Hello and welcome :Cool:
I thought I should start my own journal to maybe bypass a few common mistakes with kind help of more experienced growers
Anyway, I got 3 Dutch Passion Power Plants (fem) and 1 Dutch Passion AutoXtreme.
I got a pack of 3 seeds of AutoX and to the day just on has managed to show tale so it went to the soil.
So it's day 10/1/0 (Soak [read: total]/soil/pop up from soil). I decided to break it down this way to show other newbies how long IN REALITY does it take, since all we see is "flowering time" here and there which is just misleading.
[That's a 10L air-pot].
The other 2 seeds are still in soak but I'm afraid they won't make it since it took the one above 10 days to germinate and the remaining 2 haven't even open
Now comes the interesting part: 3 DP Power Plants which are going to become bonsai moms (I plan to do a sea of green thing).
Got to mention that they are fem seeds. I know there are different takes on the ability of feminized seeds to be mother plants but it's too late to change anything hehe. If they fail to be mothers I will just flower them.
Day 11/6/4 (Soak [read: total]/soil/pop up from soil).
The one in the middle was the first one to show from the soil.
The one close to camera seemed kinda sick but after a day or two started to chase the middle one.
The one in the back is a different pheno - short and VERY strong. Also it's color is somewhat darker:
Mother's closet =)
Now this should be interesting since I've read tons of threads everywhere but never seen anything like this before. It is pretty easy to come up with actually.
The mother/clone space setup:
Break down:
- the white plates on the left hand side is where the 2 remaining DP AutoX seeds are trying to show proof of life =)
- the dark vertical thing on the left hand side is a sticky fly catcher. The package says it's all organic etc lol
- we have the three 3.5L pots with new-born plants in the middle
- two 120mm computer (!) fans, one blowing here, another one there. On max speed they can push up to 120 cubic meters of air per hour EACH
- on the right hand side in the back is a computer (!) power supply unit. It is used to power everything except the lights since everything is actually computer gear. It has it's own temperature-adjustable fan, so it's pretty silent
- the most interesting gadget is the one on the right hand side close to you. It's the "NZXT Sentry LXE" Touch Screen Fan Controller. It can operate up to 5 computer fans. It has 5 saparate temperature meters, one for each fan. The higher the temperature, the higher the fan speed. So in lower temperature it keeps lower fans speed thus making it's operation REALLY SILENT. I plan do add third fan in a couple of days to blow hot air off the bulbs
- the lights are 2 14-watt fluorescent lights. Yes, I know it's not much. But we are only having mothers here so I guess it's pretty much sufficient. The lights run 24/0. I actually wanted to do something like 18/6 but the lights turned out to be incompatible with timers. Anyways, I want the plants to be bushier and shorter, and that's exactly what 24/0 regimen should do.
So that's about it for now. Feel free to post your coments =)
Oh, I almost forgot to mention the soil!
It's "Bio Terra Plus" by Biocanna. They claim it to be "ph auto" because of its' organic nature. That's exactly what I needed as a newbie grower. Too much measuring, too many different fertilizers etc. I just want some weed, not trying to reach 1 gramm per watt =) So this soil is pretty much water only solution. It has everything a plant needs. Anyway, time will tell if this is true or marketing =)
Done for today.
Have a nice smoke :stylez rasta smoke:
