The start of a new grow is always exciting and filled with anticipation and promise. I dropped a Triple Cheese seed that I traded with @InTheShed a few months ago on the 26th, just four days ago. Within 36hrs seed pop and a tap. So pulled out a fresh Lowes bucket and a bag of Perlite and began.
The 2 gal Lowes bucket is almost perfect for a small bag of Perlite I get from my local hydro store for about $8. Rinsed and drained and poked a hole in the middle with my hole poking stick. Mixed a small quantity of Clonex Solution, took out a Root Riot and split it open. Dropped seed tap up into the RR and spritzed with Clonex Solution. Dropped into prepared perlite bucket and covered with a small 500ml plastic water bottle bottom.
That was Thursday the 28th. Spritzed a couple of times yesterday. Went out this morning to check and spritz and I have a new Baby sprout.
So the seed apparently did a flip and pulled the seed cap off in the process and is seeking light. This was the first time I tried the seed position that brother @FelipeBlu had suggested after my last grows issues.
Since this is a new journal I will outline goals and equipment planned for this grow.
I'm be using a 100% Perlite Passive Hydro technique called Hempy Bucket. Starting with a 2gal Lowes paint bucket filled to the rim with Medium Perlite. Seed initially place in a Root Riot and fed with Clonex Solution.
Initial Veg grow will be in a small 2x2 veg tent under a Perfect Sun Mini.
Nutrients planned will be DynaGro ProteKt, DynaGro Grow and Botanicare Cal-Mag plus. I have had success over the last year with this combo and the price point is low, with good results on all of my grows since I started using.
Water will be RO and the first grow that will be using that from the start. I believe my 5th grow has had issues with the switch over from filtered dirty tab water to RO and me not knowing what was actually in the soup mix of mystery nutes.
Veg time is planned for 8weeks. Some lite LST with FIM'ing/Topping is planned early on. Some of those plans will be firmed up with the harvest of my current flowering tent grow. When I know what the yield is. I'm currently working with an idea of growing semi natural with just a FIM above the 5th node. Space is tight in my flower tent that is only has a 2x2.5 footprint.
