Welcome to the (soon-to-be) Jungle
Hey 420 community and everyone else who may be tuning in.
Ace Ventura delivered this package the other day so I thought I'd best check the light before starting this journal which is why we will start here with the unboxing. The light arrived undamaged. That would have been embarrassing....
So, that is the light, question is, what am I going to do with it? Well, here is my plan.
I'm going to grow some cannabis with it!
That's it, though I suppose I should probably go into it in a little more detail.
I have been gifted some seeds from a friend which we will be running for this journal. They are some original creations and have some impressive genetics.
Here they are in the old environment under a 100w floodlight....
Here is the light which I have been using for several years. It does the job but it's very hot and is unlikely to be even close to being efficient. I'll be dropping you off at the recycling centre next time I'm passing....
That's better. The temperature has dropped and the light is so much brighter....
Here are the seedlings which I started already under the old light. I didn't realise I would be doing this journal when I started the seeds which is why I didn't wait....
There are some more on the way as not all of them germinated but I'm only looking for one each of the four strains to run in the grow. Also, they are regs so the males will be culled. I have more seeds so if I like what I find then we can try something else in the future and perhaps use them for making some seeds.
So, here is a closer look at the seedlings which are looking a little leggy because of the light we were using for germination.
BBTK (Black Banana x Triangle Kush).
The Black Banana is an original creation and is Banana Peel x Black Triangle. I think I've got that right. If not then I'll update in the future. Only one of these germinated so I planted some more and since this pic was taken two more have arrived....
Sunset Sherbet (Cookie Fam Cut) x BBTK.
This one has a seed which contained twins though there was also one which was a bit of a runt. Most are good though....
Highbite x BBTK.
The Highbite is another original creation and is (Thin Mint GSC x Animal Cookies) X (WiFi OG x Black Triangle). These are wanting to grow and just couldn't wait to be bathed in the XS1000's high quality light....
WiFi OG x BBTK.
Finally we have this tasty sounding creation. These seedlings are mostly good. A couple are flying and a couple are a bit smaller but all germed....
So, we will let the seedlings get comfortable and grow a little bit more before we then separate and get them their own pots. This round will be grown using my own soil as a medium and MegaCrop as a nutrient source. I'm not sure about pot sizes or any of the finer details regarding late veg and flowering but we'll work that out as we go. For now we are growing in a small 40cm x 40cm tent and will relocate as soon as their is some space available in the 60cm x 80cm closet which is where the plants will be flowered.
I'd like to thank @ViparSpectra for this opportunity and also for supporting the 420 community with their hard work. Thanks guys!
It's time to sit back and check out just what this light can do.
Hopefully we will get a good turnout and have a but of fun while learning a thing or two along the way.
For now though it's happy growing everyone.
