30x Green Gelato grow | RQS

14-08-2019 ------------- 40x Green Gelato by Royal Queen Seeds have been put in between wet makeup removal pads (per 10 seeds) to initiate germination. As soon as they have germinated and been put in small pots, I will start this grow-diary. 15-08-2019 ------------- Not even 12 hours after having put them in between the pads for germination, most of them have popped already. Ten of which were ready to go into the small 0.5l pots. Before being able to do so, I have prepared ± 25l of Coco by putting 2 bricks of Coco (Bionova) into a solution of water + Superthrive + CoGr Buffer + some Root Stimulator. (pH-ed down to 5.5). They are now underneath a 125w CFL light. They will all remain there for a week or so before being moved into a different room, where they will VEG under LED (Photon Growlight). I have a total of 15 x 65W (per unit) and I'm not sure yet how many of them I will use for VEG. 16-08-2019 ------------- More beans have germinated overnight. Pretty much all 40, except for 2 so far. I've put another 20 germinated seeds, which were ready to put in small pots, into the small 0.5l pots and underneath the 125W CFL light in the small tent. There's a total of 30 in there now and I'm expecting to be able to put the remaining 10 in there by tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for watching! 17-08-2019 ------------ Small update... the last ones (except for 2) of the 40x Green Gelato by Royal Queen Seeds have germinated enough to be put in the small 0.5l containers, which I did today. I've filled up the containers of the ones I've put in the small pots first, as they were already reaching for the light. I always fill the small pots with just a little (half full) coco , so that when they start reaching for the light and stretch during the first few days, I can fill the pots up with the rest of the coco, so it supports the long and skinny legs and I only end up with 2 small leafs on top of the coco. More pics + updates soon... 20-08-2019 —————— From the 40 seeds, 39 eventually sprouted, of which 2 didn’t make it, leaving me with a germination score of 37/40. Which to me is perfectly fine as the plan was to eventually have 36 ladies in the flower-room. This will be the last update for this week, as over the next week I will let them come up for a bit and let them work on root-development, before eventually transplanting them into either red-cups or a slightly larger sized pot. Stay tuned for next weeks updates. Thanks for stopping by! PS. They have not been getting any nutrients, nor water yet, the nutrients listed in week 1 are the ones used to charge the coco with. (Using Bionova Coco Bricks which expand in water) Other than that I only mist them regularly with some water + superthrive. To be continued...
