Germination
11 days ago
This is the start to my first grow with fast buds. This is my 6th grow this year, but I was keeping journals on a different site for those. I am growing in hempy style, which is a passive hydro system involving smaller buckets, mine are 1.25 gallon with a hole drilled into the side of them 2 inches from the bottom. This creates a "reservoir" for the plant's roots to drink from. I'll be using general hydroponics flora line of nutrients. I germinated my seeds in shot glasses filled with tap water. The banana purple punch plants (bpp1 and bpp2 from now on) both sprouted tap roots in a day or so and were placed into rockwool cubes the day after. The two Lemon Cherry Cookies (LCC1 and LCC2 from now on) were germinated the same way, but their tap roots took an extra day to show, and were put into rockwool the same day (today) that they were placed into their starting containers. I know transplanting autos is frowned upon, but hempy transplants are different from soil and cause no shock to the plant so I am starting in solo cups to get the root system established for the first week or two and then they will go into the final buckets when they have a root system capable of supporting them. The pictures will get better as the journal continues, I promise 😬 Thanks for hanging out! Cheers!

we are at the end of germination week. 3.5/4 plants are up. I'll explain... Both BPP plants are doing well. One of the LCC is also doing well, not as well as the BPPs but its catching up. However the other LCC is not doing so well. it has "sprouted" and shed the shell, but the cotyledon are not yet fully out of the rockwool. I'm not expecting it to live, but I'm hoping it will. If not I'll germinate another seed to replace it. They are sharing non ph'd water that has 1 ml of each of the flora series (micro, grow, and bloom). I've been watering them every other day, but starting this week i'll ph the water and wait a bit longer between watering. That's all for this week, thanks for hanging out. Cheers!
