It has been suffering from what looks like an iron deficiency ever since it first sprouted. I do some LST, starting with the Jack 47 in the front rightĪll the plants seem to be growing well except the Sour Diesel. Started some light LST ( low stress training) to pull the main stems down and away from the center. Here’s the Jack 47 tri-leaf at the end of week 1 – it has three leaves at every node instead of just two. It’s beautiful isn’t it? At this point I’m hoping that extra leaves at each node will end up with more bud. I wonder if things would have gone better if I killed the tri-leaf and nurtured the two-leaf Jack 47 plant. In any case, I eventually have to throw away the tri-leaf plant. This weirdness may also have been what caused there to be twins in this seed. From what I understand, tri-leaf plants are caused by polyploidy, which happens when their is abnormal cell division. I decided to kill the smaller sprout, though later I come to regret that as I end up running into all sorts of problems with the tri-leaf plant.

As you can see if you look above, there are three cotyledons (round leaves) on the tall seedling, while the tiny seedling only has two. You can see a tiny set of leaves behind the main sproutĪt this point, I didn’t realize the main sprout was a tri-leaf plant. When the leaves appeared, there were two different distinct sprouts – “twins.” I’ve heard of this happening before, but it was kind of neat to see it in person. I noticed that the seedling in the lower right corner, the Jack 47, had two taproots coming from the same seed Measuring spoons (I got this particular set because it goes down to 1/32 tsp) You can use this schedule exactly as is for growing cannabis in coco coir. Here’s the nutrient schedule I used (PDF) (it’s basically the regular GH schedule for the Flora trio, but I cut the dosages in half and converted everything to imperial measurements (tsp, etc).

Note: This particular model is no longer available. However, a very similar 250W lamp is available here. I haven’t personally used this lamp, but it is well rated and can use both a 250W or a 400W bulb if you want to upgrade down the road. Don’t forget to get a 250W HPS bulb!Īir Circulation: Two small clip-on fans circulating air around and over plantsĮxhaust: Strong tabletop fan above tent (I also used a window fan pointing out if the room got hotter than outside) – temps around 78-83☏ even without a real exhaust because the light is so small.ĬaliMagic (Cal-Mag supplement, essential when growing in coco coir)
