🌱Sativa Grow - Day 6🌱

This young sativa seedling continues to grow those new sets out. I'll keep feeding pH balanced water w/no nutes. I'm hoping once this plant devlops these few leaves it will start to pick up growth! 😊

🌱Sativa Grow - Day 5🌱

Seedling continues growing out its next set of leaves. Hopefully within a few days they should be fully developed. By then, this plant should start taking off fairly well, but only time will tell! ⌚🌿

🌱 Sativa Grow - Day 4 🌱

Seedling is continuing to grow healthy and fast! This one is already on it’s next set of leaves they are slowly making their way out! I’m going to keep feeding this sativa pH balanced water and no nutrients. My seed starting mix should have a proper amount needed for my plant to thrive. Soon though!

🌱 Sativa Grow - Day 3 🌱

This seedling is thriving & enjoying life right now! True leaves have finally made their way to the light! True leaves are your plants first real leaves, the small round leaves on the side are cotyledons which are “snack packs” to help get the seedling going. Once the seedling hits vegetation stage is usually when a plant will shed these off saying “I’m grown up and don’t need you anymore!.”

🌱 Sativa Grow - Day 2 🌱

My seedling sprouted just yesterday and was happy to see it made it’s way to life! Today, this one has quickly grown in size and has it’s cotyledons with it’s true leaves ready to poke! I did decide to remove the bags now and also bring the LED light down to prevent stretching. My bags didn’t allow me to bring the light low enough so away they must go! Great to get a seed going though. Now that I adjusted the distance this one should stay where it’s at and focus on leaf & root growth right now.

Tip: Avoiding stretching early in a grow is essential for the plant later on! This can be caused by your artificial lighting system being to far away from the plant, causing it to grow towards the light. (Not in a good way!) Be sure to adjust your light closer if this happens so your plant isn’t fighting for light and can grow how it should. If you don’t adjust it and allow the stretching to get worse the plant won’t have strong support later on when you go to flower which could cause branches to give and ruin you’re plant!!!

🌱 Sativa Grow - Day 1 🌱

Planted my germinated seed late last night into a solo cup and added a sandwich bag to keep some moisture and humidity. By the next day, it has already left it’s shell and broke through the soil. Excited to see how this one pans out! 

🌱 STARTING SETUP 🌱

Pot: Solo Cup (Temporary)

Lighting: 5600-6500k Daylight LED Bulb

Soil: Organic Seed Starting Mix

Feed: pH Balanced Water

I use a solo cup because these seedlings don’t need a very large pot to grow and I don’t want to chance over-watering them. This also allows them to out grow their current cups first, then planting them into a slightly larger pot, and then so on! Seed starting mix is great just getting started because the medium is soft, light, and doesn’t have lots of nutrients. Seedlings don’t need nutrients that early. I like to wait atleast 3 weeks before giving them nutes. Lighting, I just use a clip-on lamp witha 5600k-6500k daylight led bulb with atleast a 60watt rating. Seedlings grow best with these lights to me cause they don’t overpower, remember, these little ones don’t need lots of everything to start out. Let them grow a little more and get stronger! Keep your light around 3-5 inches from your seedling to prevent stretching,stretching is bad, m’kay? When feeding my seedlings, I like to use good ol’ pH balanced water. Nothing special. Cannabis plants uptake nutrients best in soil at a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. I like to aim for around 6.5-6.7 when I mix my feed. You can find cheap pH Kits online that give you everything you need to adjust & test you’re water’s pH. I personally don’t use any pH adjusters, I use lime juice to adjust my pH naturally and it works well for me! Lime juice adds acidity to the water allowing me to lower it to wher I need. Hope some of this information helps with anyone out there growing cannabis!  🌱
