My little big jungle

Rafael Cazuza · #1 (**permalink**) 11-17-2009, 07:38 PM

Hello fellow growers !
Me and my girlfriend are beginning a grow project here in our house, we intend to do a Outdoor/Indoor mix, because we have lots of space and good sunlight.

We live in Brazil... so it´s hot and wet here...
It´s our first time growing though I have research a lot on the net to (try) know what we´re doing
We bought some seeds from Attitude last week... probably gonna get it by the end of this week. Meanwhile we´re preparing the growing media and installing the lamp.

So that is the idea...

Seeds
Nirvana
10x White Widow
20x Maui Waui
10x Snow White

Freebies
1 Fem DNA Power Kush
1 Fem DNA Lemon Skunk

Vases
5L Pots for germ/beggining of veg
25L Pots for flowering

Light
400w Metal Halide

Growing Media
20% Black Soil
20% Peat Substrate (it has some vermiculite and perlite)
20% of Worm Casting
15% Pine Bark (small, chopped)
20% Coconut powder + fiber (boiled and then chopped)
5% Castor bean (not sure the name in english, it´s a organic stuff with lots of nitrogen in it)

There´s some lime too... for the PH.

Set up
Going for 24/0, at night with the lamp and at day on sunlight for the whole veg... then going to put plants on 12/12 (sun only) two at a time to flower... while the others keeps growing.

We probably gonna get some clones from the females to plant direct on the ground with no vases... but this is for the near future.

That´s it... gonna put some photos next week.
So if you guys have any suggestions I´m glad to hear it because it´s my first time

Love and Peace !

UPDATE # 1
We decide to go with 20/4 light period instead of 24/0 to give the plants some rest.
I soaked then in the water for about 5 hours and now they´re between paper towels in a air-lock container.
As soon as some sprout I will update pics.
Fingers cross guys !

UPDATE # 2 - DAY ONE
Seeds are going faaast

. On 5 hours all the WW had the white stuff coming out, today less then 24 hours after, the Lemon Skunk, Snow White and Power Kush had come out as well. We plant all of then on the pots, about 2,5cm deep.
Only the Maui Waui remain on the paper towel, I think that for being mainly Sativa, it takes a little while to germinate.
Things going well so far...

UPDATE # 3 - DAY THREE
I am happy

Everything going perfect so far... on the second day, two or three babys had the "leaves" burned... we were worried, and decide to put the lamp a little farther and give it more water.
Today was marvelous... they spend the day on the natural sun, with lots of water. And tonight all of them were sprouting.
What we plant so far:
4x White Widow
3x Snow White
1x Maui Waui
1x Lemon Skunk
1x Power Kush
There still some on the papel towel, I´ve take lots of pictures, but my cable is missing somewhere in the house ahuahau gonna post photos asap guys, the little babys are beatiful.
Peace!!! and Jah rasta sunshine for u all

Thanks bro... glad to heard that, my nights and nights up reading have worth something hehehe

Sounds good dude

, only thing I see possibly bad is make sure you have enough light for you plants, now those lights can usually (from what I know) cover about 5-6 plants easily. Good luck man, and happy growing!!

Thanks, happy is the word

About the light, the plants will use it only during the veg phase, time when less light is needed, so I think that I can cover 12 plants at a time.

Once they are ready to flower it will be "only" the old and big yellow ball

damn this seeds are taking their time to get here... 12 days already :P

Rafael Cazuza · #9 (**permalink**) 11-30-2009, 11:30 PM

Today I walk in my house and there was the package

It took 23 days from the day I order... but for my surprise, instead of 10x Maui Waui they send 20x... and 1 Lemon Skunk and 1 Power Kush, so the freebies really compensate the extra delivery time ! Attitude rocks.

I´m gonna edit the first post with photos and news every week.

The seeds are already on paper towel... it has began O.O

naw i don't have a journal.
i have no idea what strain because i picked it up from a friend for free so i dont really have much hope, but i might as well try.
something is already wrong, i think. its a seedling and it's about 1'' tall but the seed shell is still on the end. It has been 3 days since it came out of the ground and still it is on.
i don't know what to do

That is a good thing to hear... I plant 12 pots, they´re all under the light, but when they get bigger and I change for the bigger pots maybe some of then will get a little less light.
But that is not much of a problem because I will rotate them everyday, and besides, of the 20 hours of light 12 they will get from the sun, so I think the girls will be fine.

slitherboy · #15 (**permalink**) 12-03-2009, 02:42 AM

Yes, it was very good stuff

Thanks for reassuring me. The stem is perfectly green so i guess it is fine so far.
I'll keep updating you if you want.
