To germinate I find that it works best for me to soak the seeds first in a little RO water mixed with Hydrogen Peroxide overnight and then put them in between moist paper towels in a Tupperware container. I place the container in a kitchen cabinet and wait for them to crack open. In this case the whole process took just 2 days or within a 48 hour period. Sprouted under T5 light in grow box. Part 1/3 of perpetual grow after Crystal Candy finishes in 4x2. Will transplant into 1 gallon pots in the 3x2 room.
Sometimes you can teach an old dog a new trick and sometimes that dog just needs to be kicked in the ass for being ignorant. In my case, I need a good hard swift one! OK so where do I even begin?
This has been one of the worst grow weeks ever almost neck and neck with the first time I tried to defoliate lol! Well to begin I am trying Bokashi composting for the first time and I must say that as a food it works very well in an organic grow, living soil type setup. HOWEVER, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL I EVER EVER LET IT SIT ON LEAVES EVER AGAIN!!! I was using it to water and accidentally sprayed some on the leaves. No biggie I figured, boy was I wrong!!! Even though I shook it off the leaves and tried my best to dry them without stressing the seedling it totally burnt up the foliage under the T5. But wait, there's more! Like they say shit rolls downhill. In the mad frenzy to try and save her I watered too much and had to fight an epic battle with fungus gnats!
All in all I must say that I am VERY VERY IMPRESSED with Barney's Farm and their genetics. I mean I have literally stressed this girl to the point of no return and she still bounced back! Unlike most people I want to share my mishaps as well as successes. Everyone messes up from time to time, it's what you learn that will carry on to the next grow. Happy Growing!!!
No harm no foul and a good lesson learned! She is finally shaking off last weeks accidental Bokashi shower and is recovering quite well. I have moved her from the germ box and placed her in my veg/auto tent to hang out for the next few weeks. I also transplanted her from a 4' starter pot to a 1 gallon pot filled with all sorts of goodies, mainly blood meal, neem seed meal and bath guano by Down to Earth Organics. She has done so well that I signed her up for yoga classes lol! Glad to see my little girl is finally happy! As always Happy Growing and Good Harvesting 💪
She seems to finally have settled in her new home and is growing nicely. This week I gave her a nice compost tea to drink as well as added a living mulch layer to help with regulating RH levels. Nothing else to say but Happy Growing and Good Harvesting💪
Week 5 of veg and she is really starting to take up nutrients from the soil and grow into a nice young lady! There was some slight spotting earlier this week so I gave her a nice Cal/Mag solution made from Oyster Shells that has been sitting in water along with crushed egg shells mixed with a little epsom salt, and some other goodies, Also she was given a foliar Cal/Mag feeding which she seems to have loved and is now showing no more signs of deficiencies. I have her next batch of super soil mixed and it is currently cooking for her, hopefully it will be done by next week so that I can transplant her into a 3 gallon fabric pot to hang out for a while with her companions that I currently have growing in my sprouting box. As always Grow Strong and Enjoy the Experience🙏
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, Me either...it's exciting watching other people's success/failure and learning from it...Jack Herrer was right one plant can truly heal this. world!
@Mrs_Larimar, Thank You So Much🙏 She has really started to take off in vigorous growth as you will be able to see in tomorrow's update...as soon as my soil is done cooking she will be going into a 3gal pot to hang out for a while😎 Thank You for dropping by and showing some love...Good luck with your girls and enjoy the experience👊
