Stratonite's - The Church - Coco - CFL Grow

[Stratonite]

Hi Guys,

Let's just say this is my first grow although... I have tried and failed before at seedling stage.

Below is my setup:

Space: grow tent 80cm X 80cm X 160cm
Grow medium: Coco Coir & Perlite mix
Lighting: 1 X 300watt Dual Spectrum CFL
Strain: "The Church" from Green House Seed Company
Method: Scrog
Nutes: Canna Coco but may use others on recommendation!

I am currently Germinating 2 seeds one in a small pot with a dome and one in a large Pot with no dome. Hopefully one make it!

Things I have learned from past experiences:

1: Don't overwater
2: Have good air circulation from day 1
3: Have a good soil mix. my last one was coco only and the reason my seedlings died I suspect.

So here's hoping for a good grow! I will update again when the seedlings break the soil! Fingers crossed!

Excellent! Looking forward to learning about your setup and grow. Do you have pics of your lighting? I am curious.

I have a good soil recipe in my grow thread (below) if you are interested.

Thanks.

I've been trying to germinate seeds all week, only 1 looks promising! If this doesn't work I'm going to have to try to source a clone or 2. below are some pics of my set up. Might need to purchase a new watering can!

How 'bout a germination update? Love the watering can - that thing is boss. Also like the tent in the bathroom!

What kind of water are you using to germinate the seeds with in the cup?

I just recently started my 1st grow, & I had high success rate from using distilled water in a small cup.
After placing them in the cup I had then put them in my medicine cabinet so it would be nice & dark they usually sprout
tap roots in the 1st 24-48 hrs & I read that you shouldn't keep them in the cup for longer than 3 days I think?
After the taproots come out I then put them in a small bowl wrapped in a wet towel that makes the tap roots come out pretty quickly if left alone in a dark place.

Grow setup looks sick though! Looking forward to seeing your grow progress, hopefully you can check mine out as well in my sig

Thanks for the support guys, Unfortunalty this might be the shortest grow journal in 420 history, None of the 5 seeds have properly germinated! one has split the seed and the tap root is visable so I put it in warm watered soil hoping mother nature can do the rest. Might have to get some clones to finally get my setup up and running!

Was in Poundland earlier and all this for £4, anyone heard of it?.... also new water pistol for when these things finally get going!

Re: Stratonite's - "The Church" - Coco - CFL grow

i hate any method but the natural method , i get my pot put a little hole into the soil drop my seed from about 12" like nature intended dust over with a little soil water and leave to mother nature ive killed more seed than enough with paper towels ect , when seed pops up , put a plasic bottle end over it and just spray insides every other day

ps did you get my message ??

Re: Stratonite's - "The Church" - Coco - CFL grow

No good man, I have my seeds in a glass of water, after 12-24hrs I transfer them to the paper towel method to finish them off. I find this work best for me, 90% of my seeds germinated within 48hrs.

Hope you get it started, that set up looks nice. I thought my cfls were big lol.
