Not sure if I’ll do an update today folks; running a fever of 101.5 right alongside hubby. I’ll check on Liv in a few hours, and she may need a new res solution if she drank more again last night - but thats ready to be mixed in an extra bucket and then I can just swap the two.

I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck and can’t get warm for anything (heat cranked up to 72 (unheard of in my house) and I’m in bed with fleece jammies and TWO blankets.

I would probably die without my sense of smell - cuz that also affects taste and I love to smell & taste GOOD food. Plus if I couldnt smell it or taste it, I wouldnt want to serve something to my guests that tastes like crapola.

Thanks guys - much improved over last night; still not 100% - but at least the chills and fever are mostly gone!
 
Thanks for the love everyone - last night i thought my teeth were going to crack from the chills
 
Ok folks! My new @Mars Hydro sponsored journal is now live and you will find it here
 
Wow I had a lot of catching up to do. Started here. Isn't it cool to work with others on the forum real closely to work your own grow? I see you ask a bunch of folks questions (I do too) and it seems like Felipe Blu pretty much is your coach for this. Seems much like Bill284 is basically running my coco grow. Yours is really cool to watch and read, especially for those of us with no hydro experience. Dude seems to be quite knowledgeable and helping you a ton. You're doing great, and now I'm on to the new journal! Welcome to the land of running multiple journals. It adds another layer of both fun and work. Labor of love.

Inviting all, but specially those who have given me such a warm welcome here:
@MochaBud @StoneOtter @Cola Monster @Tokin Roll @bluter @charliewaffles @Bill284 @Rexer @Krissi1982 @sneekymofo @LKABudMan @Dr Fish (Sorry if I missed anyone!)

  • Warm steam vaporizer to add humidity (when needed)
  • (2) 6” fans for additional air circulation
  • Distilled Water (using this because I have well water which isn't the best)

NUTRIENTS

STRAIN FOR THIS GROW:
  • Mephisto Genetics Double Grape Fem Auto
  • # of Plants? Will pop (hopefully) 6 seeds but only the 2 best seedlings will go into the buckets
Strain info from Mephisto Genetics website
  • Genetic Heritage - Sour Stomper x Grape Crinkle
  • Size - 55 - 80 cm
  • Structure - Average Medium height but bushy
  • Indica/Sativa - 60/40
  • Cycle Time - 65 to 70 days from sprout
  • Average Yield - 90 to 140 grams from a single plant
  • Cannabinoids - 21.78% THC from a random flower tested by Canna, Independent tests have seen as high as 27.53% total cannabinoids.
The next post here will be when my seeds have popped and I will try to keep up with a daily post:Namaste:

The following are notes that I went back and pulled from my last grow. These are only my notes for quick reference and are not intended to be instructions for anyone else (but feel free to use if you wish)

PRE-GERMINATION
  • Distill 1 gallon of water; verify that EC and PPM are at 0, and record PH. The following is seedling strength for nutes according to Botanicare.
  • Add 2ml of Cal/mag; should read:
    • EC: .2
    • PPM: 110
    • PH: 5.4
  • Add 7ml of CNS17 Grow; should read:
    • EC: .9
    • PPM: 430
    • PH: 5.5
  • Add 3ml Hydroguard and 1/16 tsp+life; EC, PPM and PH should still be the same.
  • Check in 24 hours to verify all stayed the same; adjust PH back down to 5.5 if necessary (only a drop or so needed!)
  • If all stays good, dilute that down 50% and use that strength to pre-soak rapid rooters in and use for watering seeds once they have popped
GERMINATION
  • Place seeds in warm water for 12 hours – seeds that sink are viable
  • Start soaking Rapid Rooters in seedling strength feeding solution
  • Lay paper towel in container with a lid, thoroughly dampen (not soak) the paper towel
  • Lay seeds on paper towel
  • Lay another paper towel on top and thoroughly dampen (not soak) the paper towel
  • Put lid on container and put container on heat mat at 78°
  • Check every 12 hours until sprouted with a decent tail
SPROUTED SEEDS
  • Split open a Rapid Rooter
  • Using tweezers, take seed from germination medium and lay in the Rapid Rooter, root down and seed near surface
  • Carefully close Rapid Rooter and put in greenhouse
  • Repeat for all sprouted seeds
  • Add greenhouse lid (close vent) and set on 80° heating mat under grow lights 36” from seedlings on 100% veg
  • Feeding Week 1:
    • 2ml/gal Cal/mag
    • 7ml/gal CNS17 Grow
    • 3ml/gal Hydroguard
    • 1/16 tsp/gal +life
  • Keep Rapid Rooters moist, but not soaked
Once plants are up from the rooter and have some height, pull the humidity dome off and turn on the little mini fans in the tent for air circulation and to start strengthening the stems.

PPM FEEDING LEVELS
  • Seedlings (5 nodes or less) – 100 to 350
  • Early Veg Stage – 350 to 450
  • Full Veg Stage – 450 to 700
  • Early Bloom Stage – 750 to 950
  • Ripening Stage – 1000 to 1600
PH up and PPM down = plant feeding
PH and PPM stays as water level drops = sweet spot
PH down and PPM up = plant isn’t feeding

SEEDLING
  • Lights 24” from seedlings 50% veg
  • 70-80% humidity; 70-80°
  • Hand-water seedlings in tray until they have 2-3 nodes
  • When seedlings have 2-3 nodes and decent roots, place the rapid rooters into hydroton, turn drip ring on 15 minutes 3x/day until roots come through netpot
  • Feeding Week 1:
    • 2ml/gal Cal/mag
    • 7 m/gal CNS17 Grow
    • 3ml/gal Hydroguard
    • 1/16 tsp/gal +life
VEGETATIVE STAGE
  • Lights 36” from plants 100% veg and 10% increase in bloom each week
  • Veg state: Lower RH 5% each week until 40-50% RH; 70-80° by day; 63-70° by night
  • Water should be slightly up netpot if roots are not through hydroton
  • Water should be just below netpot to no more than 1” below bottom of netpot when roots are through hydroton
  • Hydro PH should be between 5.5 and 6.4
  • Add straight PHd water (5.5) during week (no nutes)
  • At reservoir change (once/week) take mason jar of res water, add pinch +Life, pour back through hydroton
  • Snip off bad leaves to prevent plant wasting energy
  • Hotter tent temps may require dropping PPM
General feeding Guidelines
  • CNS17 Grow (50ppm/ml) 7ml/gallon (starting at 350ppm) until plants start to flower
  • Feeding Week 1
    • 2ml/gal Cal/mag
    • 17ml/gal CNS17 Grow
    • 3ml/gal Hydroguard
    • 1/16 tsp/gal +life
  • Feeding Week 2
    • 2ml/gal Cal/mag
    • 19ml/gal CNS17 Grow
    • 3ml/gal Hydroguard
    • 1/16 tsp/gal +life
  • Feeding Week 3
    • 2ml/gal Cal/mag
    • 20 ml/gal CNS17 Grow
    • 3ml/gal Hydroguard
    • 1/16 tsp/gal +life
FLOWERING STAGE
  • When pistils form, make note of date and move lights to about 14” from canopy
  • Flower state: 40-50% humidity 65-75° by day; 63-65° by night
  • 2 weeks before harvest drop RH to 30%
  • CNS17 Grow + CNS17 Ripe (50/50% mix) during first week of flower
  • CNS17 Grow + CNS17 Ripe (25/75% mix) during second week of flower; remove bottom 3rd of plant (all bud sites and leaves)
  • CNS17 Ripe (100%) week 3 until 1 week before harvest
  • Water should be ½ way down during last week of flower
  • Only PH’d water during last week of flower until harvest

Drying: 50% humidity 70°

Curing: 65% humidity 70°

Used General Hydroponics food partially in last grow
  • 3-part GH mixing for seedlings: 2:winkyface:2ml/gallon Micro, Bloom, Grow
  • Lucas GH mix: 2ml:4ml/gallon Micro, Bloom
