WEEKLY SUMMARY:
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
🙋♀️Fo' Twenny here!🙋♀️
Today, we are germinating a seed for another new strain. Meet🌨️👸🏻 SNOW WHITE! This cultivar is bred by SPLIFF SEEDS! Huge thanks to everyone at SPLIFF SEEDS for allowing me the opportunity to test these genetics! She is a feminized 80% Indica and 20% Sativa hybrid cross of Northern Lights Special x White Widow x Cinderella 99. She is supposed to be a very powerful strain great for treating nausea, muscle spasms, cramps, depression, gastrointestinal disorder and stress. She's described to have a Northern Lights influenced flavor with sweet and fruity overtones. This should be a good one, so grab a seat and follow along to see how this one will play out!
Any advice, suggestions, or constructive criticisms are always welcome.
Now, for the weekly break down!

👩🌾 SEED SOWN 👩🌾🏻
- Germination will take place in a Jiffy Peat Pellet placed in soil/coco mix in a 6 Black 8"tall Active Aqua brand 6" x 6" one gallon square pot. The same solution was used to soak Jiffy Peat Pellets and surrounding soil.
👩🔬NUTRIENT SOLUTION👩🔬
⬇️Mixing Rundown⬇️
- The solution starts with 4 oz tap H2O through two kdf filters mixed in an 18 oz Solo cup. Peat pellets were soaked in solution. The solution is then applied to the surrounding medium by gently pouring from a plastic Solo cup. Nutrients and additives are added in the order listed below and thoroughly mixed using a plastic stir spoon.
.05 ml/16 oz - Rapid Start
.05 ml/16 oz - Superthrive
pH: 6.4

I always make sure pH is in the range of 6.0- 6.6 prior to adding any microbial innocclants.

🚿FEED DAY!🚿
I am not measuring exact amounts applied, but I would estimate she received approximately between 10-16 oz of solution. I mixed 2.5 gallons of solution for the 4 seeds/seedlings that is to be administered throughout the week as needed.
👩🔬NUTRIENT SOLUTION👩🔬
⬇️Mixing Rundown⬇️
The solution starts with 2.5 gal tap H2O filtered through two kdf filters mixed in a 2 gallon (I overfill) hand pump sprayer. The solution is applied via wand sprayer with sprayer end removed because it's faster and gentler without.
Start pH: 7.8
Start EC 1.1
TEMP: 74°F
.25 tsp/gal - Superthrive
.25 tsp/gal - Rapid Start
Our target pH is in the range of 6.0- 6.6 prior to adding any microbial innocclants. pH adjustmented using General Hydroponics pH Down.

• WATER APPLICATION: I use 2 different watering systems. The pump sprayer is typically used in early veg, between feeds, or for lighter feeds. Most feeds are usually run through the pump and reservoir because it's faster and easier when dealing with larger volume feeds.
– 2 GALLON LAWN & GARDEN PUMP PRESURE SPRAYER. * I removed the spray head due to clogs and it's just faster.

All components were mixed into a 50 gallon tote that is kept in a warm environment to help innocculate to promote a vast and diverse microbial life in the rhizosphere. Once mixed, add 32-64oz water once every 7-14 days as needed. The goal is to keep the soil moisten without oversaturating.
