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.
