Week 1 TO FEB 8
Jan 20 – put 2 @ each, DG (Double Grape), CD (Chemdog), and 24 (24 Carat) in rapid rooters which were soaked with distilled water and 1l/ml of voodoo juice. Placed in a propagator and in the dark in a warm 75 C spot
Jan 25 – so far I have a DG (with another trying), 2 CD and a 24 germinating. Soaked my 3 gallon fabric pots filled with Pro Mix with 1ml/l od voodoo plus a tbsp./gallon of molasses.457 ppm and 5.9 ph. I have the light at 24 inches and dimmed to 90 w (270 max) – once the seedlings start to thrive I will up the light over 4 days. I also have a 18 hour light schedule that I will increase to 20 hours once they thrive.
Jan 26 – 2 DG germinated in one pot, 2 CD in separate pots although one seedling is not thriving yet, one 24 in one pot. I pulled the other 24 seed I was trying to germinate in the rapid rooter and there was something going on but no tap root. I planted the ungeminated seed in with the other @4 to see what happens. The rapid rooter seemed to wet. All are under humidity domes(plastic cups).
3 gallon pot is 3.5 Pounds completely dry
Jan 31 – all seem to be thriving. I turned the lights to full (over a few days). Took off the humidity domes (measured at 80% humidity in cup). Humidity in tent is only 35%.
Feb 1 – Humidity now 45% but the first DG seems a bit dry looking so I backed the light off to about 75%
Feb 7 - both CD seem stunted. one has some grayish material growing at the point of growth on top of the plant and the other has weird shaped leaves. [TO MUCH LIGHT TO SOON. I SHOULD HAVE WENT WITH THE PPSD RECOMMENDATIONS UNTIL THEY ARE ESTABLISHED AND THEN TURN UP THE LIGHT ONCE THEY HAVE A GOOD START. I DID HAVE THIS LIGHT VERY CLOSE WHILE MY LAST GROW WHILE IN LATE FLOWERING WITH MUCH FROST AND NO SIGNDS OF LIGHT BURN]
I started 3 new 24 seeds in quick starters. I will see how the others are doing while these germinate.
@Lucifers_Nursery, hi, I actually just had a grow, Deeze Nugs and Skywalker, where I had single and double plants in 5 gallon pots. I used lst and got the same yield (about 1.2 oz/plant) from each pot regardless of the number of plants per pot. . I didn't run into any issues due to the number of plants per pot. I figure that in nature they grow side by side.
The Double Grape looks healthy. From my limited experience, I suggest you keep your lamp at 24" or more from the plants for some time. You will want to encourage a bit of stretch so you have something to LST, if that is your plan.
@mingokoon, I have not seen anything like this before. Starting some new seeds makes sense if you have the space available. Otherwise, it may be something that they grow out of, the strange leaves in particular. See how the next set comes in.
What are you growing in and have you provided them with any nutrients? Actually, I'm hoping you say no nutes. The other thing I recently learned is that you have to water seedlings very small amounts of water. I was "drowning" mine in 500 mL of water. Even though I had soil that drained well, I think I set my plant back with this over watering.
None of this is the final word, just some of the thought's I would have if they were my plants. Good luck with the grow!
