Good evening everyone, it’s the start... my seeds arrived today and man was I ready for them.
For those who missed my introduction tread a week or so ago, pop over and have a look. Gone into detail of my set up and intended growing methods. But I’ll list what I’m using and what I’m growing for the lazy ones.
Custom built insulated grow room 4x5x7ft
Lined with orca grow film
Using a single GN TELOS 0010 300w LED grow light.
4 inch extraction and carbon filter.
Wick watering in 11L Pots
Coco canna and vermiculite media
Canna ab and rhizotonic
(Will bet a bloom booster shortly)
Seeds planted:
1x Pineapple Express auto
1x purple haze auto
2x northern lights auto
2x critical auto.

:pimp:
looking to keep things very simple for first few grows and find my feet. Have an extremely busy life so need to let them do their thing:smokeit: but I’m going to be doing weekly updates and pictures (probably a few emergency posts along the way for when the shit hits the fan and and fuck it up.... begging for help and advice:yoinks:) I’m pretty confident I can get a decent first grow done plenty of chilli plants in my time :fire:.
Soaked my seeds in weak rhizotonic solution for a couple of hours and popped them in pre soaked coco right next to my wicks and covered tops of pots with cling film to help keep humidity up until they sprout . Temp is a steady 24c. And lights will be off for a day or 2.I’ll try to write a more entertaining entry next time.:sleeping: It’s late kids don’t allow for lay ins so knocked this one out quick. I’ll be back when something happens.... oh a quick note is the trays are my nute tanks but just using them to catch runoff after media soak.

Hi. I’ll pull up a chair and follow along. Welcome:welcome:
 
Hi everyone:bighug:. after an anxious few days finally came home to see some sprouts in my room. I knew I was worried about nothing... first grow n’all.
4 of my six have popped up through the coco. After 5 days:yay:.Just the pineapple and a critical to go. (Less worried about them now iv seen progress.)
Had a a heart stopping moment on Tuesday, got home from work and my grow room was 42 c :hothot:
For god knows how long. (Up to 12 hours) started using the light that day and I think I had the rad up a bit high. But I got my silencer built pronto (more on that at weekend) and got the fan running every time I went in since it’s a steady 26c and decent humidity. I had genuinely thought I cooked 20 quids worth of seeds. But I figured I had nothing to loose leaving them till the weekend when I had time to prep more seeds. (My partner was moaning iv been in my grow room before I went in house and see her everyday after work this week this week pfft prioritised :smoker1::smoker1:)Now it seems I may not have to at all should the last 2 sprout in next few days. Nothing like the feeling when you get away with fucking up something and turns out fine anyway. Got a free lesson there! I’ll get pictures up by the weekend when had the chance to develop a bit.
Quick answer to some questions. @iampepe Iv been checking ph yep out the tap at around 7.9 got it down to 6.3 with some distilled white vinegar. After the rhizotonic micro dosage raised it.(Used with chillis in the past no problem)
@archie gemmill. it’s a real battle to not worry but I did a good job of not dicking about too much after I they went in patience, patience, patience.
Anyone got grow northern tag on this site? want to see if they’d help me along with my lights as I go. Or any other know telos growers?

Back at some point at the weekend :cooldance:

Iv got 6 going as planned going now. Started some blueberry mango and lemon to fill the gaps. did most things the same in regard to germination except soaked the seeds for 12 hours as opposed to 3 hours. Definitely works better popped up days faster. One last night when I looked and the other tonight when I looked.both already starting on second set of leaves. Although a fuck up on my part leaves me no way to what plant is which out the new ones.
Only one point of concern for me is that one of my criticals is slightly yellow on 1 seed leaf and the tip of an actual leaf. Other 5 are fine.
I also installed an 16inch fan on back wall, behind the light. Installed it without the front and back guard as it was so loud with. Also put rubber matting between bracket and the wall, that made it quieter.
Hope you all get a crop in for Christmas :smokeout:
 
And incase you were winding what became of the duds I scooped them out and both look like a swollen version of what went in. Had them in water from Saturday until tonight then chucked them after no change.
