--FRIDAY I mixed up a 1/3 strength batch of nutes plus a little bud candy to start up their high-carb diet and douched the bigger bitches pretty well. I gave a splash to the little girls too.
I also mixed up a 1/3 strength batch of grow big and started foliar feeding everybody but the seedling.. I alternate foliar feeding with spring water misting a few times a day in total.
--SATURDAY was a dry day. Only foliar feeding, and spring water for the seedling. all the girls loved their Friday dose...little gals notably bigger as seen in the photos. Tomorrow I increase to half strength nutes for the big girls and maybe the smaller ones if they look ready and continue my misting regimen. Tracking my package from Crop King..can't wait to get 3 more WW wet and max out my space!
--SUNDAY the girls got some PH'd water and a couple of foliar feedings and a spring water misting.
--MONDAY I received a package from Crop King Seeds! However, it wasn't my replacement White Widow AFs, but rather the Candy Cane AFs.that I ordered the same day...doh! Being the impatient fucker that I am, I put 3 CC's into a glass of spring water rather than wait on the WW's to arrive. The other plants already have such a head start that I didn't want to wait another minute to get the rest of the crop started. So, I've only got 2 WW's this go-round....c'est la vie. With any luck all three CC's will germinate and grow to specimen plants.
I also mixed up a 1-gallon batch of 1/2 strength nutes and fed everybody...even the mystery seedling. DId a nutrient misting and lowered my lights about 2 inches and added a 100w (equiv) cool white CFL and 120w cool white LED to the mix. They and the 3 x 50w blue/white Par38s remain on when the primary light and ventilation fans turn off for a couple hours of CO2 "bathing" PPM's get up to about 1200 by the end of the 2 hours. and temps climb to about 87 before the ventilation and primary light kicks back on. I might increase the "night phase" to 3 hours once there's a lot more vegetation in the tent so as to really dose them with C02.
The mystery seedling overstretched immediately and has not been impressive at all....we'll see...It's getting super-dosed with blues and whites, so maybe...
TUESDAY: dry day....foliar feedings only. Dropped the 3 CC's into wet paper towel...fingers crossed.
WEDNESDAY (July 4th): All 3 CC's popped! 2 had 3/4" tap roots, so they got planted. The other will get planted in the morning.
Having learned my lesson from the WW's that didn't make it to the light of day, I created a mix of 60% vermiculite + 30% perlite and 10% happy frog and created "pockets" for my new seedlings in the center of 5 g pots.
I mixed up a 1-gallon batch of 1/2 strength nutes and fed everybody.
Mystery seedling is still pathetic..
