As soon as I received these seeds I dropped them in a bowl of water @10am on April 30th. Planted directly into soil 7pm at sundown on the 30th. I wet the soil because it was dry. I prefer moist but settled for wet. The temperature was warm enough for germination week. The evenings were still lower 60's F, but the days warmed up above 70 ยฐF.
Night 1 it was dry with low 60's F
Day 1 we had good sunshine and low 70's F.
Day 2 We received a heavy rain in the afternoon and intermittently that night into the morning of the 3rd day (May 3) Our temps cooled off with the rain and we didn't get above 72ยฐ F.
It was a little wetter than I prefer, but our soil drained well and fastbuds genetics can handle the less than perfect condition. Two popped on May 3rd (day 3) and the last popped on May 4th (day 4).
The above listed nutrients were premixed into the soil at the listed rates per gallon of soil.
@Backtotheroots2222, I'll keep that in mind. I'd like to run a little lower ph but it's proven to be challenging to keep it below 7. That 7.6 ph well water keeps soil ph elevated.
@Backtotheroots2222, looks like the soil is holding at 6.8 ish. My water from the well is 7.6 and unless it rains that's what I use. I don't mind it running a lil high once we're in flower.
@Backtotheroots2222, it usually runs high around 7. I've been using the ferrous Sulfate to keep it down between 6.4-6.8. I'll check it tomorrow and let you know what it's running.
