Day 1 this journey will be awesome!
a. placed dry seed into wet Root Riot, 440ppm nutrient blend day 1.
b. placed Root Riot into tent inside small water container and under humidity dome
Day 2 - relaxing under the humidity dome in darkness
Day 3 - seed has germinated
a. she will make her appearance in 2 days
b. looked inside root riot, the plant is already forming
c. all under the humidity dome, light in tent is 140cm away, 18 hours on, 6 off.
Day 4 - WHAT! we already have a plant!
a. the plant is out, the taproot is huge!
b. she will be a monster!
Day 5 - moved into her basket
a. the root on this lady is enormous
b. added her into the basket, humidity dome is in place, in a small container with nutrient solution pool
c. will be watering the rocks 3-4 times a day to stimulate outward root growth
d. the holes in the new net pot are really small, using scissors to open them up a bit more to allow for big roots to spread
Day 6 - all is great
a. she is growing well, the environment is nice, keeping her under the humidity dome where its 99% another day or two.
b. when the roots emerge into the temporary pool, I will transplant her to the DWC and remove the dome.
Day 7 - growing tall
a. her first leaves are starting to show
b. watering the rocks around the basket with 60-100ml water 3 times a day, the light is about 60cm away from the humidity dome
@Ganjagrandaddy, that is some real clandestine knowledge for sure! I will add it to my toolkit! Thanks a million!! (: Luckily our environment is super clean, and the humidity is dropping fast!!!!!!
@SwissKush,as crazy as it sounds , raw milk at 20% ratio to water will kill mould spores at stem level and leave no nasties after . The milk has an enzyme that forces the mould spore to replicate WITH itself and not as another cell growth so it kills the spore by sterilising its ability to take hold. It is safe and as long as you dont keep drowning them and keeping them wet with the spray , the milk does not have time to go off and create any smell nor issues . Can leave a very light mark where contact was like a coating but wont damage anything at all and is all natural. No joke at all. Milk is a growers friend and can even benefit the soil when used in the feeds too. My 1st grow here was with breast milk as a nutrient !!!!! Add bicarb and tobacco steeped water and it is a killer for any soft bodies visitors as it suffocates them by closing their airways on contsct
@Ganjagrandaddy, Thanks SO much!!! She smells incredible! Our ventilation and fans have been going non stop, as well as about 5 trips a day to the tent to air the space out, shake the plant etc. Hoping the breeders claims to resilience is true! (: Any tips are welcome (: our box is outdoors, so using a dehumidifier cannot be done like our inside tent. We used to source hanging dehumidification bags, but since covid those are gone. Luckily the airflow around everything is great.
@Blabina, thanks a million! (: I think the reason my hydroponics always work well is A. I do not use a digital PH meter, I use chemical test always, B. I use 3% H202 to rid bacteria. C. I feed my plants the ppm levels they need in hydro, never use my ppms for soil or coco, it will wreck them.
