Hey what's up! Keeping this grow ball rolling with some different genetics. I really wanted to try a bit of the Seedsman stuff to see how good it is. This has some high reviews on their site so I wanted to see how it would stand up. I'm going super simple on this one and really trying to revert back to a less is more approach on my growing style and eventually get into organic growing or maybe no till. I've been doing a lot of mainlining in my last 2 or 3 runs so I really want to take a chance to go this plant in a more natural sense and just let it do it's thing, more or less. I will probably top it once or twice and LST the branches to spread them out a little bit.
Nutrition wise I will keep it as simple as possible with the basics and really try to work off a medium level of nutes. I keep burning my leafs tips on all my plants so I need to break it down and figure out what's causing that. I may try a method where I cycle through a few supplements on a daily bases but feed the base nutes daily. So I will always go with Micro, Gro and Bloom but then my supplement schedule would be like Monday = add Calmag, Tuesday = add Floralicious, Weds = add Koolbloom, etc etc.
Looking forward to this one as this is the most ideal temperature and conditions for my grow space and a time where I have achieved solid results when growing during this period a year ago.
First week notes:
- I mixed a very small amount (maybe a tsp to 1000ml of distilled water) of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide into my distilled water to germinate the seeds and it worked very well as you can see in the photo
- In my last bunch of germinations I have not achieved such long stems popping out from the seeds
- I literally gasped when I opened the paper towel as I probably left them a bit too long but it all worked out
- Seeds were germinated inside of a DVD case, inside of paper towel. I wrap the DVD case in a small towel and set it in the oven with the light on and the door slightly ajar to create an slightly warmer environment at approx 28 degrees celsius
- I am careful to check the temperature often and open or close the door in order to raise or lower the temp if needed and try to avoid as much fluctuation as possible
- Once seeds are showing tails, they were placed in the jiffy pellet and in the tent under 24 hrs of light until petioles opened
- Once opened lights were set to 18/6
- Nute solution was diluted to 400 EC and incremented up by 50 EC at each feeding, once feeding in the morning then one at night until 1000 EC was reached
Here we go!
@Terpy_Sonic, download a book called "Organic Marijuana Soma Style"and give it a read. It's a quick read and in it he talks about plant training, among other things. It's a bit dated but I think the super cropping tutorial and explanation he gives will give you knowledge on another useful way to get more out of your plants. You should be able to locate the PDF online for free!
