So I'm a bit late doing this diarie lol especially as I started this plant a little over a month ago. I honestly didn't know if I was going to keep posting on this site anymore because it's not anything like it was when I first started, but it helps to keep track of dates so here I am.
So I'm FINALLY growing my first landrace strain. I had narrowed it down to 3 different strains, Acapulco Gold, Durbin posing and Maui Wowie. Then just at the beginning of September I had a company reached out to me and asked if I'd be interested in growing a strains from there partner company to possibly become one of there master growers I said sure and they sent me a list of strains. As soon as I saw Acapulco Gold at the top of the list I stopped reading lol honestly I still have no idea what other strains were on the list lol.
Seeds showed up a few weeks later and I popped one 30 mins after they arrived. Within 4 days it had sprouted and started to grow (second picture). Next day I potted it in a 4.5" pot, it had a bit of slow growth after that because I had my PAR levels on my light to high (900 umols). At about day 20 I repotted it to a 1gal pot (fourth picture) and she really started to take off. By day 26 I was able to repot her into my 3.6 gal autopot system. By then the roots were already established enough that I'd be able to activate my autotpot system but alas like always..... I'm waiting for parts..... see I decided it was time to do a minor upgrade on my system. I want to be able to run all of Green Planet Nutrients line up but you can't do that with the old 6mm valve system. Cloggs up way to often and turns it into a absolute nightmare. So I ordered the new aqua5 valve that uses a 9mm line instead and is big enough to be able to use things like carbohydrates and kelp. Just waiting for it to show up now lol. I had a slight issue between day 23 and 27 where I forgot to check the Ph of my water and noticed a few issues with my plant. Turns out I had added a bit to much Ph Down and forgot to check because when I noticed the discoloration and leaf twist I checked my Ph and it was down to 5.... way to low for coco.
For the set up, next to the new aqua5 valve is all basically the same.
- single autopot 3.6 module with airdome
- ex hale bag
- Viparspectrum xs1500
- Fusion Hut 2x3x5 tent
- 8" tower fan
- 6" clip fan
- 4" vivosun duct fan
- digiton digital temperature switch
- active air air pump
The only things that might change is the duct fan. Thinking of switch it out for a ac Infinity fan with the temperature switch controller so I can simplify everything a bit more.
Well that's all for now, happy growing everyone!!!
