13/8/2023 โ AM Soaked seeds in PH 7.0 water for around 12 hours on heating mat set to 86C. Seeds noted to sink with swirling of water and were transferred to moist paper towels for 24 hours on plates. Paper towels were folded into thirds then on itself.
15/8/2023 โ Checked 1.5 days later and paper towels were noted to dry out! ***should check every 12 hours, do not start seeds unless you have time to check every 12 hours*** S
16/8/2024 โ Paper towels noted to dry out again! Transfered to Root Riot cubes.
17/8/2024 - BD sprouted. Lights to 40%, 56cm.
18/8/2024 - SD sprouted. Germination complete.
Beautiful looking plants!๐๐๐ฝ They looks super healthy and the growth rate is perfect!
Was looking at your dairy since day one, love your detailed explanation!
We share similar grow style๐ฝ
Was wondering how do you like the dualpart series form terra aquatica?, I use their tripart for some time now.. Wondering if it'll be easier to use the 2 part one
Good luck and have fun growing brother ๐ฑ
@1_Plant_Wonder,
Thanks again for your kind works of support, much appreciated as a new grower. These two have been an amazing experice to date!
I have used both the tri-part and dual part coco now on two grows; The 3 vs 2 bottles does simplify the process and I am likely to purchase the dual part coco again when these bottles run out. With my water and autos I run ~40% strength nutrients at ~1200 EC using the dual part coco.
I had also considered the Canna line as they are also a two bottle setup and there are some examples of sucessful plants with Canna.
Been following along with your Purple Punch as it is on the list to grow in the near future...
Take care and enjoy the journey! ๐
@SwissKush,
I am hoping for some face melting! ๐ต๐ Thanks for the feedback, I still cannot believe they are mine! They smell great.....getting closer.
Plants looking fantastic!๐๐ฝ
Once most trichomes becomes cloudy, it won't be long before the amber starts to appear, and then flushing, so if you think you're a week /week and a half before that stage, start with final part;)
(Usually terra recommend 10 days of final part before flushing, but with autos everything is faster, so a good week of final part will do to my opinion)
But MY question is, would you continue using Calmag along with finalpart? Or not..? That I truly don't know๐
Good luck! ๐
@1_Plant_Wonder,
I think the Sour Diesel is ~2wks from finishing based on other diaries with coco/ hydro/similar size. I was thinking FinalPart for 12 days and then 2 day FlashClean followed by ~ 2 days of water flush to run-off EC the # escapes me, but based on cocoforcannibas recommendations.
Good question on the CalMag and FinalPart. Both plants have minor rust spots. TA on the Coco formulas suggest no additional CalMag is needed, and I think FinalPart would be the same. My experience is even buffered coco with a specific coco fertilizer formula still needs CalMag added to any water you use to dilute to get your EC. Now with FinalPart you are basically just feeding bloom nutrients. Would not adding CalMag block some other needed micro nutrient during the final 2 weeks of flower? I don't know, but someone on the forum would perhaps. For now since there is already some signs I was planning to add it to the next feritgation with any water used to dilute to EC. I was thinking I could always fade it over the next week or so.
There are a few trichome pictures of SD at end of week 10. Mostly cloudy and some clear. I will grab some more photos with the USB microscope camera tomorrow. It is a challenge to get good photos..
@Hix57,
Thank you for your kind words. I did not realize how large she was until I removed her tent mate! I need to invite my buddy over to help with the trimming.
