After a devastating case of root rot which has done for several of my plants, I'm scrubbing down and starting from scratch in an effort to have a green Christmas.
My order from Herbies arrived yesterday I received
1 x Sweet Seeds Auto Fast Bud #2
1 x Female Seeds Speed Bud
1 x Short Stuff Onyx
I shall be waiting a few weeks before starting the Onyx and doing it in a considerably larger pot than I will be using for the race contestants.
The grow will be done in a wardrobe with no extraction and a floorspace of 5 about square feet. The 2 competing plants will be started off with a 23w daylight cfl over 1 plant with a 360 degree 23x3w LED bulb placed between them and a 105W Warm White CFL over the other plant. Light will be 24/0 throught the grow. I shall rotate the box frequently so that the seedlings get some time under both the CFLs.
After the plants are established, I will switch to 24 hours led plus 250W to 400W full spectrum Omwga HPS switched on and off manually when I'm in and by timer when I'm out as and when temperatures dictate. I think my temps went too high in the summer when running the HPS continuously which allowed pythium to flourish. I know I need extraction but I can't quite manage that at the moment and for now 2 or 3 judiciously placed fans will have to suffice.
I will be using 8" wide at top 8" deep plastic terracota pots (not sure of capacity). I don't want to use too large a pot size for these as I do not want to delay their finishing.
i will be using approximately a 60/40 mix of J Arther Bower. Seed and Cutting Compost and Perlite. Will probably throw a liittle Poundland Rooting Powder which contains seaweed in with the soil.
For nutes I will be using Hydro Grow and Hydro Bloom from Poundland.
The seeds will be sown directly into their final pots.
i pray to Shiva that This time I won't get root rot and make it all the way to a bountiful harvest! I will be planting up as soon as I've finished this post. Photos later today.
All comments, predictions welcome. Constructive criticism welcome to a degree, but the grow is what it is and I can't afford to spend any more money on it at the moment.
Thank you
Day 0 - Seeds planted within a minute of each other approx 1 each deep and given a drop of tap water.
I will just keep the LED on until the seeds sprout.
