Figured I would start a new thread since my old grow journal was tainted with two fails in a row!
Growing a World of Seed's Afghan Kush Ryder, along with a La Diva from Delicious Seeds. Ordered 3 AKR's from Herbies, muffed up the first two, luckily the LD came as a freebee. A little redemption. Curious to see this strain, since it is a bonus essentially.
Germed AKR with a wet paper towel until she cracked and into a jiffy pellet she went, along with the LD as well, except I germed her by a 24 hour soaking in water. The pellets went into a small humidity dome, placed on top of a heat mat in the dark. I placed a small towel in between the mat and dome, concerned about heat problems. As a first timer who failed at his first two seeds I cannot say more that EVERY first timer should use jiffy pellets with a humidity dome! Easy as pie man. Here is the dome.
The girls cracked and sprouted in 48 hours (they are about one day off of eachother). As soon as their shells were shed they were transplanted into their final home. The AKR is in a 2.5 gallon airpot, the LD into a 2 gallon normal pot. Both filled with Lambert LM3 mix, with some sulfer (1/4 teaspoon each) mixed in to lower the ph. (The mix sits at 7.0 as is.) Pre-mixed, and pre-soaked both, 24 hours prior to transplant. Popped on a 23 watt CFL on each. Here is the AKR the day of transplant.
And after 24 hours of that added a 45 watt CFL in the middle. I will end up with four 45 watt CFL's when vegging starts.
Here is the LD on day #2 of transplant.
Here is the AKR on day #3 of transplant.
You see my area has mylar all over, clamps for the CFL's, and ((secret weapon)) ExHale CO2 Bag above the girls. Using reverse osmosis water from Wally World, and will be using the trio of Fox Farm nutes (Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom) when the time comes.
Thanks for ALL THE INFO and helpful admins, and fellow posters, on helping me through this process.
