Hi again! I'll be starting 2 seeds that were given to me by FastBuds - Fastberry and Stardawg - I'll be going about this grow in a very simple manner, I germinated the seeds by putting them in a shot glass of pHed water and waited until they sunk to the bottom, which was surprisingly only a few hours, then placed them straight into their final 12l fabric pots to which they emerged within 2 days for Fastberry and 4 days for the Stardawg.
I'll be using GuanoKalong nutrients and fertilizers on a strict wet/dry cycle at the 3rd or 4th week of veg and I'll go into a little more detail on that in a bit. I'll also be doing some LST and defoliation/lollipopping as this has gone quite well in my previous (1st) grow so far and it also helps with the size of my grow area...which is small, I'm trying to grow 3 plants in their main area and its a bit tight. I need to make sure I start the LST earlier and keep on it more this time around as if you don't it'll soon get too out of hand very quickly and you'll end up with a crooked plant haha.
For the nutrients and fertilization I've had to follow a few guides with this organic range as it's not that straight forward, the grow and bloom nutes have zero 'P' Phosphorous in them so the 'Guanokalong' range suggest I pre-mix in their guano dung powder which is full of P and then later in the grow, by the 2nd/3rd week of flowering, I then top feed in some more guano and introduce palm ashes for the remainder of the grow on a fortnightly basis. I'll be elaborating more on this throughout the grow. On a strict wet/dry cycle watering I'll be giving them their nute feed once a week at a 3rd of their suggested dosage that their feed guide states.
This is my 2nd ever grow and judging by how well the first grow is going I'm hoping it'll follow suit.

It's now been 7 days since they first sprouted and they're loving the red LED, the leaves can't get enough haha I love it. I'll whack week 2 up 7 days from now to keep in a cycle on here.
