mine are germinating right now. they will be ready to plant tomorrow evening i hope. i bought and mH bulb today to put them under for a few weeks then its gonna b two 400w hps bulbs . ive decided to plant one outside so im going to have 8 inside since herbies shorted me . i believe im going to make another room in the rv for a mother plant and clones . i really want a plant i can play with ,lst,crop, exc.. plus i want to get a hydro plant going since i have all the stuff but that will be later down the road .
i have a NEW ROW JOURNAL on 420 magazine.com website its a great forum with allot of wisdom and knowledge like this one .that's how i found out about this cool site . you can check it out here .
this was good info for me .. ) Germinate seed as you would normally. (If you have never, there are plenty of great guides on this site.) I soak in water for 24 hours and then place between damp paper towels until tap roots emerge.
2) Plant seeds with tap roots DIRECTLY into 3.3 gallon pots. Cover pots with plastic wrap until they have sprouted. (It is very important to plant your af varieties directly into their final containers. This will minimize stress at the beginning of the grow.)
3) Water your plants regularly, every 4-6 days at the beginning. Later on it will decrease to every 3-4 days. Remember to check your soil. If the top inch or so is crusty dry, it's time to water. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you do not allow your AF plants to get too dry and start drooping. This can dramatically effect the final size of the plant.
4) NO NUTRIENTS/SUPPLEMENTS until atleast week 7. Fox Farms Ocean Forest potting soil is perfect for AF plants because the soil will stay hot for about 6 weeks! I cannot over stress this point. Through trial and error I have found that if you feed your plants before week 6 (in OF soil) they will burn VERY easily.
5) At the beginning of week 6 I give them a half dose of grow big.
6) At the beginning of week 7 I give them a quarter dose of Tiger Bloom, full dose of Big Bloom and 1 tblsp of blackstrap molasses
7) At week 8 - Half dose tiger bloom, full dose Big Bloom, 1 tblsp BSM
8) At week 9 - 2 TBLS BSM
9) At week 10 - FLUSH FLUSH FLUSH!
10) Two days before harvest, I shut the lights off and lock the cabinets for 2 days.
11) REAP YOUR REWARDS! AF strains can be VERY VERY potent if grown correctly. They can also end up being pure shit if neglected.
Again, this is just an intro guide for beginners. I know that when I first started growing AF strains, there was no definitive guide for an AF nutrient schedule. This was one of the hardest things for me to figure out.
