First Grow! Akorn AKA Snowbud, Dinachem, Blue OG, Diamond Line Space, 5 Green-O-Matic

August 1, 2013

Akorn AKA Snowbud, Blue OG, Dinachem, Diamond Line Space.

I put each seed into a glass specimen tube with some bottled water and placed them under my mattress.

August 5, 2013

Seeds have split and tap root has emerged on each seed. Filled 4 blue Solo cups with Miracle Grow Moisture Control potting soil and punched 4 nail holes into the bottom of each cup. Used the same nail to make a small hole in the soil in the center of each cup. Placed each seed carefully into it's hole and pressed the soil in around it. Placed these four cups on a shelf in my basement with a clamp light with a reflector and CFL bulb clamped to the shelf above them. The light was left on 24h per day, until my timers came in from amazon.

Three of the seedlings have shot up and are reaching for the light. The Blue OG seedling is not out of the soil yet. My timer has arrived and light is set on 18/6 schedule with dawn at 0500.

The Blue OG seedling is growing now, but it looks slightly deformed and lacks vigor.

August 15, 2013

My seedlings are now placed under my new Hydrofarm T5 4' - 6 bulb light. The light is kept 3 to 4 inches above the tops of my plants. Put 10 Green-O-Matic seeds into a small cup with bottled water to soak. Put in a dresser drawer.

Get rid of the MG soil... Their fertilizers are good though.

It's got to be better than my yard dirt. And it's all Walmart had.

Well if you are going to use it through out the grow keep in mind the fert's it comes with last 4-6 months... So go EASY on the additional fertilizing as you will fuck up shit so fast it'll make you want to cry

And no, nothing is better than earth dirt. Check out my sig... I did a experiment this year. Planted half my crop in the ground and the other half in soil I bought from lowe's. Guess what did better? THE EARTH SOIL!

go to menerds... they have organic pro mix... good shit, just add more perlite. a friend of mine had trouble not burning his plants using mg soils...they are pretty hot, especially over time. Every time he watered them they burned more, never fed them still burned. its made for plants that feed heavier than the delicious herb. keep in mind they call it weed for a reason, it will grow damn near anywhere, maybe cut it with some dirt from the back yard if its all ya got.

almost forgot, i grew space once... tasty shit, smelled like lemon pine sol... i had a little trouble with it though, but it was my first grow. im seriously contemplating buying some more seeds, got half an order set up at the tude right now. the thing had like 5 fan leaves left at the end but still gave up about an oz of some unreal stuff ( i live in a weed deprived zone)
