Placed seedlings in rapid rooters to increase rooting time-worked well saw lil roots and seeds actually popped within 24 hours.
Growing Mother plants in soil then will be taking cuttings every 2 weeks to Veg. After two weeks of Vegging will go into Station 1 of 4 Flowering Stations. Every two weeks will rotate one additional stations for a perpetual harvest. I'm also building a 4 day bud Dryer for fast buds.
Veg Method Thus far:
Currently 1 week and 4 days into Vegging at time of writing
Fill 5 gallon Bucket with water and leave under fluoros to remove chlorine... let sit atleast 24 hours before use. Measured PH 7... Measured TDS 130ppm
I use a 1 gallon water jug to fill up from the 5 gallon settled water and then add a cap full of Super Plant Tonic and a 1/3 cap full of Silica Blast. I use these two additives because Super Plant Tonic includes Mycorrhizal Bacteria which is beneficial to plants. It helps them absorb nutrients and contributes to the overall health of the plant. I use silica blast in an effort to promote healthier and Thicker stems; this means they will be able to support heavy buds when it comes time.
As far as the soil and nutrients go for the 5 'HOPEFUL' mothers I need nothing extra for now. When I added the Scott's Premium soil to the containers(walmart cookie jars with holes drilled in bottom for leakage) I also mixed in a handful of Kelp Extract, handful of Bat Guano and a handful of Worm Castings. This has proven to be more than enough food for the young 'HOPEFUL' mothers. I started at 24/0 for one week then switched to 18/6 because my internodes were 'TOO CLOSE'(WTF??? lol) but yeah it happened. I had to let my plants STRETCH-weird huh?
At Week 1 and 1 day my plants begin to reak and stink up the entire upstairs of a 2 floor house. I added Carbon filters to no avail as well as 3x MedTech UVC Air Purifiers. Just yesterday I added 1 small ozone generator and problem was solved. You know what at 1 week and 3 days my plants smelled as though they were in week 1 of Flowering from what I had experienced in past grows....fucked up huh?
I water as need to by touch... if the soil is dry I water.. my analog Ph meter also has a moisture meter which comes in useful but tbh I don't really need it it's easy to tell. Each time they get watered they receive a dose of super plant tonic + silica blast as it is premixed in each gallon of water.
