after gaining a lot of education, experience and confidence from my first grow of a single Northern Lights I thought it time to go for doubles this time.
Near the end of my last grow, I did some strain searching for something that caught my interest. I after reading descriptions and reviews, I became really interested in Heavyweight Seeds' Fruit Punch. I'm really excited to get a Sativa-dominant grow under my belt. With my order from Herbies, got a couple freebies, one of which was Heavyweight's Dream Machine.
Just put the 2 seeds in wet paper towel in a ziplock in my desk drawer just last night (my preferred germination method). The Fruit Punch now has a tail around 1/16" (roughly 1.5 mm) and the Dream Machine shell has just started to split, so they're germinating fairly evenly.
Once in soil, I'll be starting them in a couple 32oz containers from the local chinese food place (wonton soup ). My plan is to use Fox Farm's Ocean Forest with extra perlite mixed in, using FF trio nutes and molasses.
seedlings will start under 1 CFL 23w 5500k each until the first full set of leaves, then they'll go under my CFL hood from last grow (8x23w 5500k). I will be FIMming & LST both plants during veg. I plan to veg for 6 weeks under the CFL hood. For flower, I will be using my new Mars "old style" 100 x 3w LED possibly with CFL side lighting.
I should be at harvest somewhere around late April or early May.
What strain is it?
- Heavyweight Seeds - Fruit Punch and Dream Machine
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? What percentages?
- Fruit Punch is Sativa dominant (no percentages listed)
- Dream Machine is Indica dominant (60% Indica 40% Sativa%)

- both currently germinating
If in Veg... For how long?
- Plan to veg for 6 weeks
If in Flower stage... For how long? - N/A
Indoor or outdoor?
- Indoor
Soil or Hydro?
If soil... what is in your mix?
If soil... What size pot?
- Soil - FFOF w/ extra perlite, eventually in recycled kitty litter buckets (rectangular shape) roughly 3 gal capacity
Size of light?
- home-made 8 CFL hood for veg. Mars Hydro 100x3 LED ("Old Style") for flower plus possible CFL side-lighting
Is it aircooled?
- LED has internal fans. CFLs just from circulating room air
Temp of Room/cab?
RH of Room/cab?
Unknown at this time
PH of media or res?
FFOF bag says 6.3-6.8
