OG for her

12 hours on the soak and 36 in the towel. She popped along with the rest like clockwork. Hopefully it translates to a strong seedling🤞. Tip O’ The Week A couple things really - I’ve slapped together a miniaturized 3 gallon cloning/seedling res. for starting off dwc grows. It’s on a 3 stone bubbler, with a 4 way drip manifold that’s feeding each net pot. For large photo grows we’ll go with a full size net pot but for clones and autos these 3” ones usually suffice. We’re only runn’n one of the 100W Spider Farmers until we see the first 2 leaves. Then we’ll go full on with the other fixture. if ur working with rooters slice em right open. It gives the tap root a lot more room to move with a lot less resistance👍. The goal is to get the roots to the res. As quick as possible. Even with the manifold drips, this is an auto so time really matters here. Which goes to the next tip - a small layer of hydroton below the rooter so that you keep it as low as possible in the net pot. Yet still you wanna be high enough to ensure that you fill it as much as possible to avoid leak’n light in any of the res. below. Light leaks are literally kryptonite for water based hydro grows. Don’t fuck around, tape all openings, have a tight fitting lid and cover your net pots with something as best as possible. In this case I’m using silicon cutouts of a couple $14 dollar mats from canadian tire. But I’ve seen peeps use bedsheets, towels, excessive amounts of tape - whatever. As long as you keep light out of the res. at all costs. Especially early when u won’t have leaves to provide shade and that grow light is beat’n down on ‘er - the rest of the grow should be good to go👍. Stay tuned for next week too! We’ll have a whole ‘nother bunch of bullshit to spew about air bubblers, early nutes, foliar spraying and seedling progression😉🤟. Questions, comments and clarification always welcome👊. Background From Exotic Seeds, Herz OG is a 4th gen. Cross of GG4 and black lemon autos, crossed again with a photo Herz OG mother. Supposedly piney, honey and woody tones with a calm relaxing effect. Just what the lady of the house ordered. She’ll be straight DWC like the rest. 2 weeks on the drip line and depending on how they all do, this may be the girl that stays under the Spider Farmers for the duration. My first go with Exotic so no idea what we’re in for. Let’s hope she’s a beast🤞.
