RicoGrow Here I am with my new grow ๐
I welcome my little one, which is an Ice Cream Cake from Barney's Farm.
So, I'm going to talk a bit about germination ๐๐๐
Many have issues at this stage; my method has a success rate of 95% ๐๐.
We're not immune to a hollow seed, having them poorly stored, or over-wetting them, which prevents germination ๐ณ๐๐.
For storing your seeds: the fridge. Your packets in aluminum bags, placed in an airtight box ๐๐.
So, for my way of germinating my seeds, I use:
1 small plastic box, but very important, it must be airtight ๐
4 to 6 cotton makeup remover pads, but you can use paper towels, etc. ๐๐
For my part, I use Seedbooster from Plagron, 2 drops diluted in 25 cl of water passed through a Brita filter jug, since it takes 7 drops for 1 liter ๐๐.
I moisten my pads by dipping them in my solution, but when I take them out, I wring them out properly, so they are just a little damp ๐๐.
If it's too wet or too moist, it will prevent germination ๐ฃ๐ซ๐ค.
I place my 3 pads in my airtight box, then my seeds, which I cover with my remaining 3 pads. I apply slight pressure on the whole thing to compress it all together. ๐ I close the box with its lid ๐๐.
In summer in a room at 25ยฐC
In other seasons, I use a mini heated greenhouse. Generally, 24 hours later, they may have germinated ๐๐๐๐.
Once well germinated, I mean germinated, with the sprout being at least 7-8 mm minimum, I place my seed in its substrate in small pots, taking great care, because be careful, the sprout can get into the pads and can slip into the pad, hence the importance of compressing everything well during setup.๐๐ฎ๐ฎ
So be careful if you use makeup remover pads ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐.
Then, with a syringe, I water very gently to properly moisten my substrate and afterwards, I place my pots in my mini heated greenhouse where I let them rise a bit. Once they reach a height of 3-4 cm, I set them up in my small Spider Farmer tent under the LED lamp SF 300 ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ช๐ช๐๐๐.
I wish you all a good week and a happy cannabis growing ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐

RicoGrow Hello everyone, we're back for new adventures ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Welcome to the new subscribers ๐๐๐๐๐
So, this week... ๐
*I'm preparing my pots with a mix of 50% Promix from Plagron and 50% seedling soil.
*I use a Brita pitcher for my water and I do this for the first two weeks; after that, I use tap water that has been left to sit for at least 48 hours. ๐
********************
Day 1: water 20 ml
Day 2: No watering
Day 3: 30 ml
Day 4: No watering
I'm starting to use Vita Start from PLAGRON ๐๐๐๐๐ Day 5: Vita Start 0.5 ml for 1 liter of water, watering 30 ml
Day 6: No watering
Day 7: Vita Start 1 ml for 1 liter of water, watering 40 ml
********************
*I added 1/4 teaspoon of DOLOMITIC LIME powdered for calcium and magnesium boost: ๐๐
*I set my pH to 6.2, I use Bio Down to lower it.
**I set up my plants in my little SPIDER FARMER tent under the LED lamp SF300 33W with a small fan on speed 1 ๐๐
*Climate conditions and other data:
*Day: 27 ยฐC
*Night: 18 ยฐC
*pH 6.2
*PPM 470
*Humidity: 70%
*No extraction in my little tent, but the fan is directed towards my screen window, which pushes the air outside and brings it in through the screen window on the other side. Clip Fan on speed 1 without oscillation.
I continue my growth under the same conditions.
I wish you all a great week and happy cannabis growing ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐

* I added 1/4 teaspoon of dolomitic lime to boost calcium and magnesium.
* I prepared and cleaned my big Spider Farmer tent which is ready to receive my 4 plants. ๐๐๐ช๐
* Today, I will do my repotting, set them up inside, and prepare my soil, but you'll see that next week, as those are the next adventures. ๐๐ถ๐๐๐๐

@squalino, Thanks my friend ๐๐๐ Now that you mention it. It's happening, Thursday the 15th I'm going to the hospital to have back surgery ๐ฏ๐ฏ I'm getting cemented from my pelvis to the 5th vertebra. So I hope it goes well too ๐๐ I'm only staying for 2 days but then 6 months of recovery. ๐๐
@RicoGrow, I hope everything will be okay. Stay strong and things will be fine for your plants. I suppose you can't lower them. Take care of yourself and look after yourself, my friend. See you soon!
@squalino, Thanks. We'll see, I'm going to push for another week in growth, which will give me another 2 weeks starting Saturday, so that will leave me a bit of time. I'll just be doing watering, that should be fine. ๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ
@squalino, I reopened 4 new diaries: a Durban; an ice cream cake; a moncherry; and also put up a dragon milk. I got messages from you on all four and also received likes on all 4. If you could let me know which one has an issue. Thanks and wishing you a good afternoon๐๐
