The Cinderella 99 Story GH FloraNova

Intro: This is going to be a comparison dairy between Organic and Salt Based Nutrients using the same genetics. This diary is the GH FlorNova grow of the strain above. I will be also growing an identical grow in another diary using all OMRI certified Organic amendments from Dr Earth. Medium, environment, genetics, training and lighting will all be the same except for the nutrients used. Please check out the other dairy and see how this is keeping up with the organic grow. This will be the GH FloraNova grow of Brothers Grimm Feminized Cinderella 99 aka Cinderella XX. After germination seedlings will eventually be transplanted to a fabric pot. I’ll be using my Organic starter medium for the first 2 weeks of the seedlings life and I will then transplant the seedlings to a fabric pot and commence the GH FloraNova nutes. Seedling Starter medium: + 3 parts Canadian Peat Moss + 1 part Dr Earths Compost + 1 part Perlite + Pre-Amended with 1 Tbsp of each Dr Earths All-Purpose, Starter, and Tomato and Vegetable Organic fertilizers. Per gallon of medium. + Other Amendments used was 2 tbsp of each Dolomites Lime, Oyster shells from Down to Earth and Insect Frass 2-2-2. 1 Tbsp of Azomite from Down to earth. Per gallon of medium. + Medium will be inoculated with Recharge, Orca, and Dr Earths Metabolic Transformer using 1/2 tsp per 1 liter of water to kick start microbial life in the medium. I will be using Canna Coco and perlite as my medium during later stages of plants life. —Day 1 (10/11/2020): Germination of seeds will be first kick started by soaking seeds in a shot glass of RO water for 2 hrs. I will then sow each seed 1/4-3/8” deep in a small 8oz planter pots full of the Starter medium mentioned above. I will then water each pot with the Inoculation solution mentioned above til medium is moist and not saturated. Seeds will be placed in a closed germination tray on top of a heating pad set to 80F. I will update accordingly for each intervention to keep everyone posted. Please leave me any tips and suggestions as the grow progresses! Thanks and grow hard and prosper! — Day 5 (10/15/2020): So far so good! Just to give an update I will grow using organics during the germination and seedling stages. I will then transplant to a larger 1 liter pot, this is when I will be applying the FloraNova Nutes. It seems all seeds have broke through the surface of the medium! I did remove the heating mat and lowered the fluorescent from 8” to 6”. I also started the 18/6 instead of the 24 light schedule. I cracked open the dome at least 2x a day to let fresh air. The dome vents are now at 1/2 open until all seedlings have at least 1 full pair of true leaves, then I will slowly ween of the dome. At that time I will then open the vents up to half way. I have not added any water to the seedlings as the medium is still moist thanks to the dome. — Day 7 (10/17/2020): Growth is steady and they are now about 2” tall. The true leaves are starting to develop and are lime green in color. I have not added any water to the medium as of day 1. I will now open vents to full open on dome. I will eventually remove the dome in a couple days to introduce them to their new growing environment in the 4x2 grow tent where they will start their new adventure.
