This is my 3rd grow and I am pretty excited about it, given that my first failed miserably during the seedling stage, due to ignorance, impatience, but mostly lack of water and boiling temperatures. My second grow was all bag seed, but it was moving just fine that I didn't care as long as I was gaining valuable experience. And I was. My second shot was a charm: 55 days from seed I had somehow managed to keep all that germinated alive, eight beautiful plants that were all but asking me to flip the lights to 12/12. On this occasion, any fear I had of seeing my crop die due to inexperience yielded to a more ominous threat known as my girlfriend, which, appropriately, I will refer to as "The Brat".
The destruction she caused, I must admit, I saw coming. After a night of drinks, there was an argument at the apartment that erupted like a volcano, with the nastiest of insults being shouted back and forth. This was actually what I would consider normal for our relationship at the time. At the height of the argument was her with her ear to the phone threatening to call the police and have me revealed for my par-takings. In the end, the threat turned out only to be a false alarm, a mere attempt to put me in my place, show me that I had better watch how much shit I gave her. Nonetheless, the moment was so intense, so frightening, that I decided with my heart racing to erase all doubt and pull the crop. Officially, that is where my second grow ended. Here's my third:
Paradise Seeds Northern Lights, Onyx by Short Stuff, White Berry, bag seed I found in the crumb-infested depths of the couch.
All four seeds germinated successfully via the surefire wet paper towel method. Placed in soil, everyone except White Berry popped up after less than 2 days. Unnecessarily, I groped the soil at the top of the WB container hoping to see a sprout. I did, but my unwarranted probing resulted in the destruction of a very young, fragile, and innocent seedling that probably wanted nothing more than to go at its own pace. I uprooted the delicate seedling by the taproot, and despite efforts to remedy the stress, it never recovered.
This grow began approximately 18 days ago. In a perlite/soil mix, the young seedlings were placed just inches below cfl's. Each received 24 hours of constant light generated by 4 23-watt 6500K bulbs per seedling.
To get everyone caught up to this point, I will be posting random pictures of the babes as well as the current light setup, which is a 400 watt mh enclosed in a homemade air cooled hood.
