3 kinds. more info latter.
started....[used lab 2 super closet]
11.29.2012 prepared rock wool by lowering ph to 5.5 and soaking a few hrs.
Sterilized tray. Placed 25 cubes in tray. Put clear hood on.
Placed tray and turned on mat heater. Space temp to between 75 and 85 dgf.
Right at where cubes are.[super closet] Put seeds in water jars
3 JARS with a few drops of bleach in the water.
All [ seeds from nirvana
]. Regular seeds[not feminized]
jar 1 aurora 10 seeds[8 grew]
jar 2 papaya 10 seeds[8 grew]
jar 3 master Kush 5 seeds[4 grew]
Wait 20 to 36 hrs till seeds sink.
11.30.2012 All seeds have sunk. Inserted 1 seed in each cube.
1 tablespoon of fertilizer [1/4 strength] liquid compost. Put on each cube.0.04-0-0.4 ,
Heat pad on; now time to watch.
12.2.12 2 have popped up so far . 1 aurora and 1 papaya.
12.4.12 20 of 25 are up .
Aurora 10 seeds[8 grew]
Papaya 10 seeds[8 grew]
Master Kush 5 seeds[4 grew 1 died.]
12.5.12 Main system [ALPHA LAB] turned on to get the bio's going.
12.6.12 planted into main system.
A small bit of coco coir spred around the cubes and on top. Real good moisture retention with coco coir.
12.8.12 Topped pots off with coco coir and clay pellets.
12.9.12 #3 leafs coming out on the second sets..
(no pics) Way small still. I will need to clone 5 plants to fill the system.
hmmmm not sure I will or won't add the clones.
12.13.12 Day 14 from dry seed till now... all looking good
12.15.12 canopy and root growth , starting to get ready to explode the vegetative state.
3 plants showing signs of nitro deficiency after investigation found all 3 had plugged drippers.
did a foliar spray on them [floralicious +] , also did the systems first drain out reservoir flush and added new nutes/ferts. upped the concentration to 1/2 recommended. a combination mix of the following; maxi grow from general hydroponics, 3d starter organic compost . microbrew by fox farm , super thrive [always] floralicious+ also from general hydroponics [on the plants that had plugged drippers] .
12.17.12 new pics for light configuration changes and reflective mulch added . reflective mulch ; for extra light reflection for enhanced lower level branching.

]. the papaya I have grown for the collective and the care taker took all the males out so I didn't get to see them grow as I started that whole crop at 2 inch plants. this time papaya is in my garden so I get to see them close up and was surprised one showed early the same day as the aurora. good to know as I have grown lots of the other 2 kinds and they all growing like the last grow except the new system is giving better than expected results so far. but the main system always has. also tricome production in both males on leaf structure really good sign for potency from all my experience I know for sure the aurora male with early crystal are very good to be the father of the 2 best girls. putting male into female. don't know if the papaya males early crystal is a good sign but from my experience it has always been on choosing a good male. but got to prove it on the papayas. so ill have to do separate f1 crosses to the same female on dif bud sites. tricky shit but been there done that. I was even thinking of doing a graft from the female to males but that takes allot of babysitting to get them to take and it is a surer way of not contaminating the entire crop by a small mishap. but my buddy want seed anyway and so do I.
