Hello everyone, this is going to be my first grow. I was not planning on making a journal of it thus im lacking photos of the early stages. I have followed some of the journals here and I can see how extremely helpful you can be, I will do my best to follow your guidance, any criticism is more than welcome.
I ended up with two grows, one indoor and one outdoor;
Indoor grow:
Strain: 2x Pineapple Express, 1x Gorilla Punch, 1x LSD-25
Tent: 4x4 (120x120x200cm)
Led: Migro Aray 8 PRO (530W dimmable)
Airflow: 6” Spiderfarmer+ carbon filter, 3x monkey clip fans
Pots: 4x 20L fabric
Soil: BioBizz All Mix+ Light Mix
Nutrients: Biobizz Grow, Bloom and Top Max. Cal- Mag
Temps/ RH / PH: 24-26c, 50-55%, PH- 7.0
Outdoor grow:
Strain: 3x Pineapple Express, 1x Lemon OG all autos from fastbuds
4x 10L plastic pots
Soil: Canna Terra Professional
Nutrients: Dutchpro Multi, Root and Explode
My initial plan was to go with four 20L pots in the tent but I was extremely impatient and decided to germinate my seeds before my LED had arrived, which led to yellowing roots and no light since the shippment was delayed at customs. I kind of panicked when I saw my roots yellowing after 36-42 hours of paper towel method and I went and bought Cannaterra Professional and four 10L pots. The guy advised me that the soil would last me for my veg state and I should not add any nutes. For some weird reason I went home and instead of presoaking it a little I added too much water and decided to leave it outside to let it dry out before I plant my seeds. I thought keeping them in the paper towel for a couple hours was the better Idea instead of planting them into a really wet soil. I gave the soil around 8 hours to dry at night before I planted my seeds the next morning and left them outside in the sun during the day(20degrees c) and inside at night. They had to live like this for two days and I could tell they didn’t enjoy it as much but they were doing okay in my opinion. My LED arrived on the 25th of April, by that time my seedlings were 1 week old, only had 5-6 hours of sun during the day and the rest was inside under darkness..
I now had my light and was ready to germinate my 4 sealed seeds (2x pineapple, 1x lsd-25 and 1x gorilla punch)
I did the paper towel method again on the 25th and checked them every 12hours. After 36 hours they had 1”+ long taproots and I decided to plant them in their final 20L buckets.
My 8 plants are all in the tent now, I will post photos below. The older ones had yellowing leaves. My first watering was wrong but I also got a pH “liquid” tester now and my pH reads to be around 6.5-7. I guess it was too high the first time i watered them. I try to water them every 2-3 days with 7ph water now. I guess 7.0 should be ok for the allmix but I might have to go lower for the cannapro. The plants that are supposed to go outdoors and had bad feeding schedule for the first couple of days are in the plastic pots. Their yellowing leaves worried me and since it was their second week I decided to feed them with:
0.5 ml of calmag (biobizz)
1.5ml of multi total (dutchpro)
0.75ml of root juice (dutchpro)
0.25ml of grow (biobizz)
That feeding was yesterday. I am worried that my yellowing leaves were due to high ph. Did i do bad by adding these nutes and also mixing them was not the best idea i suppose. My fabric pots are in AllMix soil with a little bit of light mix in the middle. I guess it should get me trough veg stage but we will see.
I will upload pictures below for you to see each plant. I am writing this from my phone and my english is quite bad but I hope this will be easy to read. I Will also make sure to include dates and more information in my future posts. I was just not prepared with photos. Thank you in advance, I am happy to be here.
