JOTI - Candy Water - Trial run in New city.

Finally settled in new city. Work has been absolutely crazy since arrival. Good chance there is sufficient time to actually get a grow in, but we'll see. A while back I bought some beans from JOTI planning to play with a little breeding project for the next few years. In the process I received some extra freebie beans for a strain called Candy Water. A cross between Gage Green's Holy water, and Afficionado's Candy Shop. Dropped the beans in a shot glass today for a presoak, will dump into a tissue lined ziplok tomorrow, and into a tray of solos with promix HP Wednesday or Thursday. If everything pans out should get a few ladies to flower, worst case Ontario will end up getting sent on some more BS and plants will die off, which is why I started the bonus seeds instead of the ones I planned to play with. More to follow. First grow in a while, new environment, new challenges to tackle. Old grow space was indoors, new one is in unheated garage in winter, and new work location is a bit busier than my last, either way, will do my best to get these plants to survive. Wish me luck. Monday 9 Dec 24 Beans into water Tuesday 10 Dec 24 Beans in paper towel Wednesday 11 Dec 24 Tap roots popped out on 12/13 seeds. Dropped em half inch deep into some old promix hp that didn't want to rehydrate. And tossed the lid on and into mini greenhouse. Garage temp is only 2.5 celcius. I fired up the ol' T5HO to find 3/4 bulbs are shot. I plugged in a heating pad/mat, and a small space heater inside the mini greenhouse. The pad got up to 21c, the temp probe for space heater was only reading 14.5c when I went inside the house, which is up enough from the 2.5c it was reading when plugged in. It will get me through the night at least, and give me time to move some shit around to clean out the 5x5 and fire up the big heaters and lights tomorrow after work. I added a bit of ph down, some monkey juice at 4ml/gal, calmag at half strength, and prop-o-gator at 1/4 strength to the water for the soil rehydration. It ended up just over 6.0 ph. Thursday 12 Dec 24 Checked before work. Garage is 2.5c, greenhouse is 18c, and heat mat is 21.. good enough to sprout I think. Will try to get tent sorted , apparently my dad borrowed my good extension cords while I was out of town. Night: managed to get tents up and running, both at 21c right now, still need to clean them out, but have the tray in a tent under better lighting (praystar 650) and consistent 21c heat. Will clean tents out tomorrow, going to pick up new vacuum filters for shop vac and some cleaning and organizing stuff. I came home to a dead truck battery after being out of town for a little while so got that and tents sorted after work. Friday 13 Dec 24 Too much stuff to get done today for Christmas, didn't get a chance to clean tents or garage yet. Tent is sitting at 25c for now, good enough. Got 2 seedlings that broke the surface today. Saturday 14 Dec 24 Remainder have popped through the soil. Sunday 15 Dec 24 Seedlings are looking good, tent holding 25c steady. I increased light intensity, and opened vents on dome. Hit them with a little bit more of the weak nutrient water just to keep soil moist. Got garage cleaned out, tomorrow is clearing the tents out, then will crank temperature and lights.
