Photoperiod Yozhik grows Greenhouse Seeds The Church CBD

[Yozhik]

Not the grow I intended to morph into, but ... needs must.

So here's the tentative plan.

12 plants in Autopots.
Only 10 x The Church CBD have been germinated so far; primarily due to doing 12 was a very recent decision.

Coco will be the medium

Nutrifield are the nutrients of choice for this grow, with the addition of Mammoth P

Lights will be combination of 315W CMH and COB strips with 4 x Cree CBX3590.
Plants are being germinated under the Daylight CMH with the 4200K PHILIPS MASTERCOLOUR DAYLIGHT CDM-TMW Elite 315W/942

DAY 1

 

[Yozhik]

10 out of 10 germinated.

1 has since chucked it in.
The cotyledons never developed, nor opened.

So 9 [thus far] are viable.
Only concern is how ridiculously stretchy and lanky some of them are.

DAY 3

9 babies still viable.
Lanky as hell.
6 of the 9 have required some support already.

Simple feeding regime of tap water pH'd to 6,0.
Tap water here has EC of 0,5.

3 more have been given the Paper Towel Germination Treatment, to bring total potential girls up to 12.

COMMENTS;

BIG MOVE today.
The girls were gagging for some root space, now that they have completely filled their rockwool homes.
Into the Auto Pot XL they go.

One week of hand watering should do it, then the pots will be spread out.
At that point, lights and floor space will be doubled.

Right now, they have 2 x CMH 315W @ 4200K down low, and 3 x 205W COB strips (4 x Cree CBX3590) @ 350K raised high for supplemental flood lighting.
What the last grow taught me is that both the CMH and COB lights have their strengths.
I figure together, they potentially could be a killer combo - the CMH up close, and personal, with the added COB intensity for insane vegetative explosion.

So once the Auto Valves are ready to be activated, the Auto Pots will be spread out to their final resting spots, and the space will have 4 x CMH and 6 x COB.
It's already bright in there, so can't wait to see how she looks with ALL the sun gods switched on.

What I've done for this grow is removed the shell of the grow tent, and left the frame standing, to use as a light and equipment scaffold.
Means i can create a lot more grow space by extending to the edges of the tent footprint, without the tent itself encroaching.
The lower section of the room measures about 3,5m x 3.8m, with a small rise of about 3" to a second floor space, which is the ideal height differential for the gravity fed Auto Pot system to do its thing.

not entirely sure how one over waters, in coco, in auto pots ... but I managed it.
