New Grower Microwave's Grow Diary

[Microwave]

I've decided to start a diary on my indoor grow. It's been 7 years since I last grew, so I welcome all feedback!

Setup: 2 Sweet Skunk AF
Containers: A 3 gallon container for each plant
1 90 Watt UFO light
Soil: Promix Ultimate
I'm lighting 20/4.
Grow is in a closet with mylar all around.

I went to a local hydro store and they set me up with these nutes:

1. FloroDuo A
2. FloroDuo B
3. Liquid KoolBloom
4. Floralicious Plus

They also gave me a flyer from FloraDuo on the feeding schedule.

The plants germinated within 48 hours of being in a soaking wet paper towel, which was covered by paper plates both below the towel and above the paper towel.

They both came up great and were doing fine until I put nutes on the plants on day 5. The hydro store said they'd be strong enough, but they didn't tell me to dilute FloraDuo A & FloraDuo B with water! So I put 5 ml of FloraDuo A directly onto the stem of each plant and 2.5 ml of FloraDuo B directly onto the stem of each plant. I suppose it's obvious to most growers, but this newbie didn't know that I was to mix these newts with 1 gallon of water and then pour the water into the potting soil. The result is that 1 plant lived and the other died. I've just germinated a new seed which should pop above the ground anytime now.

The first pic. is of the still living plant on day 5 and the second pic. is of this plant today, day 9. The brownish coloring on the bottom leaves are the result of the newt shock on day 5.

I should add that today (day 9) I fed my plant as follows:

1. 10 ml FloraDuoA
2. 5 ml FluroDuo B
3. 1 ml Floralicious Plus

This is as recommended by the FloraDuo feeding schedule.

This time I mixed the nutes in 1 gallon of water, shook the water container real well and then gently poured the water onto the soil and around the stem of the plant until water came out of the bottom of the pot. The day 9 photo above is about an hour after I did this feeding.

Hi Kaellan ~ Here's the link to my UFO: http://store.prosourceworldwide.com/Illuminator-90W-UFO-LED-Grow-Lights-p/illuminator ufo 90w.htm

And here's my girl at 12 days, she's recovered well from the nute shock on day 5. I also have a 2 day old who seems to be doing great thus far...

I agree, it'll be good fun to compare and learn from each other : )

What do you mean by frosty? Have you harvested your sweet skunk yet? If yes, how much did the plant yield and how's the buzz?

 

[Kaellan420swe]

I will harvest this or next week.
Frosty = resine looks like frost on the plant
