The seedlings are gonna be in a soil with equal parts of coco, EWC and perlite. I prefer using peat moss over coco but am only able to get hold of some next week and the seeds will need to be in soil before then. For veg I'll use the same mix as the seedlings with a few amendments added. Just before the switch I'll be transplanting into my own soil mix which I'll be mixing next week. Cutting it a bit short in terms of allowing the soil enough time to cook but I should be okay. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty.Psychonaut Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 This is very cool, I would love to be growing alongside the group as I also have some Tortoni seeds, just don't have the space right now! though, I feel even more excited because I will feel like I've already grown the plant with all the reports coming in thanks to the grow off! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 Beans transferred into cotton pads after a 24h soak Placed the container with the beans in a humidity dome which is sitting on a heat pad. Will keep watching for taproots. Once the taproots appear the beans will go into pots 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pants Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 He’s off. Going direct into soil will add a couple of days to the stress it seemsSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 All 3 successfully germed and now in pots. They're in a 1.5m x 1.5 veg tent - under a 400w MH. I'm old school but envy those lovely LED's you all have going As mentioned the soil for the seedlings is a very simple straight forward mix of equal parts EWC, Coco and perlite (being mixed in the pic below). I added about half a teaspoon of myco to that. I'm sourcing my EWC (earth worm castings) from a local supplier called Davley Organics. Organics Matter used to be my go to supplier for EWC but he moved to PTA sometime in 2019. Wasn't happy about that. I managed to find a supplier in my area today selling 125L bags of perlite for 250 bucks. KAK CHEAP! The beans are joining 2 other @Totemic strains in my veg tent at the moment. A Cherry Gelato CBD Fem and Choc Gelato Fem which will go into flower soon and free up some more space. I intend to start a separate thread on these 2 strains to update on their progress. They're in good shape. Will update again once the seedlings break ground 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Looking good. Really good price on the perlite too. If only you could enter the comp, you'd have the chance of wining an awesome LED light! At least your light will keep the ladies warm this winter 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets cold at night here. I'm also more than happy to be donating my hard earned money to our good friend Eishkom.

420SA Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 Been a week now since the seeds went into soil. Very evenly matched between the 3 at the moment They got their first dose of ExploGrow last night 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted May 22, 2021 Author Share Posted May 22, 2021 A day short of the 2 week mark since the seeds were dropped into water Now that the choc gelato has been moved to the flower tent the seedlings have full rights to the light. I've taken out the 400w MH and swapped it for a 250w MH Did a water with some humic mix added last night. I use the liquid humic mix from Grow Guru 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-A715F using Tapatalk the concentration is hectic strong according to the internet... 2% of the volume, so like 200ml in 10l mix.... but dont go that strong... you dont need to worry about it burning your plants, but have had good results with teaspoon or 2 per 10l. do you have a powder or the black balls? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
