Today is day 35 from seed, tomorrow starts week 6, and have to say it's been kind of fun. No muss, no fuss. They seem like they started out a little slow, and I think they were just jones'n for some nitrogen. They started in 60 % promix, 20 perlite, 20 worm castings, a bit of kelp and greensand and that's it. As soon as I started feeding them, they got real happy. Since life expectancy is about that of a mayfly, I figured they eat more sooner.
Last grow, I mixed all the ferts into the soil, and this time I'm using teas. Advantages to both, but teas are kind of fun to mix, and seems to leave you in congtrol of their diet. Since little danger of buring them with organics, I gave them a loading dose of 3T each high nit and high phos guano, 2 T molasses, 1 T LK, 4 T Big Bloom, and a drop or two of Superthrive. I know that sounds like a lot, but, they are really digging it. Having Lows in 3 and 5 gal pots, I'm hoping by letting the tops get really dry, they'll put down some deep roots. The promix is very airy, and holds water well, but drys fast with HPS and fans blowing on them.
They're started to smell a bit, smells like ganja to me. Happy Sunday.
