Grow Space:
Homemade 2×2×3
Happy Frog Soil
Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Blend
Lights - Started with 2x 120W CFLs, Upgraded to 1000W LED
The only issue with my setup has been humidity control. I can't for the life of me raise it higher than 30%, even with a humidifier continuously going.
Genetics:
Fresh Candy Autoflower - Pyramid Seeds (over 6 years old!)
Okay, let's start with a little background:
My first grow was a little over 6 years ago in college. Didn't really go well - didn't grow with any nutrients, only used cfls, no real effort etc. I think I ended up with a measly 18g yield lol so after that, tucked away the other 2 seeds I bought and completely forgot about them. Well a few weeks ago, I was cleaning and stumbled across the little plastic case with them inside. I popped the seeds in a paper towel and bag and decided to see what happens. Lo and behold, one of them grew a tap root! I popped her in a little solo cup and decided to see what happens.
The seed sprouted on 12/7, however the shell became stuck on one of the cotyledon leaves. I tried to remove it gently but couldn't without risk to the leaves, so I left it. The partial helmet head definitely caused some abnormalities in the first true leaves and 2nd 3-point leaves (can still be seen in the pictures). The shell is actually still stuck to the old cotyledon
So now here we are, approaching the end of week 3! She's now in her final 1 gallon pot and loving the new LED. With the seed being over 6 years old, I've definitely noticed some slow growth. I could be wrong, but it feels like the plant isn't stretching as much as it should (let me know your thoughts). Otherwise, the new leaves coming in appear to be very healthy and I can see some of the pistils coming in!
Since the seed was older, I'm definitely trying to be careful not to stress her out too much. Because of this, I've been a bit hesitant to begin trimming. I'm wondering whether I should wait to remove the deformed first sets of leaves or if I should get rid of them now? Or should I just keep them for the timebeing? Also I was thinking if beginning LST starting Wednesday, thoughts?
First time posting here, but love the community! I appreciate any input you guys have. Or feel to just sit back and enjoy the updates!
