Hi everyone. This is the only forum I've ever joined, on the internet perioid. Can't really get enough advice when it comes to caring for a plant of this importance and use, so thought I'd be safe and pick the minds of the "been there done that" community. So...
I've planted a single critical kush seed in a 12L pot, inside my grow box I built. The grow medium is mainly coco coir and clay pebbles.
2/3 coco coir 1/3 clay pebbles. I soaked the coir and pebbles in PH water for the better part of a week prior to planting.
The grow box is fairly basic, it's a timber frame with ply panels. Wrapped it tarpaulin to black out any light ect. Three 4" PC fans act as intake and outakes, they don't do too much but they certainly keep the air from stagnating and regulating the environment.
Now the lights I'm using are CFLs , just mounted on an plain board. I have in total (for now), 4 23w 6500k "warm daylight" and 2 28w 8500k "cool daylight " bulbs. They can all be turned on/off individually, but for now the seedling is under the 2 cool daylight bulbs with the rest off.
Since sprouting the seedling has been on a 24/0 light cylcle under 2 28w CFLs. Placed a humidifier in the corner, and a small fan blowing a very light breeze over the plant. The temp inside the closed box (thermometer screen is on the outside) stay in and around 25-26 degrees margin, with the humidity levels hitting the 60-65% region.
This is the little beaut at day 3. Sprouted after 5 days of germination.
Soil was moist, with a PH of 6.4/6.5 at the point of sprouting.
This is day 6.
Soil levels where consistent.
To my eye the leaves look healthy, good shape and colour, with a second pair coming in nicely.
The stem is looking good to me, a sort of purple/green colour, I researched and they appear normal although I have seen some really pale looking stems?
As far as watering goes I've just been doing the finger test, if the soils moist a knuckle down, no water, dry, then I'll water, for that I spray Ph water on the soil top until it's moistened.
That's been my routine thus far.
02/07/2018 was the 6th day of sprout.
