Updated Info
Aug. 29th upgraded lights to a SunPlus Pioneer P6 COB + LED
Sep. 9th added 2 x 2' T5 HO lights as a source of UVA/B
No more mystery plants(none of the bag seed germinated) just 2x Cuvee(Indy hybrid) + 2x Jack Skellington (Sativa Hybrid)
Nutes are now fertilome 20-20-20 for veg, fertilome Blooming 9-58-8, fertilome plant & root starter, and CalMag
Hey all,
First time grower here, I'm sure there'll be mistakes along the way(already has been lol!) but that's part of what makes it fun, learning and growing!!
4*4*6.5 tent
1800W LED (Don't think I can put the brand in) have a HydroFarm PAR meter and power meter(to read watts/amps) coming soon so will have more info on the lights performance
Medium = pro mix seedling soil for germination then 50% pro mix HP, 25% perlite, 25% vermiculite for Veg/Flower - currently in 3 gal smart pots in veg
Nutes = GH Flora trio, ferti-lome root stimulator(possibly more down the line we'll see)
Strains = 2x Jack Skellington(70/30 Sat - SeedBank), 2x Cuvee(70/30 Ind - SeedBank), and possibly 1 mystery(had free seeds given to me, haven't been able to get 1 to germinate as of yet out of like 10, more on that soon)
Temp = 72-78(no exhaust yet,have a 6" 440 CFM inline fan with carbon filter and speed control along with 2 rotating fans on their way)
RH = 42-52
Water = Tap water, 220 PPM, 8.03 PH(haven't really read a lot about PPM yet, so will be looking for advice and checking up on that more) fill 2 5 gal buckets with tap water throw air stones and pump into them for a couple days, keep them on continuous rotation so the chlorine can hopefully completely evaporate(there's no chloramine in our water according to the report)
So let's start off!
Germination
Began process on Aug 2nd, put 2x cuvee, 2x JS and 8x mystery seeds in room temp water for 15hrs, then placed into solo(dixie) cups with pro-mix seedling soil, placed wrap over top for a humidity dome and punched a couple holes in it.
2 days later both the JS/CV had sprouted, nothing from mystery yet. 1 weeks goes by and the JS/CV are doing great looking healthy yet still nothing from mystery seeds. Decide to dig one out and see if it even had a tail, nothing, so dug all 8 of the mystery seeds out and put them in a damp paper towel, 1 day goes by and nothing, 2 days and they show signs of mold, so toss them.
Go back into the bag and try the paper towel method with 5 more, 2 days and nothing so far. Decide to see if wife has a magic finger, so get her to try to see if she can get a tail sprouted, so give her 5 today(only actually want 1 to sprout) so we'll see if she can get a tail sprouted or not, if she can't out of these 5 I'll wait till my next grow(still have a good 15-20 mystery seeds left to try with)
I'd figured I would run into problems with the mystery seeds since they're just a collection of a friends from years and years which probably hadn't been stored properly, didn't expect it to be an 0/13(so far) but oh well.
Here's some pics from a few days ago
The Transplant
2.5 days ago I watered my plants and noticed the roots beginning to pop out the holes on the bottom of their cups, so I waited 1.5 days and transplanted them, this is where I made my error.
I transplanted them into 3 gal smart pots with 50% pro mix, 25%P+V. Even though they're still young I wasn't sure if I should feed them yet or not, but I decided since there's no nutes/ferts in their new pots that I should feed them a light feed, so going by the GH trio nute guide listed in the forums here and instead of using 2.5ml per gallon I used 2ml. Plants looked healthy this morning, didn't seem to be bothered or stressed at all, will take pics later and post them in their new homes.
The error I believe was going to a 3 gal pot. I should have gone cup > 1 gal > 5 gal. Now that they're in their 3 gal homes I'm afraid that by the time I want to lay down my SCROG screen the roots won't be developed enough to transplant them to their final 5 gal homes, and if I wait for the roots to develop enough they'll be taller then I'd like for my screen. So here I'm stuck and undecided a little as to what I should do, hopefully my root stimulator will be here soon(like this week please!!!!) and hopefully that'll help out a lot in developing them!
The Plan
The plan is to SCROG. My screen design I'm a little undecided on as of yet however, so I'm open to advice here.
What I've been thinking is since I have 2 Sat's and 2 Indys is to make my screen 4' deep, then 2' wide and at both the left and right side I'll add a 45 deg angle upwards for 1'(so it still ends up being 4' wide) and keep the Sats on the side, thus allowing them to grow a little taller than the Indys, and take more advantage of the fade off on LEDs, and just plot the Indys in the middle.
Completely open to suggestions here since I haven't even began to build my screen yet.
I'll be vegging until roughly 75% of screen is full then flip to flower, both the JS/CV are a 45-60 day flower plant.
I guess that's all I could think of for now, open to ideas and suggestions, will post updated photos as I move along. Pretty damn excited for my first grow finally! All input and feedback is welcome!!!
