Hi guys!
I'm back again having a second attempt at growing some beautiful buds after my first go was successful but plagued with problems. I have learnt more than I could have imagined over the past few months and 95% of it is due to all the great people here. I really hope you guys can continue to provide amazing help and hopefully I can get through this round without so many issues.
So on to the details,
I decided to just copy the below and fill in the blanks to make it a little easier for people to see.
What strain is it? Northern Lights
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? Hybrid
Is it in Veg or Flower stage? Seedling
Indoor or outdoor? Indoor
Soil or Hydro? 75% Coco/25% Perlite
Size of light? 8 X 24W CFL's for Vege + 300W MarsHydro LED for Flower
Is it aircooled? Passive intake. 4" Duct Fan + 4" Carbon Filter
Temp of Room/cab? Between 26-38 Celcius (Depending on season)
RH of Room/cab? Between 50%-75%
How often are you watering? Dailty or as needed
Type and strength of ferts used? GH Flora 3-Part Series + CaliMagic + Silica
Main changes this time are using CFL's during Vege instead of the LED, not using peat pots to start off, using Silica from the start and using GH Flora 3-Part instead of Lucas Formula.
History so far:
21/1 - Germination Begins. 3 x Seeds put between wet paper towels
23/1 - All 3 seeds cracked, tap roots all the same size. Planted and put in box with ventilation only, no light. Coco was washed and flushed with 1ml/L RO w CalMag.
25/1 - #1 & #3 Popped above ground. Light was turned on for 6.5hours then resumed 18/6.
26/1 - #2 Popped above ground.
Here are some pics so you can see what it looks like at the moment.
I have built a new light fixture which holds 8 CFL globes. I only have 3 running at the moment as the girls are only babies, but will add more as they grow
One little concern I have already is #1. I had to remove the outer casing of the seed yesterday as it had not come off yet, but since doing that she hasn't changed at all. I thought she would have opened up like the other two by now.
Any thoughts?
These two look pretty alright though.
So far they have only been watered with plain RO water at 5.9ph twice with one day in between.
Here is the schedule I am using.
Just like before I highly encourage anyone and everyone to comment and give any thoughts or ideas you may have. All are welcome and no offence will be taken to anything, all advice is taken with the up most consideration and appreciation.
Thanks guys and look forward to going on another journey with you all!!
