Germinating a new plant, trying to save a current plant that was abandoned.

[Rookiegrower710]

So I decided to play it safe by starting a new run just incase my Candy Bonez does not make it. Heres a short story what happened
so on february 14 I took this seedling that was abandoned outside and placed it inside a tent. I transplanted a few days from a clay pot due to being told its no good for cannabis plants. I will just water the new plant once its born until it can handle a bit of a higher ppm from 350 to 450 ppm once its able to but in the meantime time to correct previous mistakes with current and new plant.

heres the environment and what nutrient suplement im using in the mean time for Candy Bonez
Right now I need to focus
86.5 F… a bit to high and Im running inline ac at full capacitty and two oscilliating fans neer the plant.

38% humidity… trying to use a humdifier but no change… heard less air flow creates more humidity. Should I lower oscillating and inline fans intensity?

vpd: 2.63 kPa to high.

enviroment is a mess… imma see what ajustmentd I can do to raise humidity inside my tent.

was just using pH up & down on with just water on Candy Bonez for a few days after it was transplanted. Yesterday I used 450 ppm of just 1ml per gallon of flora gro and thats it. I do have more nutrients but taking it easy so it can keep on living its battle of life or death.

pH at 5.8

medium is a mix of coco coir with perlite and soil reused from previous runs. The germintaed seedling its growing in a completly soil medium so a higher pH is used than just 5.8

Is it okay to topp after 5th node? …after it recovers of course…

[Rookiegrower710]

How long should I wait… About a week or 2?

Fella please don't take offence but you gotta chill out on this one plant and forget about it for now. These salvaged grows take months to rehab and harvest it's one plant. Focus on doing a better job and learning basics.

[Rookiegrower710]

No offense taken. Just havent giving up on her

[Rookiegrower710]

Current readings after making some adjustments to increase the rH, and lower temp a bit.
earlier when I made this post she was at 38% humidity, and 86*F and now shes at 53% and 80.8*F

she seem to open her new fan leaves and its doing okay so far
havent fed, or water since yesterday. About 1000mL/1L was used to water it and I used less flora gro and thats it.

she seems to be growing branches too.

I’m noticing progress

I am not as experienced or knowledgeable as many on this forum, but I believe 1000ml is too much for that little plant.
And forget about topping until that plant starts to grow vigorously. Stop loving her to death!

[Rookiegrower710]

Truee. Im doing 500ml for feeding, and a should use a bit less than 1000ml for watering

Hows the plant doing so far

It's fine. The lower leaves look a little droopy from over water but the new growth is praying and you've got some nice little aux shoots coming in too.

Experiment with fixing your environment as described below 👇

Rookiegrower710 if this is the same setup from your previous posts, I think the carbon filter could be limiting your cooling/ventilation. Limiting outside airflow can increase humidity, but those small plants are not making much moisture, and you're trapping heat from the light. If you want to tame that VPD you must get temps down too, not just increase humidity. Pull off the filter and see what the temp and RH are like. Keep the humidifier and internal fans going. There's a difference between internally recirculated airflow and ventilation. The hot air needs to come out of the tent and mix with the cooler surrounding air. You will lose some humidity too, but you'll just have to see if the trade-off is acceptable.

The plant doesn't look bad, but if it's been stressed it will take time to recover. Be patient. Try not to overwater, and take it easy on the nutrients (like you have been) until you get your environment figured out. You can deal with the carbon filter later (much much later) if it starts to smell.

I don't know how high you have that light, but if you can turn it down in intensity and lower it (for now) it could help lower temps. EDIT: the lights look good, nevermind. I had to look back at a different photo.

There are cheap ways to make DIY humidity sources using a towel hung on a rod, wicking CLEAN water from a container, with a fan blowing on the towel. I don't know why your humidifier isn't working better. With that thing inside a tent it should be like a jungle in there. Is that a warm mist humidifier?

[Rookiegrower710]

12HourPower so my friend thats a more experienced grower suggested the same thing. Changing its environment. He reccomended 77% humidity and 70-80*F for temp.

I should of just used 500ml at a time from now own until the plant shows vigorous growth. I used around 750 ml, I decreased from 1000ml. I’m learning by listening, watching and trying.

he reccomended a 500ml of his nutrient solution at 5.8 pH but several people in this recipe can be more harmful than good at its stage.

he suggested to topp the plant a week from now. And to not use that much water. Gonna let her dry for a couple of days.

current stats during the 18 hour day cycle:
temp: 88*F, rH: 71%, vpd: 1.31 kpa

current stats during the 6 hour night cycle:
Temp: 80.4*F, rH: 81%, vpd: 0.67 kpa

My humidifier’s filter is no longer good so I stopped using it.
I did turn off the carbon filter, and left the two oscillating fans af full capacity. For humidity alternatives I used wet sponges by the intake air ducts from outside. And I’m using a wet towell

Rookiegrower710 How do you determine when to water your plants? Feeling the top of the soil is a good start, but you should familiarize yourself with what a pot full of dry soil feels like when you pick it up vs how heavy it is immediately after watering. Then only water when you have a pot that feels almost as light as when it was dry.
And I wouldn't consider topping until you start seeing vigorous growth.
Good luck!

Rookiegrower710 I meant remove the carbon filter from the inline fan, but KEEP the fan going. Don't turn off the inline fan completely. Even without that, I don't get how it's 80°F at night. How warm is your home? The temp inside the tent should be the same as the surrounding room within an hour of lights off.

about the same as it was 5minutes ago
