Hello peoples
here we go again then, hope you are all well n good, this is the start of my full journal this time and 2nd grow, gotta be 6/8 weeks since finishing my 1st plant, I’ve been itching to get back to it with another grow, . I went to insulate my loft and noticed some dodgy rafters, which turned out to be very heavily split, got some roofers in for that, but it meant I had to dismantle and pack down my entire grow from the loft into my bedroom, being in the uk I’m not taking any chances, so when they finished in my loft I went back up and insulated my roof in 40degree heat, rock wool sweat isn’t the best lol then I cored out two 4 inch holes in my wall, attached a fan to one hole , so I now have a direct air supply from outside into my loft or straight into tent if it’s a hot day, and the other hole is for exhaust. Job done. Now to get everything back in the loft and set up once again. Job done. These changes have given my loft a much better environment which reflects inside the tent massively, I can keep my temps down on a hot day and there much more stable through the day,not to sure if pollen will be an issue drawing air in from outside, we shall see.
So on with the show, same set up as before, 2 five gallon root pouches, eco thrive lite coco, 70/30 perlite and full line of canna nutes.
ive chosen to grow strawberry pie this time from fastbuds. Same led, my little Trojan viparspectra p2000
Off they go
The usual damp paper towel no pre soak of beans, in a tub on top of fridge, hey presto , works every time. 30 hours later B-BOOM
would of liked them a bit longer but a little something called earning a living got in the way , how rude. Lol so I went ahead and potted them.
“mission control we have lift off” DAY ONE .
Nice that they both came up together, bonus .
Last grow I probably let my coco get too dry in the first 2 weeks so this time round I pre rinsed/soaked my coco with 5 litres of 50/50 tap water and bottled water some cal mag and rhiztonic also added. Each pot gave me 1 1/2 litre run off, I let the pots sit in the tent with lights and fans running, obviously I didn’t want wet coco for seedlings, neither do I want dry coco while waiting for a mature enough plant to fully water, who knows if this will work I may slow down root growth by having damp coco, but all seems good so far.
looking Forward to this grow with what I’ve learnt from my first attempt, ec and ppm ect will be much more consistent, and now more control of my environment. My starting water is 0.5 so I’m gonna continue to cut it 50/50 with bottled water for the entire grow, this takes my start to 0.3, a lot more manageable. And I’m generally feeling a Lot more comfortable with this grow.
I only ended up with one plant last time, so far both are surviving this time and I’m planning on topping and scrogging this time round, more new stuff to learn, could get interesting.
well thanks peeps, it’s good to be growing again and back in the game. Stay safe and stay tuned for more Strawberry Highs.
