This is my first grow journal so if theres anything I'm leaving out or anyone wants to know please chime in Grow info.. 4x4x6.5 tent 600w mh/hps in a cool hood reflector Scrog net with 2x2" squares Seedling soil mix.. (solo cups) 16 cups promix hp 2 cups worm castings 1 cup perlite 2 heaping tablespoons of kelp meal Only a dash of dolomite lime, promix has some in it already. Soil mix.. I used the full recipe including the extra amendments from Easy Organic Soil Mix for Beginners and I'm on my 4th grow with this soil, reamended between every cycle. I'm growing out a unlisted strain peakseedsbc offered me... Sweet C99 x NL... (Sweet skunk x c99) f1 x Northern lights purebred.. so that'll make it a polihybrid of sorts I have grown out his northern skunk f1, northern berry f1 , blueberry pure bred, C99 pure bred and a pack of mixed beans and the named strains were very stable and some of the best smoke I've had. I'll post a pic of my tent setup when I can and some budporn of my old grows with Peakseedsbc genetics
Update for the first 2 weeks of the grow. Sept 6 - Sept 20 September 6th Dropped seeds into a glass of water in the morning, poked 12 hours later and all seeds dropped indicating the soaking was a success. Put soaked seeds into a wet (wrung out sponge) paper towel inside a ziploc freezer bag (unzipped) September 7th Tap roots showing on all seeds all of them at least 1/2 inch. Ready to plant! September 8th - MH Lamp set to 400w at 20" away.. Day 1!! All seeds peaking above soil in the morning, check after work.. all seedlings officially above soil and no stuck seed shells! (I take great care in planting seeds to make sure of this, I hate battling with a shell or membrane stuck to the cotyledons!) September 12th First watering after planting ( 1/2 cup for a few drops of runoff, the solo cup is not full of soil yet ) Seedlings doing very well but stretching a bit. September 16th Second watering. ( 3/4 cup ) Still very leggy, topping up with soil to bury some of the stem to stabilize before watering. September 19th Third watering. ( 3/4 cup ) topped up with soil again it sank a bit and I like to bury as much stem as possible.. this time with a bit of my living soil for a bit of a pseudo top dressing. Really taking off now, most are done putting out their 3rd node leaves and working on the 4th WILL POST PICS WHEN I CAN
Well lucky You! I got 3 envelopes of DEAD seeds, either the Feds or he doesn't need anybody from the U.S., since Canada is now legal..
