Me, I'm a total newb and this is my first grow! Germination and transplanting) 30th May start: week one including germination. After 36 hours all seeds had germinated using the 'moist-kitchen-towel-in-a-zip-lock-bag' method, at 28C constant in an airing cupboard. 1 seed with 12mm root, the 2nd 10mm and the last, 8mm. Left for further 12 hours before transplanting into 3 9Ltr Air-pots filled with Biobizz AllMix. REAL start of week one - 2nd of May at 8pm: with germinated seeds transferred to their final pots I turned on the Mars Hydro TS1000 at 25% intensity and covered my Air-pots with clingfilm, leaving the light on for 24 hours. May 4th, 8am, after 36 hours in pots (light on constantly) all seedlings through; one seedling at 35mm, one at 25mm and the last at 15mm. I have been rotating the pots 1/4 turn every few hours. Also increased light intensity and venting passively through the tent vents (one up high and one opposite, low down. Will switch on fan in a day or two. 6th of May, girls seem to be happy. Minimal watering. Pot rotation every 5 or 6 hours by 1/4 turn. Lowered lights to 18". Temps around 26-28C, humidity between 55 and 65%, dependent on affectation by the watering schedule. RAM Air clip-on fan started and on 24/7, indirectly blowing (slight breeze). Added lighting timer and set up 20/4 schedule. 6th to 9th of May; slow and steady growth. Pictures are from day 5 from transplantation.

Grow Questions

StuG69started grow question 4 years ago
Hi! General question about leaf misting. I'm starting to do it before lights out but can it be done under lights too? I know from limited gardening experience that it can be detrimental to leaves but is the same true for our girls when under LEDs? I'm using a Mars Hydro TS1000.

Use caution with foliar sprays while the lights are on. The droplets can create a magnifying effect and focus the light to a point on the leaf, burning it. Also, if you're trying to introduce nutrients through the spray, the lights and warmer temps associated with them can cause the spray to evaporate before the leaves can absorb it all. If you do spray with the lights on, do it within an hour of the lights going out. Be aware that spraying will increase RH for a short time as well, so you may have to factor that in.

@StuG69,thank you, i have made the same mistakes too. i will learn on this grow and the next will be better.

@1stmanny, Hopefully that sorts it then. I must admit I've never tried changing the PH of my water as I'm growing in soil so assume that it buffers it. Out of the tap, or bottle, it's about 6.9 - 7.0 so I just let the water sit for 48 hours then add my feeds and water the girls with it. That said I bought a meter a couple of days ago just out of curiosity so will check it more carefully. As I say, hopefully yours will sort itself out! It's all a learning curve isn't it. At the moment I think I'm under-watering mine but I'm using a soil dampness meter which says that the soil is quite moist about 3" and further down so I'm just being super cautious I guess. My biggest learning experience has been about temps and light placement. I had it too close and kept getting leaf curling on the edges, oh and I had the fans on too high too close too which also didn't help so now the light is 24" above (600mm) and the fans are further away, so for the first time in 2 weeks, I did not see so much leaf curl this morning when I checked them. Oh, that issue and learning LST as I go. 2 plants like it, the 3rd not so much so I think I need to stop now as they are over 3 weeks and most likely about to start flowering. I have pre-flowers at the nodes now. I must update my diary for week as the girls are now 23 days old! Good luck with the PH and all the best!

@@54degreesnorth, Well, I should be in the States for two weeks, but this corona shot put paid to that and my flights got cancelled so as I had time off work anyway we decided to take advantage of the easing of lockdown and book an AirBnB place in the Yorkshire Dales instead. Sun would be great although the weather report for next week is kinda meh. Never mind, have plenty of buds to ease the pain, haha. All the best mate. I'm following your grows now, too. :)

@StuG69, yea I've harvested bits early cus of mold and bug risk, better than getting nothing. Your harvest doesn't look bad. Where you going on holiday too? I'm not planning on any holidays with all this corona shit, would be nice to see some sun though. My plants could do with going on holiday to somewhere sunny too!!! Haha

@@54degreesnorth, I wish I'd had another week with them but time constraints (read last minute holiday booking by the Wife!) forced my hand and harvest this time around. That said, I posted a pic of the trichomes and there were plenty of the good stuff to make me feel a bit better.

I already have 2 18" tall Bubba Kush vegging nicely in the garden ready for when I get back off hols to put them in the tent. Looking forward to diary no2 now! :D

Great job and congratulations on your first grow. Your plant looks fantastic. Enjoy the fruits of your labor. Best of luck with future grows as well. 👍

Before you have bigger/more roots than leaves you should spray your plants with warm water all day (Leaves can eat more than roots in the baby stage). First days that's every 2 hours, then a few times a day, then only water in the pot that contains soil with nutrients. (complete/heavy mix soil is what I use) After that I add only a flower booster, upping the dose every 2 waterings. (pk 52/34)
