Welcome everyone to my fun and experimental solo cup grow! This thread is more for something to do I think and to take up some unused space lol. Anyone that is willing to pitch in some ideas for these plants, maybe some side by side experiments, torturing, topping, whatever might be interesting to try if the plants will take it. Lets see what we can do
Strain is Freedom Dream - These are supposed to be a high CBD strain (8-12%) but I can't really find a lot of info on it, they are some of the seeds from Dana Larsen's "Overgrow Canada" tour that I had left after giving a bunch away. Rumored to be a cross of Blue Dream and Freedom 15 or Freedom Baby... Not really sure, wish I could find more info on them..
Dirt they will be in is my 100% organic soil less seedling starter mix, mostly made up of sphagnum peat moss, I added 25-30% more perlite to the mix
Light they will be under is just a 430W HPS with a batwing reflector, will start off with the light a little farther away so we don't harm the young seedlings. If I notice the first few aren't liking the HPS right off the start I will throw them in the veg tent somehow.
Room temperature when I have the HPS on along with the fluoro's in the veg tent is around 25.. It could get higher, that was just a test run. Hopefully with autumn starting and winter on its way I can keep the room cooler than that since it drives my veg tent up to close to 30+/-.. RH sits around 50-60 upstairs lately.
I will give these plants some light nutrients to see what they can do for this strain, it will be the GH Flora Series trio along with Armour Si for added silica.
That's about it I think to get us started.. There is nothing special about this grow. I am simply seeing what these plants can do, what kind of bud they produce and having some fun with it along the way. All of this product in the end will likely be made into oil which should be high in CBD.
So far just a couple of pictures for ya, I haven't turned the HPS on yet. I got 8 seeds in dirt already, just waiting for more to germinate. If not enough out of the 20 I put down crack, I will put some more into paper towels until we get 20.
