WE ARE BACK IN ACTION (with some upgrades this time)
and experience!
FIRSTLY
this is a HYBRID Outdoor/Indoor Grow
Outside during the day, tent and light at night
Cost saving and nothing beats some good ol outdoor natural goodness along with extras at night to make the most of it all
If you have followed my previous diaries my aim is always to try and stay as natural as possible but I cannot that a tent and lights do good work
Currently at night I am using a 75W Custom built Seedling/Veg Light (Hyundai light bracket with full spectrum marine bulbs)
SECONDLY
We have new soil!
Soil that has been tried and tested by many others - Freedom Farms Premium Organic
Absolutely loving the new soil, even under the microscope... It is airy, I can see the organic additions very well (check photos for ingredients)
The soil does not require any nutrients for the first five weeks.... but I do like Ecobuzz so I added some Rootpro to all my new seedlings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to this specific plant
First time using jiffy/peat pellets for germination, I will never eve look back. It is really such a simple way of doing things
24 hours in water
then into the jiffy pellet
once sprouted i pushed her into her new forever home
done and dusted
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Watering I am still doing manually and by the eye
Misting a little bit when things have been dry for a while has been doing well, each plant requires different amounts... we will work with that
---------------------------------------------------------------------
She has stretched a little but I have now fixed that by adjusting my night light a bit
During the day she is in my garden room with semi transparent shading, with some decent sun and heat
---------------------------------------------------------------------
That's all for now, trying to keep my diaries more simple this time around
Looking good brother! You can't go wrong with that Freedom Farms soil, I've done multiple grows with mine. Good call on the root pro, I've been pleased with the results since I started to introduce trichoderma in my grows. Take a look at silicon plus from hydroponic.co.za, it plays nicely with that stuff!
All the best with this one!
Suerte con las plagas compañero 💪 Y es bueno darse cuenta del error con la alimentación de las plantas. En mi diario he cometido el mismo error, sobrealimentar de nitrogeno las plantas. Espero se recuperen bien ✊
@Taito, Yeah its been hard without a schedule, and I probably did not research nitrogen enough in the beginning
I have seen the issue with the multigro I am using and am in the process of swopping to something with less N
@DoDrugs420, Thank you
She was definitely my most successful auto to date
I just wish I had caught the PH problems earlier...or she may have just been massive!!
But she tastes like a dream and the high can carry me all day without being sleepy
@Shooey, Too kind sir 😄
But thank you, I put in the time, made a few errors but those will be corrected next grow
It is such a good smoke, wish I could sit and share with friends but sadly covid stops that in its tracks
Just finished drying so will update dry weight and such now
@Shooey, So personally I only have one thing to compare it to and that is topping my other plant the Zkittles....
The topping of my Zkittles it was quite clear that it helped a bunch and i can see the split quite clearly and two main stems instead of one...
With this one its almost like i messed it up. But there was not really more i could cut without turning it into another topping if you get what im saying.
Time will tell this week if it actually bring me seperate top growth or what 🤷♂️
@Shooey, Thanks dude
Yeah it is a nice change from the thick living soil I had.. With more xp I will visit living soil again in the future
but for now I do like this
