Seeds arrived today ,
I brought x1 gorilla cookies auto x3 zkittlez auto and got x1 cake batter auto & Afghan cheese by the bakery seed co
I have chosen to do 2 diaries ,
One of the Gorilla cookies and one of the zkittlez
I have placed both seeds in a cup of water each and out in a dark place for 24hours ,
I will then transfer to paper towel for another 24
Update 18/2/23 -
Check on the seeds this morning (12 hours after putting in cup of water ) the Gorilla cookies has sunk and on inspection the shell has split and can see the tap root starting to show
I have transferred to a paper towel and moisture, I have also wrapped it in cling film to keep humidity & warmth at a better level as it’s still a little chilly her in the UK.
All seems to be going well so far but I know it’s early days as yet ,
100% successful germination rate
(Altought I only germinated the one seed)
Planted at 10am Sunday morning with a small amount of just water and left it in the dark ,
Next morning I checked on her and she was there waiting for me to see her !
I decided to run the light cycle from then which is 18/6 (off at midnight and back on at 6am)
The next couple of days I just let it do it’s thing just checking up on her every so often and giving a slight misting on the top soul with a sprayer a just water
Today is Sunday so tomorrow is the 1st week over and the start off week 2 !
I have just given her a watering with a very small dose of bytes to see how see reacts and hopefully kickstarts her 2nd week.
I only added 1/4 of the recommended dose for a plant at this stage just because I don’t want to burn her and fox farms can be pretty hot from my research so I’m just being careful, I won’t bother feeding her now for another 4-5days but next feed will be with just water
Haven’t had much of a chance to take many pics this week but progress is gaining good momentum,
My temp & humidity meter finally turned up after getting the run around from the supplier so now I can keep an eye on them crucial environment conditions
Immediately the temp was way high and not enough airflow so I changed my 6” fan for a tower unit and added a cold air feed direct to the lighting fans from outside which seems to keep them temps down , I’m now seeing 24-25 degrees Celsius day time drops to 22-21 in the 6 hour dark period,
Humidity fluctuates from 60-72% but since opening a vent hatch on tent it seems to maintain at 60%
After last weeks feed I left it for about 4-5dqys until pot was light and soil was dry on top about 2 inch down ,
So I made another gallon of water mixed with 15ml big bloom and 5ml grow big , lol how is half the recommended dose ,
I will next do a plain water feed and the will do the full recommend dose according to foxfarms.
She has a very fuel & lime smell if you gently rub the stalk and leaf’s.
I think progress is doing well and I’m having fun !
Will update next Sunday !
Not much to say this week , she’s doing really well, last week I noticed which seemed to be nute burn she didn’t like the 1/2 dose of bites so I’ll go back to 1/4 dose on next feed but last feed I just gave her plain water which was on the 8th,
She’s due a feed tomorrow going by the soil and the days since last water ,
I have also done some defoliation today , removed some of the larger fan leaves which was blocking the lower foliage,
I only removed four leaves don’t want to stress her to much ,
Will up date next Sunday !
