Howzit guys
It’s been bloody ages since my last grow so I couldn't be happier to finally be going again!
I’m gonna be doing a mixed medium run this time i.e both organic and hydro. Doing a side by side comparison so that should be rather interesting. I'm still a noob when it comes to organic growing, this being my 2nd proper attempt at it, but I learn't a lot the last time round so hopefully I can work off that.
Here are the specifics of the grow:
Organic
For older plants I'll be using my own living soil mix. This is my 2nd grow with this recipe. A lot of my amendments were sourced from Organics Matter. Highly recommend them.
For seedlings, clones and young plants I'll be using my basic seedling mix.
Feeding regime
Once again I plan to opt for as little bottled nute as possible.
Coconut water - worked wonders for me last time.
Kelp tea
Compost Tea
Fulvic & Humic
If I run into issues I'll be getting some Biobizz
Hydro
Medium: Coco/Perlite 60/40
Nutrients: Nutriplex Trio
Supplements: Gthydro Calmag, Hortishop Silica.
The Genetics
Thanks to the incredible efficiency of our local post office I have been waiting for a seed order from the UK since the end of May. According to tracking, it's been sitting at our customs since the 30th of June. I can't get an update from them either as I've sat waiting 40 minutes on the phone for an operator, twice, with no luck. My impatience couldn't hold any longer so I went ahead and made some local orders.
Currently I'll be running:
3 x Purple Orange CBD seeds by Dinafem - to make high CBD oil (will be referred to as P.O in this thread)
1 x Blue Kush by Dinafem ( will be referred to as B.K in this thread)
1 x Amherst Sour Diesel by Humboldt Seed Organisation (will be referred to as A.S.D in this thread)
Once the other seeds arrive(hopefully), I'll be getting those going.
The Environment
Veg
150x150cm tent for 1st round of veg. 80x80cm tent thereafter
Flower
150x150cm tent
Current Situation
All seeds successfully germinated in under 48 hours. The Purple Orange seeds all germinated in just a shade over 24 hours.
2 Purple Orange seeds went into the organic seedling mix. The other purple orange, the Blue Kush and the Sour Diesel went into a coco/perlite mix. I will be cloning later on, placing into the different mediums, so that the accurate comparisons can be made. The pots are currently in a cabinet under a LED for the germination stage, these will go in the tent soon so I can expose them to some air movement as soon as possible. They'll be starting under a 250w MH.
Below is a shot of the pots this morning. As you can see the two P.O organic seedlings are starting to emerge. Those seeds were placed in their medium quite a while before the others as the seeds germinated sooner.
I'll try keep this thread updated by the week, or as often as possible.
Have a good weekend!
