My Plants
|
|
For my first time through I decided to grow three plants. One of them is supposedly Thai Chron Dro and the other two are supposed to be Sour Deisel. Regardless of what they actually are, I've had some of the smoke, and I can definitely say I would love have some of my own.
Germination and Planting: I germinated using the paper towel method. I soaked the towels with tap water and put the seeds between them. I stored the towels in a food container and kept it on top of my computer tower to keep it war. I planted my seeds into 16 oz dixie cups and covered them with duct tape to block any light from the roots. I have heard this is a good practice, so I thought I would play it safe. It took them a few days to sprout. I think I may have planted them a little deeper than I was supposed to. They've been in soil now for 7 days now.
SD: The two sour deisel plants look very premature compared to other plants I've seen at this age, but I've also heard this strain grows a little slower than others. I'm a novice so i may be getting to worried about nothing, but at this point every little thing gets me all worked up. Pictures 1&2
TCD: My Thai plant is looking very good. I love to see the progress (hopefully)she makes on a day to day basis. It keeps me going. Picture 3
Picture 4 is an overhead of all three.
Watering: My watering has been fluctuating. I'm not really sure how to gauge the right time to water. I have a moisture meter, but it does me no good until I get some experience with it. I think I may have been overwatering. If that's the case I'm worried it may be too late because my plants are so young. I'm going to stick it out though and hopefully things turn for the better.
Lighting: For the first seven days I kept the light on 24 hours. Tonight is the first night on an 18/6 light cycle.
Temperatures: My temps have been hovering right around 80 degrees. That's taking into account 24 hours of light. I think now that my lights will be turning off my temps will drop into the high 60's so that should keep them cool enough during dark hours.
Any comments or advice any of you guys have would be awesome. I've been reading and reading on RIU for months now and so many of you have inspired me to do this. I'm so glad I finally get to start me own. Anyhow, please, comment on anything.
