she has taken her first solo flight and i am her to see her grow and to see how i did with a super skunk x eagle bill cross. i spent a lot of time researching the eagle bill, i am a fan of super skunk for its massive yields and her sweetness, the eagle bill had a haze feel, real smooth and tasted great. i will run this test as i am looking for certain traits of this cross. this is a journey that you will see evolve from a small seed to a seedling to a vegging plant and finally to a flowering plant with a harvest. I will try to explain the whole process so you too can grow your own.
i let the seed germinate right in a small rock wool cube that was first dampened with a water and clonex solution of 1 tbl spoon per gal. . 14.7868ml. i soak the cube and lightly shake off excess water, i drop a seed in the hole. i mad a dome using a empty 2 liter bottle that was cut in half. the cube went inside the dome. the dome went in to the tent with a 300 led that the timer is set for 19 hours. now you say 19 hours why so? my reason is simple, years ago i traveled to Alaska. the sun was up for a long time. i had some weed form there that i must say was some of the best i smoked in awhile. after that i experimented with this light cycle, 20 on and 4 off. i tried 21 on and 3 off, i liked the 18 12. i came across the 19 hour and 5 off cycle as a happy spot for our cannabis seeds to grow, and the story began and some real dank was grown and smoked. the veg time, your plant will suck up that light and still have a good night to sleep and rest. i have seen plants, autos grown full on 24 hrs, yes they get huge, only because they flower and stretch, i grow photo strains so with the lights always on i will get slower growth. a plant needs a natural rest period just like anything alive. i wait until i see the tap root come out of my started cube. Now i place this cube in to a bigger rock wool cube, but before i place it in the next cube, the bigger cube like the smaller one has been soaked in the same clonex water. i sprinkle 1 tbl spoon of mykos extreme gardening into the hole on the bigger cube, i lightly water the hole where i just put this powder that is made for roots. this helps the cannabis to really take off. you put the cube right on to this with the tap root. so direct contact. (instead of bigger cube you can use soil, coc, dwc. your starter cubes are great for starting seeds. root riot cubes are really nice to start seeds in as well. you can sprout seeds in paper towel, ect. all kinds of ways that work nicely.
i wait about 3-4 days and i start a small feed. instead of using a larger dose of nutrients i use about a 1/4 of the amount.
I a using just 1 teaspoon per gal of npk grow and the same mix of 2 teaspoons of clonex per gallon. i water the bigger cube until a small run off. i pick the cube up and i remember the weight of the cube, you can use this with soil and coco so you will know when to water your new cannabis grow. i do nothing now except i will check the weight of the cube every other day. i do not mess with the plant i just let her be. she is young stil and i just want her to grow, give her clonex to develop roots so they will spread out. until next week
@Theia, so far she seems nice. im going to try to push her until i see amber maybe 9-10 weeks flower? but she smells real dank. im excited for this prize mate. cheers
@Ganjagrandaddy, thanks, doing the best, put lots of bends in the others here and there fitting them all under the lights, work but as you know pays off in the end. cheers
@blendmedmedman, I don't doubt your skills to do it at all. I do find that with lst and how I tend to train, I don't get that much fluctuation in how I need to gerow them. It tends to end up about node lengths really i suppose. Well worth the extra effort too , still kotnas brave as 16 though heehee. Good luck.
@Ganjagrandaddy, yeah i did way too much on this grow, but i am working it, i try to do only 8 but for some reason i chose to do about 16, i am hoping it all turns out nice
@CodyCannabis, she will smoke real nice. i am getting excited to be the first person in the universe to try her. so far HOLY SURFER looks great.
i may pop one next run. very nice i say, and i bet she looks good next time too.
