Promix HP Mycorrhizae,
-will be going from solo cups to 2 or 3 gallons until they can be sexed, then to 5 gallon containers.
4 inch fan and carbon filter,
2 small non articulating fans.
Its been rough because the first go around, i had aphids enter the tent. I believe this was because the soil mix i was using at the time was contaminated with the bastards. After a hard fought battle, i cut down the tent and made ice hash and then edibles and tried not to think of the bugs i was eating. I figured it was punishment for beong so cheap and using questionable soil.
The 2nd grow, again calamity struck, but this time in the form of spider mites! The varmints had entered due to an outbreak amongst my gfs house plants. She took in some outdoor plants from a friend and the bastards infested pretty much everything in the house. Luckily my grow was nearly done, so i just cut everything down before the spider mites infiltrated my basement and the tent.
Fuck I hate aphids. Finally got rid of them. I ended up cooking my soil in the oven, had a few hanging out as I had some plants I did not want to lose. I feel much better about life now. Hope you beat them.
I usually can’t bring myself to pop any less than 5 of the same strain. Usually enough variation in phenotypes unless you’re growing something super inbred to make it worthwhile and I like to see what a decent representation of the strain might be before I potentially keep one around.
Gpaw- lol is it that bad? It may have been a quick trip to canadian tire for most things. And joti also interests me because he does fair priced 15 seed packs of great genetics and throws in a free extra 15 pack. I got the rom x hot rod, which looks good in and of itself.
Welcome along basement beans.
George- i have been doing multiple strain grows the last few years in general and want to just do a monocrop. Just wanted to do 7 because thats about half a pack.
Bunny- i have battled the bugs long and hard and i thunk i came out ahead.
When do you begin to add nutrients to mediums like coco or promix? I wait till the 3rd weak generally and add 1/4 strengrh mix liquid nutes and slowly increase. The increase is usually based on how tall the plabt is and what the roots are looking like.
Ime, promix holds moisture pretty well under the surface, so uts better to go easy on the watering till the plants are able to uptake water at a good rate.
Thanks guys, very excited for this strain. Going to do things properly this go around. I will be taking clones and give some away as backups in case they are needed. Hoping for something really good
Looking prefect! Nice fat healthy babies. Yeah I went easy on the nutes as well early at first. But when I switched to jacks a few growers I trusted said hit em from day one. Been doing that about a year now.
Looks good man… hope you’re not a grudge holder… I have some black candy land and black Delato from joti , so cool to see some run before I run them… I hear good things about the black line…
