I'm a new cannabis grower (been growing regular veggies for a few years), so I've been documenting my grows pretty closely, and figured I might as well post them to keep things organized and get some feedback. My first grow of 2 x Pineapple Express Autos & 3 x Afghani Autos (both from Grower's Choice) is wrapping up with pretty mediocre results, so this grow is a redemption challenge for me.
I'm gonna be growing 4 strains from feminized seeds I popped within the last few weeks. I plan on vegging the plants out, taking clones, flowering most of the clones, while treating one clone of each strain with gibberellic acid to herm them and get some seeds.
My seedling / early veg setup is as follows:
- 4'x4'x4' insulated box with mylar sheeting positioned inside to form an ~2.5'x2.5' grow space
- 1 x Spider Farmer SF-1000 light
- 1 desk fan running inside the box for circulation, set high enough to cause gentle movement of the plants' leaves
Temps have been in the 70's with humidity around to 50%
I'm running Fox Farms Coco Loco soil, first in solo cups, then 1 gallon white pots, then 7 gallon smart pots. The fertilizer I'm using is Jack's Hydroponics at a 31 ratio, though I plan on playing around with adding MKP, Urea, Ammonium Phosphate, Potassium Silicate, and maybe Humic Acid. I'm also going to amend my soil with azomite in case the nutrient formulations I make are lacking micro.
Here are some pics of the plants as of today (1/15/20), the small ones poked out of the soil between the 11th and the 12th, so they're about 3 days old.
World of Seeds - Northern Lights x Big Bud
This guy took the longest to germinate at 3 days. All my seeds were soaked in ~ 50/50 R/O + tap water for 12 hours at about 80f, then transferred to paper towels in bags with the same water / temps. The seed for this plant fell out of the paper towel somehow, and stayed drier than the other seeds for about 12 hours, which I believe slowed it's germination.
Canuck Seeds - Do-Si-Dos
This one had the seed case stuck to it when it popped, and took a little damage as I removed it.
Canuck Seeds - Original Skunk #1
A little yellowing on one of the leaves there, not sure what it's from but I'm not particularly concerned.
Grower's Choice Seeds - "Mexican Haze" (It's a cross of a few different Mexican landraces, but don't think it has any actual Haze in it)
Day 1 for her was 12/26, and as you can see she's been topped, trimmed, and transplanted (not in that order).
This grow setup is definitely lacking in a few areas, and as such the plants are only going to be in there temporarily. My grow room is still under construction, as of right now I have a fairly operational flower room (I'll post some pics of that later when the lights come on), but there's still a lot of unused space I have plans for.
