On my first day back to work after my first vacation I found a pot behind a jersey barrier that had 10 small marijuana plants in it, I took them home and replanted them. its been a month so far and they’ve grown quite a bit, most have shown signs of being female plants (thats the good kind!)
When I had first stumbled upon the plants they were all in the same fabric pot peaking out behind a jersey barrier. I was walking around the back of my lot assessing what needed to be done after having my first whole week away from the store when I had found them, the timing was perfect!
During my vacation I had moved my grow tent and set it up in a new location, having not used it for a couple of years I dust off the cobwebs and had it ready to go just waiting for seeds / plants to start the growing season. You can imagine my surprise when I found this days later. 10 Plants total, one giant one on the left side of the pot that had already gone into flower and another assortment of different sized ones from small to tiny. Against all odds these ladies had survived to come into my care, and I was ready for them.
How We’re doing so far..
One month into the veg cycle and we are looking pretty sharp, we have some signs of what I believe is a potassium deficiency and have some green moss growing in the soil which may be a sign of overwatering, this might be partially because of the size of the pots and the plants when they were first transplanted, the pots were a little too large.
This one pictured below has this deep purple color on the edges of the leaves, with the elongated tips it makes me think I may be having a possible potassium deficiency but I’m fairly new with growing so as far as I know it could be slight note burn, I don’t think that is the case since the leaves are still fairly healthy otherwise.
To finish off this post and what would be the first update on the plants I have a photo below under the purple light showing the plants together, their positions are not the same as in the first photo, and four of them were replanted again after the first time into small cups as I had them all (5) in one gallon pot together and that wasn’t going to do for long. These photos are from around the 4 week after replant / being found. I am planning on going another month or so before switching to flower depending on how the plants look at the time. I’m trying not to rush it as I don’t want to have too little product come from all the time spent, but I also don’t want to run out of space either.
Now a quick look into the setup, the light I’m using is a BESTVA DC series 2000W LED which has a 3x3FT spread in a 4×4 tent LAGARDEN grow tent. I’m using General Hydroponics nutrients, Micro, Grow and Bloom, and CalMag by Botanicare. I’ve used these before in my last grow a couple of years back, I’ve also started experimenting with a couple of different new nutrients this time around, Rootinator by Rock and TRIBUS original which is microbes that help the plant grow. (I don’t know too much about them yet but so far the plants look great!)
