Started the germination buy soaking the seeds in distilled water in a dark warm place. After that I combined the top soil materials for two 5 gallon fabric pots containing coco, perlite, mycorrhizae power rooting booster, and diatomaceous earth from Apotforpot. Next the pots were filled with superb soil first then the top soil mix.
I weighted the pots and the both came in at 19.9 lbs fully soaked. My watering goal is to maintain 1/3 of this weight so about 6.63 lbs.
I just used distilled water for now and will drop to lower ph in a later period.
24 hours later I planted the seeds in their own pods and put them in the grow tent.
The lights are currently hanging at 31in from top of pod with the heat about 75 degrees. Might take the lower if this is not enough but not sure for now.
I am running the carbon filter fan as it helps keep the heat down but doing so I have to run the humidifier to help keep the tent moist. So far it’s been around 60.
Only one plant germinated (not sure which) so I will be starting another seed of Girl Scout Cookies paper towel method.
Had trouble with small plant and believe it was over watered I only watered once three days after planting in pod about 1/8 cup at most distilled water and pod looked droopy. Ended up lowering the light and plant looks like it’s coming back to life. Will have to wait and see if it grows further before I place in 5 gallon pot.
As mentioned I will start germination of another seed since I have two pots and mixed soil with nutrients I don’t want to go to waste. Trying a different method since water and cup only had 50/50 go.
Main plant second set of leaves were about as big as the first so I planted in main 5 gallon Monday the 8th.
The weight of the pot was still 11 lbs which is more than it should be at 6.58 so no watering needed. I did water the plant twice during the week and only a little to let the pod soak it in.
Raised the height so it is now about 27 in from top of main plants canopy.
Fucked up the generation/planting on seed into old pod as the soil was too dry and fried the seed. Staring another this week as well.
It has been very dry so been increasing the humidity to at least 50% to help. Also stopped running main fan a couple times for a little to help with humidity but the temps sometimes reaches 90°. I have it running now and have the humidifier higher to compensate
I ended up starting a new pod for the germination of Girl Scout cookie which was the right move. I reused the old one last time and it was too dry. Seedling seems fine just has outer seed stuck at the top keeping the leaves together. Hopefully this will go away naturally. Not sure if I can do anything to help. The stem is pretty tall as well which I am not sure why to the bottom leaves.
Main plant is doing well and growing. Watered only a little two days this week and the weight of the pot is still around 10 lbs so still heavier than it should.
Plants are looking great!
Watered a little only once this week. Pot weight is about 9.7 lbs still but felt pretty dry. I ended up increasing the light schedule from 16 on to 19 on and it is paying off well. Big filter fan is not being used and I am only using my small fan on high and humidifier for sweet spot in temp and humidity.
Little seedlings second set of leaves are coming in nicely and will probably move to main pot sometime this coming week.
Watering plants about once a week. Main plant seemed to get crispy on some of the first leaves which I believe is nutrient burn from watering more and the soil being nutrient rich. New Growth is looking great and overall doing well. I ended up adding another small fan for greater airflow in the tent.
Small plant is now in its own 5 gal pot. Height is at 3 ins and doing great.
Spayed both plants with Neem oil leaf shine mixture now that they are both in their own pots.
Plants are looking great!increasing the watering amount a little bit and only watering about twice a week. Stigma growth has started on the main plant. There are about 8 spots where stigma growth has started. It has been 40 days since germination so will give it about 20 or so more until changing light cycle. Might wait for the small guy to catch up but we shall see. Not sure if I need do to anything about the dried leaves. Should I leave or get rid of them. Not sure if any trimming is needed or should be made now at all.
Small plant is doing great as well and has a lot of new growth. Height is about 3.5 ins on the GSC.
They are growing like weeds
Main plant is pretty tall with lots of stigma growth. I water twice a week now and just letting it do it’s thing. Still keeping it in veg state for a couple more weeks.
Small plant is about 6 ins now with a lot of new growth. Lower leaves are dying with new growth looking great.
No more leaf issues and I’ve been keeping humidity still pretty high since it’s dry. I run both small fans with the light cycle. I occasionally run main filtered tent fan to help with the water build up on the walls. Other than that I usually don’t run it now. Will probably run it more in the flowering state.
Plants are coming along nicely. I’ve have been watering a little more and cutting back a little on humidity. About one more week left in veg stage for the main plant.
Small plant showed some small signs of nutrient burn with increase watering on older leaves. A lot less than the original.
I have not paid too much attention to PH and have been using distilled water only.
Missed a couple of weeks but not into flowering.
I’ve been watering more as I have the main fan running drying out the environment more. I’ve also been running a humidifier on full during the day to keep humidity.
Main plant is changing colors and older non budding leaves are drying out. It looks a little crusty which is why I have been watering more about every other day now.
GSC is getting pretty large and is just now about to start stigma growth. Still growing tall.
Plants are looking great. Watering both every other day has improved the overall health of both plants. I finally have the humidity and water schedule down with all three fans running. I am now realizing I did not water enough on the first plant as there has been a lot of drying out which I have trimmed most of it. Oh well shit happens and this is all a learning experience. Also I think the main flowering plant is the blueberry kush based on the stems and color change of leaves. I could be wrong though.
GSC has a lot more growth compared to the blueberry kush at an earlier stage in the flowering cycle. I think it’s because I switched it earlier to flowering lights and brought the temps and humidity to better controlled levels.
Blueberry Kush is almost harvest ready. I say one maybe two weeks as the top nug has no additional growth but the lower parts still have a little left. Excited to get this one harvested.
GSC has been growing like crazy. It’s currently 18ins and has plenty of starting stigma growth all around. I know they are different strains but it has been in better conditions and looks like it will produce more than the Blueberry kush. Time will tell as it’s still early in the flowering process.
GSC is doing great and has a lot of stigma growth. It has grown about an inch since last week as well. I am still watering every other day and it has paid off. Can tell this plant is going to produce a lot more than the purple kush.
I missed a couple of weeks but the Girl Scout Cookies is coming along nicely. It is still growing and near the end of the flowering cycle. The growth on this plant has been a lot better than the Blueberry Kush. Hoping for harvesting in the next week or two.
Will update on Blue Berry Kush later as it has been curing and ready to smoke!
