Hi guys! Counting down the days until my (first ever) harvest and wanted to share my grow experience with you all. I’ve learned a ton here reading about other peoples mess ups and mishaps, and the conversations that follow so I wanted to contribute to the content in hopes of helping some other green growers such as myself :)
Tent: 4x4x7
Light: LED 600w (two)
Medium: Promix , 3g pots
GERM: Feb 4/2019
Two Great White Shark auto
Two Girl Scout Cookies
Germinated 4 feminized seeds - soaked in water (12hrs) then transferred to a wet paper towel. At this point I was to concerned about the seeds being in a completely dark place and not concerned about the temperate enough. When I checked them the next day they were pretty cold to the touch and probably sitting in too much water. I drained the excess water and moved them onto a heating pad where they remained overnight but unfortunately I had to leave town unexpectedly the next day so the girls had to hit the dirt early.
(Feb 7) 3 outta 4 seeds had sprouted at this point and after the gong show of a start they had I was honestly surprised and pretty happy to be placing them into jiffy pellets with taproots. From everything I had read I knew they were resilient little buggers - and a weed after all - I just didn’t realize how resilient they truly were...
SEEDLING: (Feb/12)
Only 3 out of 4 ended up successfully germinating. One sprouted with the seed casing attached and wouldn’t shed it so after 5 days I decided to gently remove it. So they have sprouted...now what?? My thoughts exactly! Panic set in and I realized just how little of the exact timeline I really knew. Should I expose them to the 18/6 light cycle immediately or would that burn them, did they need to be covered still or were they ready for some exposure. After never really making a decision one way or the other and dickering with the lights on and off for 2 days we noticed they really liked the lights on (go figure) so we started them on the 18/6 light cycle.
Feb 15 I noticed some roots poking out of the jiffy pellets so we transplanted them into the 3 gallon pots (promix) which will be their forever homes. The pots should’ve been filled more with soil and we didn’t think about rolling down the bags until 3/4 of the way through the process. Ah well, lessons for next time. After transplant we gave 2 Cups of water to them. Still learning how to gauge the temperature and humidity levels in the tent, at this point we’re sitting at 28-30 degrees Celsius and 50% humidity. I moved my citrus tree in there in hopes of increasing the humidity level.
