Hello everyone
I recently started 6 Dutch Passion Power Plant seeds in cups with a decent commercial soil mix (Ballino?) - nice texture and seems to have quality ingredients, just needed plenty of perlite - supplemented with a few additives (earth worm castings, kelp meal, fishbone meal). I planted the seeds 2 weeks ago today. Only 4 actually sprouted. I checked the other 2 and they germinated but somehow didn't actually sprout. The plants are sitting under an 80w 4 foot fluoro fixture for now.
My plan for these plants is to clone them and flower them out, pick a mother and use the clones in hydro. This soil grow is only temporary as I had the supplies on hand versus spending some money to get the hydro set up again.
I haven't fed the plants anything yet of course. I dont have proper liquid veg nutrients (only FoxFarm GrowBig Hydro), but I'm hoping the soil additives will compensate for that until flower.
I will flower under a 250w CMH (if I can gather the money for a bulb) or HPS (already the bulb, but it's 2 grows old).
Heres the plants, 2 weeks from planting:
They are fairly uniform so far as they sprouted roughly all at the same time. I'm pleased with their progress so far. They seem to be okay despite temperature issues in the room (90's
- this will be fixed).
Anyway, hopefully this will interest someone and I can contribute to the community somehow. Thanks for checking in.
