, I decided to focus a bit more on my growing than on my blogging.
So it seems I overwatered again. I find it very strange as I did not change the usual recipe, and don't see what else it could be. (And it's certainly not a sudden blight :biggrin:)

Anyways, I just wasted a total of 7 seeds, including my 3 DP Meringue 😭 at 15 bucks a pop. On the positive side of things, i was tidying my cupboard which was a bit of a mess, and found a bunch of old seeds that I had completely forgotten about. The first ones I found were the usually "cursed" blue and royal cheese seeds (Everytime I tried to grow cheese in the past, it failed lol) one Titan F1, a Sweet Skunk, all autos, and a bunch of photoperiods like special and purple queen, lemon haze..

I've put a Blue Cheese, a Royal Cheese, the Titan and Sweet Skunk all in the water, sowed the Blue Cheese and Royal Cheese straight in 3 gal pots watered one day before (impossible for these two to be overwatered now) Titan drown in the water but no tap root, so sowed in a cup. Sweet skunk drown but no tap root after 36hrs.

I won't start the blog for these seeds before they are actually safe to turn to real plants :goodluck:

Tada
