Hello, this year I am going to take advantage of my rooftop and balcony. I'm vegging by putting the plants out on the balcony whilst it gets direct sunlight 7 hours.. and bringing them inside to a couple of boxes lit by cfl's 9 hours..4 hours in the morning before they go out and 5 hours when they come back in.. for flowering they will be transported to the rooftop greenhouse. I hope to veg the first batch for 5-6 weeks and the second batch for 8-9 weeks. About 3 weeks ago I began to germinate about 30 seeds. I sowed about 20 seeds directly into sunshine premix #8 little cups and 2 groups of five one after the other paper towel method. Well..after a bogus souvenir pack. Non germinating seeds and a few accidents , most involving a puppy . I am here now with a total of 23 plants in 2-3 weeks from sprouting. 1 greenhouse lemon skunk feminised. 1 la reservada purple og 18 feminised. 1 cannabiogen pakistan chitral kush feminised.1 dutch passion frisian dew feminised. 2 eva seeds amnesia x deisel (excalibur) freebies feminised. And 17 regular seeds from a growroom that had strictly dinafem genetics crosses of critical+ . moby dick and some i cant remeber right now when i find out ill post it. The regular seeds i put directly in cupsw/ premix and the fem i pp towelled them no particular reason why i did it that way but i found that i got the paper towel ones to sprout faster. Anyway. I transplanted 11 of the regular sprouts when i saw roots on the bottom to medium pots and tge remaining 6 directly to theyre finishing pots. They do not seem to be affected by the transplant. Its SUPER dry here so i mist them frequently when theyre indoors and i began to foliar feed them just one drop of seaweed extract diluted in about 600ml sodium free bottled water once a day for about 3 days now. I think ill space out the foliar feedings to 1- twice a week . I am not a pro Im doing what I can with what i have I hope not to over do things like a lot of new growers and like I have done on my 2 grow. This would be my 3rd. 1st was photo grow open rooftop grow second autoflower indoors.. This is Mountain grow because i am Mountain climate. Around 10 thousand feet elevation full sunshine all year during the day get around 85 feels like 95 at night cools down to 40 sometimes below my
rooftop gets more sunlight than balcony rooftop around 11- 12 hours sunlight and super dry all the time.2 parts Sunshine premix #8... 1 part organic disinfected soil compost horse/ cow manure mix....and 1 part worm castings. I have ph strips that are designed for swimming pools and have been giving them tapwater with a drop of lime juice to get the ph down a bit because it read 8 and a tich.and after the drop of lime 7 and a tich The premix is at ph 5.5 and the organic soil says it ranges from 5.5 to 8.5 and the worm castings idk. And i have not collected enough runoff to ph test it because the pool strips are only effective apparently after being submerged in 6 inches deep of water. I hear tapwater has a lot of salts and may have adverse reactions when combined with fertilizer so im going to switch to sodium chloride Free bottled water. The water comes with some magnesium sulfate and potassium chloride .It is what i have for now before i can get RO filters to my area hopefully it doesnt present a prob this time around. I have some pictures and i will be posting individual strain photos and progress to recieve as much help as possible in every aspect of the grow. About 4 seedlings became victim to a puppys rampage 1 was uprooted but saved and the rest have 1 or 2 leaves missing it was a sad day. But 2 of the deleaved seedlings have continued to progress while one sort of stayed there. I Hope to be able to document this from start to finish.
