Okay so while on vacation we picked up a bit of wedding cake from a shop and my wife reminded me that it was her favorite strain. Some quick clicking on True North Seed Bank and a seed was waiting for me when I got home (as well as the free seeds, for which I chose White Widow).
Because its a bit late in the season to plant photoperiods in the greenhouse AND because we are in an all out war with spider mites, I decided to grow indoors. We have a wooden box and some lights that we use each year for our vege garden seedlings, and I have a 4" extractor fan and carbon filter that i will install later.
They will veg under the SF1000, and then after I flip them I might throw on the 2 Mars Hydro MX300s as some side/angle lighting as the SF is likely a bit small once they get rocking.
A couple hours of cleaning, sanitizing and relining the growbox with a new sheet of poly prior to hanging the lights. I have also innoculated the space with some organic insecticide, as this summer the moths, caterpillars, spider mites and other critters are just insane!
The box is a bit short, but I plan on modifying it later to make it a bit taller - last time i grew photos in this box I ran out of space. I did consider scrogging, but have been putting off making this taller for a while, so I will just do that instead.
It will also give me a good chance to give the box a good clean prior to flipping to flower, which cant be a bad thing!
Anyways, enough rambling, on with the setup...
Again, I will be going full organic on this grow. I have a pretty good soil mixture that I created in bulk a couple months ago, which i have amended with a few more goodies, including bone meal, bone meal, epsom salts, dolomite lime, egg shells, compost, worm castings, blood meal. I have put in a couple photos of the worm farm. If you are growing organically and dont have a worm farm, I highly recommend getting one. Super easy and (after a small setup cost) free fertilizer! Plus a great way to use up your kitchen scraps.
I have been dosing the soil with some fish fertilizer (yep, i love that shit) to help build my colonies.
Soaked my seeds in water for about 12 hours and then direct plant into small pots to get started. I have a heat mat which i put the pots on which seems to help them pop. They have grown well over the course of the week, and I will transplant them to their final pots in a week or so.
My plan is to then mainline these 2 girls.
I just finished a similar grow not too long ago with the same style. I wish the best on your grow and I hope it yields as much deliciousness as mine did! ๐๐
Good luck with your grow I hope you get the best taste of buds and healthy plants! Take care and stay lit! I will drop by sometimes to check on your process! Say hello if you ever visit my page!
