Hey, welcome to my new grow journal. Here is what is happening. Three plants outdoors, Godbud, Super Sour Haze, and Cinx.
Indoors, two Critical Blues and one Amnesia. Genetics on Critical Blue = Critical Mass, AK47, Mazar, Bluedream. I created Critical Blue, auto feminized seeds. They are great.
Outdoors, I dug big holes and filled with quality soil that has humus and different types of shit. I feed only with Liquid Seaweed and epsom salts as needed. Liquid seaweed helps the plant get all the micronutrients it needs as they are used up from the soil. The epsom salts is for magnesium and sulfur. I started to use this when I saw the top leaves all getting yellow from the centers. In a week, they were nice and green again.
Here is are pics of the SSH (Super Sour Haze)
My girlfriend's hands posing. Her hands are pretty long, though. These leaves are some of the biggest I have seen. I want to clone this strain later and keep her around.
Next is Godbud. She is a bit sad right now because of the heat. Signs of this are taco leaves, leaves get harder, they point down, not droop, and the edges are hard and look saw-like. To prevent this, I might have to get her a cooling net that only let's about 50% of the sun through.
She is using the same soil as the others, but she is in a 25 gallon pot.
Finally, here is Cinx. I need to get updates pictures. She has bushed out so much in just a few days. She is much bigger than in this pic. Actually, they are all much bigger after I started feeding them Liquid Seaweed. I am sold on the stuff.
It says to use 1 ounce per gallon of water, but I only use about 4-5 ounces per 25 gallons of water, and 1 once per 5 gallons of water.
I will try to get updates pics of the outdoors soon. They are still green and lovely.
Indoors, I am doing a couple things with the three autos, 2 Critical Blues, and 1 Amnesia. First, they are in 3 gallon pots made of recycled paper, which helps the roots breath. Amnesia is in a mix of coco and soil, and one critical blue is in a mix of coco-coil, the other in pure soil. All are in the same pots.
Room is 10 feet x 10 feet. 9 foot ceiling.
BTW- what grow shops sell as 3 gallon pots, are actually 1.6 gallons. That is how much water they hold. What they sell as 5 gallon pots, are actually 3 gallons.
Autos don't need huge pots, so these should do just fine. They should get to two feet. In a five gallon, probably three feet.
My indoor grow room has CO2, but I will not be using it this time around because I want to see how to autos do with and without it.
Lights - One 600w HPS, 1x 300 watt LED (draws 181w), and 1x 900w LED Mars II (draws 400w)
Medium - coco is coco, Humboldt forest humus, oyster shell, azomite
Soil is Natural Organic "Gardner & Bloome" Harvest Supreme (premium soil amendment) But I am also testing how plants grow straight in it, with nothing else.
Soil has - Fir bark, forest humus, rice hulls, %15 chicken shit, worm castings, bat shit, kelp meal, oystershell, lime Ph Adjusted, plus mycorrhizae.
One of the Critical Blues are in just the Gardner & Bloome Harvest Supreme only. I want to see how well this stuff grows all by itself.
I am only watering with liquid seaweed and drip clean. Once the autos start to flower, I will use a bloom nutrient bi Ion, or this one stuff from Wilco by Dr Organic or something that looks really good. It's all organic. I figured I would keep it organic.
I will give them epsom salts once they are bigger, perhaps two times in veg cycle, which is only about 30-40 days. They autoflower around day 30-40 and flower for another 40 days. Usually 80 days to finish from when they sprout.
How I sprout my seeds - I prepare warm water, ph it to 6.0, and add liquid seaweed, 1 ounce to a gallon. I soak them in this for a few hours, then I wet paper towles in PH 6.0 water, with a bit of humic acid. I squish out some of the water so the paper towel is damp.
I place seeds inside folded up paper towel, then place the paper towel inside a ziplock bag. Then I place the ziplock bag inside a box or paper bag to keep the light out. I then keep this in my growroom, which stays at 77-80 degrees.
In a few days, they have long tap roots and some have even broken out of the shell. I then rip rockwool cubes in half, place the root in there, leaving the top of the seed pointing out, or plant if it already broke the seed open, then I rubber band the rockwool so it stays together. I water it with ph 6.0-6.3, don't care that many say 5.5 works best. I like 6.0-6.3. Works great for me.
I keep them in a humidity dome until they sprout first true leaves, then I remove that. Leave in the open for a few days, being sure to water daily with ph water and liquid seaweed and root stimulator. (Liquid seaweed is probably all the root stimulator they need, though, so I might stop using the expensive stimulators.)
Once they grow like an inch tall, I place them rockwool cube and all inside a pot of coco, coco-soil, or soil. Doing different experiments, as always.
I bring in fresh air through an air conditioner.
I use a large dehumidifier, which isn't needed right now. It's powered on, but hasn't auto turned on as the humidity is staying at around 40-45. I have it set to 55, so if humidity goes over 55, it kicks on.
The air conditioner is set to be on all the time, so when the temp drops below 77, it kicks on to fans only.
I run three osilating fans in the room.
Most of the time, when not running the co2 tank, co2 levels stay around 450-600, usually around 600. They seem to drop to 450 when lights are out.
Light hours 18 hours of light. However, I leave one regular 13w cfl on 24-7.
Here are some pics of the Critical Blue. It is only five days old from sprouting from the rockwool.
This is what the pure Harvest Supreme looks like. And that is the little baby now.
Here is what the recycled paper pots look like. BTW, they do not get all soaking wet when you water. They remain hard, at least so far.
