F2 blue tara - first try


First attempt at the blue tara from the co-op…

3/4 germ rate, the bigger one is actually one of my f2 kcup popped 7 days behind.

Another try at the hempy bucket passive 2L pop bottles with a wick.

They got their first feeding 36 hours ago, 2 of the BT didn’t like that much - 2 more seeds in rockwool this morning just in case.

Was 20ish ml of MC @ flower strength in 500ml just to bring pH back to 5.8.

Perhaps you should give them just pHed water, they maybe look with a little overfeeding :sweat:, they are still young. Also have those, pulling a seat popcorn , good luck and best wishes … beer3|nullxnull

As @George1961stated…back off the Nutes until established, WATER ONLY for maybe TWO weeks!!! Too much Nutes and they will literally go into “shock” and keel over, never to be heard from again. Think…you wouldn’t give a newborn a shot of Coffee, would you? Same principle. Easy does it. Stay safe/be well.

Yeah, they’re 2 weeks in now. So I figured the minimal amount to swing the ph back into range wasn’t going to matter. Much easier than going out to get fresh distilled to mix some water to top off/adjust.

See what happens, worst case I’ll pop two more, but for now the new growth is still green… Just wait and see what happens.

First of the root porn shots.


Two more BT up. Pretty sure the smallest is toast now. Stalled, two biggest leaves have died off. Those 2 tiny new leaves are stagnant same today as they were when the burn happened.

Replacement blue tara in it’s proper place.

Little more nutes today for the big ones.

Burple should be forbidden for pics ejem|nullxnull , no way to see if you have some great plants, deficiency, excess, yellow leaves or even bugs with them icon_e_confused|nullxnull, that is quite frustrating … frech|nullxnull

Lol, 8’ back I can get a shot still with bars :slight_smile:


Soon this cabinet goes goodbye again… Someone made an offer I couldn’t refuse… Rebuild again… Few mods and some testing first though.

Curious system, how often do you change the water? Also cool cabinet Arriba|nullxnull , no ventilation? :sunglasses:

Right now just topping off/amending. Roughly weekly change.

Once better established in veg they’ll go into bigger more dwc like reservoirs - right now just old-school kratky method.

Top right has the exhaust, these doors fit loose so bottom up airflow along the front. Just adjusting to see how it reacts to the 3rd light, may add a 2nd in the other top corner. With 2 lights - there’s enough passive flow to keep temps only 3-5° above ambient. 3 is needing some help.

Still banding but no blurple to really fuck it up :slight_smile:

I have to respectfully disagree with you on the blurple ban George… :pleading_face:

As a diagnostic tool blurple can be very useful.
You can sometimes ‘see’ things under blurple before they are evident under normal light. Our Mark 1 eyeball has a different response curve than a CCD camera so it can be difficult capturing images to document.

{edit} OK, in hindsight that sort of supports your initial point. :thinking:

Cheers

I’m so glad to see you growing these out! I made the beans and am thankful that at least some have made it out in the world!

Thanks for preserving them :slight_smile: much obliged - missed the seed run sign up but luckily shadey had a few extras :slight_smile: once they arrived it was pretty much “un fait accomplis” that they were getting popped right away! Let’s just hope I can grow something worthy with them!

Best of luck with the grow!

Struggle this week, humidity is staying super low. Adding piezo cooler exasperated it, so added in an airstone for now. Yes checked against a normal hygrometer :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Lost the seedling BT again… Grrr. Kcup/agentk are topped & up to 500ppm MC

Got humidity up around 40% now. Everything exploded - caps on the buckets (more humidity for roots) + more humidity in the cabinet made them explode with new growth since yesterday afternoon.
