alright...germinated four bag seeds that i picked up last week and planted all of 'em with one already sprouted out of the soil..cracked open the "free" pack and tossed 2 durban X skunk (or something like that) into the paper towel too, but they still haven't cracked open yet..and i got rid of the shitty bag seed that i picked up like 2 weeks ago..they didn't crack as well..jus waiting on the durban..
got 'em in 4 16 oz. cups, two with 1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 perlite and the rest soil..the other two which i planted today has half perlite and half soil..(soil is from Expert Gardener..Perfect Mix..10-8-6)..seeing as i over watered my first 2 attempts, i figured i'd better start adding some perlite..we'll see how it goes..gonna go on a strict watering schedule..before planting, i took the cups of soil mix and watered 'em down til water ran out the bottom and let the soil settle and excess water drain..then i planted..figured that'll last 'em for the first week when they break soil..then it's every third day..dunno if the last one will make it..i thought i planted it too deep and went diggin in the cup..didn't find the seed so i just covered it up..i may have moved it further down or up..dunno..wait and see i guess..i was gonna go 'dro, but man you gotta shell out some bucks if you don't know how to make your own set up..plus i like the idea of the plants growing faster in that type of medium..and i alreday invested too much time and effort into organic to stop now..was gonna purchase an HPS, but damn, i can't even grow using fluorescents! lol..but we'll see..(and yes i know the advantages of using HPS..but i'm still learning how to keep these f*ckers from dying!!)
my damn veg box that i made holds too much heat..so there in the closet under the 4 ft. fluoro's..one CW and one WW (had to take the shroom bucket out..which still hasn't shown any signs of mycelium)..plus when they get bigger i'll hit 'em with the four 15 watt fluoro's mounted on the four walls inside the closet under the shop light..also got 4 26 watt cfl's standing by..13,540 lumens total...oh yeah..i'm ready
and there it is..i figure on two of them, im just gonna use Super Thrive (oh how i love thee) and the others i haven't figured out yet..it's still too early..hopefully these will make it past the second week..
