First of all I would like to say Hi to everybody here at rollitup. I have been following posts and grow journals on this forum for around 6 months now and have gained masses of great information and advice. Thank you to all that spend the time and make the effort to share their wisdom with others. ![Very Happy :grin: :grin:](/styles/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
So here is some information on my grow (currently on day 8 from seed (day 5 above soil)):
I germinated 7 think different seeds using the paper towel method after 12 hours in a shot glass of water and I can't stress enough how important it is to do this in a warm dark place. Altogether germination took around 40 hours. 6 were successful with 1 failure. I replaced the failed seed with 1 northern lights blue auto seed which popped so I now have 6 think different and 1 northern lights blue. I have read nothing but praise about both strains and am amazed by the yields people have achieved using think different in a scrog.
I planted the seeds 1/4" deep in my soil mix straight into my final 10L pots as I don't want to have to transplant my plants at a later date due to them being autos.
I didn't mix my soil to exact ratios but here is a rough guide to what I used:
60% canna coco
20% pure worm castings
20% clay pebbles
The lights I am using are 3 x 300w Dual Spectrum CFLs. I have started with 2 and will introduce the third when needed. I had the lights around 1 meter above the soil and gradually lowered the lights as the seedlings emerged. The lights are now around 8-10" above the plants (This will vary based on the temperature at plant height). I have an inline vent bringing in fresh air from outside, an oscillating fan and an extractor attached to a carbon filter.
I am running my lights, inline vent and fan on a 20/4 rota and have the extractor running 24 hours a day.
I've been giving the plants small amounts of water and allowing the soil to almost dry out before re-watering and today fed them with with a worm castings tea.
I will be using Advanced nutrients (grow, bloom and overdrive) and blackstrap molasses when they are ready.
I had a lot more information on this post which was deleted when I tried to post and this is all that the auto save feature saved so i'm going to re-upload the pictures and post again as it is. Pissed off to say the least!![Evil or Very Mad :evil: :evil:](/styles/smilies/icon_evil.gif)
Thanks for looking guys, stay tuned![Wink ;-) ;-)](/styles/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
