SATURDAY 9/21:
After having had my entire rig and all my cured produce stolen from me by my pardner in crime, I'm starting from scratch.
(That f**king asshole!)
Special thanks to the fabulous folks at Fastbuds for sending me some replacement beans!!!
I mylar'ed up a closet and got a little light to get them started with. It's 3500k with some extra 660nm and draws about 200w from the wall. I am going old-school this time around..no pre-soak and no paper towels. I bought some soluble myco + tricho + all the good beneficial bacteria and mixed a little into a liter of distilled water and wetted rapid rooter plugs. I planted all three Stardawg beans in the rapid rooter plugs and put them in a little humidome under 9w of pink light.
TUESDAY 9/24:
All three emerged with no problems, but one is still wearing a "hat"..
THURSDAY 9/26:
All three had taproots sticking out a few inches, so I planted them in their 3 gallon pots and put little mini-domes over them.
FRIDAY 9/27:
I knew better than to try to start some seedlings with no humidifier, but the asshole stole mine, so I tried it anyway..I have several seedlings that probably aren't gonna make it, but so far all 3 x Stardawgs look fine.
I wet them down and put some trays of water in the closet to try and bring up the RH.
TUESDAY 10/1:
Okay, so only one survived, and she's starting to grow.👍
My soil mix was too hot for them...rookie mistake...
I finished working on my homemade frame and mounted 6 x 120w quantum boards to it, but one of my 3 x 240w drivers failed, so I gotta get a replacement sometime in the next few weeks. I still gotta get my ventilation squared away before I can even run them.😎
FRIDAY 10/4:
She's my lone Fastbuds plants..got high hopes for her.
She'll be surrounded by a bunch of Candy Cane hybrids.
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Ya, the lights are def too close to the ones that have stretched the most..I super-cropped 5 of them one day, and the very next day there are a few more that need it as well...
I COULD remove the 10" oscillating fan I have mounted above my home-made light fixture and raise the lights another foot or so, but I think most of them are done stretching and I want to keep as even a canopy as possible...plus that fan really keeps the drivers and panel heatsinks cooler...
Looking good so far! I am hoping to try this strain on an upcoming grow so I will keep following along to see how things turn out. All the best to you growing forward! 👍
