Hello everyone and welcome to my third grow journal.
After finishing my second grow successfully with great results, I'm back and ready to grow and improve some more! A few slight changes from my last grow. I'll be using coco for my medium again but this time ill also be adding CO2 and A/C so I can control the environment a bit more precisely and make it though the warmer summer weather with out having to wait to start.
Grow information:
Strain - Holy Grail Kush - DNA Genetics - Feminized seeds
Number of Plants - 12 seeds germinated, I will pick the best 8/10
Grow Type - Coco Coir
Grow Stage - Seedling stage.
Setup - Rapid Rooters / Smart Pots
Light - T5 4x 54w bulb for now. 600w MH/HPS and a 315w D-Papilon to be added later.
Nutrients - Plant Magic Magne/cal 0.1 EC, H&G Root Excellarator 0.3ml litre, Plant Magic Bio Wetter 2ml litre, Great White Mycorrhizae half a scoop per 2 litre.
Water type - R/O water
Medium - Rapid Rooters soaked in above formula
EC - 0.2
PH - 5.8
RH - 60% to 75%
Room Temperature - 21c to 23.5c
Room Square Footage - 240cm/120cm/200cm
Pests - None Known
I went for the same germination technique again, I prefer the idea of not having to move the seeds from a paper towel and risk damaging a tap root by accident. I soaked my seeds in a glass with R/O water for 12 hours with a small amount of Plant Magic Bio Wetter. It says it's good for germinating seeds on the back so thought I'd give it a go. I kept the glass in a dark space until the seeds had sunk to the bottom. I soaked Rapid Rooters for about 4 hours in the following solution - Plant Magic Magne/cal 0.1 EC, H&G Root Excellarator 0.3ml litre, Plant Magic Bio Wetter 2ml litre, Great White Mycorrhizae half a scoop per 2 litre.
Once my seeds were ready to be planted I squeezed the excess water from a Rapid Rooter and turned it upside down. I used a sterile scalpel to make an incision in the bottom of the Rapid Rooter, I then took a sterile pair of tweezers and placed a seed facing hinged side down, half an inch down inside the incision. Once the seed was in place I pulled away the tweezers and the incision closed up leaving the seed snuggly in place. I then inserted the Rapid Rooter with seed into a small plastic holder, I followed the same process for the remaining seeds.
Once all had been planted I took them upstairs to their new home. I placed them on an over turned hydro reservoir inside my grow tent. I've placed the seed tray inside a propagator with the lid not quite fully on under a T5 light. Once all seeds break ground I'll star taking away the dome for a little at a time until they slowly acclimatize to their new surroundings. While the seeds are germinating I'll be running the light 24/7 so the first thing the girls see when they pop up is bright light. Once all seeds are established I'll be switching the light cycle to 18/6.
I soaked the seeds on Wednesday 12/07/17 over night and planted them during the following day. Hopefully not long now and we should start to see some babies starting to break ground.
