RUNTZ & FAT BANANA

naja1 Hi folks, here is some information about what I do and how... hope you enjoy my diary But first, a little about me... I'm a smoker for years and I decided to grow myself because I don't want to finance criminal networks. I started with random seeds found on my pouches. With paper towel and random soil. No nutrients, nothing. I never thought it would work 😌 But, cannabis is strong and I've got lucky 🙌 ==> I had 8/8 "FEMALE" plants from completely random seeds. I wasn't aware of what I was doing lol but it went ok. Even if I harvested waaaay early, it was smokable with decent THC. I don't buy weed anymore! 👌 My second attempt was with 3 skunk #1 feminized from sensi seeds, this summer. I germinated them like a savage (again), in random soil (again) 😫 and then put in the garden for 4 weeks... I think I'm very very lucky (again), cause they grew like champions. Once they begin to bloom, I've put them indoor, on 12/12 (HPS 250W RED spectrum), I defoliated, LST, like every day and used nutrients to get the best out of it. I harvested like a week ago and actually, I'm very happy with the outcome. It's more smokable and full of THC. But I know, I could do better. So this is my third attempt 😊. And you know what, I don't believe in luck! so from now on, I'm very careful. Especially, because this time I choose my strains, my lovely runtz and fat banana. And I've worked hard on my setup, on my soil, nutrients, watched hours of youtube videos on how to grow cannabis 😂 and I continue to learn every day from you guys! So, what did I do this time? here is a quick list : - First I put my seeds in a glass of water until they sink (16h) . - Then I put them in a paper towel, in a plastic bag, between 2 plates (in my case, I prefer to use a sterile, not knitted compress) until 2cm roots (12h) - When they are big enough, I put them in their first home, 4l pots (buried in the final pots, so it prevents the soil from drying fast) - I do my best to keep the humidity between 65-75% . I put a plastic bags on the pots so I keep the humidity high - The soil I use is composed of : Canna Terra Professional (60%) + wormhumus (5%) + peat (35%) - The light distance: 45cm (from bulb to sprout). I use a MH bulb 250W , for the vegetation stage - The temperature is constant between 22,5/24 C° at night and 27/28,5 the day - The extractor/intactor are always on (24/7) + 20w monkey fan always on I have a 60x60x160 box, so all my electronics and stuff are outside. I also made an external system of cooling/warming/humidifying with lots of pipes and probes. For now, I keep things simple and I wait for my girls to have their first leaves to add some root juice and auxins (from germinated and mixed green lentils) Until tonight, I'll check them every 3 hours to be sure of their wellbeing and then tonight I'll switch the lights off for the first time (for 18/6) Fingers crossed PS : please make comments if you notice something odd in my diary, I count on you!! My best regards
