These will be part of my first medical grow (multi-strains). I'll grow from 8 to 10 plants in total but to mitigate risk, I start with only the first 4 (SLH, Tangie Cookies, Wild Berry and Og Kush). If it fails, Ill try another method. The plan is to transplant in 1 gal smart pot and then 8 will go to the Autopot Smartpot station and 2 will go in bigger 10 gal smartpots for manual feeding. I'll be using Remo full line, try my hand at cloning and detail everything.
I put that Canuk seed for 12 hours in a mix of 1 part 3% peroxyde + 3 parts bottled spring water. Next morning I quickly rinced in pure spring water and dropped in a Rapid Rooter pellet, at about 1/4 inch deep. It was previously watered with same Eska Spring water, wicked from the bottom in a Tupperware (I cut 4 out and vacuum sealed the other from the 50 pods tray). I deposit a lid on the hole made by cutting a small piece off the bottom of the pods. I remove that lid when I see some activity underneath but the seedling is able to push it out on it's own.
March 6: seeds in 0.75% Peroxyde for 12 hours over night.
March 7: dropped in bottled spring water for maybe 10 minutes (only the Wild Berry was still floating but that was also the biggest seed. I then planted into GH Rapid Rooters. Mat at 23C under a cheap 19W seedling Led light on a 19:5 cycle. That provides about 230 umol/M2/sec of light, perfect for babies. Unused rooters from the tray where vacuum sealed in pack of 10 for future use.
March 8, only the Wild berry is still closed.
March 9 (morning). All have cracked open but the Tangie Cookies is slightly behind, still in its hole.
March 11. Some are sprouting out too long outside the rooter. Also needed to vacate space on the heat pad. Moved to tent with 36W Sansi lights in 1 gallon smartpots. Burried the white part from the long ones. For the SLH, she was entangled in the rooter so I planted deeper. Coco mix: 40l canna coco 17l perlite 9l vermiculite. 5 gr promix myco per pot. 1/4 ml microbial mass pro with 500ml water and 1/2ml magnifical. The 40L of coco was humidified with 13.5L of water with week1 Remo supercharged nutrients about 5 days ago. Outside the rooters, the girls will find some goodies.
march 13: installed my 2 SF-4000 in that tent. Using only 1 for now + 1 Sansi 36W to even illumination in a corner I need. Adjusted to 25" with dimmer at 15% and measuring 12000 lux (about 220 ppfd, enough for seedlings).
Will plant 5 more seeds tomorrow morning so will soak these in 0.75% peroxyde tonight. I may split this into more than one diary.
Tangie cookies is still a bit behind. Wild berry developed some lighter green markings on one of its true leaves. Nothing to worry about but I’ll keep an eye on it. SLH and og kush ate doing great.
I hope for a second set of leaves to develop this week.
Planted 5 new seeds (debating updating it in another diary).
I give them 200ml of solution every 2 days. They are still tiny for 1 gal pots and I dont want to drown them so i measure quantity exactly and hope it’s enough.
march 16: installed a better humidifier inside the tent, set at 60% and reduced fan speed to 2/10. My bluetoot RH logger says it keeps the tent between 60 and 65, temp 20-23C, in the green zone of a VPD chart. It should help.
march 17: We now see the growth of a second set of leaves coming out on all four babies. I guess they like the higher humidity. Some signs of nutrient deficiencies on some, I may have to water closer to the steem.
March 19 I read something about coco needing lower ph so beginning with the last feed of week1, I’ll aim at ph 5.8.
Beginning of week 3. Today I did some LST on the super lemon hase. Tomorrow I’ll get more clips to be able to attach the others. Manipulating that slh, I get a weak peppery herbal smell.
Accidentally cut the tip of a leaf on Tangie cookies while installing LST wires. Interesting musky aroma coming from Wild Berry while doing lst.
Thursday update: they are growing lush and stacking new nodes super tight while thickening their stem.
Apr 4: On day one of veg week4 I transplanted. 3 in autopots + og kush in a 10 gallon pot to be fed manually and to be flowered alone in a 3x3. SF-4000 at 30% 24" away, 20000 lux (22" for the og kush, 22000 lux).
Apr5 feeded with an extra of Remo’s nature’s Candy.
Apr6 feeded and topped (og kush between nodes 4 and 5. The others between 5 and 6. It would have been possible to top them all at 5-6. I just cutted one too low by mistake. I plan to use the first two bottom stems for cloning...
I’m still missing the main tubing to connect the Autopots to the tank but I began feeding from the bottom (except Og kush in 10 gallons smartpot).
Apr 13: second round of topping on og kush two mains + topped a side + fimmed other side to see...
Tangie C.: Second topping on 2 mains. Sides not ready yet.
Removed Og kush from that grow, if I find the time Ill do a separate diary for that one. Shes now alone in a 3x3.
That grow now includes 8 plants on Autopot Smartpot with Airdomes in a 4x6 tent with 2 SF-4000 grow lights. They are growing like crazy!

TRANSITION WEEK. Going from 19hours of light to 12hours gradually...
Flush Autopots line using a shop vac and put new nutrient solution in the tank.
Plants got a little bit burned on tips by the Astroflower, next time Ill introduce it even more gradually.
Added Microbial mass pro (0.25ml/L) and Nature Candy (0.25ml/L) by pouring directly in each Autopot valve container.
Dimmer set to have about 25-30K lux.
Added a 36W Sansi grow lignt in a corner for the Johannes CBD.
Put the SF-4000 as high as possible (metal wires directly through the tent roof bar. Lights raised up to 100%.
That's 936W from the wall!
6'' Infinity fan running at 8/10 blowed to adjacent room, in the house ventilation system, no need for a home humidifier anymore!
Beginning of flo3, I found the Ethos glue rbx3 to be a male, one less in the tent. I traded a clone with someone who breeds. I may keep the other clone.
I also got a flood. Roots and/or sticky nutrients are causing the Autopot valves to malfunction. I couldn’t find the fault, just cleaned everything and reinstalled and now it’s fine.
