New Grower First Grow/Journal. DP AutoMazar Now under GN-Ms0006 LED

[paronic]

Hey You Guuuyyss!!
Welcome to my first grow/journal. I will be attempting to grow one Dutch Passion AutoMazar under a 200w dual spectrum CFL.
Before we proceed any further, I'd just like to say thanks to WhatsGoodie2, Stoking and any one else that has helped me in my previous thread.
Thank You!

So lets begin. Here's a little snap of my Grow space.

More details on my Grow space and how all this came about can be found in the following thread = https://www.autoflower.org/f44/new-growing-need-suggestion-possible-setup-16037.html

The germination process couldn't off gone any smoother than it did. I followed the process of dropping my seed into a shot glass of tap water and leaving it in the cupboard for 24hours before transferring it onto a wet paper towel and applying another wet towel to the top and covering with a plate and leaving it for another 24 hours before transferring to the medium.

On 14/02/13@16:19 I introduced the germd seed to soil.
On the 15th at around 12:30 I noticed she had broke the soil.

The2nd shot was taken about 10hrs after the 1st.

2days into the grow. No hiccups as of yet.

I will try and update this thread on a regular basis.

Excellent. I got front row. Great start. I'll be around if you need me. :smokebuds:

What mix and nutes are you using?

Hey The Squid and welcome to my Journal(Glad to have you here). For the medium I have BioBizz's Light Mix and All Mix and for nutes I will also be using BioBizz's BioGrow, BioBloom and TopMax but i have no clue when i can start using them. The soil was bone dry today so i gave her a drink of tap water that i had PH'd down to 6.5 using white vinegar. i then left the water sit for an hour before testing the ph again, when i did test the water the PH came back as 6.7. Hopefully I've not done anything stupid that can harm my plant by doing this.

Just feed plain Ph water for the first 2 weeks. Then you can start your veg nutes at 1/4 strength. Vinegar isn't as stable as the Ph up and down products so it may sway its' Ph, but you should probably be ok. I suggest getting some Ph up and down though. I like the Organic friendly stuff, like Earth Juice crystals. Check them out. Cheap stuff.

When i can afford too next i shall invest but for the mean time i will have to keep using the old white vinegar. My tap waters PH was coming in at 7.1 so hopefully after adding nutes, I wont have to play around with the PH. Just a quick question - How long do i keep growing in the cup before i transfer it?

 

[The Squid]

No worries. Your nutes will bring it down fine and the vinegar should work for now.
Let your tap sit out(preferably bubbled with an air pump) to get the chlorine out and get it oxygenated.

Is your TD a feminized bean? Either way around sexing(2-3 weeks) you can tier into a bigger pot.
It would be easier if you go ahead and cut the bottom off of that cup since the roots haven't grown down there yet. And then place it into another cup the same size with just drainage holes in the bottom. So you have a two cup stack deal.

Then when it's time to transplant you just pull the bottom cup off and plant the cup with no bottom w/ the plant into your bigger container, cup and all, bury down about half way.
That is the tier method and much easier and less stressful on the plant.

TD(Think Different) if that's what you mean? I have Automazar not TD but yes she was a feminized bean. I have already cut the bottom off the cup, so it can be gently pulled apart. I will prob go straight to my final pot for the cup(if viable). Will post pics of my final pot later. It will be a 10-12 liter bucket that i will be converting into a air pot. Just trying to see if any friends have a spare air pump i can borrow.

Update on bucket. I have cleaned the bucket up since taking the pics. I'm al so going to line the bucket of with this stuff to keep the medium in, it's a breathable material so the make shift air pot should still do its job.

Just a quick picture update
Day4 from breaking the soil.


Edit- would I get away with adding a bit more soil to the cup?
