Hello fellow growers,
My first go at it and I'm officially at Day 31 from seed as they popped their heads on 4/8/17. Although as green as green can be as a grower, (no pun intended) I read and watched everything I could get my hands on for at least 3 months prior to taking the plunge...
So far it's been relatively smooth sailing I think mostly because I've been able to control their environment regarding temps/RH, and was overly cautious about over-watering while they were babies.
The background and set-up is as follows:
4'x4'x7' Gorilla GT
6" Pfhresh Stealth exhaust w/6"x16 Carbon Filter (Exhaust fan mounted outside tent and filter centered inside @top)
4" inline fresh air intake + passive flaps as needed
10,000 BTU Portable A/C (as needed)
3 Gal Tower Humidifier
Lights- Advanced LED Diamond XML 150 x 2
(Added 2nd light around Veg day 25)
Sprouted from seed on 4/8/17 after soaking in water on 4/6/17 for 15 hrs then damp paper towel for 24+ hrs had 1/2" tap roots so transplanted into organic seed starting mix and solo cups under CFL's for a week then introduced gradually to XML LED and they jumped big time. Transplanted into 1Gal smart pots around Day 10-11 with FFOF and 20% Perlite, then into 3 Gal Smart pots around Day 20.
Forgot to mention I topped (Fimed?) all 4 ladies at 4th node and all recovered nicely.
Nutes: started FF trio for soil according to their schedule at 1/4 strength , then 1/2, now full + started supplementing with Emerald Harvest Cal-Mag with every feeding when I started feeding them after around 14 days from seed..
I'll try to figure out how to load some pics from the journey so far and any input would be appreciated!
