Currently, I have 17 daughters in 5 gallons annd a few 3 gallons grow bag annd they reside in an 4*4*8 grow tent using fox farm soil. They are a handful. Note: One is an auto flower.
As an excited newbie I have lots of lessons learned and I learn on a daily basis about each phase, lighting, humidity, temps, scheduling, growth, pest control, etc. I have three different lights and my daughters are 2 to 5 weeks old. The left side of their house was started first until I was able to the light for the right side and I added another light in the middle this week. Almost half started using the paper towel method and started in direct soil.
To say I learned a lot is an understatement. First lesson - to label the strain. Since I’m not a smoker, I didn’t see it as an important. Each one of my girls are all spoiled and by not labeling them it’s a learn as I go. Note: I purchased from four different seed banks a year ago so all in all I had over 40 seeds about 14 different strains. So basically, I don’t know the father of my children, but I can guess a few.
I started with 30 and these are the one that made it and I want to ensure they make it to harvest. The ones that didn’t make it - 6 didn’t sprout, 3 were sprouting late and I thought I could help them out and ended up messing with their ecosystem system and they expired, the remaining 4 that sprouted I touched them too much as seedlings (thinking I was helping them to do a little correcting) and they expired as well.
My tent is packed and I do have another smaller tent that I can move about three or four if needed as they get bigger. Some of my girls have or are recovering from the light being too close or too hot, a little over watering corrections, misting them when the light was on, and when I transferred them as seedlings to a larger pot. I used Happy Frog and Ocean Forest. Another lesson, I transferred some of them as seedlings using a half frog/ocean method and some of them didn’t like it the mix. At this point, I only watered them with 48 hour tap water. I do plan on getting a portable reverse osmosis system in a few weeks. I did add some molasses during two feedings. I water 16 ounces every two days on average. I do check for dryness and I’m assuming the 16 ounces are ok because I’m afraid to give them more and risk them drooping.
