Nice to see you here on 420mag. Sounds your on your way to happy green growing.

 

[Mello136]

Thanks guys, and to all the same. The reason I put 1/16th of the recommended dose in 1 gallon of water with 1/2 tbsp of molasses was because my soil had an NPK of 0-0-0. I wanted them to have a little to keep them going atleast 2 weeks. Also, molasses takes 2 weeks to be broken down by the soil. That way they get their cal/mag dose as soon as it's time.

Haha you know you did mention that, Guess I had a lil too much for lunch

I luv any grow that has unknown bagseed strains! Its amazing sometimes, the bud they can produce. You never know what you are going to get. It's like playing the lottery. I also luv a good medical seed grow too. I've got a strain I'm working on now that was bread from some amazing unknown strains I had in my first grow awhile back. I have some of the F1s in my current grow( link in sig.) as well as an unknown strain from some good bud i had a few months ago. This is my type of party . Im subbed!

 

[Mello136]

I'll check it out soon. I'll also be posting up new pics tonight, not much change from last pic update but atleast the thread is alive right? lol. All 3 technically are unknown bag seed but the 2 I'm calling BBK.... WERE BBK smoke.

Why don't you just let the seedling feed of her first embryonic leaves that first appeared. It can take up to 3 weeks for the embryonic leaves to be consumed. After that, the seedling will need to be introduced to low level nutes.

 

[Mello136]

They will be. I just added a bit in the soil before planting. Very low. 1/16th of the recommended dose. My soil is a dry NPK. 0-0-0. I added molasses in order for it to take longer to be broken down by the soil.
