DesertGrower's Continual Journal

[DesertGrower]

Hi all,

This is going to be my first journal. I'm currently finishing off 8 white Rhyno plants and also starting 6- strawberry blond & 10 Mango Skunk

My set up will be constantly evolving as this is my 1st and 2nd grow so I have a lot of expanding and learning to do.

Flower Room Set Up

Lights: Mars Reflector 600 (410 actual)
2 - "non sponsored" 600LEDs (260 actual)
Soil: FoxFarms Ocean Farm
Nutes: Fox Farm Tri diluted to 50% strength


Germination Set up

Jiffy peat pellets - I'll remove the netting when I re plant
Light: T5 - adding a second to make sure there isn't any stretching

These are from 8/7- Beginning of week 7 of flower

Just gave them their final flush- there a quite a few deficiencies going on but with 10 days to go I'm going to ride it out

8/9 - starting the seed for my second grow

Strawberry blond - gift from a friend (need more friends like him lol)
Mango Skunk - from Nirvana - great turn around very happy with their service

Simple paper towel method with distilled water

8/11

So 36 hours later I have 100% germination rate for the 6 strawberry blond & 70% for the 10 Mango Skunk seeds. Assuming the skunk seeds are just germinating a bit slower I planted the United germinated seeds as well.

I'm using the peat pellets and will cut the mesh off when I plant them. I bought one of the germination trays with an 8" dome and a small T5. I'm thinking of getting another T5 to make sure I done get any stretched out seedlings.

8/14 - beginning of week 8 of flower

I have a tough time telling clear from milky tri's but I'm seeing 2-3% amber, hoping next weekend will be harvest time. Buds Aldo started stinking for the first time
