Server pc case grow first timer

[bl4ze]

So I'm tired of buying stuff from the streets and getting random bud..

So here we go. Micro grow 21" server case Amnesia Haze (Soma seeds)

I'll get to the setup and details later pending that I have atleast one good plant ready to go..

The Pretty little lady



1st attempt at pre-soaking? for 24hrs..
tap water let to sit at room temperature 24 degree's over night.



She floats!



Current temp



Here is one I prepared yesterday.. straight tap water in a plastic party cup. She had dropped to the bottom and stayed there.. 24hrs later she's hatching? Is this a good sign?

 

[MrQwerty]

That is not a good sign. That's a great one. What medium are you using? Are you starting off in jiffy pellets, right into the medium orrr???? Good luck.

 

[StonedStupid]

Wish the seeds I germed in the past would have popped that quickly. It always took me like 3-4 days to get a sprout.

Day 2 for seed - 1 (sprouted in 2 days)

18hrs later the other girls haven't come out yet.. so transferring them to a small plate and terry towels.





The sinker! Left alone in darkness and checked every 12 hrs she looks promising..

Current environment (cold summer in Australia)
24 degrees c



60% humidity

 

[StonedStupid]

Awesome! I always wanted to try some more of Soma's stuff other than NYCD. I read on the forum here that a bunch of people had problems germinating his seeds but it doesn't seem that you had any issues at all.

 

[Golden Portias]

Alright bl4ze!

How are you going to control the height of your AH as I read up on the plant and its quite a tall one! I just noticed that as my growbox is only 21" tall!

Also I'm growing for the first time aswell so I cant help you out but good luck with yer grow!!!

 

[bl4ze]

Im a newbie as much as you guys. Im just going by beginners luck I guess!

She really is growing.. its only been a few hours, sprayed it twice every few hours with a few spray presses.



Here's the setup.. still being engineered



The way I see it.. is ill Veg her for shorter till 2/8ths from the bottom of the case while doing LST. In Flowering I may add a screen. hmmm....

 

[Puddin'tane]

you better flip that taproot over or you'll kill it. You want that little white point aiming down into your medium, not up..

 

[bl4ze]

^^ that was only for a picture to demonstrate how long she has grown

Day 3 of my seed


Have put her plastic in a chinese take away container to boost humidity

Looks good... Nice clean setup.

How are your lights mounted? They look like they're hanging from cardboard covered in mylar?

Looks like a lot of wasted space, you should consider mouthing them horizontally.

 

[bl4ze]

Thanks! They are a temp setup for now just to promote seedling growth.

I actually got a proper Light bulb to AC power plugs coming in the mail next week hopefully..

 

[In_Curious]

Nice and clean setup so far, other two didnt sprouted?

 

[bl4ze]

Actually the other two did sprout and their nearly out of their casings.
Will update this thread in a few more days hopefully they start developing fans by then!

3/3 Soma seeds cracked and sprouting

 

[bl4ze]

One of the other two.. 3 out of 3 are growing so quick!



day 3 we had 35 degree days... i was scared this would stunt the growth but i guess not?

So here's the update 17 days later.

I introduced another seedling, this time feminized dinafem original amnesia. This one is growing soo quick! she has almost caught up to amnesia haze.

I had played around with the soma seed abit by changing the pots etc. at one stage i over fed her and she was very droopy. So I let her sit in the sun for 3 days and put her back in the lights.

Here's how they are coming along so far.
new setup - 1x 26w cfl + 1x 48w Cfl.
my 125w cfls should be here soon so I can just run 1x light to get the temps down.



Soma seed at 2.5 weeks ^^ she's looking happy again



1.5 week old Dinafem Original amnesia freebie.

Two happy siblings side by side

over fed, would be yellow dead tips, but I think you're over watering in general. the stems being purple is a sign of lockout I think very similar to what another member ran into.

I'm not trying to hate but at about 17 days from seed mine had started the 2nd nodes if not 3rd node. Over watering can stunt them so go easy on it I see you're doing 100% perlite, what kind of drainage do you have are the mini hempy buckets? cause I am feeling that its just over watering thats getting em, I water about 4 days with lower humidity then you, I assume if you're humidity is higher cause I see 60-80% humidity off you're lil thermometer so I'd say cut back on the watering, you haven't over fed em it seems by the general green color, but stunted for sure.

 

[bl4ze]

Thanks I appreciate the feed back! i've never done any gardening or had this much level of care so My mistake was being over cautious..

I was worried about the high temps 30-35degrees so I naturally I watered them daily. I'll space it out every 3x days now or even 4 days

 

[Lumière]

I Love pc case growing and yours looks good...
I'm waiting for new pics

Bye

 

[bl4ze]

Some hours later

Warm temps at one stage 34 degrees c.
No more feeding for another day..

next time you germ seed, soak in the water for 24hr (even if it didn't sprout) and plant it straight out, this way 100 percent germ. don't need to drop or adjust ph.
