Northern GirlScouts make Express Cookies

Hi everyone ! this is my first time with a GrowDiary, so I hope it lives up to your expectations. Lets start with the setup... this is an indoor we just finished putting together with a group of friends. Its goal, before all things, is to maximize the comfort of our girls, so that their short lives on this Earth will be the most pleasant possible and they reward us with big and tasty buds 😀 GROWING SPACE, SUBSTRATE AND NUTRIENTS - 1.0 x 1.0 x 2.0 meters Piranha Grow Tent - 300 cc. Plastic Pots for germination and 20 L. "ProPot Active Fabric" pots for growing. - Canna Terra Professional and all of the "Terra" product line (Terra, Flores, Rhizotonic, Cannazym, PK 13/14 and Boost). ILUMINATION MaxiLight high performance cool tube with 600W HPS bulb for both vegetation and flowering stage. This combination of light and cool tube lets us take full advantage of our indoor, we are planning to grow at least 6 plants each time, so in this way, the girls won't be fighting each other to get more light. Also, the possibility of connecting our extractor to the light allows us to drop a few degrees on heat. VENTILATION - 150mm (460m3) In-Line "Vent" Centrifugal Extractor located in the top of the tent, connected to the cooltube. - 100mm (320m3) "Kasvi" Plastic Extractor (for helping air in) located in the bottom of the tent. - 150mm (540m3) "Vanguard Hydroponics" Carbon Air Filter located in the top of the tent, connected to the cooltube on the other side of extractor. All of these are connected by fully insulated air ducts to reduce noise. We also have four 6' Clip Fan of 15W to help move the air inside. MISC. - Ultrasonic 5.2L humidifier - Thermo-hygrometer to measure temperature and air moisture. - Parrot’s Flower Power to measure soil moisture, amount of light, temperature and soil conductivity. - "Wassertech" PH meter and EC meter to measure water's indices. STRAINS Well, I love FastBuds, so I decided to try growing all of their varieties, two at a time. These are the first lucky autos on growing in this crazy journey... 4 Northern Express and 4 Girl Scout Cookies 😃. So... GERMINATION We submerged the small pots filled with soil into water with nutrients, we let them drain and we put the seeds directly into the soil, about 1 centimeter deep. Then we left them on top of their future home, just to have the tent in its final distribution. Every other day, we switch the pots forwards and rightwards to ensure they receive the same amount of everything evenly. Hope you enjoy the journey with us! --------------- o --------------- Day 4 update: Yesterday the girls beated the soil ! We're very happy that all made it, but one Northern Express seems to have problems to grow, we'll be monitoring her very often to encourage her pulling through. Anyway, we put another GirlScout Cookie on germination just in case our girl doesn't make it... If both grow successfully, I think I'll make them compete for the spot XD Today was the first time we spray them, just nearly 20cc of water with nutrients each pot. C'ya on friday! --------------- o --------------- Day 7 update: Hello everyone! Today was a big day. We transplanted all our girls into their final home and started feeding them heavily (2.5L to each pot). Sadly, the once troubled Northern Express isn't with us any longer 😢 but in her place, a new Girl Scout Cookies is waiting to be born so we all have hope on her coming to live with her bigger sisters. The current count is 5 Girl Scout Cookies and 3 Northern Express. Hope you enjoy the rest of the weeks with us! C'ya
