Karma was so nice to bless me with a care package of goodies to keep me growing for as long as I am healthy enough to grow my own weed. Just wanted to give me something good to grow and be happy with. Great guy. Please don't bother him for seeds as I am unaware if the test thread will ever take off.
Thank you Karma!!!
I will do my best to update weekly when things get interesting and every two weeks at worse when things are in the boring phases. I would be further along but switched my tent out and run a different setup, semi sealed room. Plus a boo boo on my part.
I will grow in a 5x5 DR150 tent running two 600 watt HPS dimmed to 450 watts. This run I want my temps down from the mid 80's I normally had to grow in. With dimmed lights I can run 78 - 80 at canopy.
I use Maxigro and maxibloom as nutrients. RO water with some tap mixed back to 100ppm. I may switch to 30ppm RO and 50 - 70 ppm CalMag when seedlings get bigger. My well water is not consistent. Medium is straight coco in three gallon buckets.
My health is shit and I cant run the numbers I used to. This grow will end up with two or three plants if I get the females needed out of five seedlings.
Here is a pic of how I store my seeds. Vac sealed jars with rice by breeder stored in fridge.
Here are the seed packs.
Here is the tent almost complete setup.
I will post pics of seedlings when the runt catches up some. I have to admit I killed five seeds at the start. I was having a bad week and wore myself out setting up tent etc. I had wife make water and she used full strength CalMag plus and nutes that singed the seedlings. I culled them as I want perfection.
I cracked ten seeds total between the two batches with 100% germ rate. Out of those ten I culled one due to seed hull sticking very badly to plant and got damaged. Out of the rest I have one runt Crumbled Lime. It too had a seed hull stick and deformed first true leaves. It will bounce back quickly.
The seeds all cracked in 12 - 24 hours in paper towel. Out of coco next two days. Very vigorous.
There you go. I will post pics soon, in next few days.
Anxious to see the finished product.
Any info from karma is appreciated too. Like what stretch to expect etc.
I am running a closer temp differential than normal for me now too. Should help keep the stretch down.
Enough rambling. I hope I do Karma justice.
Oh ya, here is a pic of light spectrum with dimmed ballast. The data comes from Eye Hortilux.
Questions?
