This being my first season here, I will start a journal right on time for my summer grow.
I will be attempting to do an outdoor grow, nothing big, just for LEGAL personal use. At most, I will be having 6 plants.. Currently I have a Bubblegum clone growing but that started as a big clone on March 10th so I won't "officially" count it on this thread; plus, it has its own grow journal thread.. Now back to this grow... I purchased a while back from a dispensary in town some Blueberry seeds, feminized, from Sanctuary seed company(whoever heard of that) for the mere price of 5 for $50 or $10 a seed. I figured it wasn't bad it being my first 'official" attempt.
On around April 9th, i decided to germiate a seed. I used the moist papertowel in ziploc bag method. After 24 hours and seeing it worked.. I decided to transplant that into some mix I decided to use from my backyard. I put the seed in a half gallon pot, on purposefully with bad dirt to compare how it does with my other ones.
I decided to germinate 2 more seeds a day after, and put into pots on 4/11 or 4/12. One seed into a 5 gallon, and another into a gallon pot. I am not sure if I will transplant the 5 gallon but I will for sure transplant the gallon into a 15-20 gallon ceramic pot I have. The 1st seed that was put into bad soil, took longer to sprout and has significant damage on the part that came out of the soil(approximately a 2-3 day lag with the others and the sprout is in definite worse shape than the others. All I have been watering is regular water that i TRY to pH down to anywhere between 5.9 and 7.1. These are the lowest i have given and the highest. Please bear with me, I am a rookie. And for those keeping up, thanks.
Soil Contents: On the 2 seedlings that I have in supposedly "good" soil, this is the mix i prep'ed up and what I have going for them. I won't be precise with measurements as i wasn't when i was mixing up so I will divide ingredients up evenly as I think.
1 large bag of Happy Frog.
Dolomite Lime
M G: Sphagnum Moss
M G: Perlite
Vermiculite
Original Dirt
Here comes division part:
1/3 Happy frog
1/10 Dolomite Lime
1/8 Sphagnum
1/16 Vermiculite
1/16 Perlite
1/3 Original Dirt
Mix it up. Checked Drainage. Seemed okay to me. Decided to plant. :watchplant: As Borat would say: "Success!!!" I planted the 2 good seeds approx. on the 14th, and got 3 sprouts by the 16th counting the slow seedling, "trial" as I will call it.
Here are the pictures:
Pic 1 & Pic 2: Blueberry sprouts in "good" soil
Pic 3: Blueberry seed "trial" in a half gallon pot with original soil from my yard not mixed or anything. Don't think it is going to make it though. But let's stay positive...Don't judge a book by its cover.
