Basic Closet Setup. Viparspectra P2000 (200W) Light. Viparspectra 24" x 48" x 60" Tent. TerraBloom 4" Exhaust Fan w/speed control. 6" Clip on fan for cooling light/driver, 4" carbon filtered fan for the bottom of the tent. Basic 24 Hour Timer for light.
Soil & Nutrients: FoxFarm Happy Frog (4 CU FT) soil. FoxFarm Bushdoctor Kangaroots Root Drench, FoxFarm Big Bloom, FoxFarm Grow Big, FoxFarm Tiger Bloom.
Seeds: Dank Seeds, 1-Blue Dream Fem. 1-Purple Punch Fem. Soaking for 12-15 hours in plane water in the dark on a heating pad @ 81F then placed in a paper towel until root is 1/4" - 1/2", then placed into 4" plastic pot's in Happy Frog until final transplant into 7 Gal fabric pots to finish.
NOTE: Pictures are taken every 24 hours @ 8:30PM.
EDIT: SEP-05-2021. I cracked these seed's by soaking them (SEP-01-2021 @ 10:33PM) for 18-24 hours in water, I then placed them (SEP-02-2021 @ 11:33PM) between two 100% cotton pads lightly dampened & placed in a baggie on a heating pad @ 83F-85F until the roots were 1/4"-1/2" long. Once the roots were the "proper length" (SEP-03-2021 @ 6:40PM) I placed them both in their pots & covered them with just a dusting of soil & lightly watered them in, I then placed the baggie's over them to act as a greenhouse until I see the seedling push through the soil, I then remove the bag(s). The light is currently set at 25% power & 24" from the top of the pots, I'll continue to increase the power once they start producing full sets of true leaves.
UPDATE: SEP-05-2021-DAY 1
Both seeds made their appearance at approximately 4:20 AM today, yeah, I know.. it just happen to be the time when I checked them! lol Both are now getting 45% power from the Viparspectra P2000, I'll continue to increase the light over the next few days as the plants add true sets of leaves.
UPDATE: SEP-07-2021-DAY 2. Plants are coming along as expected..
I think DAY 3 got FU*K AS HIGH & left.. anybody seen, DAY 3 anywhere?!?
UPDATE: SEP-08-2021-DAY 4. Gave the plants their first feeding with Fox Farm Bushdoctor Kangaroots ROOT DRENCH pH @ 6.32. The blue Dream is just a little taller than the Purple Punch, I'll be turning the light up from 45% to 65% as soon as the first set of true leaves (set of 3) start to fill out.
UPDATE: SEP-09-2021-DAY 5. Both plants seem to be doing well.. the Purple Punch is still chasing the Blue Dream! I turned the light up to from 45% to 50% today about halfway through the days grow cycle, curious to see if the Purple Punch just needs more light, or if she's just a shorter genetic!?
Update Sep-10-2021-DAY 6. Plants are starting to develop their first true set of leaves & are doing well as expected.
UPDATE: SEP-11-2021-DAY 7. Gave both plants a small drink of the FoxFarm Root Drench today, nothing special to report.
SEP-12-2021: Week 2 - Day 08. Plants are doing well and will be going into vigorous vegetative growth in the next few days/weeks.. I just love watching the little wonders grow!!
SEP-13-2021: Week 2 - Day 09. Not much to report, I plan to water some time tomorrow with just plain pH balanced (6.5) water.
SEP-14-2021: Week 2 - Day 10. Fed both plants with FoxFarm Kangaroots @ 6.3 pH, I'll continue to increase the wattage on the VIPARSPECTRA P1000 from 50% to 65%+ as the plants continue to develop.
SEP-15-2021: Week 2, Day 11. Plants are coming along nicely.. I'm going to turn the light up from, 50% to 70% tomorrow, I'm excited to see what these do as they grow & as the light output increases!?
SEP-16-2021: Week 2, Day 12. Gave both plants a drink of 6.3 pH Root Drench, both plants are starting to develop branches, the Blue Dream is just a little ahead of the Purple Punch. I also turned the VIPARSPECTRA P2000 up to 70% power.
SEP-17-2021: Week 2, Day 13. Both plants are developing nicely & are about where they should be at this point.
SEP-18-2021: Week 2, Day 14. Gave both plants a drink of Kangaroots pH 6.3.
SEP-19-2021: Week 3, Day 15. Plants have developed a layer of Mycorrhizae on the surface of the soil, they seem to be thriving & are needing watered every other day.
SEP-20-2021: Week 3, Day 16. Opened the tent to find things drooping & in need of a drink, both got the usual drink of Fox Farm Kangaroots pH @ 6.3.
SEP-21-2021: Week 3, Day 17. Not much to report.. plants are doing well & are growing like crazy.
SEP-22-2021: Week 3, Day 18. I think a combination of poor pHed water & to much Kangaroots has caused a bit of nutrient lockout, I'm going to flush on next watering with 6.5 pH & wait.. I did note some slight yellowing on a lower set of leaves on the Blue Dream!?
SEP-23-2021: Week 3, Day 19. I took a closer look at the plant(s), I think they may be suffering from a slight over watering.. the leaves have drooped, curled down & are twisting, all signs I've made a "rookie" mistake! lol Going to let them both dry down & water with 6.5 pH water & monitor them for the next few days.
SEP-24-2021: Week 3, Day 20. I went ahead & transplanted both plants today, both were put in 7 gal fabric pots, not sure if the plants are in need of nutrients or if something else is going on.. I think it may be a CalMag issue!? I watered them with 6.53 pH water, both plants have well formed roots, the Purple Punch has the slight edge here though.. the roots are thick & white & were starting to wrap around the inside of it's pot!
SEP-25-2021: Week 3, Day 21. Well, after going back & forth on the issue, I've settled on a Nitrogen deficiency.. stunted growth, yellowing/lime green coloring to the plant(s) & drooping! Just a day after transplanting them, they have both perked back up and look to be doing okay again.. I plan to feed them some Fox Farm, Big Bloom & Grow Big the next time they dry out. This is what being lazy with your garden looks like!! <-- BAD GROWER, BAD!! LOL
SEP-26-2021: Week 4, Day 22. Now that I've gotten the plants in their final pots (7 Gal Fabric) I went ahead & topped them @ their 6th node, this should give me enough to fill my little 2'x2'x4' tent! I did note that both plants have 9 sets of leaves, I recently read that having more than 7 leaves was a sign of a healthy plant.. not sure if this is true, or just genetics!? Going to feed them tomorrow morning with Fox Farm Big Bloom & Grow Big.
SEP-27-2021: Week 4, Day 23. Gave both plants a feeding of Fox Farm Big Bloom & Grow Big pH @ 6.5. The Blue Dream has developed leaves with 9 leaflets & the Purple Punch has developed 11 leaflets.. you'll be able to see them better in a couple of days once the plant resumes regular growth!
SEP-28-2021: Week 4, Day 24. Plants seem to be growing again after transplanting, going to have to take better care of them from here on out!
SEP-29-2021: Week 4, Day 25. Both plants are doing well, I'll be watering them tomorrow with plain 6.5 pH water.

OCT-05-2021: Week 5, Day 31. Today I removed the final set of fan leaves on both plants to let more light hit the lower branches, I'm going to wait a few days & once the branches get just a little longer, I'll start training them with gardening plant ties.

OCT-24-2021: Week 7, Day 50. Last day of week 7, I repositioned the ties & have decided to flip them to flower on day 56 (Sat, OCT-30-2021) & continue LST & see what happens!?

I'm planning to make me a "P3000"! lol If they line up end to end (I think they will) I'm going to bolt them together with the adjustment knob's facing out @ either end.
