What up AFN ? It's been a long time !
I didn't really post anything recently on this board, because i tried a Regular Grow Serie (Some Barneys Farm Cookie Kush x Liberty Haze). I totally screwed up this one by the way... My plants did not handle the switch from HPS to LED at flowering stage. I made few other mistakes, not to mention. I felt like a blue.
I know now what i did wrong, and what i did right. So i decided to make things a lot more easier for me: grow plants i already know. Bought some Pineapple Express (One of the best weed i've tasted, and my favorite plant so far) and some Blackberry (Never tried it, but looked deliciouuuus) from @FastBuds, .
And here we are, for a brand new grow serieeeee !
I didn't really felt the need of having a journal, but when i started, i mainly learned from those logs. It felt obvious to share this trip with all of you, and why not share some tricks together.
ASSETS:
- 1x 90x60x180cm Mylar Super-Box
- 1x Roleadro (Galaxy Hydro) 600W LED
- 3x Pineapple Express
- 3x Blackberry
- 6x 50cl cups
- 6x 11L pots
- Master Grower Nutrient Pack (Roots, Veg, Flower, Bloom)
GERMINATION:
- Hydration 1: Soak in water for a 24h
- Hydration 2: Soak in wet towel for 48h
SEEDLING:
- Planted the seeds in the 6 50CL cups (holes at the bottom for water)
- Popped out of soil 24h after being planted
- Counting DAY 1 from opened shell.
- Fed the girls with few drops of Master Grower Xtra Root at 6.5ph.
Why 6.5, because 6.8 might be a little to hight.
Only fed the girls twice, the first was really gentle, no nutes involved. The second had the drops and was a little more efficient.
SUNDAY - 14MAY (DAY 8)
So today is their 8th birthday, the soil was a little dry so i decided to give them another round of water. This time i used 4 drops of veg nute into my solution. Nothing too hard for them. I'm just trying to give them all they need to go through the 2 first weeks.
MUST READ:
If you are, like me, using LED to light your plants and don't wanna screw up your grow. Please, be aware that the feeding schedule is not the same as you would with an HPS. The main reason, is the environment itself. With HPS lights, you are generating a LOT of heat, drying out the air in your room, and the soil in your pot. So your plant is basically using more water to stay hydrated, and healthy. But LED lights are changing all of that. These lights are not generating a lot of heat, but they are hot enough too raise humidity in your room slowing down the soil from drying out. Which basically mean that your feeding schedules, depending on your environment, might be slower, adding 1-to-3 days between 2 feeds (3-5days). Please do not mess with it.

Your going to love the Blackberry Kush! Mine blew me away in both smell and buzz. It's now my favorite strain, but I hear lots off good things about Pineapple Express too. My next seed purchase will include PE and West Coat OG! Anyways, hope you don't mind if I tag along!
