Well, it's my first grow! This grow diary is about one Blackberry Kush, even though there will be some company to get cozy with. All seeds are fem, non-auto. I have always wanted to grow Blackberry and have high expectations! (Pun intended.)
Just to keep things interesting I have included a mystery plant. While doing some cleaning, I found 12 or so seeds (at least 2+ years old). Curiousity has me including the lone seed that germinated out of the dozen. After all, I must have kept them for a good reason?
After startup the humidity went up to 95-97%, but from research & reading about early vegetation stage it's ok. The other concern is the high temp which is odd since I'm using fairly low-powered LED lighting. The moisture being generated in the 40" x 40" x 60" GR is very tropical.
For this first grow 4 different plants are being grown together in a cozy sea of green (well, 5 maybe including the mystery plant if it's a she):
Blackberry Kush Fem (This Grow Focus), Super Skunk Fem, Gold Leaf Fem and last but not least two hybrid "Hazy Gorilla Time" (Gorilla Glue #4 x Clockwork Orange x Malawi) from Regs, so unknown but hoping for at least one female.
Low (3 out of 5) success rate of germination average across the board; seeds were put into cups of water for 24 hours, then the sprouts were placed carefully into AgroMax starter plugs & put under dome for 2 days. All "keepers" then transplanted into 2 gal. pots for official "Day 1" of the grow.
Thankfully I am lucky to have a guru who steered me to Great Lakes Soil and liquid gold SuperThrive; why be a mad scientist when others have done it for you?
