Glookies

8/5-8/11 8/5/23: 5/5 Barney’s Farm Glookies seeds popped. Nice. I’ll be growing two of them. This will hopefully be a very low touch grow. If all goes as planned, I’ll only need to add water to a 5-gallon bucket reservoir about once a week. The 3x2 tent will be crowded, so I’ll have to do some training and pruning. I’m starting the seeds in jiffy pellets. 8/9/23: Today I moved the seedlings into their starter pots. I filled the pots with the coco/perlite/castings mix. I moistened the medium and Jiffy pots with pH 5.9 water. Then I transplanted into small, disposable fabric pots as recommended by the Coco for Cannabis method. The tent is holding at a steady 77F and 60RH (without any interference from me--I don't even have the exhaust on yet because I'm waiting for a filter to be delivered). Light: 16hrs x 250PPFD = 14.40 DLI. Some other tidbits: I put a few granules of Dynomyco into three of the five Jiffy pots. No noticeable difference between any of the seedlings at this point. Instead of doing the risky paper towel germination method, I simply soaked the seeds in water for 12 hours, then dropped them into the pellets with a random orientation. All of the seeds popped within 12 hours of one another and all of them are at the same point in their development. I think "seed orientation" in the soil matters very little. It's super risky to pluck a tiny, wet seed from a paper towel and place it root down in the soil with tweezers. I'm not going to do the paper towel method again--little benefit, large risks. I will use the Jiffy pellets again. They worked great. I even easily trimmed off the little decomposable bag that it comes wrapped in to free up the roots a little more. Here are are the products I’m using for this grow.
