and I'm looking forward to your fun too.lol

Thank you, that's nice - my first blunt will be dedicated to 420 Magazine Grow Community!

I should start thinking about ventilation. Heat won't be a worry as this place is freezing cold - I keep the thermostat at 60 degrees! (I'm a cheap bastard) I can put the ballast in the room behind the grow room which is the basement - this place is a split. As I have a dehumidifier running in the summer there, strange buzzing won't attract attention. Maybe I'll vent to there, too. i'll figure out some cheap way of neutralizing odor, with vinegar, maybe. And then use the vinegar with soda for CO2 production.

OMG! wheeling out the heavy cannons! Nothin' we all can't do.

I saw this on the web for CO2 production -
Excellofizz CO2 pucks
Has anyone used these?
BTW, someone made a vinegar drip with a screw-tightened regulator - I have to go back and find who made that and give due props. BRB

Hi Tiger Balm,
I have used Fox Farm Nutes with great results.
I have never used OS, BB, or CC, but I would advise some caution with them.
Your room looks awesome!
Much Luck to you.

 

[Tiger Balm]

Thank you, cocoJoe. Yeah, if I understand correctly, those add-on nutes are for a week or two each, and not much even then. I should re-read everyone's grow journals, and this time make notes.

Tiger Balm do not know if you have this info? .... https://foxfarmfertilizer.com/soilfeed.pdf

 

[Tiger Balm]

That's awesome! Am printing that out. Thanks!

Well, I'm bummed the seeds haven't sprouted. As of yesterday, they have been soaking 24 hours, and only 2 seeds have shown any signs of life - on each, one side of the seam has swelled, so i put them in the rapid root potting plugs. The others i put in wet paper towels.
Maybe i'll send away for more seeds - I saw an excellent recommendation (damn, forgot who) for sativa Satori from Mandala;

High: a clear, cerebral high and strong potency sets in quickly; it supports concentration & creativity; very inspiring and stimulating. Ideal for writers, artists, musicians, or other creative people.
THC: 23-28%
Potency: 9-10/10; long-lasting; no nervous side-effects (racy heart,etc.); suitable for regular med users, or persons with high THC-tolerance.
Aroma: fruity-citrus, pungent.
Medical Use: Satori shows her therapeutic potential in relieving depression and anxiety; this strain can ease sleep disorders from auto-immune diseases and Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).

Whats up tiger, sorry to hear of your misfortune. Hope you have better luck with the next batch!

I soak seeds for 24 hrs only. If there are seeds that haven't cracked, i'll carefully hand crack them and plant them in coco. I used to soak seeds until they cracked, however long that would take, but not any longer. I changed my evil ways. Who says people can't change.
Much Luck!

 

[Tiger Balm]

Thanks, Kwsmoke, that's the price for scrounging seeds outta the cracks in the cupboard. Well, just lost only a couple of days. And set-up isn't totally done - need ventilation. Thanks for the sympathy.

 

[Tiger Balm]

Whoa, cocoJoe! i love evil ways. Am going now to *encourage* the ladies!

Plant in coco - do you mean cocoa coir? Thanks.

 

[Tiger Balm]

Damn, I meant coconut coir.

Here's a question - I want to order seeds from a site which says they won't fill orders from the US - for real?

 

[Setting Sun]

Some seed banks will and some won't.

Some of our sponsor seed banks will ship to the US. Attitude and Worldwide are two of our sponsors who do.

 

[Tiger Balm]

Thanks, Setting Sun. What f^cked up priorities.

Hi, Yes, coco coir.

 

[Tiger Balm]

Well, the seeds aren't showing viability so I ordered Santori from Mandala through sponsor Dope-Seeds.com a British source. I have been notified that the seeds are in the mail as we speak.
This growing attempt is not over!
