Single Plant Apartment Balcony Grow

Waited for the soil to dry out and managed to transplant.

I'm going to be honest it was fucking rough. The soil I have is not 'improved' with anything and doesn't percolate so the water will form these huge clumps. And there was a large clump in the bottom. One root shoot was stuck in that clump and got ripped - I was about to panic. I moved to the new pot, as gently as possible, with the newer 'improved' soil (it has sand in it, between 15-20% sand.

Right after transplant:




Comparison old home (with one of our basil plants) - to new home.




One good thing is that even though a piece of root ripped, I watered and she perked up right away. It has been approx 5 hours and no signs of wilting, no looking sick, no yellowing, and no drooping to the side yet. I think she is taking the transplant well, even though there was some trauma there. I could see the mycorrhizae in the root system so there's a colony started already. I think we're doing good boys. Let me know what you think in the comment thread linked below - cheers.

Thanks for sharing this. I can’t wait to see what you get.

Hey guys - a thing came up and I'll be travelling until Sunday - meaning the plant will be ALONE for 6 days. My sister in law will come water it on Thursday so not completely alone.

I went ahead and fed the plants today as the date was tomorrow but the Bus leaves tonight. Yes I travel by bus it's an 8hour ride I leave at 10pm I'll sleep the whole ride there.....

I wanted to aim higher than 400 but lower than 500 ppms for this feeding....

I worked it out to 46ppms per cc I add per litre of water -

8ccs of nutes x 46 = 368 + 130 (we have hard tap water here) = 498ppm nute solution.

I used an old coke bottle that's 400ML. So 8 x 0.4 = 3.2 ccs into the bottle for the amount above.

I went with 3ccs as it is easier to dosify using the syringe - that puts my CCs at about 490, and I filled the coke bottle past where the letters are at (where the 400ML line is) so I think close to 470-480ppms was the feeding PPMs.

You might ask - dude - your new home for the plant is HUGE- only 400ML seems like too little - it is because I only want to feed the soil around where the roots are at. I don't want to pour feed into all the soil if the roots are just in a small area, that'll create a situation where the soil could get too hot and I don't want that right now. So with this 400ML bottle I pour half on the cannabis, the rest goes into my basil plants. I also have some cilantro popping ground and you'll see photos of those soon.

I messed up the PH adjustment and went lower than 6 ... it's a large pot and I just have to be more careful next time, the rest of the soil will buffer this time.

Take it easy

I know I know I didn't update you during march - I was busy it happens.


Here's some shots of the plant - it's the Northern Delights Auto.

This plant is going to be a single long bud finisher - I am not expecting huge yield. the bud sites are looking frosty enough for me and I think it'll be good stuff....

I have a Durga Mata Indica starting week 3 as well pics will come up later.
