New Grower It's about time..Dutch Passion and ChilLED grow light

:biggrin::biggrin:Today is 8-11-2017. I have 3 ladies who have broken through to the lights. The other are very close to singing in the sunshine. I will call this DAY 1.

On a couple of seeds I may have planted them a bit shallow in the coco, just my gut feeling. The coco is drying out on the surface as it should. I am resisting the URGE to water them a bit more. But I keep telling myself not to worry and be happy. I know I must follow the plan, so I will think thoughts of 7 oz flowers.

Just in case I raised the light to 58" from the top of the coco. I turned off the fan for a few days and it is still off. The temps went to 75F and the RH was at 55% this AM. So I think the higher temps with higher RH is good. Tho the coco is drying out.....think 7oz plants, think 7 oz plants........ Ok I am better.

I have dropped another seed. Just one, just in case, error on the side of caution and don't be rash....... 7 oz

It is an Ultimate. I know they can get huge but I feel some will not make it. Oh the panic, fear of failure. I laugh at myself to having these fears. Never thought I would. Yet they lay in wait and nag me some of the time.

So not much more to say. I'll keep this current.
Thanks for dropping in.

PS I can not get over how SMALL they look. 7 oz 7 oz:woohoo1:


Hey Nosias, don't forget that good things come in small packages! :growing:

Once you get that setup dialed in you're gonna have more bud than you know what to do with!

Thanks for the pep rally :clapper:


I was just in the garden and two :woody: :woody: more have popped. So I guess I will now call this day one as I now have 5 :headbang:. SO day one is 8-12-2017:baby::baby::baby::baby::baby:

I am still not running the fan and filter in the tent. Temp is 77 F and 52% RH. I am so happy that good things come in small packages. You know I must be WAY out of touch with the size on the seeds, but I will shut up. Now that are growing up.:biggrin:

Don't be afraid to mist the surface of the coco to keep it moist - just not soggy. The temp is good humidity can be higher up to around 70%.

Thats right Misting IS adding water. Good thing my sweetie bought a small spray bottle. I will now claim it as my domain and give them a light misting.
 
Today is day 2
8-13-2017

I have not killed them. That is the best news I can possibly give. The temp is staying at 70-77 F and RH is 50 - 55%. The ChilLED 400w light is still 58 inches from the top of the coco. It is set to VEG mode at 50% power at full spectrum. I have added no water to any of the AutoPots.
The next watering will be on day 5, 8-16-2014. This is when the first nutrients are provided to the ladies.

I have 5 sprouts. One of the Dutch Passion Blackberry Kush was planted wrong, yes by me. :what?:The root tap is growing in a 360 degree direction. I have "replanted" it but I have little hope of its grow. As I mentioned I have a Dutch Passion Ultimate in a paper
towel. So when she is ready I will plant her. :smoker:

Here are some shots. Be warned they are not the best. I will use a tripod next time.:photog:

Here is a Dutch Passion Blackberry Kush

They are all looking healthy and green. On two of the plants there was some seed casing material holding the two round leaves together. The shell had fallen but they were still clamped shut. So I carefully removed this blockage. They did like my help.:cheersmate:

Any ? or comments are always welcomed.

The other Dutch Passion Blackberry Kush did not make it. I planted it wrong as the root did a 360 degree circle. In it's place I planted a Dutch Passion Ultimate. I know this can be a monster, I can only hope :tonic:. This DPU had developed a 1 inch root in two days. So we shall see.

@Mañ'O'Green has said to lower the lights. I appreciate everyones input. I will be leaving for a few days this week so I am cautious about any change. I will drop it to 42" and turn up the ChilLED 400w to 100% power. It is still in Veg mood. Thanks for your thoughts Man'O'Green.
