I’ve started the next perpetual grow cycle. I’ll need to fit this new grow in with two 1 gal pots from a current grow (Fruit Salad). So 3x three gal pots. One Gorilla Cookie, one Strawberry Pie and one Northern Light.
It will be tight. The overlap is 3 weeks atm. I had every intention of two grows overlapping by 6 weeks. This felt right with 2 tents. But I might end up with 2 grows per tent, 3 weeks apart each. If I still crop from each grow beginning at week 9 through to week 12, then I have a perpetual harvest.
UPDATE: I had my first two failures to pop with the direct-to-substrate method. The Strawberry and the Northern seeds. I actually recycled the soil from the last grow (Two Tents) for this one. I think that may have had an impact. The soil was flushed and a light blend to begin with. But it was full of roots. Perhaps they bound up the growth too much. They popped but died before reaching the surface.
I’ve replanted the pots with new soil in the centre. I had one Strawberry Pie and one Northern Light seed left. Come on babies.
The Gorilla seed popped and is a nice new little seedling. She will be a little older than her sisters.
UPDATE: the second two seeds have popped and are the seedlings are busy sprouting. I’ll remember to always use a bit of fresh soil to sprout when I am recycling it in future. They are about a week behind the Gorilla Cookie.
