Welcome back ladies and germs, today i'm testing out Border Haze and Sativa Loco from Aliendawg (Cannafornia Seeds).
Border Haze is (Super Silver HazexGolden Mexican Sativa(GMS=oaxacaxpakistanixdurban)
Sativa Loco is (80's Sativa(Unknown80's Sativa"lol")xGolden Mexican Sativa[which is up there ^^^])
I'll be growing 12/12 from seed, which when i say it means i'm gonna veg em 16+hours for 2 weeks(45wCFL) before throwing em in flower cuz i don't have room for all that stretching. I'm gonna keep em under a 70watt HPS for the first 65%-70% of flower then i'm gonna switch it out for a 100watt MH.
For media i'm on my second run in CocoGanics as i'm going to call it...from now on lol...Mix is 50%+ coco from a brick, didn't rinse it, not gonna be doing hydro style so i give a fuck about a pH. the other 50%or less of the mix is about 35%worm castings from wriggle worm, or whatever that shit's called with the farmer on the bag. the last 15% is perlite and my amendments.
amendments are garden lime (espoma's the shit), bone meal, azomite, jamaican guano, and...um... i think that's all i used this time. i then took that mix and mixed it in with my mix from last time which was still composting and was pretty much the same mix but maybe a little more perlite than i used this time.
my calculations tell me that all the shit i added in the ratios i added them (sorry guys i didn't follow/make a recipe mostly recommended doses or adjustments to the ratios from last round) this should be enough to get through the grow using mostly water and molasses, maybe a tiny application of bottled organics (only got 2 bottles really. alaska fish and alaska kelp) should there be an emergency need.
...what else should you know...oh yeah my cab is roughly 3sqft i think is what the math worked out to. 22"x22"x36"(lwh) i'll be growing in 1qt i think is what the math worked out to be. 6"square tapered pots. somewhere between 1-2qts as my final container. Since i only have 36 inches, 32 realistically to play with i'm trying to keep em short. they're both sativa strains and i wanna try and run all my test grows untopped "but if it has to happen, it's happnin' simple as that."
oh yeah one more thing, this is a hardmode production so if you're faint of heart, easily offended, or like to offer unsolicited "advice" save yourself the 5 clicks it's gonna take you to leave me neg rep and just leave now.
On with the show.
On or about Jan1 of the year of the borg 2014 i dropped 3x sativa loco, and 3x border haze in 2x shotglasses with funny shit on em and added half a shot of plain ol' flawda tap woah'ta to em and gently massaged the seeds under the surface so as to get them clean. then i waited. i went to work and came home and smoked weed and played battlefield3 for like 1 day and by the time i got home from work the next day. tadaaaa all 6 had cracked and had tails poking.
2 more days later (day 3.5) all were up except one guy wamp wamp wamp. oh well.
I immediately potted them into these little awesome 4inch square things they fit awesome in the 6" pots when i transplant. after about 3 more days we have this shit. that fucking growth is hands down and i'm not even lying the fastest seedling growth i have ever experienced. i dunno if it's this strain or just the coco, my mix or the lavish dose of Mykos Brand Mycorrhizae(might be this, shits fkn awsm) . i have 3 more seeds, next time i'll sprout em in plain old peat mix.
i see you notice those nute burned leaves, good eye. it's not too hot, i've found in my brief usage of coco that when the shit starts drying out the pH swings crazy hard. fuckin hank aaron. i'm still learning how to water coco so it's not overwatered or too dry. fuckin learning curve is wicked. but i'm gettin there. HardMode all day errr'day.
BorderHz=GREEN sticks / S.Loco=BLUE sticks. S.Loco is about 1 day ahead of the BHz even though the haze all had tails when i put em in and the SL only were cracked. dramatic growth on the SL.
...so yeah that was week one from seed.
