Here goes...
I didn’t get many pictures of germination or early seedling stage due to waiting for a new phone and a new light.
Decided to test my luck and only pop a couple from the pack of 6 fem Buckin runtz. Which came with 3 bonus seeds each of
-mystic magic (cbd) x runtz
-runtz s1
Seeds popped above coco: July 3rd 2020
I’ll be using about a 85% house and garden coco 15% perilite mix. (House and garden coco comes buffered at a ph of 6.3 and has a low ec/ppm of around 200 before flushing) I would still flush and run a very diluted nutrient solution through it because coco has a reputation for holding onto nutrients such as calcium making it not available to the plant.
For seed starting I like to use cfls but instead of the tubes I made my own seedling light a couple years back out of thin duct metal from homedepot and a couple screw to hold the shape. Just have to buy replacement bulbs once every couple years. I can’t lie, I’m pretty proud of it. Lol
As stated above, I like to precharging coco or at the very least to run some distilled water through it to determine dissolved salts.. if it is too high your plants could suffer especially at an early stage. With that being said make sure you’re only precharging your coco with a very light nutrient solution. started with 150ppm. Approx 75ppm of each advanced nutrients A&B made for coco.
I could just be paranoid but I like to know exactly what is in my growing medium.
I don’t have many additives atm but will be adding as I go through veg.
All 4 seeds have sprouted although the Buckin runtz Both seems to be off to a slower start
approx 4-5 days later it was time to move on up to some solo cups. Finally when I got new phone I could start actually documenting.
Buckin runtz #2 (Not sure whats with the spots on the leaves, def not pests or anything?)
Buckin runtz #1 (we seem to have a ‘runt’ on our hands ha ha)
Runtz s1
CBD runtz
*Fast forward about a week to day 14*
The grow light I’m using is a 640w dimmable led board with both 3500k/5000k, deep red and infrared chips. For now it is set to pretty much it’s lowest output.
I will be getting a tent or two set up but in the meantime this will do.. As I have learned in the past environment is almost as important as having good genetics!
You want to watch your plants for signs of stress of course but these are good numbers to hang around for early veg.
Looking good so far wish I would have stretched them out a littttle bit more but I’m not going to complain!
