I am a new to growing anything so why not start with Cannabis? I have done a lot of research well enough to make myself feel comfortable starting a Grow Tent.
For this first grow I am Using:
Vivosun GT- 48x48x80
Vivosun GL- LED VS1000, 100 WATTS
Vivosun Inlilne Fan and Carbon Filter Combo
ILGM Beginners Kit-
This Included-
20 White Widow Auto Seeds(buy 10 get 10 free)
Bergman's Plant Protection-
20ML Bug Blaster, 20ML Mold Shield, 20ML Root Protection
Bergman's Plant Food-
Seedling Stage Fertilizer, Growtime Fertilizer, Flowering Fertilizer, Plant Boosting Fertilizer.
All supplies Arrived and are set up by 03/11/22
I wasted no time germinating seeds.
I filled 3 shot glasses half way with water and placed one White Widow Auto In each glass covered with a bowl and placed in a warm place. After 24HRS I removed seeds from shot glass and placed in moist paper towel then placed back in warm dark place.
(03/13/22)
2 out of 3 Seeds germinated perfectly with little effort on my part. I placed each germinated seed in a 5 GAL pot filled with 2.5 GALS of Coco Coir.
I watered each seed with about 1L of water mixed with Bergman's Plant Food Seedling Stage Fertilizer. Then placed Pots in GT with lights about 12-14 inch above the surface of the coco coir.
I am not an experienced grower by any means this is my first grow ever. That being said I have done Lots of research and invested a good amount of money in my set up. I hope to Produce big buds and provide first hand information and details to other growers. Please feel free to give advice, ask questions(not that I have many answers but I will try to answer from experience and sources) and leave comments. All is appreciated.
Also I Downloaded and resource ILGM free grow bible. https://growbible.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/the-marijuana-grow-bible-free-original/ Click the link to get your free download!
Through out this first week I wasted no time 03/14/22 I Treated both plants with Bergman's Bug Blaster. 03/15/22 I placed a humidifier in the tent to raise humidity and also treated both plants with Bergman's Mold Control. 03/18/22 I treated both plants with Bergman's Root Protector and added both plants with 1L of water with 3Ml of Bergman's Seedling Stage 1 complete fertilizer. Water pH to 5.8.
03/19/22 I noticed the leafs on one of my plants was starting to curl up. I think it is nutrients burn and I may have added nutrients to soon. Only Water pH to 5.8 from now until I see improvement.
03/19/22 I noticed signs of nutrient burn in plant 1. Leafs are starting to curl up. I contacted a resource of mine who advised me I may have started nutrients to soon and to hold off on nutrients next time till the plant is at least a week old. In the mean time and between time I will stop nutrients and old water w/ water pH to 5.8. So I watered plant 1 and will see how she reacts.
03/20/22 I watered plant 2 with only water pH to 5.8
03/23/22 I water both plants with 1 liter of water each pH 5.8 and also topped both plants off with re-hydrated coco coir. I also added a fan to the room to add an air flow and breeze for the plants.
03/24/22 I treated both plants with Bug Blaster and Mold Control making sure pH on both liquids was 5.8
03/26/22 Watered both plants with water pH to 5.8 1 Liter of water per plant.
03/27/22 Plant one is recovering amazingly thinking of starting a little low stress training. Plant two has started to show slight signs of nutrient burn and has not grown as fast as plant one but I think I caught and corrected the problem in time.( Fingers Crossed)
03/28/22 Plant #1 is still bigger than plant #2. So I started LST on plant #1. I did this by using rope that I use for cooking to bend bigger leafs down then pinned the rope into the dirt using bobby pins. Plant one has a lot of little new growth underneath so over the next few days I plan to rotate the LST clockwise in hopes of developing all of these sights. I made sure to check on plant #1 often after starting LST. I didnt want cause to much stress and do damage. After about 24hrs I can clearly see the results of LST and Plant #1 still looks great.
03/29/22 Both plants are recovering amazingly. Plant #1 is doing great with the start of LST I can see result in just 24hrs.
4/1/22( Day19)
Both plants are looking amazing plant #2 is growing more and on 3/31/22 I started LST on plant #2!
I watered both plants yesterday(03/31/22) and they are still moist today so I will check tomorrow AM and water if necessary!
4/03/22(Day22)
Plant #1 is spreading and growing a lot everyday! Im very impressed! Tho Plant #1 is still considerable bigger than Plant#2, she is coming along in her own time.
Also today I ordered another LED light to add to my GT to insure when introducing new plants all plants continue to get enough light! I will post an update on the lights when they get here
04/08/22
Today I watered plant 1,2 with 3L of water mixed with 0.62ml of Bergmans Plant food Flowertime fertilizer and pH to 6.1
I also trimmed some of the bigger fan leaves off of both plants. More off of plant 1 since she is clearly bigger.
@Charles56love, Yeah I noticed the same about the temp of the water. i only continued to use it out of pure laziness. Next water I will make sure the water is closer to room temp, As for the pH after dealing w what I think is nutrient burn Im keeping the pH low when I water to see if that helps. Thank you for the great info Im sure I will have to tweak many more things moving forward so feel free to keep the comments coming!
