At last I have started my journal.
This is my first grow and I am trying to improve and add to it as I go along. I didn't take any pics during germination and am now 21 days into my grow.
Because it's my first grow I'm using cheap seeds, they're a cross, grown locally (G13 pollinated by Abyss) .
There is one exception, 'Alice' (A.) which is a seed that I found in some bud I bought about a year ago. It's unusual to get bud with seed and even more unusual for it to be nice bud so I Kept it and germinated it about 5 days earlier than the rest. I had another odd seed that I started with it but that was my latest casualty. Here is a picture of my set-up.
I am using a 400w MH and have a 400w sodium for flowering, they run off the same ballast.
The soil I am using is 'BIOBIZZ ALL-MIX' It cost me £12 sterling (about $20/24 US)
Major constituents:
Peat Moss
Spaghnum peat
Worm casting
Perlite
Pre-mix
EC:2.4
pH 6.2-6.6
50ltr bag including 2.5ltr fertilizer
I have stopped using nutes in the water after getting some nute burn on the leaves.
I am using tap water. My tap water has a pH of 7.5 which is way too high so I let it stand for a day or so then reduce the pH to 6 by adding a few drops of lemon juice. I was going to flush all the plants but just did the three worst affected. For the others I will just continue giving them water with nothing added. There is plenty in the soil to feed these for the next couple of weeks. After that I will add the nutes again but on a smaller scale. I was adding 7ml per litre 'Ionic=Grow' but will start at about 3 or 4 ml next time and, just on one or two plants to begin with.
Now that I have discovered how to add thumbnails I have posted 2 close-ups of 'A' showing what I over-enthusiastically thought was signs of it being a girl. It has little white pistules that look a bit like hairs. It is in fact the new leaves coming through. They look totally different to all the others. I wish I knew what strain it is. It has nodes coming out all over the place.
