All-Star Lineup

[BIGJAYDIGGLER]

Day 3 planted 18 in pods. They've been in the dark. 5 ml of water in each pod twice so far.
The seeds are a mystery. Mix pot of great strains accumulated. 2nd grow. Still anticipating the first.

Why in the dark?
Heating pads with 24/0 lighting.

I was told dark humid conditions for germination. They are under florescent light now.

Oh... I assumed you already germinated before dropping into soil.

I usually soak 24 hours in a shot glass of water, transfer into a paper towel until I see a 1/4” tap root, then they go into pods. Dark, warm, humid is good for germination.

Do you have a heating pad?

I do have one, but they already popped. Most are 2-3" tall

Ok... so for seedlings you want to run 24/0, then after the first node breaks, put them in solos and take it to 20/4, then at 4-6 nodes, top and take to 18/6. Transplant into gallons a week after toppling.

Just my process...

Thanks man. I appreciate the help

Anytime. The heating pad will help out a lot. They’re $20 at HD for a 1x2’ish pad.

Day 7
Transplanted to cups. Stretching big-time so I lowered the lights considerably. They were at 50". They are now at 24". At 24/0 lighting schedule. I used happy frog which is what I will be using for bigger 2 1/2 gal pots.

 

[BIGJAYDIGGLER]

Day 9 from planting the seed. Ok I admit I'm not a genius. These little girls are stretching and toppling. 24/0 lighting
Light is a 32w T8 1800 lumens florescent

 

[BIGJAYDIGGLER]

Day 30. I wasn't getting them to establish roots right a way. Learned the lesson of poking lots of breathing holes in the cup. They took off now. They weren't thick enough to raise the light. I raised it now and they are going. Moving to pots soon. I wish I could veg quickly, but learning on the fly.

 

[BIGJAYDIGGLER]

52 days veg.
Day 2 flower
Using (17) 3 gal pots
Happy frog mix
2 mega nextlight
8x8 tent
General organics right now bio thrive only with cal mag recommended dosage 3/4 of a gal per pot of water.
Temps are average 77 highs at 80 on hot summer days
Humidity at 51% with a humidifier in tent constant. Trellis very soon. I expect 7" of growth.
Lights are at 48"

Nice, looking to be another great run. I’m in with a front row seat. Gotta love a bag seed run, you’ll probably find a few keepers at least.

 

[BIGJAYDIGGLER]

Flower day 10
3/4 gal per pot (17)
BioBloom and biobud and cal mag
Manufacturer recommended dose
Trim them down and trellised

 

[BIGJAYDIGGLER]

Flower day 22. I think I may have some tops.

 

[BIGJAYDIGGLER]

I accidentally left my basement light on and door open to the grow room. Beers make me forgetful. So light leaked in for sure. Lol. Only one night.

 

[ChefDGreen]

That trellis is going to make watering a pain in the ass

 

[BIGJAYDIGGLER]

Not to worry, have a 2 gallon watering can with a 2' hose extension.

 

[BIGJAYDIGGLER]

Flower day 24. Wouldn't you know. Took out the trellis so I could remove 3 more plants. Down to 12 pots. I suspect a hermie trait. It was only one branch from each pot, but I removed the entire plant. Everything else looks good. Fingers crossed.

 

[BIGJAYDIGGLER]

Flower day 30.
Double shot (5 ml) with the bio bud this time and last. 5 ml of calmag and 10 ml bio thrive. Lights lowered to 18"
Feeding is 3/4 gallon water per pot, plus nutes.
No signs of any male parts.
