Decided to do a grow journal, if for no other reason than to pick up some advice and to make my usual tracking a little more interactive. The goal of this grow is to produce some mother plants to use for clones. I am looking to add some new strains to my arsenal, and after a few years of growing crops from clones, I got some seeds and successfully started them. That encouraged me enough to dedicate a little more than just an experimental corner to starting from seed.
This grow starts with 15 seeds:
5 White Widow
5 Pineapple Express
5 Bubba Kush
The goal is to cull down to the best female or two of each strain to be used as mother plants.
Seeds were started on plates, inbetween wet paper towel, and covered with plastic wrap. They were placed in an incubator at 89F. All 15 seeds germinated in less than 36 hours. They were placed in peat pots containing ProMix (a mix that is mostly peat moss and perlite, intended for seed starting, but I use it as my grow medium throughout the grow) The pots were watered with plain water (Ph 6.0) with 1% bleach added (to help prevent root and stem rot). They are under flourescent (cool white) lights, under humidity domes.
Less than 24 hours after putting the germinated seeds into the pots the first seedlings sprouted (planted yesterday afternoon, woke up this morning to 5 sprouts).
That brings things up to date for now. I will be getting my camera fixed (hopefully it's a small issue and will be resolved today) and plan to post pictures once the seedlings take.
