ok so for the last several weeks i've been getting together a few bits and pieces i've had lying around for an outdoor grow in the next season. i'm was busy when first getting these things going and forgot to take down the exact dates, so i'm going to have a guess. it's all relative anyway haha.
grown from seed - @ 2.5 weeks (28/05/10)
- Power Plant (1) (fem seed)
freebies received with other orders - @ 2 weeks (28/05/10)
- Power Kush (5)
- Mandala Safari Mix (3)
(regular seeds, males WOOO time to stuff around with some seed production breeding/crosses.)
according to mandala seeds the safari mix "contains a mix of seeds from various experimental crosses in our breeder lab". so unsure what i've got here but oh well no harm in growing them out.
grown from clones - @ 4 weeks (28/05/10)
- White Widow (4)
- Power Plant (2)
a few months has been given to get them to a reasonable size before putting them out in the big bad wild.
gear
measurements
- ec meter
- ph meter
- soil ph meter
- soil moisture meter
- temp/humidity meter
soil mix
ratio (approx. 25%/25%/50%)
- (3 cups) Seasol 5in1 organic plant food
- (2.5 cups) Perlite
- (6 cups) Osmocote premium potting mix
- (2tps) Iron Sulphate (soil acidifier)
water additives
- ph Lower
- Superthrive
- Seasol (organic nutrients)
- Plant Starter (root stimulant)
ph of water is at 6.40, it's low for now as the soil ph is close to 7 so when the soil comes down to 6.80 i'll match the water ph to 6.80.
for seedlings - water mix = 2ml seasol, 1 drop super thrive, 3ml root stimulant for ~1L. EC = 0.35
i'll only use this once a week, the rest of the time (every few days) i'll water with plane ph adjusted tap water.
for clones - water mix = 2-3 cap lids of seasol, 1ml super thrive, 2-3 cap lids of root stimulant for ~10L. EC's = 0.45
other
- Ski goggles - eye protection for lights
- jiffy pellets - clones/seeds
here're some photos my friends!
