Here we are on my 4th grow already. I've learned so much since the beginning of the year, but feel like I'm still very much a noob.
Popped a Strawberry Nuggets seed on the 1st of the month. I let her soak in water for 36 hours, until tap root shows, and then into a rockwool cube that has been pre-soaked in ph'd water. The roots shoot out the bottom of the rockwool fairly quick, usually within a couple days, so i like to place a handfull of coco below the cube, to give the roots something to grow into. Otherwise they expose themselves to the light and sit against plastic, both of which can't be good for young roots. After 36 hours in the rockwool, sitting in a warm spot, the plant has emerged. The first day she stands up out of the rockwool is when I start counting Day 1. I prepared another coco hempy for her, conditioned it with cal mag, and put her in by Day 2.
The first week in the bucket is usually slow growth and establishing roots. So not much changes above ground, but below she's growing roots like crazy. I give her a cup of water every other day, and by end of week 1 she should be reaching the hempy reservoir.
I was a little concerned that her cotyledons were curled under the whole time, and the first set of leaves looked wonky, but I've learned from my 1st grow that the first set can often look a little weird, and the second set looks just fine.
Hey, just wanted to know, since you use nute this early. Could i do the same with canna substra? I heard i had to wait till 3rd node before using nute. If i could use nute before 3rd node would greatly improve my vegetation on my 2nd grow.
@Charles_theGrower, I've only used the canna coco line but I don't see why not. Keep the PPM's really low, like 200. When growing in coco, the only nutes available are what you give it, just start slow.
@ExtaciPT, custom light DIY from the Growmau5 youtube channel. 2 vero COB's for total of 105 watts and 2 strips of smd 5630 leds around inside of bucket.
Typical of the problems with indoor grows if you got a little larf lower down the plant. Same over here myself - still fine tuning the defo to avoid this. The haul is fantastic and this one looks to be a front runner this month dude! Very well done!👍👌
Wow 131grams inside of a Spacebucket, that is awesome! I hope I get the same result, but probably that the Mephisto genetics have to do something with it as well
