Germed an Auto Pounder with Cheese seed in 24 hrs via wet paper towel and zip lock bag. Dropped her in the soil and away we go!
Soil:
Fox Farm Happy Frog/Ocean Forrest 50/50 mix. FFOF was too hot for my seedlings the last couple of grows so will tone it down with some HF. Low PH was a major issue last grow due to bad soil, so have done some pH testing of the new soil. FFOF is 6.3 and FFHF is 7.0, so mixed together seems like a nice place to be.
Nutes:
Fox Farm Liquid & Soluble Trio, Cal/Mg juice, mollassis - Spent a few bucks to upgrade to Beastie Bloomz, Cha Ching & Open Sesame, hoping it'll pay off. Cal/Mg added to help with LED lighting deficiencies.
Container:
Airpot 5 gallon equivalent. Holds 3.6 gallons/13.8 liters of soil, enough for a potential monster plant.
Water: Bottled spring water & air pump - I'm switching to spring water from distilled due to a perceived lack of 'trace minerals' encountered in previous grows. Distilled water TDS is 0, Spring water is ~ 50ppm, and my tap water is 450ppm on a good day. The air pump is lesson #1 here @ AFN, so no big surprise.
Lighting:
The trusty LG-G04B96LED 300w Reflector LED. Actual draw 190 watts, 96 x 3w bulbs. Since the last MJ grow this unit has been growing my common veggie seeds with an almost 100% germ rate. I have only grown 24/0 and may switch to 20/4, but havent decided. You can check out my LED review for more info. https://www.autoflower.net/forums/f147/lg-g04b96led-300w-reflector-led-review-30783.html
I'm using a couple CFL's to get her going and help her stretch up and will eventually be removed.
