Halloweed's first attempt at a grow log

Halloweed · Dec 2, 2024

Hey all! I'm gonna try to keep a grow log to keep track of everything this grow. I've been lazy in the past lol.

I'm running Mephisto Oreo BD cake and Alien vs Triangle.

Spiderfarmer SE3000. Ac Infinity humidifier and fan and controller 69. Vivosun 6" Inline fan. Also running a small heater also hooked up to the controller.

Running 2 5 gallon fabric pots. My medium mix is 3.5 gallon Happy Frog, 1 gallon Ocean Forest. 3 cups perlite, 1 cup worm castings. Half cup of Dr. Earth all purpose.

I know it's not the best mix but it's what I have. I just hope I don't burn the plants. Running light 18 on and 6 off.

I have my temp set to 70 degrees. My humidity is set to 68% for the moment.

I've run into a slight problem with the A vs T. The shell is still on the plant. I was able to get half the shell off. Gonna see how it is tomorrow. Welcoming any help or tips.
And apparently I don't quite know how to post pictures hahaha.

Looking good in there! I have been fighting my entire seedling game recently! One thing I have had to do more this round is take the seed casings off ( maybe I didnt need to) lol but I felt I could help it along a bit. I drip some water on the casing a few times a day and that has been enough to help rather than me messing with it with tweezers, but I do get in there and peel it off if I feel like it.

70F is a bit cool. I run 80F, sometimes even a tad higher. Don't worry about the seed shell. Believe it or not higher temp in the tent will give those seedling a bit more vigor. Some of us refer to those seedlings as Helmet Heads. Get some light on those girls. Don't let them get leggy on yeah. Will enjoy following your journey.

The seed finally came off. It does look like they are getting lanky. I lowered the light to 8" high and increased intensity to 40%. Gonna see how that goes.

Yeah, I figured that was a bit cool. I'll turn the heat up a bit. It's so cold and dry where I live so been using the humidifier and that works pretty good.

I'll post new pics when I get home.

I would have just lowered the light a tad or left it where its at in your case and turned it up. Use the light as the heat source if you can. And remember to keep any thermos or probes between the light and the plant. We aren't concerned about the temp above the plants or on the floor. We are concerned about the temp at the plant. And you may,, well I would move the controllers outside of the tent and not have them in a high temp and humidity area. I either have them on the wall or hanging outside the tent. Not in the grow environment...

I didn't think about the controller being inside. I'll have to refigure my tent and try to hang it outside the tent. The light should be fine with the humidifier?

Halloweed · Dec 5, 2024

They're looking a little better. The A vs T looks a tad behind because of the shell. Increased the light Intensity a little bit. Also set my heater to 73 degrees.

I'd like to set up a cycle to where the temp and humidity lower at night. I'm just not sure how yet.

Any idea on when to add molasses or silica? Never used the silica before and may not need it.

Light will be fine. It makes enough heat to protect itself. Humidifiers,,, I have no experience with all this so called weed grow/horticulture units on the market now. I use cheap units with 1 to 1.3 gal. capacity from the likes of Walgreens, Dollar Stores and China-Mart. Wife finds them sometimes brand new in the box at yard sales. And I run them off of Inkbird controllers.

Oh ok. Nice. Thanks.

They look a little misshapen. The stems on the A vs T was a little bent. I put a little mound of soil to stand her up better.

Average temp is 73 degrees
Average RH is 65%

They are around 11 or 12 days since sprout.

Halloweed · Dec 17, 2024

I guess they are doing OK. The oreo BDC is looking a little dark. Maybe start of toxicity?

The AvT seems a little lighter but that may be the strain?

Gonna attempt to start training soon. Next watering I'm gonna give some molasses unless there's no need atm.

Halloweed · Dec 25, 2024

Happy Holidaze.

Started training and tucking. Not sure how well it is working. I'm watering them every three days. I'm not soaking the whole medium yet.

For the oreo bday cake it seems really compact, not much spacing between nodes.

The AvT looks okay but the leaves seem droopy to me. Might not be letting it dry back as much. I think it's starting to flower.

Key in getting those buggers off. Drip, spray, high humidity box, do it up but don't pull on 'em

Looks really nice. I'm not a soil grower, but use to be. You're doing good. There's nothing like producing you're own

Thank you. So far going organic seems to be better for me.
