Good start for this little girl.
Germinated in paper towel for around 48h and above soil within 24h
Soil is damp enough to skip the 1st 2 weeks of watering, I find it better to let the roots search for moisture as the soil dries and add tiny doses, rather than over watering, which seems to happen way too easily with my seedlings. The surface dries fast and also helps avoid the damping off that I've had some trouble with and added a sprinkle of cinnamon to help with that too.
@HirdoWeirdo, thanks, she is amazing. One of my favorites from Fastbuds, would definitely recommend trying her if you get the chance. Terps are so strong and delicious. π
Haha no, not yet. I'm not sure if you like them or not, so I'll have to post a bunch more to see. hahaa π
@SonomaSungrown, Thanks!
Haha I wish iPhone's portrait mode set my lights up and process for me :P
I'm a professional photographer and usually use 2 or 3 flashes to light my images. The first few weeks I normally only use natural light or a bounced flash.
When they flower I pretty much set up a studio and each shot is anywhere from 10 to 50 shots focus stacked.
Beautiful grow!
Question for you:
What else, if anything, are you using in your mix besides perlite and coco?
castings?
Really cool seeing someone using only FPJ FFJ and LAB.
I have dabbled a bit but never had the confidence to give it an all-knf go.
Any advice as to your inputs?
Thanks so much!
@SonomaSungrown, Thank you π
Castings, compost, a little premixed soil with lots of amendments, crushed eggshells, gypsum, rock dust, ash...
Thanks, that was my goal and was the first season I was almost 100% natural home made inputs and went better than ever.
Mainly used the Kikuyu FPJ and collected rain water for veg. I switched to FFJ too soon on some, so will wait a little longer on that.
Made aloe FPJ and added that and the LAB to some water and now and again let it sit for a day and got some yeast growing and used that. Don't let it sit longer than 2 days or it starts to go anaerobic and stink. I've also been doing more foliar feeds and that seems to be helping a lot with health and keeping pests away.
I'm still learning and just experimenting, but after this season, there is not much I will be buying to feed them anymore.
Copper Soap for WPM is about the only thing I use on my plants that I buy.
So good to see your results in low humidity and high temp. Did you take any daytime heatstress or humidity issue prevention? I'm in desert arid area with as low as 10% and now still 40 degrees and germinated fastbuds amnesia and lemon ak today.
