Hello friends!
Starting another diary, as this time I'll try to have the strains separated from each other even though they're all in the same tent.
I changed a bit the setup, as I upgraded the tent from a Secret Jardin DR90 to a Homebox Ambient Q120. I already love it, really nice reflection when comparing both. Looks more resistant and durable also, but that time will tell.
Also upgraded the lights from a MH/HPS 400w, all Lumatek, to a new Spider Farmer SF400. Been running it for a few weeks now, but finally all the setup is assembled together.
On this upgrade, included a AC-Infinity Cloudline T6. Really nice, and silent. Perfect for my needs.
At last, got myself a swamp cooler. It's in front of the tent blowing cold air straight on the plants - on the lowest mode, and at a reasonable distance, as it's quite strong. And effective. RH is already up to 54% and temps are at 26c.
Just perfect!
So, now that you guys have the picture of the setup, let's move on to this Northern Light plot:
Got this seeds a few times as freebies by Seedsman. Fun part is that from around 6 I got, so far I only managed to get one out. In the past only had 25% luck with germination. With this 2, only one out, or 50% success.
Starting to get frustrated about it, and willing to order this strain but from another breeder, as everything else grows in here.
Anyways, the plant is famous for being an easy cultivar, with decent yields and potency.
I confirm that, maybe not so much the potency, but that's on me as I might have harvested too soon.
Seeds were soaked together in a shot glass, for 36h, moved to root riot cubes soaked with a solution of Biobizz Root-Juice, and moved to a incubator let on the floor of the grow room.
They're out yesterday, and will be moved to 11l fabric pots, with 1l Leca in the bottom. Soil was already watered to activate it. In 36h tops will transfer them to the final address.
Will be using the Biobizz line of nutrients, plus some homemade organic fertilizers - beans water for rooting, coffee grounds and water/10% pee solution, ashes for grow, egg, banana and molasses in flowering are a few of them. Trying for the first time.
On the side started composting in my balcony, the containers are relatively cheap, considering I can reutilize the soil, and meanwhile in the composting box, enrich it. Will use only some bones and fishbones, eggshells, banana peels, coffee grounds and ashes.
Will keep monitoring the ph and the ec, so the soil keeps it's ideal values.
The plan is to make a SOG with 10 autos in the tent, so we're set for the summer. This are just 3 of them.
That's all for this week, thank you for reading!
