Current Week: 5
Lighting: 24/0
1 - 450w HPS fixture w/ reflector
4 - 4ft T5 fluorescent (for side lighting)
Watering: 1/3 gal 3 times per week.
I actually just saved this girl from a nasty frost, I planted her outside by our air conditioner awhile back when I found a seed in my sack. She went unnoticed for awhile until I saw those fan leaves stretching in the sun one day. I transplanted her about 2 weeks ago. She was about 3 weeks old prior to the transplant.
Transplanted into a 5 gallon bucket, using some of the original dirt to lessen shock. About 30% original soil, 70% Fox Farm Ocean Forest potting soil.
When we dug her up we clipped the root ball a bit and all of her fan leaves (5-7 inches across) wilted, and it didn't look promising for a few days. With a little TLC she pulled through and got new growth started. I let her soak up sunlight on days where the outside temperatures were above 70. She typically got about 8-9 hours of sunlight, then I would carry her back into the grow room to soak up the fluorescent lighting.
I didn't want to keep growing with two separate lighting sources (Sunlight being around 20k lx, and the fluorescents being around 6k lx), so I went out and got a 450w HPS light and have it about 20 inches above the plant.
I am inducing flowering tomorrow, now that she is about 18 in. tall and her branches are growing in length. I will post more pics soon.
