Hello all and thanks go taking the time to read my topic.
I currently purchased 4 Seeds From Herbies Autoflower seeds at Autofloweringseeds.com is this place legit? They give out autoflower seeds with every purchase so I received a 5th seed for free... Not bad huh? Oh btw the seed is a Royal Queen Norther Light Autoflower. Figured it was good because it is pretty pricey as an individual seed.
Here are the Strains I Purchased
- Advanced Biodiesel Mass Feminised-17%THC
- 3 Advanced Auto Somango Feminised-15%
- Royal Queen Northern Lights - 15-20% THC
I'm only going to be planting 2 at a time. Which 2 do you think I should start with first for the easiest first time grow?
Here's my setup
What is this? Haha
Front Panel Off
Trellis for ScrOG Training or LST
Carbon Filter
CFL Bulbs 2 5000k 1 2700k for Dual Spectrum
-
I'm going to be starting my seedlings in a glass cup of water to germinate for 24 hrs then transfer to a makeshift germination tray where they will sit on individual damp paper towels until they sprout to 1/4"
Make shift Germination Tray
Lid Off
Once Sprouted I am going to be transferring the seedling into my rockwool cubes where they will be surrounded by hydroton expanded clay pellets.
----Question----
Which side if it matters do I plant the seedling? Would I plant assuming the sprout is the roots?
For the next Two weeks I will be just watching the sprout grow and start to train my girls depending on their size.
----Question----
Should I keep the plants as close to the lights as possible to keep them short or since I'm in a limited space does it matter? If I need to I can put them on my trellis stacked up on books or cd cases for the first 2 weeks. Let me know what would be ideal for the specific plants.
At week 3 I am going to introduce them to a light Veg Feeding at half of 1/8 teaspoon. I will also be changing my reservoirs water and replacing it with fresh Ph balanced water with nutes
Week 4 I am going to clean the reservoir and increase the feed amount to the recommended amount.
At this point I'm not sure when I need to start the flowering process and when to switch from veg to flower nutes? Help here is much needed!!!! Lol
Let me know if I have the right set up to keep a constant personal supply going?
How big of a yield am I looking at here! I need to know if I need to just go ahead and upgrade soon if need be.
I am going to be keeping this as my first grow journal.
Support is appreciated!
Hope you enjoy my journey
Update #1 9/05/2013 (Grow box upgrade)(Weeks 5-10 schedule complete)
Stealth Grow Box Upgrades
Light trap on intake fan blocking out red/orangish light!
Second Trellis Installed to stop Buds from reaching the lights. Do you think this would be necessary because in a way it seemed like a pretty decent idea.
New Reflective sheeting used with mylar?
I was installing some things and scratched my mylar walls pretty good and am really tired of dealing with mylar sheeting so I looked for an alternative. Is this ok to do?
Will be updating soon.....
Week 5
Increase Veg feed to 1/4 Tsp. Also I will due the usual fresh water and nutes with balanced ph
Week 6
Drop the veg nutes to 1/8 tsp and introduce your girls to the flower nutes at half of 1/8 tsp(which is a pretty good pinch if nutes just to introduce them.
Week 7
Clean Reservoir
Stop veg nutes and go to 1/8 tsp of flower or bloom nutes. This will have your girls budding in no time.
Week 8
Clean reservoir
Increase feed to 1/4 tsp and watch the buds get fat.
Week 9 1/2 & 1/2
First half (Mon, Tues, Wed)
Clean reservoir and ween your girls from the bloom nutes and feed them only 1/8 tsp for this half week.
Second Half (Thursday, Friday,bSaturday and Sunday)
Clean reservoir and only balance the ph and let your girls flush from the nutes. At this point they should be looking good.
Week 10 - 11 (Flushing)
Clean Reservoir and Balance the ph . Let your girls enjoy the fresh water for this final week before harvesting starts. You can wait a little longer if necessary to continue flushing and let your girls get a little more growth if needed.
Harvesting -- Coming Soon!!!
