Undersides are only slightly purple.
Yeah, temp swings... Upwards of 40 a day as often as not. Lemme explain temps here. Even people in California don't (Seems) to understand the central valley. But then, we're here from 40 years in Michigan.
6 am = 67 degrees. 10 am = 75. 2 pm = 95. 5 pm = 110 PLUS! 8 pm = 95... From March through Oct. Winters range from 38's to 85's. 320 days of sunshine. We are at something like 100' above sea level.
"Most" folks say there's a north Ca. and a south Ca. There's a middle people! It's where your capitol is! It's a long damn valley in the middle of the state. Horizontally and vertically the middle. Valley means, you want out of the valley? Go find some mountains. There's a completely different world on the other side.
Rant over.
This is just plain local store bought soil I use for those "other" herbs and tomatoes. I knew I was going to start a grow inside and thought I'd take advantage of some bag seed, a pot, soil...etc. See what this topping, fimming and training is all about. I don't even know if this is male or female yet. Gotta cheap little soil tester. Stick it in a couple inches. Meter says 0 is dry, 4 to 7 is moist, 8 to 10, wet. I keep it as close to 4 or 5 as I can. Thinking it's probably wetter the deeper I go. The pot has 1" holed drilled all over. I have never seen water leak out. I'm pretty comfortable with the amount of water.
4 changes took place at the same time. 1. Out door to in. Real light to t5 HO. 2. Cut from outdoor of 13.7 hours to 12, in tent. 3. MORE airflow by far. 4. Started adding nutrients.
Planted 1st week of July. While out door, once every couple weeks I added a little general hydroponics floraseries just 'cuz I had some. Not much. Was doing fine. First day in the tent (hind sight shoulda waited a couple days to minimize stress) I keep thinking it's a weed. I can't kill the shit in my lawn.
Added recommended on the labels of foxfarm cha-ching, open sesame and beastie bloom. NOTE: I didn't add what was not recommended from the series. If I recall, I added again in 5 days. Looking at the bottles again, I this am see it's supposed to be 7 days. Must not have seen what a problem 2 days could be. Who knows if I got the mixture right... I'm not as dumb as my Mommy told me I am, so I think it's a combination of all the changes, but MOSTLY too many nutritions INTRODUCED too fast. Should have worked up to it while still outside.
Yes, I broke a branch a week before. That didn't help.
Please know that this is nothing like important other that I need to learn. Don't care about the plant.
Can't upload a photo. That's broken for an indeterminate time.
WTF? I can't see how to add a photo. Did it before!
