After some time off, I’m finally back to growing again. I was digging through the old stash when I found my Sawney Beans from a couplefew years ago. I gave them a 24 hour soak in water/h2o2 and planted directly into soil today.
I wish I would’ve gotten 3 more bags of soil for this bed. I only got 7 cu ft total. I didn’t expect the “60 gallon” bed to hold 75 gallons of soil but it looks like it clearly would have no problems holding a few more. Amazon lied to me.
I should’ve thought about it though, if it’s a 18" high that’s technically up to 12 cubic feet, 90 gallons. After this grow I’m gonna fill it with a few more bags at least.
I’ve been playing with the lights and the photon app trying to get the spread right, I get about 450 PPFD at the corners of the 2x4 with 18" hang height, and right at 700 in the center. Not a bad spread, at 14" it blasts 900+ in the center and reduces the corners sharply. Have it 24" above the soil now on full blast(mainly for the heat). It’s lookin’ to be around 350-400 ppfd over each seed spot.
Nah, I just threw down the straw a bit to keep it moist
I couldn’t tell you the exact spots of the seedlings now anyway. I watered them in pretty good lol. Probably will be a few more days before they sprout.
Can’t wait! Blue Moon is freaking beautiful! About as tasty as it gets with a perfect hybrid stone! The Blueberry really shines thru in a good way and the fade is like a sunset! All the colors from blue to gold to pink to purple!
You will def be in for a treat! Hopefully it will be so good you won’t ever go back really glad to have to have you back Homie! Stoked you got some plants going again! It’s just what’s right!
I remember she had some really fat leaves in the beginning and thru veg and when she started flowering her leaves thinned out a bunch with that more Sativa looking shape. I notice it in most strains, but this one the change was really extreme.
Don’t you just love that! I also hate culling plants for no reason, so if I can find room they will grow somewhere, sometimes in a solo cup, because why not lol
