Hello green people,
This is my first proper grow journal and FIRST auto grow...
After talking to the guys at Dinafem I went with Moby Dick xxl and Haze xxl (still waiting for these seeds though). It’s great when a seed or soil company has time to communicate with even the smallest customers.
Seedling room setup:
1x led light strip
1x13w T5
5x15 LED bulbs (1300lumen 4000k)
~~8500 lumen
3/3 beans sprouted after 24 hours so...
I made “transplant pots” and cut 75% away and dropped them into secondary pots.
10l pots 3/4 full with plagron Royal mix with some more perlite added and some handfuls of biobizz worm humus
At the top of the pots is a sphere of plagron light mix with extra perlite and then filled around with Royal mix.
I hope 10l will be sufficient for 2 weeks of veg at home.
Then when night temps are a bit higher I’m gonna put them in the ground.
There is terrible clay soil where I’m growing, so I’m gonna dig some pretty big holes in the ground and do some soil enriching...
I’m gonna drop in another 10-15l Royal mix into each hole
Here’s where I’m open to advice....
One idea: (i have about 30 l extra worm casting) so I was thinking of mixing worm castings and seabird guano and a lot of perlite into the native soil that will be surrounding the fresh royal mix I’m gonna put in
Or: (I have 40l of extra plagron light mix) so.... I could spice that up with the seabird guano, worm castings, and perlite and have that as the dirt on the edge of the holes
Spice up native clay soil or spice up light mix?
My theory is like subcool supersoil: the seeds will start in the light mix balls then after a week+ they will hit the royal mix then after another week I’ll put them in the ground and then when the roots reach a good size they will hit the p-k enriched soil when flowering starts...
