Welcome to my first grow journal, all about my first real grow. 40 yrs ago I threw some bag seeds into my flower bed at college, but I guess that doesn't really count. This is a very low budget grow, having to prove to myself and my wife that I can grow decent meds for us before I invest more money. Here's hoping everything goes well enough to get to harvest.
Number of plants - I've got 2 going and have killed 3 other seeds.
What strain is it? - Unknown, 2 freebie seeds from Nirvana
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? What percentages? - I have no idea at this time
Is it in Veg or Flower stage? - Veg
If in Veg... For how long? - The seeds both broke through the soil on May 15.
Indoor or outdoor? - Right now they are indoor, but will finish outdoors
Soil or Hydro? - Soil, Fox Farms Ocean Forest and vermiculite, 80/20 mix
If soil... What size pot? - Right now, 1 liter Air Pots. They will finish in 5 gal Air Pots
Size of light? - While indoors they are under a 180 watt Intelligent-Gro UFO LED
Is it aircooled? - Yes, built-in fans
Temp of Room/cab? - 75F - 80F
RH of Room/cab? - 65%-70%
PH of media or res? - 6.5
Any Pests ? - I haven't seen any
How often are you watering? - As needed, normally once every 2 days
Type and strength of ferts used? - 1/4 strength Fox Farms Grow Big right now
And now to catch everyone up....
These were started by soaking 3 seeds in distilled water on May 9. They were all planted in small seed cups with a generic seed starter potting mix and placed under a 26watt CFL on May 12. On May 15, FTB-01 and FTB-02 (FTB=Freebie The Bean) pushed through the top of the soil and became seedlings. FTB-03 tipped over and was given life support.
May 17 FTB-01 and FTB-02 were looking good and I transplanted them to 1 liter AirPots full off my FFOF+vermiculite mix. I was forced to put them outdoors thanks to an unscheduled visit by some unfriendly in-laws. FTB-03 was officially declared dead.
May 26 - I was able to get my grow closet back and moved the seedlings back indoors and under a new LED light. FTB-01 was 2.0" tall and FTB-02 made it to 2.75".
June 4 - Started noticing what looked like nute burn on FTB-02. No nutes had been given yet. I did flush both plants with distilled water ph 6.5 and they looked a little better later in the day.
June 6 - At the suggestion of a few 420ers, I fed them with a very lite dose of Big Bloom. They did look a little happier.
June 7 - Following another suggestion, I increased the distance between the top of FTB-02 and the light from 10" to 22". It made sense because FTB-02 was not suffering from the burn that plagued FTB-02. Also, the angle of the fan was changed to not blow so directly on the plants.
June 8 - Here are the pics from this morning. FTB-01 measured in at 3.75" and FTB-02 is 5.00".
FTB-01 - That bottom leaf on the right makes me think she needs more N
FTB-02 - A little droopy and dull looking
FTB-02 - One more node and I'll be topping this one. It's almost time to transplant, too.
FTB-02 - Those burn spots do not look any worse than when they first appeared a few days ago.
FTB-01 - I like the node spacing
This didn't show up too well, but closet temp was 79 and RH was 70%
OK, I finally got this journal going. I hope I'm doing it right. Naturally, all advice and ideas are encouraged. I want to thank all of you for what I've already learned in the last couple months of hanging out here.
