G13 From Dr Greenthumb Grow Journal

[barrelmaker]

Wanted to start this on the 1st but I germinated the seed 3 days ago, soaking it in distilled water for about 6 hours then to the wet paper towel as per docs instructions . I don't like adding any nutrients though. There was a tap root the next day.

Tomorrow it will go into a General Hydroponics Waterfarm with an added 4 inch air stone for DWC under T5 lighting.

I will post them tomorrow.

Day 5 . Earlier She was place in her new Waterfarm bucket and put in grow tent under T5 Lights. Here we go.

What size lamp are you going to use to flower this girl?

 

The last dr greenthumb pure G13 completed journal i saw was a huge bush full of colas im thinking of buying a pack and grow it under one of my 1000 watt hoods to see how much i can pull per plant.

I would love to watch this grow. The only thing holding me back from this strain is seed price.

 

Good Luck!

I believe you get what you pay for . I love his Bubbua Kush and it was exacly as advertised "hashy juicy fruity"

Question: I use waterfarms too, and it's been so long I've grown anything from seed I'm a little nervous about how to go direct from a spouting seed (some Endless Sky I'm waiting for KingDiamond to finish reporting on, lol) to the waterfarm. In the past I've always grown the seeds in soil, then taken clones to use in the waterfarm. I'd like to try skipping the soil cycle this time. I was considering sticking the sprouted seed into a rapid rooter until root growth appeared, then sticking that in the waterfarm.

 

Did you just stick the sprouted seed directly into the waterfarm?

HEY!

 

I am doing my best i admit my first run was a complete disaster but my latest girls are flourishing and looking great i will be updating my journal shortly.

[barrelmaker]

I did put the seed in rockwool . I'll take pencil or something and poke a hole , then put the seed in the enlarged hole. I 'll take a little piece of the rockwool and thin it out to the size of a piece of paper and put it over the hole. The G13 poked out the next t day . Once I saw leaves i put it in the Waterfarm .

I'm not to proud to admit I'm shamelessly stealing from your experience.

 

And thank you.

Thanks for the info BM. Was it something like a 1.5 inch rockwool plug? And did you put the seed in tap root up or down?I'm assuming either way the root did not extend out the bottom of the plug initially? Once you put the sprouted seed in the plug did you immediatly put it in the waterfarm, or did you wait until roots had appeared thru the plug?

 

Thanks for all the info.

[barrelmaker]

The smaller less expensive rockwool, like 1 inch i think . no it was a couple days. The first pic is day 1 in the Waterfarm. They somethings have roots coming out , this one did not

Looking very nice already!

Cant wait to see how they grow up.

[edawg]

Day 32

650 ppm 5.32 pH

Day 32

650 ppm 5.32 pH ...................... Isn't that ph a little low ?

Edited December 3, 2011 by knucklehead bob

[barrelmaker]

Do you think ? For a while now I've used the Lucas formula and he says 5.2. That could increase the Nitrogen availability. Any recommendations?

[knucklehead bob]

Not sure , I'm not a hydro guy , just seems low to me . If that's what Lucas says then yer right there .

[Inepsa]

What nutrients are you feeding that?

[barrelmaker]

I use Floranova Grow

[Inepsa]

That PH isnt bad really. I run mine a little higher than that, but i use different nutes

[barrelmaker]

Day 58 ppm1300 pH 5.8. Took 4 Clones and topped a week ago. The Ph was too low and finding she really likes being feed.
