29/7/2019: Day 1 of germination, I have started the diary now just to keep track of when I started. I am going to be growing using biobizz lightmix soil, and their nutrient range also. I will be veging under a 400w hps and plan to do some low stress training with them too.. and then will be flowering them under a 600w hps. I have started the germination process by placing the seeds directly from the pack into John innes seedling and cutting soil, and saturated the soil lightly with root juice at 1ml/l, and then placed the pots into a heated dome so Fingers crossed we get off to a good start! Will update the details properly when we start seeing some progress! Been waiting since Christmas get these in the dirt so quite excited for this run!
Germination update: so roughly 48 hours after I started germinating in the soil we have life, 4 out of 5 lil troopers have surfaced so off to a flying start so far, hopefully the last one doesn't take long to follow. With decent beans to pot this is a good example of why I like to germinate in the dirt instead of paper towel method ECT.. I find it easier my self and takes just as much time too I find so why faf about with something that works? Next update everything will be set up and these lil
ladies will be growing away in the tent
So last update im going to do this week, I've put them in my small veg tent temporarily whilst I wait for my soil to come, I put them around 18"under a 400w hps but they already look like they are stretching a little so have dropped it 2" and will continue to do so when necessary, going to be transplanting them in a few days into 20l pots so will do my next update after that. Still no sign of the 5th seed but I'm more then happy with the 4 that seem to be off to a good start so not going to complain!
Thanks for checking in!
