Week 1
First run with this set up and my first grow in a loooong time.
The whole set up is based in a wardrobe as my partner isn't fond of this pass time so its all filters, odour neutralisers and as much hidden wiring/sound as possible.
Upside is that it's pretty well insulated so temps and humidity seem to be quiet stable in there. Anticipating needing more dehumidifying as we go.
I know running two autos in this tight space as a first isn't ideal but best way I have ever found to learn is to make more mistakes faster :D
Goal
Get at least one of these plants to Harvest, Amount ,Potency and Quality are all bonus points.
Plan for germination / seedlings
Lights:
keep the Light/Dark at 18/6.
Height will be higher for germination. It will be lowered if temps dip until seedlings come up. then I will adjust pending on temp and how strong the seedlings seem to be coming on.
water:
Keep em from drying out, light watering once-twice as needed. (not dry and not swamped)
anxiety:
Gods I hope these pop.
Day 1 8/04
Prep
Running two 4 gallon fabric pots with BioBiz light, didn't totally fill them to buy a little more head room as I'm running two in a pretty small tent.
Soaked the soil set the light low on them to bank a little warmth into it and waited a couple of hours to let the water soak through.
Now the light is about 60cm to add a little warmth seeds planted around 2x their height.
Checked water Ph out of tap its in the 6 range and theres very low treatment in this county.
we are set up as we mean to go on
Day 4 12/04
No shoots yet :( but while my anxiety climbs I know that's not unusual.
I kept an eye on the temps and humidity in the tent, had one day where the temp dipped to about 18C (midday, we are having a cold snap) but aside from that its been 22-26C with humidity staying between 58-66%.
The soil has been kept damp using an improvised watering can(in this case a wide neck plastic bottle with holes stabbed in the lid) so the water doesn't change the depth of the seeds.
Hopefully in a few more days there will be seedlings.
#Edit Hope was good got home after work, came in to water them and the Critical Lemon is sprouting. Come on Zamaldelica you can do it.
Day 6
Critical Lemon is doing well.
Shell was stuck but let it get a bit damp and some gentle work with a pair of tweezers got most of it off, a little stuck to one of the cotyledons but the first set of true leaves are already coming in so I'm not going to fuss it
Zamaldelica is still a no show.
Lessons Learnt from this week
1) I am way too anxious (and have too few seeds) to not keep a closer eye on them as they pop. Until I am more established in my set up and practice it will be sterile water on paper towel in a ziplock.
2) I will try and check the long term weather before I start. We went from high teens- low twenties to skimming above 0C. Even insulated in the wardrobe that drop in temps got steep and ment I had to make some on the fly changes and guesses to keep things going.
looks good, I'm currently growing this also. is it a slow flowering strain? im at day 40 and not even a single white hair. its like its just frozen in time.
@Boogie_Grows, Hey man, aye I've been keeping an eye on yours to see how its going as not many seem to grow it.
This grow has felt a lot like it gives little signals while slowly building up in the background before it takes its next step. I had a lot of the grow sites getting really light but no flowers, till it flipped and all sites had plenty in under a week. (either that or my out of practice arse missed things 😅)
