Lighting LowRyder #2 under my new LED Mars ll

[Mindzeye]

Hello, Im starting a new Journal because of germination failure on my last journal found here https://www.autoflower.org/f138/new-led-lemon-purple-kush-autos-28889.html

Im using Jiffy pucks this time for germination and I have 4 out of 5 sprouted in 3 days and they look healthy. I have them under some cfl's at the moment and Im weaning them to fresh air since I used a humidity dome. Right now I just have the dome cracked slightly to allow some air flow.

They look nice, sturdy and happy green!

I came home this morning after work and looked at my sprouts, they were starting to bend and stretch towards the CFL light and they all had at least one 4 - 5 inch tap root coming out of the bottom of the Jiffy pucks. I decided to go ahead and transplant them and get them under a better light. I planted them in 3 gallon pots with a mix of 2 parts Coco coir and 1 part perlite. I treated the coco last night by running 2 gallons of PH'ed 1/4 strength nutrients until the runoff was 5.7 - 5.8. Once I planted them I watered with 1/8 strength nutrients and a dose of Voodoo juice. The sprouts have stood straight up and opened up to the LED light and within hours the sprouts were much darker green color.

"Munch..munch..munch Defintely pulling up a seat and watching this grow Mindzeye. I am about to start my 2nd grow. I am about to order an Apollo 6 Cidly LED. My first grow was a DWC grow. I have made the decision to do a soiless mixture grow for my 2nd grow. Im still deciding between Lowryder#2 or Delicious Northern Lights Blue. Cant wait to see how yours turns out brotha!! Good Luck man!!

DAY 8 SINCE PLANTING


Well things are moving along decently, not as fast I was expecting. I started the LED light at about 3 ft, I noticed the plants growth rate had slowed down and saw the stalks were bent slightly towards the light. I took this as a sign that they were looking for more light. I moved the light 1 foot closer and things took off again.

Im still feeding 1/8 strength nutrients and voodoo juice. Nutrients are my own dry salt formulation. Im watering every other day until I get 10% runoff to waste.

1 of the plants is a mutant but has nothing to do with genetics. Just after my last post I accidentally hit the sprout with 1/8 strength nutrients and voodoo juice. I rinsed it with pure water and let it dry before putting it back under the light. Ive hit plants leaves with nutrients before and it didn't do this so Im blaming voodoo juice and warning people to make sure you don't spill this on young plants!

And this is the mutant that had voodoo juice spilled on it. Everything was normal until then.

Day 19

Day 19 update

Hello! things seem to be going well. The plants are happy and growing fast. Im watering 1/2 strength nutrients and I have stopped using voodoo juice. Only one plant has shown sex and its a female! The seedling that was mutated by voodoo juice is pulling through even though it was stunted a bit. Remember not to spill voodoo juice on seedlings!

This is the seedling that was mutated by voodoo juice, its pulling through!

This is the only plant to show sex yet and its FEMALE!!!
