I was not planing on making a journal for this grow, So don't expect to see weekly up dates on this one. I am making this journal more for notes to myself, So that I can remember what I've done and when I started the plants. Thank you.
This grow will consist of two strains, Aurora Indica, and my own strain Skunky Papaya. I've gotten all of my seeds from Nirvana shop, except for the ones I grew myself, but they too originally came from a Nirvana seed.
Skunky Papaya;
I Had two Feminized plants growing side by side, Super Skunk, And Papaya. Somehow the Super Skunk mistakenly turned into a hermaphrodite, and pollinated the Papaya Plant. I did not notice until I harvested, and I got about 30 seeds off of the papaya plant. I believe these seeds to be Feminized! I planted 5 seeds to find out, and all surprisingly have sprouted.
Aurora Indica;
I got these seeds on sale from the daily deal that Nirvana used to have about 4 months ago. They are regular seeds, so I planted 3 with the hopes of getting one female for a mother plant. All have sprouted.
November 20th,
I started to sow the seeds in a wet paper towel, and within 4 days they all sprouted a tap root. It would have normally only taking 24-48 hours under a dome with a heating mat, but I let a friend use it and I am waiting to get it back.
November 23rd,
I planted all the seeds into 4 inch square pots filled with Black Gold Organic potting mix. I then put the 8 plants on the heating pad under the dome, and at this time I still have the plants in 24 hours a day of total darkness. A day or two later they all broke the surface of the soil, and then I turned on the lights. I have my light timer set to 18 hours on 6 hours off.
Lighting;
For the vegging cycle I am using a 4 foot, 4 bulb, T5 Florescent light fixture made by Hydro Farm. The bulbs I am using are 4 four foot 54 watt F54HO High Output T5 Fluorescent bulbs. For Flowering I use a HTGSupply Ultimate 400w HPS Grow Light. I hope to be upgrading to a 600watt with a digital ballast soon!
