Always my tried and true. Saturate soil 48hrs before dropping seed first knuckle deep, lightly cover hole and mist soil surface til damp. Anxiously await for day 4 to see my little ladies(always on day 4, every time).
I’m trying new soil this grow. One smart pot has my original choice FoxFarm Happy Frog. The second has Aurora Innovations Roots Organics Original Soil. I did mix two handfuls into the FoxFarm pot as I was just a little shy on the sack.
I chose to try new soil as I tended to have minor drainage issues(oops) with some pots last grow and wanted to introduce a little more air this time. While doing research I came across Roots Organics Original by researching organic soil recipes. Everything I wanted and they did the dirty work of digging, composting, collecting, mixing and bagging. I’m prepared to start feeding as soon as they ask with Buddha Grow, HPK, Buddha Bloom and Bud Candy.
Didn’t do much but control the environment the best I could. It’s tough with the surrounding room to keep things steady as that room is always to hot or to cold and never a sweet spot.
Misted the soil a few times a day while the lights were on. Gave .5L distilled water day 7. I’ll give the one its first light feeding of Buddha Grow tomorrow and let the FoxFarm pot go til pre-flower like last grow. I’ll start giving .5L every day to the RO pot and .5L every other day to FF pot.
Idk what to say. The day after starting the journal I wasn’t able to check on the girls for almost 48hrs. I know this was going to/could be an issue….it was and I’m sad to say when I arrived it was 52*F and 88% RH inside the tent. I left the AC on by mistake. The girls were hurting for sure. Some leaves browned and yellowed, all the plants shriveled up and I was ready to toss them I felt so bad. I slowly stabilized them back to 78*F 67% RH over 36hrs and the color started coming back and they started to stand at attention. I was hopeful to say the least.
Just as they started doing better e we got hit with a snow storm and I was moving. Again they took a back seat. This time the heat and humidity was pretty stable but no light, water or nutes for 4 days. I was ready to really get rid of them now and had the bags ready to go and said you know what, let’s see how resilient they are, will they make it abs if they do, what will they produce…I’m curious now because I hurt then the most when it really matters. I just tied a few branches down. That’s all. Didn’t want to stress then any more so let’s all hope for the best.
Man am I lucky. Now if I can just stay put and take care of my kids like a good parent they will blossom for sure. They are bouncing back nicely.
The FoxFarm Grow I accidentally fed nutes to once, she didn’t like it. She drinking zero water and loves it.
I’m very pleased with the way the girls are growing. I was so close to giving up and they sure are making me proud. I’m trying my best to do LST and light defoliation without causing further problems but I’m thinking within a few days I’m going to be very pleased at the progress.
*I’m now feeding the FoxFarm bag on the schedule with the other.
So after bouncing back the girls were looking great, then as luck would have it, I got hit with some form of COVID 🤕🤒😷. On top of that, the first day of feeling the effects, we got hit with a decent storm that brought 8” snow. Awesome for someone who snowmobiles, ATV etc. not great for someone who feels like they 😮💨 a pound of the finest and 7-10 Long Islands…did I mention I do snow removal as a hustle. Imagine I was at some points hallucinating, feeling like the earth was on the tip of a needle, rotating on a gyro as I walked and shoveled and snow blow this way. Needless to say when I didn’t shovel I slept and when I couldn’t sleep I tossed and turned. Hours seemed like minutes, minutes turned to days. These two girls sadly passed away 😪.
