Hi all,
this is my 2nd grow. i will be doing 12/12 from seed because i still have 2 plants flowering in the same room under the same light. also i would like to be done by xmas which means there wouldnt be time for veg.
Seeds:
3 x Serious Seeds AK47 (regular) - flowering time : 7-9 weeks
1 x Big Buddha Blue Cheese (Fem) - flowering time: 8-10 weeks
1 x Dutch Passion Blueberry (Fem) - flowering time: 8-10 weeks
1 x Green House Seeds SSH (Fem) - flowering time: 10-11 weeks
i got my seeds from
Cannabis Seeds - Pick 'n' Mix Cannabis Seeds i ordered on a Thursday 3pm and got my seeds on the Tuesday. i have decided to use the paper towel method for germinating.
started germinating on Thursday night. my AK's had popped on the friday. Blue cheese on the saturday and i had a slight crack in the blueberry on sunday so i decided to give it abit longer in the paper towel and then planted it on the sunday night. the SSH had a crack on the side of the seed which i thought was abit weird, anyway it wasnt germinating (like my last SSH fem seed) in the paper towel so i decided to chuck it in a shot glass. the seed sank which apparently means that the seed has had enough water. i potted the ssh tonight and have put clear plastic over the pot and tied around with string to try and create a humidity dome. im hoping it will get to about 95% humidity in there so the seed can sprout.
Lighting & Setup:
Light: 600watt hps with Growlux blub with 30% more of the blue spectrum.
Soil: i used a 1/3 mix of perlite with a 2/3 mix of Wests+ compost, the same soil i used for my last grow.
i have also put reflective sheeting up. just the cheap stuff, but hey, 80% reflectivity is better than none.
lights are on 7PM - 7AM. hopefully my temps will be ok whilst running the lights at night in the cold.
anyway, as u can see they are abit stretched but hopefully i have resolved that by moving them closer to the light. also a few plants had the seed shell still attached. i left them on as they will fall off on there own.
