Hi folks. I wanted to start a new journal for everyone to follow along. This is a grow that will start from seed and will be completed once I harvest, cure and get my dry weights. I got the thread going and will starting the seeds later today to kick off the grow. Below, I'll upload any and all information on my grow and the equipement being used to do so. Please feel free to follow along, offer any tips or advice and maybe just stay to chat a bit.
Germination: The method I use has worked very well so I stick to what works best for me. Using a standard shot glass, I fill it up 2/3 with water and the rest 3% hydrogen peroxide. The trick is to keep the seed floating. Usually 48-72 hours and I have a taproot. If it sinks, then into a paper towel they go.
Seedling Stage: Once I have a taproot, I then transfer the seed into a Solo Cup filled with Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil. I give the soil a nice little watering. Not too much to soak the entire soil but enough to make it damp. Equipement used in this area are as follows. Mars-Hydro 300w LED unit, 2x4 tent, small oscillating fan. Once the plant grows big enough, I then transfer them into their final 3 gallon fabric pots.
Vegetative Stage: Once I have transplanted them into their fabric pots, I then start my topping and training. Usually at the end of the 2nd week going into the 3rd week is when I am able to. I am also introducing them to their first feeds as well. Nutrients being used will be Fox Farm Trio and Cal-mag. I personally follow the chart perfectly unless a plant needs more or less of something. I tend to keep them in this stage from 4-8 weeks. This is mainly done by the size of the plant. Equipement used in this area are as follows. Mars-Hydro TSL-2000, 2x4 tent, one 6 in. intake fan and one oscillating fan.
Flowering Stage: Once I have reached this point I flip my lights back to 12/12. Personally, I love using photoperiod seeds. Before the flip, I give the plants 36 hours of pure darkness then follow into the 12/12. Once I start seeing signs of pistols , that's when I introduce the Bloom nutes. As the weeks go by in flower, I also start dialing back on my time the lights are on. By my final week of flower, my lights are on 8 hours and off the rest. I start reducing from 12 hours on once I reach about week 5 of flower. Equipement used in this area is as follows: One Mars-Hydro TSL-2000, one Mars-Hydro TS-1000 are the lights in my 4x4 tent. I also use one 6 in. duct fan and 2 oscillating fans for the 4x4. Hopefully, I'll be able to replace the TS-1000 with another TSL-2000.
Strains selected for the grow are as follows: 2 Bubba Kush feminized seeds and 2 Fire Og feminzed seeds. I'll upload the information on each strain in the following comment. Thank you for stopping in, there'll be more to come.
