Super Buff Cherry - The First Five

Hello There,

Welcome to my grow journal, the setup is as follows:
  • 5x5 ft Tent
  • 4x4 ft Soil Bed
  • 125+ Gallons of BaS 3.0 blend (2nd cycle, 8 cuft added)
  • 680w 6-bar Mint White LED
  • ACInfinity for fans, exhaust, humidifier, and controller
I have been strongly convinced, through experimentation in my own grows and from reading, that sticking to the correct VPD range keeps these plants happy and thriving. So that is always my goal, control the environment. I still may such at watering, but with such a massive bed I figured there would be a learning curve.

Seed Selection:
I'll be honest and admit that I saw the black/maroon pheno pics going around and just went for it. I grew a $2 seed (back when they had those at NASC) and it turned into what others have described as the strongest green they have ever had in their life. So in my mind any seed has the potential. And I was a betting man on the cross that made this. I am hoping for some more of the superboof to show through on these ladies, we'll see.

Step One: To the damp paper towel with you...

  • Seeds placed into damp paper towel
  • Paper towel folded over
  • Damp paper towel with seeds placed into ziploc bag, gently
  • Ziploc bag closed ONLY PARTIALLY
  • Partially open zip lock with damp paper towel & seeds placed on shelf, out of direct sunlight

Step Two: You are destined for soil...

All 5 popped in less than 24 hours.

  • Fill peat container with Heady Seedling Soil from BaS
  • Poke indent in soil with finger
  • Sprinkle rootwise myrcobe complete in the indents
  • Drop seeds into hole, orient upside down or on their side
  • "Close" the hole, cover gently with soil
  • Water lightly

Step 3: Grow

In hindsight, I dont like the peat planter pots. I really dont like this first part of the grow, it's unnerving. I dont have the humidifier running yet but probably should.

Now I will attempt to embed a full image instead of attaching it like some kind of animal.

Stage: Veg

Moving along we got a transplant coming, excited to finally get them in the bed. If it's anything like last round, there will be a week before they start to explode in size.

Water:
Light watering. Admittedly, this is my weakest link, I need to get better at watering the correct amount and frequency.
  • B6
  • Rootwise myrcobe complete
  • Potassium Silicate powder
Amendments:
None this week.

Training:
Nothing yet, sometimes I flick them (lightly!) when they are this young if they look hearty enough. But I babied these ones, spendy seeds haha.

Nice start on the thread. Soil bed grows are usually pretty interesting to watch. Gonna tag along here. Ya obviously know what your doing so this should be fun.

That vpd thing. Yeah, good idea to follow the chart. Ya don't have to be exact but keeping them close in range will make them happier.

@FmSwayze this dude here is playing with the DLI end of the spectrum. Check his thread out. He's on to some interesting stuff. I been growing for years and this guy is drawing me in like a curious cow...lol

Transplanted. This is when I get to see how well I've been doing at watering. Last round it was obvious I didn't water enough, they held together this round though so I think I was more on the over watering side. The peat pots lent a hand in that, but I was able to just peel those away and place the root/dirt ball into the prepped hole in the bed. I sprinkled rootwise myrcobe complete in the spots in the bed they will be dropped into. I tore up whatever was left of the peat pots and left them as a mulch layer.

Water:
Watered in to cement the transplant. It's a big bed of soil, gotta make sure it's not soppy wet before they get big enough to drink it also.
  • B6
Amendments:
  • Rootwise Myrcobe Complete
Training:
Yeah, no. Not on transplant day.
