My First Mixed Seeds Grow Log

[truepunk87]

Very nice log. Ill be watching this one :thumbsup:

[tevfik]

one thing "Classical Music playing radio"....maybe try some Classic Rock every few days.....Van Halen.....Boston.......Styx.......Stones.....Sammy Hagar....
will help............:stoned:

For now only option is the radio and no other good choices on channels than classic music. I also read jazz will help better than all.
I maybe make a little homework on this.

Today i switched on rest of the lights, and the temp is on highest value. 26,5C is the surface and 30C on top of the plants (80 & 86 F). %50 humid.
For humidity i covered the area with water trays. Before that it was around %30.

Temp will be lower (1-2 degree) when the pot levels are low. Now its just pots are blocking half of the air from fans.
Which is better? Stretched plants or one or two degrees lower temp?

[align=left]I gave them water 10 to 20ml. based on their humid level. Looks like from now on watering will be everyday by this amount of water.
When the rooms door is closed, temps are 27 & 31 C (80 & 88 F) +-1C When its open, 25 & 28 C +-1C. I kept it open as much as i can.
There are 5 cm diameter air holes on the door. 4 top and 4 bottom. I made 2 fanbox to be able to transfer air for every holes. I was working on this project very long. I tried every possibility. 5 cm axial fans directly on holes were weak and were making lot of noise. 8 cm computer fans with built box were quieter but they weren't so strong to push all the air on one direction. Also tried some other variants of axial fans. Either too noisy or weak.
Since then I'm using centrifugal fans, they are silent and strong to push the air. Specially when its needed to push. No air leak. I'm good with outtakes, but I'm planning to fix additional computer fans for the intake box to see if they make any better.

Second week started for the 1st gen.
2nd gen. developing their first true leaves.
Two from the 3rd gen. germinating. They'll catch up soon.

I checked fanboxes and there were sings for changes from previous tests. This mean i already tried different variations on this box. Just don't remember. This must be the best for them so i didn't make any changes.
I lowered the place where they'r growing and made the pots a little lower than before, turned big fans angle more to lamps. By doing all I managed to set general temprature to 26C (79F). Humidity is around %30-40.

1st gen. started their 3rd leafsets and tiny side stems are visible. Their roots coming out from the holes.
2 from 3.rd gen. germinated. There are 14 in total. But latest seedlings seemed little problems to me. 2 of them still trying to get up to surface for two days. Looks like they failed. Wait and see.

I'll mix water without TNTComplex (N:P:K 3:2:3) for this week. There is also PowerZyme, I'm going to give once today, or tomorrow to 1st and 2nd gens.

Now %33 warm white in the area. I changed all the tubes for 2700k and taped folio like here: Can I use foil on my florescents?. They look shiny now

Changed water to only deionized water with 0.7 dosage of Root Complex and normal dosage of Supervit.
For once added PowerZyme and watered 20 to 30 ml per plant. I'll use this PowerZyme weekly.

1st gen developing well enough. Their second set of leafs are already with 5 corners. Tiny side stems are more visible.
2nd gen is developing very healty.
3rd gen just too young yet.

First four had droopy leafs since three days. Yesterday i checked and soil was dry even at bottom. I watered. Water was not going, just staying on top. So today i decided to re-pot. I saw their roots were all around and too wet. Because of pressed soil, water wasn't going equally in the soil. It was all at the sides, and that over watered the plants i believe.
I used 11x11x12 cm pots.
For 1 and 2 I mixed 1:1:1 peat:coco:universal substrat and a little of perlit, sand. For 3 and 4 the ratio was 2:3:1.
They'll stay there until sexing.

We're just sittin' an' quietly, watchin'.

There's a soul settling serenity to watching new growth.:jointsmile:
It just feels, right!


Aloha grower,
Weeze

Good motivation Weeze, thanks.

Keep watchin'. :rasta:

There are no more seeds under the soil anymore. All germinated at this point.
I learned, my bagseeds have %100 germination rate if selected by looking at their size and color. Those failed at very beginning were different than usual looking. So that was the reason.
Now there are too many plants i have. I can't handle myself if comes out more than 5-6 female. Will figure it out somehow.

Olders are still trying to get back to normal. Their soil is still wet. No watering for them at least for 2 more days it seems.
Second generation is doing pretty good. Coz of soil or no nutrient water or both. 8 is very tiny. I like that.
Third generation looks good with their very mixed soils.
They live all together in their habitat except re-potted olders.
