Toofless Monkey // Fox Farm VS NFTG

5/22/2020: This entry was made for the germination day. No growth yet, just waiting for seeds to pop. Here is a brief record of the germination method I'm using: -Soak seeds for 8-12 hours in room temp RO water with 1 tsp Zeus Juice to 1 oz of water -Make sure Root Riot cubes are still appropriately moist. Gently squeeze the sides, and you should see moisture ooze out of the top. If not, put the cubes in a bowl of room temp RO water, then let drain before using. Cubes should be spongy and moist, not saturated. -Make the hole in the RR cube a tiny bit deeper. Sprinkle a tiny bit of Mykos inside the Root Riot cube before you put the seed in. Put the seed in the cube with the pointy end facing down. -Put Root Riot cubes in starter tray - add seed dry then add 5 mL per cube of 6.2 pH RO water w/ syringe -Place dome tray on top of seedling heat mat, use at least 1 layer of corrugated cardboard between mat & tray -Put tray in tent, reduce intensity of LED light to 200w & hang at 30” distance - DO NOT TURN ON LIGHT YET! -Keep hood vents closed, keep it dark, wait for seeds to pop -Remove heat mat after all seeds have popped, turn on LED light once cotyledons appear, start opening vents to keep RH between 70-80% //////////////////// Some additional background on my grow for whomever is interested: SEEDS 5 x Chef Anna “Toofless Monkey” 1 x Chef Anna Casserole Surprise (one of the following: Toof Grizzley, Pink Teddy, 3 Piece Nugget, Toofless Monkey, Toofless Tyrone, Gucci Dreams, & Monster Breath) SOIL PREP 6 x 5 gallon Smart Pots 3 bags of Nectar for the Gods potting soil #4 6 x (4.5 gallons Nectar for the Gods soil #4 + 57 g Perlite) FEED SCHEDULE Every 3rd day: FEED - off - off - FEED NUTRIENTS 3 plants using Fox Farm “Dirty Dozen” pack 3 plants using Nectar for the Gods Sample pack SUPPLEMENTS -Cultured Biologix EZ Tea Veg // 5 - 10 mL In place of feedings thruout veg -Cultured Biologix EZ Tea Bloom // 5 - 10 mL In place of feedings thruout bloom -RealGrowers reCharge // 5 mL Weekly -Extreme Gardening Mykos // 4 tablespoons / plant (Germination) -South Cascade Organics SLF-100 // Every feeding w/ NFTG plants 5-20 mL SLURRY TESTS -before planting (day 0) -mid veg (approx. day 19) -late veg (approx.day 31) -mid-bloom (approx.day 48) -any time you see a problem CULTURED BIOLOGIX EZ TEAS + reCharge -Only for NFTG plants -Use RO water pH’d to 6.5 -mix in 5 - 10 mL / gallon of EZ Tea powder -add 5 mL / gallon reCharge powder -check pH again before feeding SLF-100 -Only for the NFTG-fed plants -5mL / gallon on every FEED day
