Okay...
so for $80 I got a clone and 25 Seeds of Northern Lights#5 x Hash Plant...
--------------Overview of first week:-----------------------------
For now I put my clone into my greenhouse and began Germination of 8 seeds.
Clone is growing like crazy showing new growth or steady growth daily.
I began germinating my 8 seeds in Wet papertowels with some water at the bottom of the jar and put it in the dark cupboard 6 days ago... the seeds barely look cracked and have just little white pin-heads on them which has me worried if they will even sprout at all....
Yesterday I said what the hell and put 2 of them in Jiffy 1" peat pots and stuck em in my greenhouse. These 2 seeds showed the biggest white pinheads out of the group... At this point i have no idea what they will do or how long, or even if they will sprout up from the soil... so we'll see what happens. The other 6 seeds in the cupboard really havent done much.. so ill just keep waiting i guess.
My main mother clone is about a foot tall and is very healthy... I clipped off a lower branch and tried to root 3 clones after dipping in green light rooting mix and potting in 1" jiffy peat cups filled with peat moss...
its now been 24 hours since I planted my small clones (looks like a leaf poking outta the soil) and surprisingly they dont look bad or any different than when i took the clippings! Most would agree that i cloned too young off that momma clone but what the hell cllipping that lower branch encourages growth to the top anyways so nothings really lost if they dont make it, I can always pull clones later in a couple weeks....
Below is my Juliana Greenhouse which is 30"L x 20"D x 72"H which i paid $35 at Lowes.
I have wired up 2x Lithonia 24" 2 slot T12 fixtures giving me 4 slots.
2 of the bulbs are grow lights from OTT-Lite and the other two are GE Gro-Lux ...all bulbs are 20w ..giving me 80w
I also installed 2x 90w CFL's in 10" clip on reflectors for a total of 260 watts.
I think this is sufficient for a couple plants... Im debating whether to add a 900 LED light bar from eBay that i saw for like 100 bucks.. but i honestly dont think ill need it yet.... i think maybe 2 more 90w CFL's should be just fine...
I chose not to go with HPS due to the plastic greenhouse material and I just dont like the idea of leaving on huge hot lamps when im not home...
If anyone has any tips for getting these other 6 seeds to germinate please lemme know! thanks!
