Hello all and welcome to my grow journal!
Let's get the basics out the way quick...
Fusion grow tent - 3 X 3 X 6,5
Custom Horticultural Ceramic Metal Halide lamp
2 gallon Hempy buckets
Small fan blowing on lamp ballast to keep it cool
Stealth F6 exhaust fan with speed controller, attached to light timer
Nutes are Osmocote Plus added in layers in the Hempy buckets
FloraGro will be added at 1ml/L till roots hit res
Watering will be with R.O. water ph'd to 6.0
Strains chosen for this grow are:
Auto Trainwreck - Had some issues with germination so it is a week behind the others...
Auto Blackberry Kush
Auto Bomb Berry
Purple Mazar
Lights are on a 18 on, 6 off schedule.
Seeds dropped in water on the 7th of October 2016.
Then for some reason i placed them directly into peat cubes...
I ALWAYS do the paper towel method and skipped it this time for some reason. This is the reason the Trainwreck is a week behind....
Either way on the 9th of October the Blackberry and Mazar were just breaking the surface of the peat cubes!
On the 10th the Berry Bomb broke the surface of the cube.
I use a seedling heat mat for germination and a humidity dome, so the peat cubes with their precious inhabitants were transferred to their new home. They also have a CFL providing light.
Later on the 10th i placed the 3 that had sprouted into small pots with a soil/perlite mix with perlite on the bottom, about a 1/2 inch or so. They are then placed into a deepish tub with water in the bottom, kind of like mini Hempy i guess. Cling wrap on top and the CFL for a few more days.
I moved them into the tent when their first set of leaves were nice and big, no more cover on top.
On the 11th i checked the Trainwreck seed and it had rotted in the peat cube...
Sprouted some more the correct way and chose the strongest one to be moved into the peat cube routine.
Seedlings are doing great under the light with no stress at all!
On the 15th the Trainwreck sprouted and went through the peat pellet process again...
On the 16th it was transplanted into a small pot with the soil/perlite mix.
On the 22nd of October, TODAY, they were all transferred to their final Hempy Bucket!
I let them dry out a bit and buried the stems and the soil core in the Hempy bucket.
Watered with ph'd water with 1ml/l of FloraGro.
So that brings us all up to date!
Next post will be some pics of the material, equipment and the girls in the tent!
Any thoughts, comments, help etc will be awesome!
Great to be back again!
Pic of the girls in their new homes, taken about 30 minutes after transplanting!
