It's been a while i've done one of these diaries so, i thought i do one while i am doing my 1st proper grow in rockwool.
To get this diaries kicking off i'll be inviting my inspirational and close trusted friends that i have meet through THC Framers. @Dirtbag@Aqua Man@tobh@Mr.GreenthumbOG@Kanzeon
Alight, with that intro out of the way, here we go.
I was searching through THC Farmer and noticed an area that educates you with the benefits of the plant. I found this very beneficial and though sharing it. View attachment 1193436
The plant will be growing in two seperate areas. The only difference in these areas is the size of the room and the light that is in there.
Seedling & Veg will be done in a tent and once the plant is gowned and ready to push to flower than it will be moved to flower room.
Tent=2x2x8 | Flower room 4x6x10
Light= Due to advertisement and our sponsors this is hidden. However, @SpiderFarmerLED have great lights.
Nutrients= Green Leaf Nutrients | Mega Crop Two Parts | @greenleafnutrients View attachment 1193443
I will be following these charts to ensure that my environment is on point. The inkbird will ensure that the temps of the room are on point. View attachment 1193438View attachment 1193446
I follow this chart to figure the problems out. I do have to admit that these charts are good. However, the help of THC farmers has thought me on why these issues arises. View attachment 1193445
On November 24th, i dropped a bean in a cup of water and put it inside kitchen cabinet. This bean sinked in two days and so i dropped it in a small rockwool cube and put it inside the tent in a dome. I turned the heater on so that inside the dome would be 26c/80f and help the humidity to rise to 60%+
On November 28th it was sprouted and the 1st set of leaves were opened. The current picture below is from December 1st and the seedling is looking healthy. The stretching is due to the light i had it under at 1st. This was just a 5600k led light to ensure that i don't burn the seedling. Since i noticed the stretching i decided to put it under my main light which is 130w full spectrum with a light intensity adjuster. Currently, the seedling is under 5000 lux.
Today i noticed roots coming out from the bottom of the rockwool, so i have prepared a rockwool cube. The beauty of this is that there is no transplanting shock. as i will be inserting this small rockwool in a bigger one. Temps are a bit low. 22c at 54% Rh. The light intensity is at 15% to provide a 5000 lux at 2.5ft height. The nutrient level is at 0.5EC and ph at 5.8 currently.
I like to get the ph lower to 5.5 and as she grows i will rise the nutrient levels to her needs. View attachment 1193449
I am super excited for this grow and thank you everyone for tuning in.
