Welcome everyone to my new grow!
Upgraded equipment with upgraded ambitions!
So for me this is a new phase in growing after some unsuccessful attempts with bag seed, bad soil, and all CFL's. I have finally ventured out to a semi-local indoor grow store in my area for better equipment. Also I have acquired real seeds from reputable seeds banks after growing all hermie's with my old bag seed. I am calling this a test grow because I mistakingly ordered two strains that are somewhat for outdoor growing, Purple #1 and Sweet Purple. after I get comfortable with this new setup I plan on going full throttle with my other bomb indoor strains.
Strains
Feminized Purple #1 by Dutch Passion and Sweet Purple by Paradise (both hybrids)
Stage
Journal starts at germination
Vegged for about 24 days
now on second day of 12/12
Setup
Secret Jardin DR60 grow tent (2'x2'x5.5')
CFL multi-spectrum for veg
small 150 watt hps for flower
one 4'' inline fan for venting
one clip fan
one small oscilating fan on floor
air intake is passive at the moment
Medium
75% Fox Farms Ocean Forest, 15% peat moss, 10% added perlite
Pot Size
two 3 gallon Super Roots Air-Pots
Nutrients
Basic fox farm trio: grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom (following FF soil chart)
Misc
Not checking ph this grow (maybe next time lol)
no pests thus far
watering when needed, for veg cycle about every 5-6 days
So I want this to be just a small basic noob grow, a great learning tool for all. All comments and posts are welcome. my goal for this purple test grow is 1 ounce of dank purple buds but i'll settle for semi-dank lol. This is just a personal hobby for a light medical user. Let's keep it simple and skunky! I will add and update journal pretty regularly with lots of pics. Only look at my previous grows if you want to grimace lol! And as always:
So this first pic shows the two seeds in this grow on far left. the rest are for future grows, will prob grow the most requested ones lol.
This pic below shows two 2 gallon air-pots, this grow uses the 3 gallon ones with green bottoms
So here are all the pics from the Veg stage into the second day of 12/12
I germed these two seeds by 1: soak in shot glasses in darkness for 12 hours. 2: plant seeds 1/4 inch below medium, leave in dark 12 hours. 3: turn on lights 12 inches above soil for 24/7 until sprout. I use glass jars for little humidity domes.
So here I started a little gentle LSTing. the Purp #1 took to it real nice but the Sweet Purp grew thick fast so I took it easy on her.
they have had only one good dose of the nutes so far because I have read in a lot of journals that fox farms soil has enough for most of veg cycle when growing small. Stay tuned for updates and all the info I prob forgot lol! (Look for green text for updates!)
