My First Mixed Seeds Grow Log

Today i repotted 2nd gen. For 6+ and 9+ used Totallmix. For the rest used 1:1:1:1 totallmix: peat: perlit: universal substrate.
I just went to 12x12cm pots. I invented an easy technique to keep the plant clear and for fast repotting. Helped a lot for this size of pot.
First add a bit soil to bottom. Put same size of small pot inside. Fill around with soil, press a little (Making the soil humid before work will make easier). Take out the small pot. Put the plant in. Thats it.

First gen. roots were already sticking out from holes. I added a bit soil at bottom of their pots. I don't think they'll stay there until sexing. We'll wait and see.

And here is general view.

I recently bought 15x15x20cm (3.6 liter) pots for their second home. First repotting doesn't count, that was temporary :) First group couldn't stand in them anyway. Second group didn't show their roots yet but they would come in two days.
Here are the pictures.

First and second group in their new medium size pots. They'll stay there until flowering period. And there is no more enough space for 3rd group.
For that I also bought 36w PLL's to make new light fixture. They didn't have sockets for bulbs in stock, so i ordered online. Waiting them to arrive, then I'll set the lights.
And have reflector folio to cover the area. All be done this week if sockets arrive.

By the way, 6+ and 9+ already started smelling. Today i was in the room for long time and smell of grass was coming bit by bit. On their website saying "beware of smell". I didn't think this much. Soon i'll need neutralizer for sure. Now i realized why did they give those seeds for free...

Looking good to me. I've got some babies that broke soil just 2 days after yours so watching you with keen interest.;)

I've been working for all day in the room. Yesterday i was thinking about sockets then found out wire connectors can be used as sockets for PLL's. I thought myself very clever, then during the research about wire connections i saw someone else already did the same. Whatever, i was so happy to found that way, because online shop was too lazy to send my order. I simply canceled. Yesterday evening i satarted working on new setup, end of today i finished. There is still something to do, but i am tired already. Tomorrow will complete the small things left.
Also yesterday i trained number 1. It was the longest, and i had similar strain on my previous growth. I know they're going tall, so earlier i applied LST.

And here are the details from new setup. 3x36w 6400k, 1x36w 2700k, 1x26w 2700k. I had this 26w plugin type CFL previously. Decided to use now. 13400lm on 4.2 square foot area. 3200lm per square foot right now. On flowering cycle i'll add some more.
I fixed all the tubes with a flexible wire, so i'll be able to adjust them separately by plants size. Also , complete light fixture and pots stand are height-adjustable as well.

Yes i saw the connection isn't fixed well, i am going to fix it when the ligths are off. Because of the "cold start" ballast i bought, i can switch on/off only 3 times a day. Otherwise it will shorten the bulbs life.

Since i have a very small room it was in total mess during the work. On final steps, an accident happened and number7 lost two leaves. I checked and stem on the side looked fine. Hope the stem can grow well without its fan leave. And 6+ lightly injured from the leave.

I transplanted 3rd generation to 15x15x15cm pots. In last four unnumbered seedlings there is one mutant, very big and dark seedling. The reason i believe, seed was in the soil for too long and always got water, whatever left from the others. Totally mix with all kind of water i used and that collected all the nutrients and other elements in the pot. Finally cracked and absorbed all, then become a mutant (Officially number 15). There are three more like that mutant but they're small. 16 self topped by the same conditions, now two stems growing from top. 17 and 18 has very thin and long first true leaves.

In the end i am very much relaxed, this is done. All the plants are happy to share same amount of light now.

I'll attach missing pictures tomorrow...

Nice grow with all those flo's!:thumbsup: I'll keep a check on this log. Keep up the great work! Props to ya!!:jointsmile:

It would be nice to see their coevals. By the way i have three or even four different ages here. Which group is coeval to yours?

Thanks! And you keep up the great motivation :dance:


So, where were we?
Today i set small pc fans to the right side. Yesterday only one big side fan was working. Two tubes was very cool coz of the fan. Right two tubes were untouchable (well... touchable actually, but for couple of seconds only). After i set the fans all the tubes (except for 26w) were cool. That 26w 2 pin CFL and it's ballast. They re getting very hot like any other CFL's. Now efficiency of that PLL lights are much more clear for me. In flowering period i was thinking to use my old CFL's, but this PLL's just took me from me. Now i want to buy two more 36w and I want some special ones for plants instead of 2700k. We'll see about that.
But PH meter and EC meter is more important than lamps at the moment. I have $50 budget for them and i'll order online with PayPal. So i want to get some advice from you fellas. I checked on Ebay and they start around $20 each (Includes shipping). These are the cheapest. Should i trust them or is there any specific features must have on? Its really hard to decide by myself and goods from US are ok but shipping is too high. Preferably from Hong Kong or any other low shipping options will be good.

Yes, i know, you all feed up enough already with lamps and fans and things like that. Alright, lets get back to the room and see whats going on in there.

Here is the general view of final setup (final for now...)
[attachment=o260914]

Tomorrow fourth week will be started for the first generation. Well, since they had bad conditions about the soil, they don't look much 3 weeks old.
1[attachment=o260915] 2[attachment=o260916] 3[attachment=o260917] 4[attachment=o260918]

To be continued...

And again, third week will be started for the second generation. They alright.

5 is showing preflowers. Couldn't take a good picture of it, tomorrow will be much more clear though.
Seemed male to me. Who's agree with me?
[attachment=o260927]

Criticals (6+ and 9+) are going crazy. They didn't stretch as i expected, i was planning LST on them but since i have good light setup, can go like this i think. We'll see about that end of this week. If they strech enough i'll tie them down. At least one of them to see the effects. They're smelling much. Now the room smells almost same as my old grows 3rd months.
6+[attachment=o260920] 9+[attachment=o260926]

7 and 8 are also good. 7 seems ok after the accident. Didn't effected much, so grows well.
7[attachment=o260924] 8[attachment=o260925]

To be continued...

The youngsters in their big pots. Hope they'll like their new home.
They're 4 days younger than second generation. This is close end of their second week.

Part 4:
(Sound effect... Sound effect... Sound getting higher... higher... at the highest point it suddenly gets low and text comes from far with big ugly letters...)
THE MUTANT GENERATION
(Text crushes something and simultaneously sound effect makes couple of hits...)
:weedpoke:
(Sound effect gets lower again... near silence, text appears with a couple of low sound hits...)

Coming soon...

Well, since my last post i didn't get any feedback about the meters. I don't have much time these days, to research about them. Think the best is "Do it yourself or go without."Today i watered all except for some from the 3.rd gen.

Today was feeding day for all.
With first group i went with tap water and standart dosage of Hesi's TNT Complex, Root Complex and Powerzyme. I'll stick on this Hesi for the first generation only. Hesi isn't organic.

For the second group i started Plagron Alga Grow, recommended dosage in 1:1 Deionized:Tap water. Alga concept is for use weekly. I choose Alga for them because its organic + soil is also Plagron.

Third group was wet enough, they didn't get any. Only mutants got Hesi's Root Complex with tap water. But 15 also got Alga Grow.

Here are the mutants.
15 is standing in 15x15x15cm pot. Just compare the leafs length with 14, standing next to 15. I put 2 cm sand on top, to see how much it will help to top roots.
Others are still in their seedlings pot. Some algs growing in their pots. Well, i have not much to say about them. Just have a look...
