Hi there. Long time reader, first time poster. I thought I would start a log for my second grow. The first grow I had, with the same resources, was C99 about a year and half ago. But, in a different place and different climate. Very successful grow, one of the easiest things I had done, they almost grew themselves. The absolute best smoke I had ever had, Cindy is one of a kind. So I decided to get a variation of her, add some of the fabled Blueberry to the mix.
So here goes....
400 watt MH/HPS conversion
MG Seedling/MG Organic Choice
Fox Farm Nuts (Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom)
Superthrive
4x4x6.5 Bud Box
I mixed the MG Seedling and Organic Choice together for a 50/50 ratio after germination using the plate and paper towel method. Most of these seeds showed taproot after 24 hours being in the southern humidity. After planting, all of them sprouted after a day or so. (On a side note, Hemp Depot--Highly Recomended-- I had 100 percent germination/sprout rate and shipped in under two weeks). They spent two days outside on the balcony before being brought inside, I wanted a bit longer, but two eager ones decided to just stretch a bit, so I put them all under the envelope of the MH. I know this isnt recomended for such young souls, but I figured I would rather have slow growth for the seedlings for the first week as they adjusted to the light than Stretch Armstrong. Plus the light is about 5 feet away, they should be fine.
The question I have is Humidity. I have a room air conditioner about 3 feet away from the Bud Box. The problem is that this in a very efficient air conditioner and is taking all of the water out of the air. Do ya'll think I'm creating enough Humidity in the Bud Box by filling up a saucepan daily? I would love to hear some experiences.
Also, last night, I gave them a small dose of Superthrive to get their little roots going. All of them have perked up a bit this morning. I thought I would throw that out there for all those ST haters.
Here they are at 3 days old.
