Strain: Watermelon Mimosa (seed)
Soil: 50% coco coir, 10% perlite, 40% oceanforest.
Nutrients: FPJ for phytohormones, compost tea for microbes, vigoro 29-0-4 for vegetative growth stage increase, and miracle grow 24-8-16 from week 8 to finish
.
I planted my seed directly into my soil mixture, and fed it with just FPJ for the first 4 weeks. I then top dressed with compost around week 6. I was also foliar feeding FPJ almost daily.
During this time I carried my plant from one side of my house to the other around noon, then back again after sunset. This gave me an extra 3 hours of direct sunlight in the morning. (Like moving it from the east facing side of a hill to the west facing side)
At week 8 around the end of June, I stopped moving my plant and stopped getting those extra 3 hours in the morning (like leaving it on the west facing side). My plant stretched and grew as if to flower, then started to turn yellow and drooped as it ran short on nutrients. I then spread vigoro 29-0-4 over the top of my soil lightly (yes the lawn fertilizer) and stopped using the FPJs. You can see in the pictures where this occurred.
My plant then went back to dark green within 3 days, and because it was still June, and had been saturated with nitrogen, went back into veg.
I then started feeding with miracle grow 24-8-16 at a rate of 3 tbs/5gal daily and weekly compost tea feedings for microbes.
Now I’m just going through the flowering phase and we’ll see how it turns out finishing with miracle grow and compost tea.
