A day late and a dollar short. That's my motto. But I finally got around to dropping my seeds tonight.
I'll do an early veg in my small tent under a Vipar 1000 and a Maxisun 1000. There are some letters that come before those light numbers but I can't remember what they are.
I'll place them in my 2x4 tent under a Mars TSL2000 for completion of vegetation.
Then they'll go into a 4x4 under a Medic Grow Fold 8 dimmed to 80%.
My media is half vermiculite and half peat and I'll be using Jack's Peat Lite which I mix at .6g/liter. I add Flower Fuel beginning in week 5 flower.
My inflow EC runs about 840 which includes the salts in my water. Some times I push it to 1,000-1,200 EC but in the past year I haven't found that to be necessary for adequate growth.
We have lift off of Grandpa's Cookies.
I drop my seeds directly into a Root Riot peat plug. I cut it about half way down and then scrunch in another Root Riot that I turn upside down next to it. I do this to prevent light to the seed and also I spray the scrunched one with tap water with an occasional spray on the one containing the seed to keep it moist.
It then goes into a propagation dome situated on a heat mat where I spray the floor of the tray and the dome to keep the relative humidity high. I also have some minimal LED lighting awaiting the cotyledons.
Lift off deux.
Apples n Oranges has barely poked her head up.
Both cultivars are Ethos genetics. I've had good results with Ethos. They've managed to survive and sometimes thrive even with my occasional
neglect.
I turned up the light a tiny bit and will add more tomorrow. This set of LEDs has 4 settings. I'm on the second one.
Got 'em put in nursery bags. Starting EC around 240. I don't usually get them into the media until the first true set of leaves are completely grown in but they seemed to be stretching, which seems to be a problem I often have. Hope this helps and not hurts. Got me fingers crossed.
They seem to be going a little slow. Dropped seed directly into Root Riot on August 19. At this rate I won't be able to flip on October 1. Ugh.
Wrong pic. I'll post another. Double ugh.
