This is my first time with germinating in a glass of water, my past times have been with paper towel. Its now been 24 hours water is a bit cloudy no seeds popped as of 9am. The 2nd day I switched to paper towel and now 3rd day they all popped and have planted them in Happy frog Foxfarm soil with a sprinkle of Great white with a tiny amount of water at ph 6.1. Now the distance of the light to the seedlings is another matter.😐
I now have my seedlings in solo cups and they are just breaking the surface, what is the height I should have my T5 twin lamps from the top of the cups? I have it currently at about 4 inches from the top of the cups.
Placed girls in 4x4 tent with veg light cycle at 36 in from top of plants. 18/6 light cycle. Using sandwich baggies for added humidity until girls are a couple weeks old. I take them off each day to refresh the oxygen. I currently use a spray mister for watering the girls until they are old enough to water directly into solo cup. Zep spray bottle is a excellent spray mister for the plants. I also have a heat mat set to 76° under my tray.
I think I messed up the weekly icon because it shows two Germination icons....i'm learning...😃😳
Plants doing well so far, I use a humidity dome with an AC Infinity T6 fan for air flow and a 8in intake fan to bring fresh air in. I will let these plants grow another few set of leaves and then transplant to 5 gal fabric pots and move to my deck these will grow outside for the duration of their auto cycle life. I do have 3 photo period Blueberry that will join them. I will begin small amount of nutrients when I transplant them. i will use Superthrive and Great White or Recharge during the transplant stage. Fingers crossed!
The girls are now 3 weeks old and have 4 sets of leaves, I have transplanted them today to one gal fabric pots using Happy Frog soil and Great White for the roots. I feed them one gallon food between the 6 pots using Grow Big and Super Thrive. I am going to introduce them to outside nature in a few days when the temps come down from the 90s. I will place them on my deck which has a northern exposure so it will not be 100% sun all day. I will have to monitor their moisture daily and water accordingly and be easy on nutrients due to the hot weather. Two Girl Scout Ex stream Autos, Two Northern Lights, Autos and Two Blueberry Photo period make up my batch.
@spyder, Para férias o Algarve e muito bom ✌️ Eu sou da zona de Lisboa mas também faço férias no Algarve. Muitas praias boas. Mas cuidado com a polícia 👮♀️
@Grow3rPT, I actually looked at retiring in the southern part of Portugal in Algarve, I believe it was called...great weather there...we were thinking of a holiday there to check it out,,but covid hit and that ended that..lol
@rcs8718, Parece que muito coisa deve ter mudado em tantos anos. Eu estou aprender, mas quero aprender um pouco de todas as técnicas. 1 cultivo está a ser apenas uma aprendizagem
@Grow3rPT, Thank you for the having a look, I am a old timer but trying to catch on to this new type of growing for me. I grew back in the early 70s but nothing like today's type of growing...it is fun and rewarding....
@homerjgangiagangia, thank you its a new adventure for me. I grew back in the late 60s early 70s but not like today's growing, I am glad I was decent in science and chemistry classes back then...lol😃
@Grow3rPT, Thank you, I am just a newbie on this new growing process, trying to read and remember and keeping notes. My first grow with 4 plants last fall was bad...I misread a nutrient label as being a tablespoon and should have been a teaspoon...I figured it out when I was putting my notes in my journal and then ended up pulling my 4 plants out of the soil and re transplanting them along with flushing....
Yea it was a error I will not soon forget...l...Live and learn...😃 Oh and plants did survive my mistake...just took longer than usual for them to bounce back..
