First time grower, Blue dream in straight up happy frog soil

[ChildoftheCosmos]

Growth seems to be a bit slow, probably because it's cold in the garage with the window open for airflow... using a led bulb with plastic part cut off for extra light, looks healthy imo, cup was super light like before i watered it when i checked on it this morning so i watered it. Gonna wait like a week before watering again because it holds moisture well. It's been 4 days since it poked out from the soil, germinated using damp napkin method. Popped around 12 hours and saw a tiny root inside not yet sticking out and i threw it straight into soil

Was thinking of doing a grow journal but not sure what thread to start it in

Hardly any growth since the last picture but... are those trichomes?? Lol jk

Cold isn't good. Bring them in the house or at least close the window, plenty of air in a garage for a seedling.

It's coming along slowly, i think those two little things sticking out are the 2nd set of leaves. Wonder if i keep raising it in the cold will it become a blue dream variant that grows better in the cold down the line? Lol

My favorite strain to grow I split them once they get about 7@10 inches to get more colas because they can get out of control VERY HUNGRY Plant

So i downloaded a lux meter on my galaxy s10 and apparently the led bulb with no cover/diffuser is hitting 10,000 lux, about 12 inches away

Get it as close as you can watch the leafs she can take a lot of light and she will eat a lot i’ll show you a shot of mine to give you an idea

Thanks, I'm gonna top it and try to clone with the top, gonna wait for top to be like 8 inches though. I want to flower both at the same time so i can harvest within a close interval and let the mother grow do some experimental super late harvests to see how the smaller buds come out if left to flower for a long time

Hope this help I’m in 2 gallon Airpots I flip 3 weeks apart perpetual

good luck on the grow dont over love the plant

Hmm set second of leaves has a strange dark tinge... hopefully it's just early signs of blueberry genetics being grown in cold conditions

 

[ChildoftheCosmos]

Day 8, brought it inside to warmer temps and switched to 6-8 hours light/2 hours dark for a short experiment, stem turned a proper green after letting it sit in darkness, was white/pale and slight reddish at the soil

 

[ChildoftheCosmos]

Day 9, have it like maybe 5-7 inches away from light at 15,000 lux on phone lux meter app

[ChildoftheCosmos]

Changed to a 1100 lumen bulb with plastic part on instead of 800 with plastic off and now it's sitting 5 inches right below bulb at 20-25,000 lux let's see how it goes now, gonna stick with 18/6 schedule for now, i think my inconsistent light times might have slowed its growth
