1999sq' Sun Powered Greenhouse Humboldt

Welcome to my grow journal documenting this year's full season organic greenhouse grow in Humboldt County, CA. Humboldt Dreams is a permitted medical grow, a one woman operation.... Me against 1999 square feet of pure sun powered bliss. (More about the greenhouse later....) This year I will be growing Blueberry Muffin by Humboldt Seed Company, Cherry Bomb by Bomb Seeds, Night Nurse by BC Bud Depot and a local version of Jack Herer full season. I will also be running a bunch of FastBuds autos starting in May. They will get their own journal. I start seeds by placing them on a wet paper towel and wrapping them in tin foil. I place the lil tin foil packets on a heating mat. I put a pad on the heating mat to make sure it doesn't get too hot. A thin phonebook works great. Make sure not to leave the packets exposed to direct light or they will overheat. Seeds typically start to show signs of life within 24-72hrs. I try to put them in to 40 48 plugs right when they first sprout. The seeds in the second picture are a little farther along than I like. I put the plugs into a tray with a dome cover near a window with a heating pad. I put a t5 light over them for 18 hrs a day for a few weeks. I only water them with pure water until they are at least an inch tall. Sometimes taller. I wait until the stems have a little bulk to them and are not as fragile. My water is supplied by a spring. I use a digital PH meter before EVERY WATER. Springs are subject to seasonal PH fluctuations. My water tends to stay between 6.2 and 6.5 PH which is just a little on the acidic side.... which is what cannabis prefers! If your water is out of whack, you can use a PH Up or PH Down product or tweak the PH. There are also organic things you can use like lemon juice.
