Fo' Twenny here with an update on our little Gorilla x Cookies cultivar from Expert Seeds!
9/16 - Day 12: She is a beautiful shade of green and looks happy. I was one square pots short and when I bought this one, I accidentally got the 7" x 7" instead of the 6" x 6". It will bug me, because I am weird, but I planted her in it anyway. I put 1 tbsp Mycos, .5 tsp Recharge, and .25 tsp of Azos in the whole at the root zone. Sprinkled some White Dutch Clover seed after transplanting. Watered with plain water.
BAD NEWS:
Half of the blue diodes have gone out in the TMLAPY light. This light was actually gifted to me shortly after a friend purchased it from Amazon and realized it was too small for their space. It seemed to be serving it's purpose well for vegging photos and running bumper crops of autoflowers but it failed only four months after the warranty period ended! Weak-Sauce!
GOOD NEWS:
So, I upgraded the 24"x48" tent to Samsung LM301H boards. I ordered a 320w straight single piece heatsink with 3 boards from Geeklight. I went with the 3k spectrum and switchable UV/IR since all my autoflowers bloom under this light. $306 USD after all is said and done.

@MrJones,good morning,
I keep my unused seeds in a wooden cigar box with a small dehumidifier packett,
under my workbench in the basement on the concrete floor, keeps them dry and cool.
so far so good.
Later!!
@MrJones, I really don't do anything fancy. I keep them in a cool dry spot. Each pack is packaged separately and I put each order in a plastic ziploc so I can find seeds from each order easily, and each if those bags goes in a gallon freezer ziploc bag. I don't refrigerate or anything at this time. Maybe I will at some point, but I think I am going to keep pheno hunting for a while and use up some beans until I have selected a few winners worth revegging and cloning. I haven't found anything with a real wow factor yet. It's all good stuff, but I am looking for that one that is a unanimous 10 star cultivar.
@FoTwenny, yeah general hydroponics maxigro and maxibloom will make your life a lot easier. It's cheap and it's a complete feed. The grows I'm harvesting now never got any additives or boosters.
@FoTwenny, hey, well if you're looking for a simple feed. @wicked_stix uses maxigrow(I think it's the name) soluble powder, 2 bags, one for veg one for bloom. And his bud looks killer always👍
@Fruitgrower, This is back when I was running the full Fix Farm Line with a few add ons. It was a modified version of their feed schedule and actually used lesser amounts than recommended at times, but you're right... It was a lot of mixing! In the near future I plan to start running clones and comparing nutrients lines. Hoping to find the most bang for my buck without compromising overall quality.
@FoTwenny, I am not taking that page from your book, I have 6 different stains going now and I am so over it! I am doing 10 Strawberry Pies, and 5 of another strain to fill my Auto Closet, and then 1 Strain in my Phot Period Tent this enough excitement for me! You are my Canna Hero!
@MrJones, I am perpetually behind on updates, but getting closer and closer to catching up. 😂😂😂 That said, this garden is all over the place. With so many different strains and some starting flower earlier than others, the canopy is far from even. Nonetheless, I am very happy with how well everything is going. Right now, I am placing the tallest cultivars on the outer edges and the shorter plants in the middle. Thanks for stopping by Jonesy! Thanks for the love and support! Happy growing!
