Hello, everyone! That's how is saying "Hi!" usually in English within my motherland, beautiful, powerful and bright country, Russia.
Should introduce myself first. My name is Vladimir, the rest I can't tell you, it's TOP SECRET, due to things what we all do on our own. But if they knew, that I'm doing here, I would have to allow to do it for them, but I can't, b/c a lot of people have a lot of money from this. It doesn't matter.
Briefly:
Strains: 1 x auto fem White Widow, 1 x auto fem Northern Light
Bucket size: 2 gallons
Lights: 1 x 200w CFL
Cooling: 1x 10''
Indoor/Outdoor
Medium - common one from a market + from the neighbor garden.
Nutrition: one from a market
I started with 3 girls, but one hasn't sprouted at all.
Now I have 1 x American Pale Ale, 1 x Victory's Auto Feminised White Widow, 1 x Top Seeds Auto Fem Northern Light. Frankly, I don't have some pro equipment or even pro-nutrition, I don't give a "trukh" about ph or any other pros hit. Back to the business.
I put them at first in the water for 24 hours. Later put 'em into the moist toilet paper. Next 48 hours they were ready to be planted. I planted them into small pit pots, found in a market, where I bought the soil, nutrition, and future pots. I watered them every day, b/c of they are small and CFL is making a very dry climate into the box. Ah, yes, the grow box - made from 4 card boxes with a white tape and aluminum foil. I will attach the photos later.
So they have shown quite long roots on the third day, so I move them to the soil in the evening.
2 days later I had 2 small girls shown over.
So they started their run in the peat pots.
Day#9
Anjelina rejected to live. So sad. She was the most potential girl and the last of her kind. But we still have the other girls and they are growing everyday. Mama Sita is a little bit bigger then but they both already have shown the next pairs of leaves.
Day#10(May, 4th)
Nothing changes. They are growing, not as fast as I want, but it teaches me patience. The color is lighter. I suppose it's so because of different kind. I'm watering them everyday. The humidity is quite low. So I'm extra watering Anjelina's pot to increase it. Current levels are 27,5C and 43%. But usually they are worse(>28C and <35%). But for now it's okay and I believe when they will go to the bigger pots, levels will stabilize. Because bigger volume of soil is keeping moisture much longer then 100 ml pot
Day#13
They successfully were moved to the 2 gallons.
Day#17-20
Have nothing to tell, only that I suppose I did the usual newbie mistake, overwatered Mama Sita, her leaves rounded in. But I just waited for few days until the soil was really dry and watered again.
Day#21
Something went wrong. Could somebody help me to identify the problem? The very first leaves, the edges actually get brown. Hopefully it's not a big problem.
Should say that still haven't put any nutrition. Watered - only when they need it. Light - is for 24/7. Could it be the problem? Distance from the bulb to them is like 10''. Temp is under 80. Humidity - is more now, I left the doors to my box opened so air is more humid, like 50%.
