Primal Punch Grow

Super excited to see how these seeds turn out from MG1 Seed Co. Its GG4 x Banana Punch. I let the seeds sit in a small cup of distilled water for 24 hours then transferred them to a paper towel. All seeds popped. I soaked the rockwool cubes in distilled water for an hour then transferred the germinated seeds to the rockwool cubes and placed them in my propagator with the heating pad underneath it.

I transplanted all the seedlings to 6" rockwool cubes and placed them on the tray in my tent. The tent is an 8'x4' that I'm going to use Panda Film down the middle to separate it into (2) 4'x4' sections, one side for future veg and the other for flower. I'm currently hand watering, I'll be setting up my 15 gallon reservoir and drip system in the next couple of days if the rest of the parts I ordered show up.

I pretty much got the whole drip system set up, I realized I was missing a couple pieces so I’m still hand watering at the moment. The pieces should be here sometime this week, I’ll be able to start the automated watering here very soon. Where I live our tap water is only 30 ppm so just carbon filter to remove the chlorine, adjust the pH appropriately (I use Citric Acid), I’m a brewer by profession so I have plenty of access to that at work. I’m only using FloraFlex Nutrients and going according to their schedule. The plants are stating to really take off.

I've finally got the drip system up and running, perfect time too because they are definitely drinking more. They are getting fed 4 times a day at 1 minute increments which comes out to about 100 ml per feeding. The plants have really started to take off, roots are coming out of the bottom of the cubes. I just topped all of them so they'll start branching out more. I'm currently running a 600w MH and am starting to deal with heat. 2 weeks ago I ordered a ChilLED Growcraft 600w LED light, I can't wait for it to show up so the heat will drop and I can get back on track with the proper VPD. I also just recently ordered Mammoth P microbes and some silica. Hop you all are enjoying the grow so far.

The plants are looking really healthy, I've been defoliating here and there to get the light to penetrate to the lower leaves and branches. They have started to bush out from topping them last week. I started using Mammoth P Microbes halfway through last week. They seem to have grown a little quicker since adding them. The plants are still being fed 4 times a day at 1 minute each feeding. No signs yet of which is female and male, I am planning on pulling all the males once they show signs.
