2nd Grow: Did I have a Dream...

Discussion in 'Indoor Grow Journals' started by RUSH Fanatic, Mar 18, 2015.

  1. Ok, my 2nd grow. Still making mistakes, but a good learning experience so far.
     
    Soil: BuildASoil Organic + WormPower EWC
    Lights: Apollo 180w LED @ 18", (4) 23w CFL @ 8"
    Temps/Humidity:
    • Lights ON - mid 70s, high 30s.
    • Lights OFF - Unknown, haven't been awake when they are off.
    Seeds: Blue Dream pollinated by an unknown male.
    Batch 1: 2 seeds, broke ground on Feb 9th, 2015.
    Batch 2: 6 seeds, broke ground on Mar 7th, 2015.
     
    Batch 1 got seriously burnt by having my LED light too close. I've heard that Blue Dream plants are hardy, so we'll see. I have had them in recovery with CFLs only for about a week, and will keep them that way for another week with the 2nd batch.
     
    Batch 2 are coming along slow. I may need to warm up the dirt with a warming pad. Always tinkering! ;-/
     
    I only just put the 180w LED in with the CFLs. I had it on the flowering Hemlocks until my 300w Mars got here. I'm keeping it OFF for another week however, give the 2nd batch of BDs a bit more time, and another week of recovery for the 1st two burners! I'm thinking I might even raise it up to 24" for a bit.
     
    PICS: Just a couple for now.

    Dream, temporary madness
    Dream, a voice in the wilderness
    Dream, unconscious revelations
    The morning says, the answer is yes
     
    Did I have a dream
    Or did the dream have me

  2. I went ahead moved the 180w LED to 24" and turned it on yesterday. Could be my imagination, but the new sprouts seemed to react. temp are up from 73 degrees to 80 degrees, so I'm sure that helped the soil temps as well. still think I need a plant warmer for the  nursery rhymes! [​IMG]

    BTW, I sliced up a bunch of the Aloe "gel" and made sure to transfer the seedling to the soil within a little pool of Aloe gel [​IMG]

    cfl lights 7-8 inches above the plants, 180w ufo led 23-24 inches above, temps low-mid 80s, humidity right at 30% with the lights on, goes up a bit when they are off.
