Yo community!
A friend of mine just started a Legal Grow in Germany with his roomate under my Supervision, as it is now Legal to grow in Germany.
So I thought about documenting this grow. I've been growing for long time now, but my buddy Bili is a complete newbee at this stuff.
I am positive that this "is gonna be huge".
We plan on growing 6 plants. Bili is gonna be growing 3 and his roomate also 3 plants. Of course Bili will only care for his own 3 plants and his rommate for the other 3 as it is regulated like that by law. It is Germany where everything has to be like this apparently. lol.
This grow will be 2-3 Weeks indoors 51w with low cost 3x17 Watts 4000 k LED Bulbs. (3€ each) Those produce 2500 lumens each, about 147 lm/W
1.45 l pots for the first few weeks indoors.
The plants will then go into 5l pots on the window sill until harvest. faced to the south.
So far the seeds have been placed into water over night. tomorrow we will put them into the soil.
They are all Automatics.
Day 2:
seeds soaked over night. about 16 hours. The Gelato are already opening their shells.. The others are still closed. All sinked to the bottom over night.
We are now planting them into the Soil.:)
We soaked 9 seeds. 3x O.B. 4x Kryptonite and 2x Gelato.
After cutting the dome off the lamps and counting the LED's (81) it looks like these are 0.21w SMD 31lm per LED (manufacturer says 147lm/w). for bulbs really good little LED's. looks like these are cree 2835 J series or similar types. there are cree 4000k J types that are exactly 31lm wich would be exactly what each LED should produce. (2500/81).
Plant in Soil Date was 05 june. 14:00
Today, 2 Days and 10 hours, (58 hours) after planting in soil The 2 Gelatos came to life:) and one Kryptonite
basically 3 full days including soaking time.
08.06 at 1:30 is the beginning of VEG Day one
We will give them 24 hours light.
day 5 after waterglass. Berries still no sign of life.
lamp is at 30 cm distance. no signs of stretching.
At Day 5 Veg we located the berry seeds and put them into paper towel, cracked them open and scraped the shell. we have enough plants now but nothing to choose from in case a plant has weak genes. So we hope a few berries will make it. probably old Seeds.
