The beginning of a new grow is always filled with excitement - but along that excitement comes the responsibility to prepare properly to give your seed the best possible chance.
Day 0 - Today I dropped a Green Gelato Seed into a glass of water where she will stay for 24 hours.
I prepared my Coco Coir by rehydrating the dried Coco and rinsing off any of the Coco Pete that will cause the Coco to retain too much moisture.
The rinsing process is time consuming but if done right you'll have a substrate that drains perfectly without holding onto any extra moisture.
Finally, I buffered my the Coco with a 150% strength CalMag buffer. This would be 150ml/L in my case.
In total I will do two 8 hour buffers. Refreshing the CalMag mixture after the first 8 hours.
Day 6 - She's popped her head out today! So excited for the next 3 months!
Day 7 - I've prepared the tent today she'll be moving into her controlled environment tonight.
I've never seen this substrate method before, it is very interesting and is giving me good ideas. Thank you for sharing on here. Best of luck on your grow!
Good luck with the Green Gelato man! It was my first plant and it came out wonderful, 124g, very productive. I also did a pretty detailed diary about the growing process, feel free to check it out! Enjoy!
