Indoor Big Buddha S.A.S Newbie Grow Journal

[marlon_asher]

Seeds from Big Buddha
Automatic, 8 weeks to harvest from seed

Planted in : Flood & Drain setup, rockwool cubes

Lights : Currently 1 x 600w Metal Halide

Nutes : Dutch Pro A + B, Take Root and Multi Total. Added on Day 6 (as I was waiting for PH and EC tester to arrive, all in distilled water til then). Lights on a 18/6 cycle.

I put 10 seeds which 'popped' overnight in rockwell cubes on Sunday morning and the shoots had all come through, bar 1, about 8 hours later. The one that did not push through the seed shell died 2 days later.

I put 10 more seeds that also popped overnight in on Tuesday morning. 2 days later and none had pushed through the shells except one. It seemed they were struggling, and scared they might die like the one in the first batch, I attempted surgery on all of them.

They all survived and are looking healthy . Pics at day 7 (5 for the second batch)

I forgot to mention I got 2 sets of twins in the first batch. Is this a good or bad thing?

When did you put it in? You should do a log. It would be very interesting to see how they compare while growing and when finished.

Thanks man. Will update as soon as there are some changes worth showing.

Nice marlon, and welcome to AFN. On those twins, what ya do, accidentally drop a second seed in there. Can you separate them without killing them both. If not, I'd kill which ever one is growing slower.

Maybe I should have been a bit clearer when I said twins. I got Siamese twins lol! 1 seed, 2 sprouts. I dont know if I can separate or even if its a good thing! Maybe when they're older and stronger?

**UPDATE**

Batch 1 Day 10
(Batch 1 are the first 9, starting at the top right)


The twins



Batch 2 Day 8
(10 starting from bottom left)





Batch 1 & 2 Next to each other




The 2nd batch on day 8 are not looking as good as the first batch on day 7. I wonder if that's due to me having to take most of them out of the shells myself.

I've had to move my grow as it was found by a fire safety inspector. I may also have to move house. On the plus side, the plants missing about 6 hours of light and sitting outside for 4 hours doesn't seem to have affected them.

Batch 1 Day 12



Batch 2 Day 10



The twins



1 & 2 side by side

IMO...no Bro..if they are siamese the area you would open to infection would kill them anyway....

Good Luck on them..I would Love to see them fully grown..
