What's crackalacking fam! I have a few updates for you all. With just a handful of days to go before the flip, I have cleaned up the plants and taken Off most fan leaves. The remaining leaves will rea

Okay! Definitely one plant is more exuberant than the other, no matter...  I have trimmed off some more lower fan leaves and ones that go inward to the plant to expose lower growth.  Some st

Alright boys and girls!! 

I have had a busy birthday weekend for my Daughter, and missed the kickoff by a bit! 

But, seeds are soaking now in a paper towel and drip of water and will be planted directly into the medium and final pot

Hoping that by having no transplant down time I may be able to claw back the almost 48 hour handicap!! 

High hopes... Or maybe it's just me that's high

Something I'm regretting now, you will definitely claw back much more! and more potential growth... I would have but I don't have the space. Nice man! Goodluck!

Why paper towel? I thought you did not like using paper towel?

I fucken hate it.... It's the worst ever... 

I ran out of pucks from a recent cutting spree😜😂 I thought I had a few left but I couldn't find them... So I paper toweled it and it's been so troublesome... So far 2 of the 3 have popped, and are in the main tote, while the 3rd one will soak again until tomorrow morning where I will plant it... Hopefully it's cracked By then

using Haifa Spliff S1 in veg with added Ca EDTA ... sprinkle of black magic, and a PH range of 5.7-6.0

Shit many, no jiffies. Whoever is getting those cuttings better appreciate it! 😛 

Glad all 3 popped. 😄 

damn straight!  but we need to move you over to the rapid rooter plugs like the ones im using... much easier to use, no need to hydrate the things, you can fit many more cuttings under your dome, and the cherry on top? - much lower losses

I have used them before and will use them again, I use what I have.

Jiffy pellets or plugs both work well I find. 🙂 

 

I actually imported some rapid rooters from Amazon when I first started growing, back then was difficult to find these plugs locally.

Jiffies were cheaper obviously. Now the plugs are relatively common luckily.

Ya not knocking you if you do. I also do and will be for quite a while as I bought quite a few pellets, but will get plugs next time is what i'm saying.

The pellets I find, you gotta be sure to put just the right amount of water for them to suck up, or it can get wet, and that's what causes failures sometimes I think.

I have not experienced that, I soak mine and let them get super wet. I like water to remain in the bowl after the pellet has expanded.

Although the environment needs to be able to get rid of the water and the pellet needs to be able to dry up slowly, which typically happens in my case and then I spray them to add a bit of water now and then.

 

Gotta have a fine balance between humidity and airflow. Warm, humid environment is perfect for mold and bacteria etc.
Add a bit of airflow and it makes a big difference. You could also try adding a bit of trichoderma to help with damping off and some other issues if that is what you are experiencing although I typically only add once I pot my cuttings.

      So here we go.. not sure if I'm early to the party but what the hel..

      Will have some space in the tent soon and by the time these girls get flipped they should have the tent to themselves...
      Grow nitty gritties:
      1x1 Mammoth Pro 100 Tent
      600w HID
      Extractor fan and two fans for air flow..
      The plan:
      Will be starting the seeds in a tin with paper towel on top of the decoder. From there straight into Freedom Farms Seed Starter. I Have not used it before and is quite excited to try it out..


      After the girls have been Veged to reach the required size, they'll be potted up into 5L pots.  Here is where I wil be testing a different soil mix for each.. 
      #1 Will be grown in Freedom Farm Premium Classic & Diotomatious Earth..
      #2 Will be grown in FF PC, DE and Super Frass 
      3# Will be grown in FF PC & DE Mixed with worm castings, Organic Mulch potting soil and extra Perlite..
      None of the plants will get anything else. Normal declorinated tap water only. This grow off will determine my soil mix for further grows. It also serves as a bit of a test on the Super Frass and FF Seed Starter..



      With these mixes I am sure to have 3 way different results.. 
      To all the contestants, good luck stay safe and above all enjoy.. This is going to be epic..
