Sweet Seeds Sweet afgani delicious X3

One more time. It has taken me a week but I now have three plants. I have planted six seeds and lost three. This is not how I normally start a grow. First let me say I do not blame Sweet Seeds, when I got the seeds from Herbies I thought, these seeds don't look good, if I were in the store I would not pick these seeds. They were almost bleached looking, like they had been in the sun too long. I should have returned them, but since Herbies never sent my free seeds I just bent over and took it. Anyway I am now sure I will be able to complete this grow.

These seeds never opened correctly and just died after a day or so.

The tent is 2'X4'X7' with a 6 inch duct booster fan and carbon filter for extraction and two 6 inch clip-on fans for circulation. Lights will be two bs240uv's for veg and my old Mars 100X3 added for bloom. Three 3 gallon airpots with Pro-mix BX for a medium and almost all the Fox Farm dirty dozen with Sensi cal/mag extra for nutes.

Everything is going well, in fact so well maybe I did screw up. One issue with being stoned 24/7, 365 is that short term memory loss really isn't short term, is it. Anyway, there's about four days difference between the plants so they will be getting treated differently for a while. Each plant gets plain water, 6.5ph, until day eight when they get a gallon of 4ml cal/mag at 6.5ph. At about day 14 the plant will get it's first feeding of FF at about half what I normally give. The oldest plant, far right, got cal/mag Wednesday and the plant on the far left got cal/mag this morning and the center plant will get theirs' next week. I moved my old Mars 100X3 into the tent and will be turning it on when the buds start developing in a few weeks. I really do know what I am doing, I am just really not sure about what I have done, ha ha. The leds are at about 18 inches.

It's day 14 for the larger plant on the right, day 10 for the plant on the left and day 7 for the center plant. The plant in the center got a gallon of 4ml cal/mag at 6.6ph last night and the plant on the right got a gallon of 10ml big bloom and 2.5ml each of grow big, kangaroots, microbe brew, kelp me at 6.5ph this morning. I don't remember a seedling that started with such a pale green color but the color improves with the first feeding so maybe these seeds like a richer medium. I make the remark about color because I pre-treated the medium two weeks before planting with a mixture of 10ml each of kangaroots, microbe brew and kelp me at 6.8ph, pro-mix bx was 5.8ph in the bag. The plants are getting nice stem development and branch structure. Leds' are at 18in.

It has only been a few days but I thought the quick change in color and growth is very good. Today the plant on the left got 1 gallon of 10ml big bloom and 2.5ml grow big, microbe brew, kangaroots and kelp me per gallon at 6.6ph. Leds are at 18 inches.

Day 19 for the oldest and this morning she got 2 gallons of 8 ml cal/mag per gallon at 6.6 ph, with over a half gallon of run-off. Hopefully this will help keep the salt from building up so quickly in the medium from the FF nutes. The stem and branches still look strong and I hope this growth rate continues.
