Cataract Kush / White Widow / BCN Diesel Auto / Big Band

So I just started germinating my 6 feminized Cataract Kush, 2 feminized Seedsman White Widows, a feminized BCN Diesel autoflower, and a feminized Big Band.

They will be transplanted into a prepared woods area where 2'x'2'x2' holes have been dug, and a mix of his medium has been prepared into the ground:

2 parts Promix BX
1 part natural soil
1 parts Vermiculite
1 cup Northern County Pro Grow (5-3-4) pelleted fertillizer
1/2 cup Worm castings (1 - 0 - 0)
2.5 cups of pelleted garden lime

I plan on using bat guano for flowering. They will be checked probably weekly.

The area around the plants was limed with powder garden lime. The pH of the soil was around 4, so I really tried to make sure the pH has been brought up. Im going to test the soil again before they go in the ground. I figure I'll let them get there 3rd or 4th set of true leaves before they go into the ground.

I'm also going to transplant them once they need it into a 3" container thats long, so the roots will grow downwards (so when they go in the soil, they will expand outwards and root strongly, quickly).

How does this sound? The spot out there is very remote, so much so that if I dont have my GPS I would get lost getting out. There should be a good amount of direct sunlight (at least 5 hours a day).

I'll keep the thread up to date with more info.

All 10 seeds germinated. I used the paper towel method. First I boiled some water, and let 4 paper towels soak in it to help decontaminate them. I then sterilized a plate and a bowl and sandwiched them between the two sets of papertowels.

Just plopped them about a 1/4" deep in some Pro-mix (watered with pH 6.8 water).

We'll see if they're up by tomorrow. If so, then I'll take some pics of the girls.

Until then :rastasmoke:

All 10 sprouted, but one grew its taproot straight up out of the soil and died I think. Im gonna give it a day to see.

I went out and constructed a dual CFL reflector for under $40 using part of a dryer duct. I ordered 2 85W 6500K CFLs that produce 4,200 lumens each. I figured that should be enough to veg all of them to about their 4th node, and to easily grow a mother inside my closet using LST.

Ill take more pics later, the reflector has parts that are drying at the moment

This is gonna be a sweet log. I just got BCN Diesel fem and big band fem as freebies. I'm gonna watch to hatch those beans. The CK is a dank strain..... never grew it but have smoked it and tore me up from the floor up. Keep up the good work. Ill be watching!!!!!
