9/6 Biochar/EWC/Hydroton mixture created in 5-gal bucket. Bucket was put in the basement with a lid on top.
9/24 Mixed up the coco, perlite, and charged Biochar/EWC/Hydroton. Added Azomite, Glacial rock dust, DE, Oyster shell. Took 2 solo cups worth of that mix out for seed starting. Neem seed meal, Bat guano, Langbeinite, Gaia green premix added to the remainder after that. This will cook for 1-2 weeks.
10/1 Seeds put in water.
10/2 Soil put in 5 gal pots and solo cup emptied into formed hole in center for seed starting. Seeds added to the starter soil in the center, light set low to about 150 PAR. Humidity domes added. Soil was saturated, probably too wet.
10/5 First signs of seedlings, only just poking out.
*10/6 Both have sprouted and look good. After reading Mephisto’s grow guide and seeing they mostly use 24/0 light schedule I made the change to 20/4 from 18/6, 2am-6am. Adjusted PAR to about 200.
10/7 Removed humidity domes, tweaked fan to get a little airflow on them.
10/9 The furnace is shitting the bed which means I must adjust for cold temps at night. Raised the light higher and turned the dimmer up higher to hopefully create more heat, new PAR setting of 225. Moved light to full 24 hours on to also create more heat, as well as pointing a fan at the top of the light to send warm air down to the seedlings.
Haha, I’m reading your light schedule and adjustments back and forth. Laughing because that sounds like me. Constantly adjusting my lights. Optimization is what I call it. Your girls look great. I’m growing this strain on my next run, probably within a couple weeks.
Saw your note about the temp, they should be good to get pretty cold. Another of my concerns. Good luck with your grow. Take care
@@StinkyBudz, the light schedule changes was me trying everything I could to keep the temperature stable during the night. It did get down to the low 60s for those few nights but not any lower thankfully. Almost kept them at full 24 hours even after I fixed the furnace but that schedule just seems too unnatural.
The PAR changes are by design though. I'll be slowly turning up the intensity every few days until I finally hit about 700-800 or so. Really trying to emphasize slow and steady.
Looking good. I have a 3 pack on the way of Sour Stomper. Watching your grow. I saw you topped, I don’t think I will this round. I want to see your LST. Good luck on your grow. Happy harvest. Hope your buds are some StinkyBudz
@@StinkyBudz, I haven't topped and likely won't for these 2. The plan is to eventually LST, lollipop, and do general defoliation once the time is right.
@nerdz, Thanks for that. Yeah I wish I could have let them go longer but they weren't doing hot. The weed I did get though is pretty great, which was shocking. I'll do the harvest report soon now that it's been curing for a few weeks.
