She looks good bro :groupwave:


Thanks Sampas. :thank you:

I'm doing everything the same as when I grew that huge plant.

The side lights get turned on at 1 amp (total), after 16 days, then turned up to maximum at 27 days.

Nutes start at 1/4 strength after two full sets of leaves.

To me it looks like she elongates for the light..

That's exactly what I want !!


I remember when I was using SILs and I cooked/light bleached a couple seedlings.
I remember that I set my 5-bulb splitter at 21" above the seedling and she was fine.

So I used my new light meter to get a measurement at 21" below the 5 lights (800 lumen, 10 Watts each), and got a reading of around 6000 Lux.

It's the same reading I'm getting with my 4 two foot long ceiling strips at test current about four feet above the plant.


I'm really hoping for a 1 pound plant this time !! 👍🏻👍🏻

I'm liking the close-up pictures.

It's neat seeing the fuzz on the stalk and leaves.

She's looking a little yellow and pale, but they are brand new leaves and will probably darken up as she gets a bit older.

The cotyledons are still a dark green, so she shouldn't be deficient with anything.

She's looking good.

The temperature is about 77°F and 42% RH.
I'm going to keep spraying the top of the soil to help keep the humidity up.

Well, I F¿€Ked up.

I was messing with my seedling and she's not looking too happy.

I ran out of LIFTA. I need to order more.

The cotyledons dried out and look dead.

She doesn't appear to have grown at all in the past couple of days.

I think she's too wet, so I dug out around her hoping to get some air to the roots.
I dunno.

She's not dead yet and may recover but I'm worried that I may have stunted her ?

I decided to start another seed.

If I end up with two plants, I'll grow another window plant.

Hey PC, probably stem rot if you were spraying them too frequently at a young age, hard to bounce back from that. The new plant will definitely be the quicker solution. Keep at her man

Yep overwater or ph troubles. I did notice it myself that if I spray a lot daily the soil gets kinda moist. And till the morning the humidity works its way to the top of the soil, then you spray again so the root sits in very wet soil.
Maybe a humidifier would be better. Or spraying around the pot, if you can put a tarp or something. I have a (HDPE) plastic tray in my growroom and I mostly spray in it and I avoid the top of the soil when they are already damp enaugh.
I would say you can help it but letting her dry, maybe raise temp or ventilation a bit if you can and also maybe by using a wood/bamboo skewer to bore some holes around it in the soil. But only stab the soil straight down, no lateral forces (so roots are mostly untouched).
Maybe you can save it, but the recovery time will be a loss.

Well, it looks like I'm starting over.

That was a quick death.
It's not too big a deal. I only lost about 8 days.

I'm not going to spray the next plant.

I'll try to use more LIFTA with my next attempt.
