Sleep only CannaBoom CBD+
I have strange family members who wants to go to sleep but they do not want to get high. I don’t get it. To me, if you are not doing anything, might as well get high and then fall asleep.
However, I usually ran out of CBD buds faster than my other buds. There are people who don’t want to get high.
Right of the package, CannaBoom CBD plus looks promising. Seeds are big and fat with solid color. And it took only four days from seed package to first two pairs of leaves.
This round, I don’t want to loose them to damping off by Pythium.
These were the things that I focused on during germination:
1) Soil mix
Instead just adding fertilizer to old soil. I am making an effort to mix soil that drains better. I used: coconut husk 2 parts, earth worm casting 2 parts, old soil 1 part.
Yup, I still like fertilized soil, still like old soil.
Added a fistful of Trichoderma spp. (soil type with five different Trichoderma strains).
2) Soil preparation method.
I mixed soil a day before planting seeds. And Trichoderma would colonize the entire batch to prevent diseases.
I, then, water the container, remove floating coconut husk. And most importantly, I did not compact soil. There is better drainage.
I normally compact soil tight before placing seeds. I like to see my container full. And I don’t like it when soil settle and shrink. Logically, plants won’t stay more than a couple of weeks in starter pots. Plus I’ll be changing to a bigger pot any way. Again, keeping the soil naturally loose would be a better idea.
3) Seed placing method
And instead of pour in water after placing seed. I pumped my bottle and spray the top part of the soil. This prevents seedling from floating up from loose soil.
Activity log:
Seeding
Germination day 1 – soaked in diluted hydrogen peroxide solution. Seeds were Indica size but with no zebra stripe. After 24 hours they cracked.
Germination day 2 – put in cotton pad and propped up vertically. After 24 hours, seeds sprouted 3 mm tails.
I laid the seed flat and then I went out to exercise. And in three hours, half a millimeter of root had grown sideway.
Transplanted all seeds in 500 cc planter cups.
Germination day 3 Seedlings poked up out of the ground.
I kept the seedling container exposed to the weather and did not cover it. High humidity may cause mold.
Germination day 4
True leave showed on two seedlings. One is a bit slower.
Germination day 5
The slowest seedling disappeared entirely. So, there are only two left. I really should secure the space for germination. Cannabis seeds are not cheap.
Moving on. Keep my finger crossed. Making horn sign. Press thumbs. Put the two seedlings in my light box.
I just read your germination comment and still laughing.....right on Bud!!! Even if I am headed for bed I am going to get there with a little buzzzzzzzzzzz😂😂
I am running a 1:1 that is supposed to have both over 10% so I am hoping that will help with some periodic back pain but also this situation of before heading to bed. Been on my thoughts lately so i guess that’s why your comment caught me so funny😂
Thanks for the laugh!
Looking good mate 👍
Would like to haven an irrigation setup like yours instead of watering from the top 😬
I'm just confused about how to add my water supplements as I would use a gardenhose from the rainwater tank/pump adapted to a 15mm irrigation hose.
Might have to add a kind of mixing reservoir to the irrigation system and have that slowly emptying using the flow of the water? 🙄
Cheers for adding another project sir 😂✌️
@Smartie, oh this tiny pump is for seedling only. I bought two types but couldn’t figure out Chinese instruction on the digital pumps. So it’s dials and analogue for me.
I rigged up two old computer cases with household LED lamp, timer, pump, and a 2-liters water container. This works for re-vegging stalks cloning and sped up seedlings. But my max plant height in the case is like eight inches. So, the plants goes outside later.
Seedlings are easily damaged. I dare not let other people water it. With this set up, I leave things running and can go on a week long trips without worrying about my babies.
Once plants are big enough , it’s garden hose or a jug. 😀😀😀😀😀
About feeding mix,some nutrients don’t mix well together. So I still prefer to feed different things on different days. I am sure that this kind of machine can be build for a farm. Kind of like paint mixing machine with timer.
When I see that brown shit, it gets on my nerves, even if I smoke high CBD weed. But I'm already counting on these problems at the end of the grow. Sweet harvest.😎
Yes @Betagemini, annoying. The season was a bit off. Any way, I decarbed it almost right away. A pinch of this CBD in a cup of tea is all it takes for long lasting effect. Very potent CBD.
@DETOX, sativa hit fast. CBD come very slow.
I think when CBD arrives it negate Sativa.
Good to know - much thanks. 🙏🙏
I’ll use less than half CBD ratio with my crazy Sativa.
@Taito, my secret is how to keep the plant vegging outdoor in short hours. I am not afraid of light leak. I use my fence light at night to keep plant in veg until they are big enough. Happy growing companero.
