Hello growers !
I am a long-time gd subscriber and I'm finally starting my first culture. After many years of NFT cultivation, I stopped in 2013 and started again almost 3 years ago.
I will be updating my journal daily, so there will be new information and pics often 😉
SEEDS :
10 BBG Auto purchased from #FastBuds in december 2022, the uncultivated ones were kept in the fridge since then...including the 2 that concern us here...
DIARIE :
For week "G" I use a Garland - Heated Dome Greenhouse - 24W with thermostat and after 24 hours (24°C) in a glass of water, I put the seeds in paper towels (24h - 24/25°C) with Voodoo Juice, Piranha & Tarantula liquid (2 ml/l) in spray to the paper towels. In 48 hours germination is complete and the seeds ready to be planted ! 🙃
Once the seeds are planted in the grow medium, in the “Nutrients” selections section for Voodoo Juice "Plus" the dosage is in "grams" (There is only "ml/l" on gd) for 4 L, which I prepare once a week for watering weeks G/1 & 2.
- With these 5 nutrients EC : 0.2 (100 ppm)
- No PH check
Other information :
- Watering volume per plant : 200 ml
- Ro water : EC 0.0 - PH 5.8
- Light (Dim. 20%) : 24/0 until opening of the cotyledons. After opening : 20/4.
- PPFD : 100
I use a PAR-Meter so, I don't measure the height of the light 😉
- Humidity : 80 %,
- Day temperature : 25°C,
- Night temperature : 21°C.
Period : 18/03 - 21/03/25 from germination to the end of the week "G".
From the airpots, 3 days and 2 waterings. Total : 400 ml per plant. 400:3 = ~0.133 ml per plant, per day.
I hope you enjoy following my cultures as much as I enjoy following yours! Take care my friends !
Well, here we are "week 1" !
Period : 22/03 - 28/03/25
DIARIE:
Same as week "G", for Voodoo Juice "Plus" the dosage is in "grams" for 4 L and I use a PAR-Meter so, I don't measure the height of the light.
When the seedling are big enough, I use the Floraflex "Round Flood and Drip Shield" manual drip irrigation system.
I like to water manually and this system is absolutely fantastic with the different sprinklers and the 1 400 ml reservoir ... and the watering is really great!!!
I noticed that with the "Gravity Dripper" (Slow sprinklers) nothing would flow if the water in the reservoir was less than 800 ml. So I used the "Quicker Dripper" sprinklers for weeks 1, 2 & 3, plugging two out of three holes to reduce the flow.
Other information :
- Watering volume per plant : 200 ml
- Ro water : EC 0.0 & PH 5.8
- Light : Dimmer 40 %
- PPFD : 200
- No PH check
🌱Day 1 : Installation of the 2 Floraflex “Round Flood and Drip Shield” & 1st watering
🌱Day 2 : Nothing to say, the 2 seedlings are strong and doing wonderfully!
🌱Day 3 : PPFD : 240 - The seedling stems may look long but they are the perfect size for the FloraFlex watering system. The stems are thick and the plants are sturdy. In fact, the size of the plants should be taken from the point where the caps emerge, as if the latter were the growing medium. If the caps are placed on the growing medium, 5.5 cm is already necessary for the plants to emerge from the FloraFlex. I'm quite surprised by the development of these 2 BBGs, they took their perfect sizes without asking them anything 😂😂😂 With my little experience, I think, I hope, they should get really big with a strong structure, and with lots of really dense candies 🤪🍬🍬🍬 This is what I got with plants that started the same way.
🌱Day 4 : Neither plant has grown; they are doing very well, the leaves are starting to develop. I replaced the 4 L of water with Voodoo Juice Plus for the next 7 .
A quick word about Voodoo Juice Plus : The tablets always have an expiration date of 18 months would be from date of MFG. It's a blanket rule for microbes in general and doesn't take into account the modern manufacturing procedures that were used to create these tablets.
However that being said.... As long as the product is kept dry, bag resealed, between 20 - 22°C (68 - 72°F), no fridge, the product remains viable for years beyond the date on the bag. Information provided to me by a member of the DNA team.
🌱Day 5 : The plants are doing well. I increased the Connoisseur Bloom fertilizer a little from 0.25 to 0.3 ml/l. I think this is a safe and appropriate dosage for week 1. I think today's watering will be the last one this week.
🌱 Day 6 : PPFD : 270 - The BBGs look great 😍💚
🌱Day 7 : Last day of the week, everything is going well, the leaves are coming out quietly. 3 waterings for these 7 days.
Week done ! 😁
Take care of yourself ! ... And smoke weed 😶🌫️
