This grow is from 2 year old seeds i got from good weed i bought (great price) when i was low on spending money, sealed all seeds in air tight container as soon as i found them. Soaked 8 seeds overnight in filtered water on 10-3. 10-4 put seeds on a small plate between a folded paper towel moistened with filtered water. 7 Seeds had good root growth by 10-6. I used 3 parts Miracle Grow Spagnum peat moss, 2 parts M.G. perlite, 1 part Sta-Green (Lowe's) vermiculite as a rooting medium. I have used this many times and it promotes rapid growth. On 10-6 I planted 7 sprouts in 12oz. foam cups with holes poked in bottom. All broke the surface by 10-9 and took off. 6 23watt cfls, as light for seedlings, for the first ten days.
About 2 to 3 months before planting the seeds I mixed peat moss with potting soil that I screened with a 1/4 in. screen, with blood meal, bone meal, perlite and vermiculite. After a few days in the foam cups, the plants needed more root room. I put them in 1 gallon pots with the mix I just described. The idea is to not have to give many nutes for the first few weeks just CalMag.
Growing well. Put up 1 180w 100 piece led. On 10-29 put them in 3 gallon fabric pots (1 in a 5 gal. with the top trimmed off ). Added 1 220w c.o.b. led the same day for coverage. Two of the plants are looking sativa dominant and growing tall so I topped them on the 29th and bent and tucked all fan leafs on all plants to expose the lower growth to the light. All the plants responded well and looked great the next day. pic 10-29:pic 10-30 (sorry for the led purple pic, I didn't plan on doing a diary but it is going better than I expected)
Growing well. Swithed lights to 12/12 on 11-1. The plants were fed nutrients on 10-5 to try and promote pre flower formation. Planing on putting a biger tent in this one's place 31"×60"80"_12.92 sq. ft.- 1.2 sq. m_80cm'150cm'200cm is the size of the new one. 2'×4'×5' is what I started in.Will also add a 600w dimmable hps(on 400w setting) and keep the more powerful led.
Feeding every other watering. Not many pics. One by one the 4 males revealed themselves. One female showed flowers 11-13 (the one I left alone) and the other female showed on 11-18 (l.s.t.). Now comes the fun part. On Christmas morning I will wake to a shiny tent filled with a forest of mini sparkling trees, grown by me!
Tent replaced by a larger one(31"×60"×80"-12.92 sq. ft.) The plants look so small in the larger tent but will soon fill it. The 2 female plants that are left are doing well. One is low stress trained and the other was left to grow. I have never used a hid light before and wanted to see how well a 600w hps does at light penitration compared to led. better I hope.
Things are well, good growth. more care and more weeks are needed. tring to deal with a heat issue. vent the hps, problem solved. I put no grow nutrients and fed the same scedule otherwise.
