New Grower first grow journal!!!!!

[annie]

Hello Everyone!

This is my first grow. I am excited to get started and share what I have done so far.

Ok so on May 31st I planted six different single seeds. I planted them in a mixture of perlite, seed starting mix, HappyFrog, and OceanForest. I put them on a heating pad with a little cup on it to save moisture at the surface. I do have them in containers larger than solo cups right now but I used these for my tomatoes earlier this spring.

As soon as my first package came I had little restraint and decided to plant one of each. Which is already the six I planned for, but I figured some wouldn't sprout regardless. Later I hope to grow some of my more exciting strains and probably will grow more than the original six I planned for. I got the 00 seeds in one pack and thought that would be interesting to try a couple of well known varieties.

• Zkittles - Seedsman
• Blueberry - 00 Seeds
• White Widow - 00 Seeds
• Glue Gelato - Barney's
• Bubblecious - Nirvana
• Sweet Critical - 00 Seeds

On June 3rd I saw my seedling pop out of the soil. It was much faster than anticipated and am happy that I chose to do it the way nature intended. By the next day I was seeing four of the six seedlings shed their hats and start producing chlorophyll.

So far Bubblecious, Zkittles, Glue Gelato, and Sweet Critical have sprouted. Blueberry and White Widow have not. Zkittles has a weird white spot on one of its cotyledons, not sure if its due to the seed hat but it is going strong and has the biggest true first leaves.

@Mañ'O'Green
Ok thanks for the advice! Did I upload the pictures the right way? Just making sure everyone can see them

 

[Mañ'O'Green]

@annie I can see your pictures so must be good. You can actually load them right into the post and bypass the media gallery if you want. Choose the Upload a File button and follow the prompts.

Hey guys just wanted to update again. I planted three more strains today; Fantasmo Express, Smoothie, and Big Devil XL. Still the Blueberry and White Widow have failed to break ground. Heres a picture of one of my seedlings! Growth happens so fast when you can see pictures next to each other!

It has been a week since I last updated. This past couple days I have seen decent growth. Sadly, the Blueberry and White Widow have failed to germinate. Both are from this variety pack thing I got for cheap. Good news that the other three I planted also have germinated already grown their first leaves. I let my surviving four original plants have their first taste of authentic sunlight today. Hopefully soon I can transplant outdoors. So far I am really happy how things have gone so far and cannot wait to update more.

It's transplant day!!!



I transplanted my ladies today, they are going to be living in the greenhouse from now on. That means I can fit more seedlings under my light! I used a method that was recommended to me by @Waira. I am definitely going to be using this method for all my plants from now on, except my orchids. It feels good to get my setup the way I wanted it to be with my RO system. Anyways, pictures speak louder than words so check them out!
