Every since I started my grow outside in April, I have wanted to do a grow inside but knew I needed to keep the tent free for drying the outdoor harvest. Plus I was using it for a while to turn a female into male with colloidal sliver for pollen to breed with.
And so it has now started...
SEEDS (from CropKing her in Vancouver):
CBD Blueberry Fem, 16:1 ( From their site: "crossbreeding Blueberry and OG Kush CBD, which belongs to the phenotype, Indica Dominant, and CBD Feminized. The flowering period is about 60 to 65 days" )
CBD Strawberry Fem, 15:1 (No strain specs given on site but " flowering period that only lasts seven up to 9 weeks ")
My plan is to LST and veg for 5 weeks or so (depends on height and how well they have progressed) then switch to 12/12 and wait for flower to start before counting down the days. Maybe a FIM, not sure yet.
TENT: Mars Hydro 4x2x5' tent with AC Affinity Cloudline T6 6" fan <--love this thing!
ONTO THE GROW:
This is a quick overview of the last few days that needs to be caught up on. I didn't want to start a journal until both seeds popped.
13OCT20: After lightly scoring and soaking the seeds in room temperature tap water for 18 hours, seeds were placed directly into solo cups with ProMix All Purpose Soil and pre-watered @ 7:30am with un-Ph'ed water with a little hydrogen peroxide and superthrive added. Some ProMix root hormone was also added to the cavity each seed was place into.
When placing seeds into the soil, it looked like the BB (blueberry) had a tap root starting already. After covering the seeds with medium and watering slightly again as to ensure the seeds settled into the soil, I put zip lock bags, with a corner cut off, over cups to increase humidity.
My Mars Hydro SP150 light was placed approx. 36” away, on an 18-6 schedule, which provides about 375 ppfd at that distance. Trying to keep the temperature of the tent between 70-79F. No need for nutes until they are transplanted into 1 gal pots of ProMix HP.
Will be using Mega Crop as the fertilizer this time around and excited to try it out. I believe it is V2 - grey with balls.
14OCT20: No sprouts yet but that is expected. Added a little bit more water to each as my initial dose didn’t seem enough and sealed the zip lock bags over the cup again. Wait and see.
15OCT20: The BB plant has sprouted cleanly. Still waiting on the SB. Added a few tablespoons of water to the SB as she was seeming dry - by weight.
16OCT20: Strawberry has popped today. Yay! We are one our way. Will leave them as is with bags over top for increase humidity until they have grown much larger.
Follow along, give me advice, stop me from doing stupid sh*t
, or just learn from my progress and many mistakes. LOL
Let the grow commence!!
