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 photos 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 mini heated greenhouse 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 4L, 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 when the seedling comes out of the coco, 200 at the start of week 1.
I use a PAR-Meter so, I don't measure the height of the lamp 😉
- Humidity : 80 %,
- Day temperature : 25°C,
- Night temperature : 21°.
21/03 : End of 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 !
22/03/25, Well, here we go for week "Veg 1" !
DIARIE:
Same as week "G", for Voodoo Juice "Plus" the dosage is in "grams" for 4L and I use a PAR-Meter so, I don't measure the height of the lamp.
When the plants 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 1400ml reservoir ... and the watering is really great!!!
I noticed that with the "Gravity Dripper" sprinklers nothing would flow if the water in the reservoir was less than 800 ml. So I used the "Quicker Dripper" sprinklers for the week 1 & 2, plugging two out of three holes to reduce the flow.
- Watering volume per plant : 400 ml (Ro Water EC : 0.0 & PH : 5.8).
- Light : Dimmer 40%
- PPFD : 200
- No PH check
I will be back soon with new photos and will complete some information after the first watering of this new week...
Take care of yourself!
