Grims 1St Sugar Mango Ryder Auto Grow

This is gonna be my first ever grow journal, and my first auto as well. Due to budget, space, and privacy issues, this is pretty much gonna be a barebones grow, so if you want pretty equipment pics with name brand stuff, go elsewhere. Now, on to the fun stuff.

Soil: Now, i know people rant and rave about miracle-gro soil being terrible, but i disagree. I'm using a custom mix of miracle-gro moisture control potting soil, shredded peat moss, and good ole black earth from under an old compost pile in a ratio of 60%/10%/30%.

Seed: World of Seeds SMR

Light: 225 Led 14w red/blue spectrum

Pics will come as soon as she pops. I can't wait!! XD

 

48 hours since i started germinating. No sign of her taproot yet, though. Maybe it's a blessing, though, since my lights still haven't shown up. Oh well.

 

Really, GC? No love at all? I feel sad, now. lmao

 

Has anyone had any luck scrogging a single plant? I've done it before, but never for just one plant. Any advice?

 

For this grow i really want to try and go as natural as possible, so instead of my usual paper towel germ, i just dropped her in a shallow hole in her pot and moistened the soil real well.

And i keep checking her every hour or so "just in case" she's popped while my back was turned. Aahh, the waiting is what sucks.

 

What auto's did you get?

 

Howdy, Peely. And no, not yet. I just bagged the pot to create a humidity tent to hopefully speed things up a bit. It'll be good for her once she sprouts, anyway.

 

Not yet. Trust me, it's seriously barebones right now. My lights aren't even here yet. Going to try to find a grow box today. I'll take pics when she pops, though.

 

Not by far, my friend. But up until now I've had plenty of space and could grow outside.

 

This will be my first auto grow, though. I'm excited to see how it goes! What're you growing?

 

Nice choices! I'm partial to the Widow, myself. Hope she treats you good. They can be fickle ladies.

 

So while i was out hunting for something to make a grow cabinet out of the little girl finally popped!! Her root is pointed the wrong way, but she'll take care of that herself.

The cabinet was a bust, though. I'll either have to build one from scratch or suck it up and order a tent.

And my camera wants to make close up shots blurry, so for now there won't be any pics. Sorry, folks.

To this day it still amazes me at how these wonderful plants take off once they start.

Her root took the long way around the shell for some reason, but that didn't slow her down. In a little over 8 hours she put on more than a centimeter of root. She should stand up either tomorrow or the day after.

Okay, my nutes and box are on the way. Scrapped the natural grow idea and am just gonna go hydro, with a small SCRoG for just one plant. Nutes will be the Fox Farm trio.

I just hope that she slows down some for a few days. Transplanting from soil to hydro isn't difficult, but if she's too far along it may shock her. *sigh* Why do things always deviate from the plan? lol
