I have decided to do another journal. My roommate and I are both involved in maintaining this garden. The seeds are Hindu Kush and are from nirvana seed shop, a couple of the seeds looked different so we will see what happens. This is a soil grow and our medium consists of Premier Pro-Mix Tree & Shrub Planting Mix, Triple Mix, and Perlite. For now we are using 6 27w 6500k cfls for vegging these plants, i think they are 1660 lumens each. On June 1 we put 7 Hindu Kush seeds for germination (wet paper towel method).
Two days later all 7 seeds were ready for soil and planted into saturated jiffy pellets. June 6, all 7 are now tiny sprouts and the roots had started to come out the bottom of the peat pellets. We planted them into 6 inch pots and moved them under the lights. The plants were lightly watered daily for the first few days, and then were soaked on the 13th (with 5.8 pH water by accident)Oops. Today they were looking a bit droopy and the soil is getting quite dry so we watered with 6.5 pH rain water.

Good to see you back and journaling again toke.

What lighting setup are you going to use throughout this time.

Do you plan to flower with the cfls again?

Thanks nongreenthumb. I will be usings cfls for vegg and hps for flowering.

nice.

i was wandering where you got the light fixtures from and how mush they cost.


so 6 23w cfls will do vegging nicely? no stretching or what?

1st pic was taken a few mins ago with only the two middle cfls on. I don't think it turned out too good.

I got the light fixtures from home depot, 3 sockets with 3 Y's, only costs a few bucks.

They seem to be doing fine so far.

Good to see you again Major. Please keep the journal going. Looks interesting. Love ya.

Today is 15th day since they sprouted. Once again they are Hindu Kush and in 6 inch pots. They were watered this morning with rain water pH'd to 6.5 . I am having problems uploading pics
