[HubbaBubba]

Lets try something crazy: Keep It Super Simple... a low maintenance grow, with tomato plant food.


STRAIN: Sour Crack
SOIL: Peat moss + 10% vermiculite
CONTAINER: 15 liter Superoots Air Pot (holds 13.6 liters of soil)
LIGHTS: 24 hrs...56 actual watts CFL, cool blue 6500k, placed 2 inches away. After 2 weeks switch to Grownorthern HS1 LED
NUTES: tomato food... Dyna-gro Foliage Pro 9-3-6 for vegetative growth, Texas Tomato Food for Flower, silicon

no grow light cycles,
no mixing bottles of A & B,
no Ph adjustments,
no calmag,
no force feeding,
no flushing.....
Just the put the seed in soil, add water, good food and lots of patience.

The seedling will graduate to a GrowNorthern HS1 LED light after two weeks.
Right now the temp is 32 Celsius, yes I know that is sacrilegious, that is just for vegetative growth. I will drop the temp before she starts flowering.

Here she is 5 days ago, she came up with a helmet head (seed coat still attached). So I kept the seed coat moist until it was soft enough to pull off.

Good question, she will get Dynagro Foliage Pro 9-3-6 - Liquid Fertilizer at about 0.7 EC for veg growth.

After the first sign of flowers she will get Texas Tomato food at about 1.2 EC. Some professional tomato growers swear it makes a measurable difference. Lets find out if Mephisto plants like it.

Day 1

cotyledons open and 1st true leaves visible. I am a happy guy!

Day 2

You can see that square shape of the Root Riot cube.
This is the first time I tried Root Riots and probably the last.
It is wonderful spongy stuff, but I don't like the way it drys out and contracts different than the surrounding soil. That seems like it makes the seedling jump across an air barrier. I don't want anything slowing down the roots!

In the future I will plant the seed directly in the soil.

Day 4

A strong healthy girl, second set of leaves are visible. if something goes wrong after this point it is all my fault.

Hey, are those tiny little trichomes? Maybe I should chop and vape her now. Ha ha
