What a wonderful way to start the new year 🎉💃 Growing beautiful medicine with an amazing community 💚💚
I will be growing Mimosa from Homegrown cannabis company with Smotpoker. Smot will be journaling apple fritter. We dropped seeds at Midnight on the Smotpoker YouTube channel https://youtu.be/QjhPj6D5kN4 we scuff and drop seeds into warm water. We place them on a heating mat at 83°f. We will soak for 12 to 24 hours and then we will be placing them in general hydroponics rapid rooters.
7 out of 8 broke the surface of the rapid rooters. We had a heck of a time with those rapid rooters. We had to cut open several of them to reorient the seedling with tap root.
the above picture was taken on 1/6. We transplanted the rapid rooters into prepared Solo cups. We use buffered coco and 20% perlite. We did not pre rinse the solo cups with the correct EC. We noticed the delay in any growth. One of the mimosas appears to be very droopy.
we are using general hydroponics nutrient line and we are using Dr Cocos nutrient chart as a guideline.
we are noticing fluctuations in temperature in the range of 70° to 76° Fahrenheit and fluctuations in RH 50% to 64% range.
the next picture includes the apple fritter that Smotpoker is journaling.
although we are off to a rough start I remain hopeful and excited to see what these genetics can do in our tent.
As you can see Smotpoker is doing all the heavy lifting 💪and the seedlings are responding nicely
they are residing currently under the maxasun mf1000 🎉🎉Smot won that light at the grower love giveaway🎉🎉GO SIGN UP😉😁
A lot has happened since the last post.
in the above picture you can see the plants were doing fine. It's after this that things get hairy...
we think we accidentally overdosed them with H2O2. Overnight they appear to be fried. Some of the leaves literally crumbled. We thought they may be goners. We flushed them with tap water without adjusting pH. Next we fertigated with nutrients following the same EC and pH that they were receiving. At this point we let them dry back for a few days. To my amazement they refuse to die.🌱
Although our plants are stunted from our mistakes I am excited to see what these genetics can do. I'm already impressed by what they've handled so far. The pot up was soon to follow. We decided to go with one gallon pots. Perhaps a s.o.g. is in my future.
They handled the pot up quite well. We pre-fertigated the 1 gallon pots so that they were going into a like environment. We notice the runoff was still a little low.
That is the EC and pH going on today. And the runoff EC is 👇
The Mimosa and apple fritter that refused to give up😁🌱
Flip day 😉😁🌱
these girls are a side experiment 🧐
one apple fritter one mimosa we are keeping them in the Solo cup it may turn into the single cola challenge I am feeding them nothing but the runoff from the other plants we will see how it goes.
