I log all my grows over at grow diaries, but figured I would also journal it here for those interested. Anyone interested in checking
out my current and older diaries can see them at THIS LINK
The seeds I'm growing are some ILGM Northern Lights I purchased last year. I've run these once before, but under my cheap Amazon lights, so I wanted to run these again to see how they come out under my new lights and the different growing methods I've learned since then.
Plants sprouted on July 11th and they have been growing very quickly so far. They are only on day 15, since sprout, and they already needed to be transplanted into 1 Gallon pots today. This is going to be an all organic living soil grow. The only nutrients I will be adding will be in the form of compost teas and dry fertilizer top dressing from time to time.
Soil being used will be a 50/50 mix of Elevation Summit Soils Base Camp and Nectar for the Gods #4 that I amended with 1Tblsp/Gal of Elevation Organics Mountain Blossoms 7-2-3 Vegetation. I will be using the Mountain Blossoms Vegetation fertilizer as a tea throughout the vegetation stage once a week. I will brew the compost tea with the fertilizer at the recommended 4-8mL/L of water and then will feed it at full strength each week in small doses (about 50mL of tea for every liter of soil).
All 4 plants have been growing at similar rates but I do have one mutant in the bunch that was only growing on one side from the start. It seems to be starting to grow like normal now so I will need to keep an eye on her. All 4 plants had their root balls dusted with Xtreme Gardening Mykos Wettable Powder before transplant and then were drenched with a solution of molasses water mixed at 1 TBSP of molasses per gallon of water.
Plants are currently still in my nursery tent and will be for probably another week or two until my other grow is harvested. So, for clarity, the plants are currently in a 2.5’ x 2.5’ tent under an HLG-65 light. Once they move into the 4x4 tent they will be under 480W of 3500k Samsung FStrip lights dimmed to about 60%. The lights will be brightened a little each week until they are flipped to flower and will then be at 100%. Environment in the tent has been holding at right around 80F @ 50% RH.
These pics were taken last Tuesday (7/21)
And these were taken on 7/25 just after transplant.
