Ol Dirty Ghost's Vanilla Kush Grow Journal - 2014 (1st Grow)
Strain - Vanilla Kush (Barney's Farm)
25 Days above soil currently (Vegetative stage)
Medium (Local Amish Soil Mix with perlite)
Lighting (3 6500k CFL's + 2 3000k CFL's) (Sorry I forgot the actual wattage on these)
Room Temp - 75 (f) Humidity (RO) 50%
I went from solo cups (14 day period after sprouting) Then proceeded to transplant to a 5 gallon bucket.
So this is my first official attempt at cultivating.. I honestly had no expectations so any progress at all is awesome! I have a small grow area around 3x2 (Extra Shower) With some CFL's rigged to my make shift reflector (Bake pan) & power strip.
I started off by germinating in a distilled glass of water sitting inside of my medicine cabinet for two nights.
After the taproot had came out I then put it in a bowl wrapped in a wet paper towel for two additional days with a pretty good success rate.
I initially had 3 plants with one of them dying about a week above soil & the other not popping :/
But luckily! One lone survivor had managed to make it.. & for that I'm satisfied lol
Seed Leaves wilted off which I'm assuming is normal from reading posts on here, but also a bottom pair of fan leaves wilted off too?? (Started prior to me transplanting to the 5 gal)
I put a quarter strength of FF's Grow Big waited a cpl days after that feeding & then switched to regular distilled water for that feeding & these things started to finally boom a bit
I haven't fed them in a about 4 days now, the top leaves seem to be curling a bit inward? Not sure if that's normal but now I just checked them today & seen some weird yellow / orange color on them :/ Hopefully a feed will solve it?.. Not sure honestly if I'm overfeeding or not I've scoured plenty of PDF's & these forums looking for solid watering (measurements + schedules) with not enough adequate information seeming that most info is opinionated.
In the end, this is all a learning experience regardless of my results
If you guys could provide any tips , recommendations etc It would very much appreciated.. Excuse my ignorance , I'm here to learn.
