📆28th January Day 1
I would like to start by saying that the information I share here is mostly gathered from the internet and regurgitated in my own way.
I have used my research to improve my grows.
I am more than happy to share my information and if you find it helps that’s great!
But as it goes, what works for me may not work for you.
And id like to add to that, it’s usually down to environmental factors. So getting your environment right is also very important to get best result.
My germination method in theory is very simple > plant the seed straight into the soil...
However anyone that knows me knows how I like to complicate everything... XD
So my step by step complicated guide to germination!
• Step 1: Get 4x 500ml pots Label them with a permanent marker pen do it clearly you don’t mix them up.
• Step 2: Get some soil of your choosing, (preferably a light mix) I went with BioBiz Light mix... Take 2L of your chosen soil throw in a bucket... **Optional step: Add in 2tbsp of BatGuano, 2tbsp of Mykos, 1tbsp Living Organics.
• Step 3: Use 1L dechlorinated tap water or Ro water (I use bio thrive neutralize) @20-24c with CalMag product bring it up to 400EC... add any root boosters, Humic acid and enzyme products at half strength.
• Step 4: Using a shot glass or sprayer to wet the surface of the soil/pots with 200ml each of your seed starting mix.
• Step 5: After wetting the soil surface gently pat it down some it’s even and not “lumpy” you need it to be a smoothish surface for the next step.
• Step 6: Get a biro pen or pencil, Mark out 0.5cm on the pen/pencil... push that into the centre of the pot/soil only up to the marker.
• Step 7: Choose your 4 seeds. Now this is your choice but I put the seed 1 at a time in my mouth for 1 minute using a timer (This works for me every time) after 1 minute has passed spit the seed into the hole you made. Job done lol.... NOT...If you DON’T want to use your spit you can use luke warm water for a few mins/hours up to you.
• Step 8: After the seed is wet by either your mouth or water. Position it into the hole you made earlier. The pointy part of the seed goes down and the flat part facing up. (If you look at a picture of a cannabis seed up close you will see what I mean)
Covering the hole carefully with a loose sprinkle of soil just to cover it DO NOT pat down soil above seed.
• Step 9: Place your pots in your tent or suitable grow area to keep the temperature regulated.
Turn your lights to 24/0 just until all the seeds are up and growing nicely then we can change to 18/6 if preferred.
Step 10: Covering the pots with some cling film/plastic wrap/sandwich wrap/annoying plastic stuff that’s in your draw. This keeps the moisture and heat in. Remove it once the seeds growing straight up.
**Optional step, using a heat mat place the pots onto a Plastic tray then the tray on top of a heat mat this improves germination results.
@Mrs_Larimar, so important!!
Mine is high rate too, this time the only seed not to germinate was an “11 roses” by delicious seeds...
it was a 5 year old seed at least :(
I much prefer to skip paper towel method now :)
@Mrs_Larimar, thank you dear, I’m just amazed that I got them to 7 weeks with only Growzyme, Humic acid plus and More roots!! I didn’t feed organic grow once XD
lets talk per Pm about lightdistance
and light intensity
i see it for alonger time now, but dont wanted to say anything,,, but now that you are asking i would have afew thoughts
@Mrs_Larimar, Go ahead I would appreciate all of you’re advice always thank you!
I’m 12/12 400w max with distance of 32” that’s reading between 500-600ppfd across the canopy.
Do you think I leave my light where it is and let them stretch to it? Can they handle 900ppf with no co2? I’ve never measured my PPfd until I got this app, but things are looking good. I will update again tomorrow :)
@Mrs_Larimar, Awesome! I will go and check them out now. I’m seriously considering cloning these. Strains just so if I get a winner pheno I don’t lose it.
Regretting not cloning my recent FFT10 :)
@PharmaZ, Thank You so much and I will take you up on that offer 🙏 I can fully understand the mastering your craft...I am currently working on an organic companion growing concept...My first grow with all inputs will be on my Gorilla Glue grow I got her companions sprouting with her now and will add a living mulch sometime next week...Thank you for taking the time to chat..if you could take a look at my Purple Punch and let me know what you think so far I would greatly appreciate your thought👊
@@Trumptight420, thank you for the kind words friend! I believe everyday is another day to learn something new and grow... so keep on hunting for those gems and keep reading everyday something new.
Crystal candy was really sweet tasting a caramel sort. Not fruity as such. I could have done her better if I’d started flushing week 6 of flower but I kept pumping them that run and they all went a lil green. But it was a lesson learned im trying best to master my inputs to really truely understand what plants want as much as they let me 😂
But yea feel free to hit me up anytime if you want a 2nd opinion.🙏👍
@PharmaZ, Grow strong friend...If you EVER have and input as how to make my grows better please feel free to give your advice! Stay tuned my friend there's an update tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by and showing some love🙏 Also, how did you like your crystal candy F1? I saw it on your page but haven't had the time to check out raw grow, believe it or not I read everything on the diaries, there's a lot of hidden gems in them😎
Very well balanced grow dude. Like, seriously.
A lot of people be like "But it's not as purple as I wanted it to be". And then I'm like, if it's green and gold, it's even better.
Have you checked out lactic acid bacterias? Maybe citric acid effects?
@PharmaZ,
Yeah look, I work with STUPID heavy clay (check this).

So what I used was calcitic lime, kelp and molasses (cheapest "bulk" shit I figured would improve the soil, AND IT DID!)
I use lots of calcium, like, I find people tend to use too much magnesium often, tbh. And yes, I know it relates to the phosphorus uptake, as well as "sweetness" or flavour, oil production in general, BRICS for the plants. But, additionally, citric acid makes phosphorus more available. Plants can exude acids, direct or indirect, like perhaps associated symbiotic microbes, (for shit like citric acid) to help mobilize phosphorus. So just something to keep in mind in case you seemingly have phosphorus in the soil but it's not being taken up properly.
Btw, 200kg of feed grade calcitic lime, 25kg of blackstrap molasses and 5l of kelp is what I used (though I haven't used half of it, except the molasses, which I've been eating and making "beer" with but it's lasted like more than a year). Cost for that? A bit less than 30usd...
@sir_isO, ahhh, I see where you’re coming from now. I will tell you my thoughts...
I had more than enough P my soil it was bat guano based and I top dressed with High P guano.
My problem was not enough Calcium. My water from the tap is 0.1EC
for the first month to 6 weeks I only needed to water 1 time per 7-10 days... so when I did have to water I had to think what do they need for such a long period of time. (High humidity in veg is the way to go for soil)
Unfortunately I wasn’t adding enough calcium I honestly believe this was my problem. Come harvest my plants stems where hollow...
There is a relation between phosphorus and calcium.
I generally add enough cal/mag but this time didn’t because of how well the soil was preforming without any real use of NPKs for the first 7 weeks.
When I look back on this grow, if only I had lowered the light and added more Calcium... that’s my thoughts.
Thank you for your insight we tend to go round in circles in mu brain in this hobby... but learn new things every day. Please feel free to share anytime 👍🙏👊
@PharmaZ,
Citric acid kinda for mobilizing organic phosphorus in soil. Though, apparently, it can be used as a foliar spray as well (other purpose though, more against pathogens). But since it's so ubiquitous to plants, I dunno exactly what the effects foliar would be (but it's clearly not gonna be for phosphorus, as such).
Just wondering about it, especially the LAB, because it's apparently rather good but I don't see people often using it. I'll probably try it on some new plants growing in winter, I usually try some experimental things. Foliar feeding imo is something I do a couple of times before flowering, very little effort, material used, potentially good gains. I've tried a bunch of strange foliar mixes, mostly with good results. Almost never burns and shit like that (and I've tried some completely out of whack sprays).
Привет, Отличные растения!!
Я только что понял, что Вы просили зайти к вам в репортаж )) и вот я зашел посмотреть.
Я добавлял гуминовые кислоты в коко при замесе, это для питание бактерий, и так для поддержки в трудные минуты!)
Ваши Растение как раз готовы к срезке, но тут все дело каждого, хочет более эйфории или камня. Удачи Мой друг ^)
@Malina, wow, thank you my friend! that’s nice to know as I have 2 more seeds to pop another day!
I can see how frosty all the phenos look so far from your diaries.
I like My medicine to be as strong as possible for my head as it numbs my thoughts :)
Gardening is therapeutic in itself.
хорошего дня
@PharmaZ, Привет, Мой Соратник ))) Доброго Утра)
У меня спазмы в теле, поэтому я люблю вечерний камень, Когда нет мыслей в голове и ты созерцаешь, и твое тело медленно расслабляется, а иногда я люблю и
заряд энергии))
Буду ждать дегустацию дыма от вам)
Кстати у меня было 3 фенотипа из пачки семян, но я упустил самый энергичный фенотип, он был урожаен где то больше в 2 раза, почки были sativa.
