Day 1:
Started with a 50/50 mix of FoxFarm's Coco Loco & Ocean Forest soils. I decided to do this because the Ocean Forest was SUPER expensive due to the COVID lockdown, but Coco Loco seemed right. Hopefully between the two soils, there's enough nutes to keep everything fed for a while. After that, I planned on using the FoxFarm liquid nutes and fertilizers.
Everything is inside a 43"x24"x60" tent with 2x Parfactworks RA1000W, I planted a single seed in a 5 qt fabric pot about a 1/2" in and pinched the soil closed on top of it. With the 2 lights and 4" inline fan from Vivosun, I'm only pulling about 300w.
Lights will be left on for the first week and then switch to a 20/4 schedule.
Day 3:
I noticed the temperature was rising - almost hit 85 one day. I increased the power on the inline fan, added a small fan inside the tent, and opened up a vent to get the air circulating a bit better. To help with germination, I lightly covered the pot in plastic wrap - hopefully that helps move things along.
I stuck a dehumidifier in the tent, but it's not on yet. I also stuck a personal hygrometer in the pot and it's currently reading: 55% @ 88.8F (lower hum @ higher temp than I want)
Besides that, I'm only adding non pH'd water right on top of where the seed was planed when the soil looks dry. Now I'm playing the waiting game...
Day 5:
We have a healthy looking sprout!
Day 7:
After a week from planting in the soil - everything looks like it is off to a good start
Congratulations on the harvest friend. Beautiful grow.
I'm also on the quest to improve my flavor. My Lemon Haze doesn't taste like lemon at all but is a good smoke haha. Enjoy your hard work. Greetings ๐
@SalocinSpecial, She was a beauty, but didn't have much of a smell while growing or after curing. Smokes pretty well.. Bubble hash wasn't SUPER excellent and I'm waiting to see how this rosin turns out before writing a harvest diary.
Ended up being 5.5 oz.. around 153g or so with another 30g of trim/fluffy buds
Can anyone advise me on best wat to go about the best nutrients and using canna coco soil plus was told to mix with perlite new to this game lol. Would be greatful of any help cheers
@Maduchax, Hey bud - hope your run is going well so far. Is that soil straight coco? If so - you'll have to feed your plants often. Unfortunately, I'm not super well versed on proper organic nutrient feeding and that's why I went with the Ocean Forest/Coco Loco and Fox Farm nutrient line. Using the Ocean Forest Soil mixed with the Coco Loco, I didn't have to feed my plants any nutrients until the 4th/5th week. Then after that, I just followed the Fox Farm feeding chart. I probably did something wrong at some point and that is why there were some leaf discolorations/burning in some of the earlier weeks, but I'm happy with the results.
Whatever way you go - I hope you get great results
