3rd Grow: Sweet Zombie & Critical Kush, Promix HP, Flora Series, Armor Si, Koolbloom

Expert seeds : SWEET ZOMBIE (23% thc)
Barneys farm : CRITCAL KUSH (24% thc 2.1% cbd)

Had 10 zombie, 10 critical then 2 jack herrer and 2 chem dog that were free.

Had 24 seeds and every single one germed accept when I transferred to peat plugs, I pressed too hard one one of the critical and snapped the seed which fucked up the seedling. It's not growing a root. Oh well. 99% ain't bad.

Germinating Guide given to me by our local hydro store owner who's about 100 years old.

Step 1: put seeds in distilled water on a heat mat set to 24c

Step 2: the second you see a crack and the start of a tail dont put into wet paper towel, fuck all that shit. Cant stress enough how this step is half the reason everyone fucks up and has 60-80% germ rates. Too much fucking around with the seed. They are so delicate you stress it even a little bit and your cooked

(I followed buddies instructions and got 23 out of 24 seedlings. My first grow I got 4 out of 5 to sprout with paper towel. And second grow I got 6 out of 10 to sprout with paper towel. So he was obviously right.)

He also mentioned Dont use GH rapid routers for seeds as the nutrients in them can kill your smal seedling he said clones in rapid routers are fine.

Anyways off to a good start.
Humidity is usually 70% in dome but had cover off so reading lower)
Got em under a 240 watt quantum board 3500k with some far red chips (only on half power tho)

Will be using General Hydroponics flora series trip with RO water, cal Mag, armor si, and liquid and dry kool bloom.

My second grow will be done in about 20 days so seedlings should be ready to go into the big tent by then.

So the 9 Sweet Zombie from expert seeds are all the same height. Same size. multiple roots coming out of the peat plugs.........

The Barneys farm critical kush are a fucking disappointment. 5 are growing good, the other 4 are small, stunted weak ass phenos. And literally have one root coming out of the bottom, not multiple.


So in comparison from the SWEET ZOMBIES are some very strong and stable genetics at an early glance. .........

Critical kush not so much. I'll cut some clones from the best of each obviously and keep em going.

Oh then the 4 on the right are the 2 jack herer and 2 chem dog they chugging right along. Like it when the free bag seeds outperform the breeders packs

Some of them seedlinga were getting super stretchy. I think its genetics. Because the zombies with stretchy but really strong stems. The critical was weak stems and falling over so had to transplant. Made sure to burry those plugs to support the stem nicely.

All the zombie had tons of roots coming out of plugs. The critcal kush had none. Pissing me off because its gonna fall behind the zombie but what can you do. I'll grow SWEET ZOMBIE till the day I die. Just trying to find a good sibling for it that grows as fast.

Hydro store gave me a free bag of coco. Half husk, half coir. Ph neutral. Washed and shit. So decided to run that in solo cups.

Only reason I go with promix hp is its 15 bucks cheaper per bag for the same amount as coco. But I may decide to try coco see what all the fuss is about.

Made myself some air pruning solo cups.........very very expensive, high end equipment......

DAY 4 since first pistils

SILICA for the win.
Been using this stuff. Like 50% pure I think dont quote me.

Use the recomended 4.5ml per 5 gallons
Along with my cal mag, flora micro, grow and bloom.

Watering with half strength nutes one day and straight water and silica the next watering. And keep alternating. No nute burn. No deficiencies. Just a jungle

DAY 13: since pistils

Girls are doing good. Still on NUTE-WATER-NUTE-WATER program.
Ill be watering tommrow for the last time with POT. SILICA. The stretch should be done by the end of the week so shouldnt need the silica anymore.

Been using 7 mls per 5 gal of LIQUID KOOLBLOOM (pk booster) instead of the recommended 10ml
Because I was adding the pot. Silica didnt want to have my PK levels fucking everything.
once stop adding silica will continue with the 7mls of koolbloom until about week 6.

So far everything's great. The runts are doin ok.
Tons of bud sites and tops.
I Still laugh at the people fiming and topping and mainlining (and I used to be one)
Keep your lights close and the right genetics and never have to worry about that.......i mean look at that even canopy. Dont need no screen just more green baby.

Gonna need a big defoliation here in a few days
