hi everyone!
im so exited to post my new grow since this is my first grow ever ,never even had a plant to water !!
Thanks to youtube and google iv manage to not kill it LOL!
I was learning as I was going so on that notes lets start to grow !!!
I pick up some og bubblegum from zambeza seed ,main reason I whent for those is time ,yield and price !
Basicly they were the cheapest ,producing the the biggest yields in less time possible.
iv skip the seedling stage since I unfortunately didn't record at that stage (didn't know I was gonna make a diarie and find this amazing sites LOL!!)
seedling stage:
-soak some jiffy pellets in straight tap water (my water come out at 8.2ph)
-put the seed in , not even a finger nail deep and cover it back lightly
-put the pellet in a plastic Tupperware with the lid on ,to keep moisture but to make sure it didn't develop any mold,
it was in the dark at 16 degrees Celsius ,was lucky it work I guess ,after 2 days it pop
-on days 4 I transplant it in a mini pot ..size of a solo cup
-POT SIZES:- seedling stage - jiffy pellet
- veg stage - solo cup ,1.5 gal air pot , 6 gal air pot
- flower stage - 6 gal air pot
-LIGHT: 19/5 veg
12/12 flower
used a cheap (again trying to keep my cost as low as possible) amazon light at round 80$can called oneo 1000w
definitely not strong enuff to cover my 4x2 tent size canopy
-TENT: vivosun 4x2x60
Zambeza seed ,og bubble gum grew fast, I took more time ,(2 month)
with my inexperienced iv only started 2 seed for a 4x2 ,soooo took more time to make sure I fill up the 2x2 space she add (other seed was a freebie blue dream and stay small so the OGBG end up having to be bigger then 2x2 feet since she was growing at a faster rate...definitely a fast grow !!!
She took all the training ,defoliation I throw at her ,very impressive...compare to the other plant she was recovering in matter of hours after some bending and LST, amazing!
FEEDING:
iv fed her organic gaia green amendment ,she loved it ,never show sign of deficiency what so ever ,was very easy to grow .
adjusting the ph with food grade citric acid at 6.5 and molasses to feed the microbial life of the coco medium (canna coco)maybe once a week in veg and almost every watering in flower (75%) . also added 1 tbs here and there of cal/mag
amended 4 tbs/gal, good for 5 week at first (root r not big yet) transplant 4 week and 2tbs top dress every 3-4 week after that
I would fo sure recommend her ,I was so happy I made 2 clones ( next diarie) and still have 4 seed unpop.
hope you enjoy my grow and please remember its my first grow ever
@hansherbert3,just got a honeywell humidifier on amazon for 40 buck and I don't have a ventilation system so I just close the top vent so I don't loose too much and let the side smaller vent simply half open so I still get air circulation but still get to keep most of my humidity. I made some test prior to grow to be able to know what level I should adjust my humidifier to get what level of %, at like half capacity it gave me round 70%-80% ,if I kept it fullblast was giving me 99% and water was perling on the wall lol not recommended do as fo sure will get u fungus gnat ...my next grow I will keep it at 60% max to avoid any issue with fungus gnat ...have some seedling in 30% right now and they do just as fine maybe take a lil longer but dats fine for me
@XII_XII_MRGreen,ahah thanks ,there not huge but theres a lot of tops ,62 in a 2.5x2 space to be exact
think next time ill go for less tops so maybe they can get bigger ...its my first grow so im still learning !
