Starting a grow journal for my next grow which is just purely sunflowers taking a small break from growing buds.
Soil - Pro Mix HP
Water- Tap no PH
Seeds - Little Becka dwarf sunflowers from Burpee
Pots- Maui Mike's Soft Pots 3gals
Drip tray- 12inch no pot elevators.
Lights- HLG 320 V2
Exhaust- AC Inifinity Cloudline T4
Lighting schedule- currently running it on 12/12 but for today since i cleaned out the tent from my cannabis grow it is only going to be on for about 4 hours 6am-6pm ( currently 2pm ). will be swapping light schedule to 16/8 once seeds are close to sprouting as well as dropping the lights down lower.
all i did was fill the pots 3/4th the way add Myko's NON WP, add a layer of pro mix, More myko's, seed ontop ( 1 per pot just incase i didn't want to waste seeds since i only got 30 so if they don't sprout i can just add more seeds later on ), last layer was just a very thin layer of Pro mix. Watered with a little over a gallon of tap water since it's on the colder side ( rain water outside is hot didn't want to fry the roots in the future ) also added 20ml of voodoo juice. a little excessive but in the end the voodoo juice will inoculate the soil with microbes and mine is going to expire in a few months with more then half the bottle left.
this is my very first time growing flowers besides cannabis. i have no idea wtf i am doing so this is going to be an interesting grow. these are dwarf sunflowers so they shouldn't get too big and i honestly don't expect them to get very big since it is my first time. i am just hoping all 10 germinate and sprout some of the seeds looked kind of bad like they were old ( they were sunken in like someone sucked the air out of um ). i got them in 3gal pots because i read they dislike to be transfered so i went with the biggest pot they would need which was 3gals. i did not water the entire pots i just watered over the seedlings by hand gently as i could to not wash away the seeds. i am expecting to be watering almost daily/every other day. it is hard to judge though because they are in big pots from the start. i only have experience starting off in solo cups then moving small seedings into 3gals then i can gauge watering based on that.
putting this journal out just for those interested. will be updating daily once they show any sign of actions of sprouting but it states 7-10 days until then
