Hello GD,
This is a photo seed I had for almost 2 years and decided to pop her and another seed I’ve had for awhile and do a photo SCROG run. This will be my first attempt at SCROG so I will be topping, defoliating, etc and definitely learning along the way. The strain is Lemon Shining Silver Haze; aka Lemon Haze from the crew over at RQS. I wanted an all Haze run as I need some Sativa in my life! I am running 5 gallon air pots / FF Coco Loco soil with 10% extra perlite, 10% extra earthworm castings, 10% extra bat guano.
-AgroBrite T5 4ft / 4 tube grow light (1 bulb=54 watts) 216 Watts- Veg / KIND K3 L450 grow light Flowering on a light rail
-3.5ft x 4ft grow area, using most of it
-Fox Farm Coco Loco soil
-Greenleaf Nutrients (Mega Crop)
*16 July I put the seed into a small cup of pH’d water @ 1400 (2pm).
*17 July I took them out of the water after they sank overnight at 0800 (8am) and put it into a wet paper towel and put it in between 2 small plastic plates and placed it under my bathroom sink checking on it every few hours. @ 1300 (1pm), she popped and I put her into soil inside of a Jiffy pot with a DIY RH dome. I watered the pot at a pH of 6.0 and kept that in my spray bottle. I placed the pot under my T5 4 bulb light system with just 1 bulb installed. The bulb is 54W @ 6400 Kel. I love this light for vegging, I can keep it close for tight node spacing.
*20 July, The seed popped overnight into the morning time. I am keeping the light right off the top of the dome as to create more humidity inside. I will keep the water between 5.9 - 6.0 all week with nothing to feed them as they are getting it from the soil.
*23 July, Fast forward a couple days. I moved this lady into the garage with higher RH. I couldn’t keep her in the same room as my flower tent because my RH is stable at 55% in there. It’s hot out there, but it’s a higher RH which I can go for. I want to try to control the stretching on her as much as possible. I did a mini transplant into 1 liter square containers that I feel more comfortable with using for this girl. I gave her soil a nice drench with Mykos WP.
*24 July, after the mini transplant, she is up praying to the light. I didn’t water her as her soil is still wet. I have a fan on her to strengthen her stalk up.
