Here’s my first official post, off to the races, Day 0. 3 popped large enough to plant so planted those today. The other two have broken but not much of a tail so if they pop and look viable, I’ll plant them in the next couple of days and post an update. Otherwise these3 seeds below are the one’s I’ll go with and select the winner when they sex
Seeds:
1x The Church (FEM), just trying to see what this strain looks and tastes like for potential outdoor this summer. My only fem.
2x DIY Blueberry x PPP (REG, BPP for short, I call them Blue Power Plant), one popped a nice tail, the other is questionable but whatever, they’re in the cups now.
2x DIY Blueberry x Jack The Ripper (REG, BR for short, I call them Blue Ripper). Both are TBD, if they don’t look good in the next couple of days I’ll just go with the 3 above.
Cups:
Modified 16 oz./473ml (zoom in on package to see size marking on package) “Goodtimes” cups courtesy of Canadian Tire. I’m calling them SAC’s (Smart Air Cups), trademark pending
I used a recycled 5gal fabric pot. Cut the bottom off and flattened a cup to make a template. Cut several templates for the liner and bottom (see pics). I’ve had great results with fabric and have been wanting to try this. To allow for air pruning I punched several ¼” holes in the cups. Hoping that’s enough to mimic a normal fabric pot and build a solid root mass within the small space. In theory, big/solid root ball = 1 oz. finished plant? We’ll see, could be a win or a bust, trying it is the only way to know. The liner covers the bottom so no worries about roots coming through. Punched my standard 5x small drainage holes in the bottom with a large paper clip.
Medium:
My normal 50% Pro-Mix/50% Triple-Mix soil mix, good for veg, needs some help as they progress
Nutes:
AN base A&B, mainly bloom but may feed them low doses once they get a couple of nodes depending on what they tell me they need. Typically I go 300-400 ppm through veg, up to 600 ppm through flower.
Lights/Environment:
They’ll go into my main flowering room. Have 2x 3100k/315w LEC Sun Systems CMH and 1x LED with reds only (630/660nm) pulling 65W. The LED’s come on 10 minutes before the main CMH lights and go off at the end of the cycle. They’ll be on the floor for a few days until the pop through and acclimate, then go into the tray on the wall through the rest of the cycle.
Germination/Plant dates:
All were germinated beginning 2/9, the first 3 shown below were planted yesterday 2/14
Pics referencing what I posted above. Let’s grow some weed and good luck to all!
