Welcome back to yet another grow. On the menu today we have some monster mash from exotic seeds, I'm quite curious about this strain, and interested to see what happens with them. Soaked the seeds in a jar of water in the dark at 75 degrees for 20 hours, then planted in 3 gal smart pots filled with promix HP. I sprayed with water every day, they sprouted 2 days after being planted. I installed a spider farmer sp2000 for this grow, and I have been playing around with the height and power to try and get the best light, and temperature, I've got her at 27 inches above plants and running 25% power.....its a very bright light in a 3x3, which is awesome. I'm giving small amounts of ph'd water as needed in a small radius around the seedlings, as they grow I will be expanding the watering radius and amount until they are ready for the normal runoff waterings and feedings. I'll start a weak nutrient solution around day 11 or so, depending on how she looks. Good starting week, seedlings are a tiny bit behind for a week old due to the fact that my temps were around 68 for a part of the week, but they are growing steadily now. Humidity is at 65%, I'll drop it to 60 once they get a few sets of nice leaves on them. Well thats it for now, until next week....Puff,Puff,Pass
Looking good mate, I think you may have an issue similar to mine, looks like a little too much N causing the cal mag to lock out careful with the calmag as it can contain N.
Sorry for the unsolicited advice, I hope its helpful. Good luck with the rest of your grow ๐๐
@InspireMe,That may be a possibility, I'm using a bloom nutrients for the entire grow, which is low in N, however they started showing pistils at 2 weeks so its possible the N requirement of the plants was quite low after flowering began and maybe a little too much N built up in the medium due to not enough run off during watering. Increasing calcium did make a difference, runoff ph was good. All in all I'm thinking its due to the lower nutrient requirement and early flowering characteristics of this particular strain. I did have a similar thing occur with another early flowering auto strain. It will be interesting to see if the increased runoff makes a difference on the next grow. Thanks for sharing your experience and happy growing.
@Growurownseed, Thanks! I use maxi gro during veg, half gro and half bloom for the first 3 weeks of flower, and then all bloom for the rest of flower. In 2.5 years I've only had to buy 3 small bags of bloom, lasts a long time, fairly cheap, and gets results. Add a good cal-mag like ROOTS and thats really all you need, screw spending hundreds of dollars on nutes, when you really don't need to. Happy growing bro.
