Here we go! Lots of firsts in the grow. First attempt in coco. First attempt indoors. First attempt at photoperiods. Can't wait! I am using guidance from Dr. Coco and his website. I truly feel that I have learned so much about coco and have not even ripped open the bag of substrate. Should be fun and hopefully, 'fruitful.'
3 of 3 Jack Herer Feminized have popped and grown ample tails. After 41 hours, they now sit in Rapid Rooters becoming seedlings. No sign of the Power Plant seeds springing to life yet. Will check again in 12 hours.
60+ hours in. Jack Herer seeds have popped up and are still sporting their helmets. No sign of life from the Power Plant seeds. They are still sitting in the dark, warm and cozy within a Tupperware.
The week was both fruitful and fruitless. The 'free' seeds from MSNL were duds. All three of them failed to do anything. The other 'free' seeds from MSNL, however, did pop and are growing well. I have used my week to get my EC and pH management in check. I have been building up the EC (starting at 400) and building up about 75 points with each feeding. Week one had only single feedings per day. I'll double feedings in week 2.
I have also spent a good deal of time working on my environmentals. As expected, it has been cool in the grow tent (65F - 69F). Clearly, warmth will become important to offer the ladies the appropriate environment.
