Starting Grow Journal

[JDwinell]

Hello so I'm journaling my grow and I'm germinating seeds and getting ready to put them into rapid rooters then going to put them into 3 gallon fabric pots filled with coco loco and amended coco potting mix.i am right now using cal mag bush doctors to treat 1 gallon spring water with 1.5 ml. I am going to pre soak my 3 gallon coco loco pots to insure it has enough cal and mag...anyone have any experience growing indoors with coco loco not Coco perlite!!!;anyway any and all help would be appreciated..thinking of keeping my ppm on the soak around 350 ish no more than 400 tops..is that ok??? Thank you all God nless

Just put my seedlings in rapid rooters a d put under 2 true150 watt full spectrum led lights and I have them probably 3+ feet or more from seedlings...will be transplanting into coco loco 3 gallon fabric pots and I just pre soaked them in 3ml per gallon of cal mag. Any help advice would be appreciated as I'm a newbie with no experience growing in coco loco at all and minimal over all experience in general thank you...

Why are you using 1/3 of the recommended amount per gallon?

I do not grow in coco coir or any coco mix soil but I am thinking that the best thing is to stick with the amount the company recommends. As long as any experienced coco users recommend putting the cal-mag in right after the seeds sprout use the recommended dose.

 

[JDwinell]

It is not Coco but an amended potting mix with coco included..

Same thing applies. Best to use the amount recommended unless there is a really good reason to go with less.

 

[JDwinell]

I will definitely take your advice into consideration my friend thank you

 

[JDwinell]

Just planted another Sour OG photo seedling into rapid rooters to root fully before being transplanted into 3 gal fab pots coco loco amended potting mix pre soaked in weak cal mag solution

 

[JDwinell]

Awesome 3 of 4 seedlings above ground and looking nice to me!!!

My youngstaz!!! Hindu Kush + Sour Og

Well woke at 6 a.m an hour before lights come on and checked on my seedlings and also checked on my seeds that I'm attempting to germinate still...the 3 are above ground and seem to be doing good I've put a small amount of ph 5.9 water in bottom of tray and let them drink from bottom to encourage roots to grow down...hopefully the 4th will emerge today above ground and also hopefully a few more seeds may germinate to increase the plant population and ultimately increase my yield and variety..as I'm attempting to germinate 2 strains I currently do not have(Duct tape,Sour Diesel) ..but no luck with them yet....

Nice start to you grow journal @JDwinell

It won't be long now.
If you don't mind I will stick around for a while?

Stay safe, and grow well my friend,
Tok..

 

[JDwinell]

Yes your more than welcome to come along with me on this grow trip!

 

[JDwinell]

Well I just decided to put rest of seeds in rapid rooter along with the full grown seedlings hoping they'll come up ..sone had small taproots so I'm optimistic for some at least..I now have a total of 8 possible plants consisting of 4 strains...Hindu Kush, Sour Og, Sour Diesel, Duct tape. Anyway I put plastic covering on top of rooters home after first covering the hole with small piece of rapid rooter to keep dark for germination..wish me luck!!!

 

[JDwinell]

Update* getting close to transplanting seedlings in rapidrooters into 3 gal fabric pots...got 3 that should be ready very soon as well as another shortly behind his sister and a new one is poking it's seed head above ground and will be eagerly waiting for her to shoot up quickly..I also have another 3 Duct tape strain that are as of yet not sprouted but I still have faith and hope that they will survive and thrive!!! I'm growing in coco loco potting mix which is an amended nutrient rich potting mix with plenty of coco coir for water retention and aeration..this is my first full grown using this exact method so I'd love advice feedback etc... God bless!

 

[JDwinell]

O yes fyi in using 2 150 true watts full spectrum led's.. one has a dimmer and cover and the other is a more basic option with same true power output and basically identical ppfd footprints...

 

[JDwinell]

Hoping the rest will pop survive and thrive..the back row got me a little worried tbh..

 

[JDwinell]

Not to much to update but just to document the process here's the low down 4 above ground one on the verge..and 3 I'm hoping will germinate...all 3 duct tape strain are not showing any strong signs yet but there is still hope..we shall see..here's a pic...
