This will be my second grow.
I still have 3 Auto Amnesia Haze plants in the grow room.
The room is a converted closet in the garage.
The room is 8x4 but has shelves on the far end and door opens in.
Growing space is about 4x4. I have extra room behind door where I keep supplies like water, ph and ppm gauges and ph down (phosphoric acid)
I used double reflective insulation and stapled to walls.
I have one fan I screwed to wall above canopy.
I use an electric radiant heater.
I use an inexpensive humidifier which hold one gallon.
I set up an exhaust fan with a carbon filter bought on Amazon 4 inch and 195 cfm.
I drilled a hole in the floor which leads to basement for return air.
I screwed hooks into the wall which I hang water bags from. I will occasionally use these if I have to travel.
1/17/23 7 pm, I put an OG Ku

sh and Alien OG from Seed Supreme and a Rosetta Stone and Mota Hari from Brothers Grimm and shot glasses with natural local spring water with ppm of 45 and a pH of approximately 7.
!/19/23 6 AM the Alien OG, Rosetta Stone and Mota Hari popped and I planted.
10 hours later the OG Kush popped
I was nervous about the OG Kush because there were some reviews that mentioned none of the seeds popped. This was the only free seed.
These are all feminized photo period Seeds.
My first batch were all Auto’s.
I mixed perlite with Vigoro soil from Home Depot for the seedling. I put these in small Peat seedling pots
I will water with spring water with ppm of around 45 and And PH’d down to 5.9.
I am using a spray bottle but moistened soil 12 hours prior to planting. Hopefully it’s not too moist.
They are in a seedling dome and I will keep humidity above 85% and temperature at least 78 or 80F.
I just got three bags of ocean green Foxfarm soil I plan on mixing with some perlite and will make a super soil with nature’s living soil in the bottom of a 5 gallon fiber pot this weekend. They should let it cook a few weeks before the seedlings are ready to be transplanted.
During early veg, I will probably start using well water again which has ppm of about 140 and a pH of 8.3. I will pH it down with phosphoric acid. Probably will supplement with Foxfarm nutrients as I have much left over after my first grow.

Somehow I planted Mota Hari and Rosetta Stone in one pot. I carefully transplanted one seedling to a new pot. The tap root was slightly longer than the stem you see. Luckily these are both derived from Brother's Grimm and came from crosses of Jack Herer. Next time I grow I will be more careful. All seeds sprouted the free OG cush is a bit behind but should do okay. All 4 seeds sprouted.

1/21/23 made soil mix For soil mix
  • three bags of 12 qt ocean green fox farm in potting soil on top 2/3 of 5 gallon grow bag( added to 4 grow bags)
 
1/21/23 seeds planted. Lights were on a 24 hour cycle. That is how I started auto's. But I think 18/6 is better. Had to get another timer set up.

1/24/23 change light cycle to 18/6.

notes: these feminized seeds popped twice as fast as last auto run I did with paper towels. Thees were popped in a shot glass with ph 7 spring water.

These are also growing about twice as fast. I am now ph'ing water to 5.9

They are more leggy with much more stretching than last run. Not sure why. They are fairly close to the light and grown in a seedling dome with cfl light. Maybe 24 hour lighting initially. The initial planting was done in soil which I think was more moist than my first run. Maybe different genetics as first run was Amnesia Haze Auto

1/28/23 transferred to grow room with no dome. Plants fell. Straightened out and used tooth pick for support rosetta stone

1/29/23 1 gallon pots prepared
1 tbsp gypsum/ 1 tsp epson salt/ perlite to 4 gallons and then partiioned
Watered pots with molasses
1/29/23 foliar spray with .1 ml rev( humic acid)
1/31/2023 Foliar spray yesterday and today

2/1/2023 ordered Azomite rock dust 10 lbs, kelp, alfalfa, neem seed
Bought pine mulch medium size
Bone meal

2/1/2023
Added 1 tsp bone meal, 1 tsp Epson salt and 1 more tbsp gypsum to each 5 gallon pot
decided to just go straight to 5 gal instead of 1 gallon. had barely enough room.

Transplanted seedlings into 5 gallon pots.
I took about 2/3 gallon out of pot first.

Used mycorrhizal fungi 1/2 tsp

Alien OG very wet- peat pot absorbed water from tray

After transplant I covered about 1 inch of stem due to leggy appearance of all seedlings.
Rosetta stone showed signs of overwater after transplant. One hour later she was praying to the light

Humidity is lower than I want 40-50%
Temp day 76-80 night 68-74
Humidity down to 37%
Turned humidifier on high yesterday and added another one near seedlings

Outside temp is 15°F. Electric heater probably on a lot drying out air

Og kush PPFD 260
Rosetta Stone 295
Mota Hara 227
Alien OG 287

I have heard good things about Brothers Grimm. This is my second grow. I have not grown them before. I also bought Capt junkie and and a jack herer gluey mix. He has about eight or nine other strains including what you mentioned that I want to grow out as well but I should take it slow. I just bought some lemon haze and pineapple Express from premium seed market. I will get to check out that cultivar as well. I'm somewhat excited as these are regular seeds so I will get a chance to sling pollen.

On this grow I will get to compare final results between brothers Grimm and a large bank, seed supreme.
I finally cut down my first grow so it is nice to have some room in my grow room. I also just ordered some seeds to do microgreens to utilize the spare space of the grow room. I definitely eat more than I smoke.
I just took a few pictures of the plants to give everyone a follow-up

Alien OG droopy
Foliar spray
Sarah watered while I was away.
Soil mid to level moist
Will check later probably water tomorrow
Added 1/8 tsp K+Silicate to water
2/14 Add tsp worm castings to gallon bottle of water
Add 1 ml cal mag to 1/2 gallon

2/20 top dressed 2 tablespoons of Dr. Earth homegrown and watered with 250 ml of fish tank water
2/21 Rosetta Stone was thirsty. I gave it 300 mL of nutrient mix made 2/19. Some minimal top fluid to other plants, but did not really water. Trying to keep top a bit moist as they s is mostly organic run. Each one got maybe 10 to 15 cc's.
Slight upward curling Rosetta stone. Probably light and heat stress.
deceased light to 560 PPFD. switched positions with og kush. RS was closest to electric radiator. Alien OG showed similar symptoms 1 week ago.

Thanks Gee. Hopefully I could keep it going to the finish line. Last time I got into a problem three weeks before harvest. I sampled about a 20th gram of larg which was only drying for 3 days. It certainly was effective but a little harsh. I think the real proof will be 3 to 4 weeks from now. I plan on trimming this weekend then the curing begins.
