Re: Scop's First Grow-Under Stair CFL DIY Grow Box In Soil-Vanilla Kush,Super Lemon H
The Blue Widow popped its head above the soil sometime last night - I love seedlings!
It's currently on a 24/7 schedule under 4 32 watt cfl's.
Pictures of the progress tonight!
I'll start a new journal for the Blue Widow and Fruit Automatic (both by Dinafem seed company) sometime soon to make it easier to follow along. The Fruit Automatic got planted last night and I expect it to pop its head above the soil either tonight or tomorrow.
Both seeds were started in my usual way. First I carefully seperate one seed from the pack and drop it in a small cup with some water.
After a few hours of soaking (at least 2 usually) I dump some of the water into a folded peice of paper towel on a small plate.
I put the seed on the paper towel and place a second folded peice of paper towel on top, followed by a top plate.
I than put the plate sandwich into a drawer. After about 24-36 hours the seeds have usually cracked and have a bit of a tail (2-4mm).
I drop the seed into a small hole (try to get the tail pointing down) in a 16 oz cup that I have prepared with moistened soil and lightly cover the seed with more soil.
I have just recently started putting a clear ~12oz cup upside down (with holes drilled into the bottom)on top of the other cup, as sort of a humidity dome. I don't know if it helps or not, but I remove it no more than 24 hours after the seedling is above the soil.
The seedling will grow in the cup for about 10-12 days before being transplanted into a bigger pot (11 or 17 L is what I have now)
I usually go straight into the big pot for the Automatics, but I didn't have any ready at the time... We'll see how it turns out!
The Mutant Diesel Ryder is getting its last light's on today and will be placed in darkness for 2 days before I chop it.
It's super crystally and the trics are all cloudy, as far as I can see with my naked eye, but I will only get a few grams from this plant
oh well! It will be good practice for drying and curing(and smoking
)
