TL;DR (Event Log, will keep updated): 12/09/2017 - Started Germination (Paper Towel Method) 16/09/2017 - Placed Seeds in the Soil 17/09/2017 - Day 1 of Seedling stage 20/09/2017 - First feed 24/09/2017 - Day 1 of Veg 26/09/2017 - Feed with only ph water ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello guys! It's finally time to start in this adventure. My seeds just got here yesterday (4x Skunk XL from RQS), and I just went to get the final accessories today. Here's what I will be rocking: 3"x3"x6" Tent (90x90x170cm) 400W MH for Veg, HPS for Flower 4x 11L (3 gallon) Containers Atami Micro Kit ODORSOK Milwaukee PH Tester Janeco Light Mix Extra Perlite Ran into a few problems while setting up everything since it was done only by me, but everything seems to work okay right now. OdorSok will be replaced by something better next month. Personally, I am not the most careful guy out there and i'm very afraid to damage my new seeds, so I think I will plant them straight into their final pots. I will be mixing the perlite with my Soil, soaking them in 6.5 PH water till I see some runoff, let them rest in the tent for about 24hours with the lights on to warm them up, and then planting the seeds. I believe this is the easiest way to get them going. I will be updating this, and I honestly hope you guys will help me with this new adventure! If you guys have any tips whatsoever, please, PLEASE feel free to reply, I will be more than happy to get help from you guys. I am still learning, so any sugestion is very welcome. Feel free to subscribe! I will keep this very updated. Here's some pictures of the space I built myself!
12/09/2017 is the day I started the germination. Mixed Perlite with my soil, watered it and threw it in the tent with lights on for a few hours. Paper Towel method and the 4 seeds are sitting next to the tent. Let's wait for the magic to happen!
Seeds were placed in the soil two days ago (16/09/2017) and today when I got home they are out of the soil! Turned the lights on, and will have it off from 11pm to 17pm. The rest of the 18 hours will be on!
It means the lights will stay on for 18 hours, and then 6 hours will be off, to simulate night time for the plants. Cheers!
Day 2 of Seedling stage. They were very happy about the light. I am having some trouble getting the temps good. Maximum today was around 85. At a steady 80 right now. I will probably have to get a better extractor next month. Probably Prima Klima 100m. That should help a ton.
Good luck. Looking good, check out my first ever grow, 26 days into flowering!! First grow journal - 3 weeks into flowering!
lol that's awesome, I was thinking about doing the same but then I realized I had no way of changing anything If something wasn't right so what's the point... First grow journal - 3 weeks into flowering!
I set it up so I can control the temps. They are way too high at this moment, it's almost 4pm here and they are under about 86 degrees. I will have to change the times for the lights to go on at around 6pm instead of 3pm.
I haven't watered the seedlings yet, only to prepare the soil. Today before coming to work the soil felt a little dry, so I fed them for the first time. Fed about 1 litre of water to each. Root and growth nutrients, about .7ml per litre of each, ph 6.5. Let's see if they like it!
24 hours after their first feed, and it looks like they enjoyed it. Colours seems vivid and as they should be. I can see some new growth on the top of the leaves on most. Two are bigger than the others though, but they all seem happy. What do you guys think?!
When you say feed do you mean with nutes or just water? Your friendly neighborhood 187budz 400w hid 5G DWC coco Berry Bomb first indoor grow
Usually in soil you want to let them use all the nutes in the soil before you start feeding anything . I usually wait about 3 weeks from sprout. If the soils a little lighter than 2 weeks
Thats what i was thinking but at the same time... if they look healthy/like they liked it... go for it... Your friendly neighborhood 187budz 400w hid 5G DWC coco Berry Bomb first indoor grow
