Well with my first grow almost coming to a end as chop day is coming. Wanted to start germinating 6 autos. I love this community and the friends i have made with just one grow.
Please feel free to help me in any way , i love learning.
What strain, Seed bank, or bag seed White Widow Auto Cropkingseeds Did not know about this place =(
Method: Soil Foxfarm fishy one
Vessels: 2 gal fiber pots 3 3gals
PH of Water, Solution, runoff (if Applicable) non yet
Indoor or Outdoor Indoor
Light system j1500 i have a brain fart with brand. Also have a new light on the way
Don’t sweat it I’ve grown decent plants from crop King. It’s just not a first choice now that I know more. I am actually probably going to drop a seed I have from them still.
It’s the only green crack strain I have and I want to grow it out.
Did you add hydrogen peroxide to your seed soak mix? If not do next time it softens the shell.
After 20hr soak transfer to Ziplocks bag and moist paper towel on something warm (light driver, heat mat, playstation, modem, etc)
Once you get the nice tails sink them in some medium, pre water the medium a day before, seed starter mix is nice ocean first from fox farms is a bit rich to go straight into.
Set lights on for 24hr for the first week or two.
Then down to 20/4
Crop King was my very first pick as the price looked good. Hoping i dont have one die like last time. I did not use hydrogen but will next time. You are awesome and i am glad i have my group here from the start =) Ill be on the hunt for some nice not Auto seeds next =). I messed up last time and didnt get enough soil. For 3 gal pots and 6 of them. Thinking about going to a big box store and looking at soil or is that a no no.?
Good luck with your grow! If you want to challenge yourself, try growing outside. My two outdoor plants are about half as big as my first plant was and are switching to flower way too small. Oh well they seem healthy, just small.
Current state 76 degrees one day snowing 29 F the next ;). Within a year i’m moving to our families 100 acre land. I think i might have to try at least one,
So i drove 40 minutes out to the closest hydro store. I was like a kid in the Candy shop. The manager had FoxFarm stuff but saved me money and said the below products are better. Anyone have any experiences. @Eagles009@Nicky@Covertgrower@Oheeeoh@PP3121@dbrn32
As long as the soil performs well. A lot of hydro shop are growers too, and they’ll try a product. I still would have went with Jacks for nutrients through. I don’t care much for paying for water.
I do have jacks nutes here already. He stated the two are inplace of the grow big and tiger one. The other product he stated will make the buds fatter and sweeter. Not sure lol
Don’t know the soil but if your grow store guy said it’s worth it then I would try it if it saves you money. Remeber to ensure you have 30% perlite in there though (you’ll most likely need to add some).
GH is good stuff, if you have Jack’s I wouldn’t have bought the GH but you have stuff to play with now. Don’t buy any other nutrients unless you understand the exact science behind them or you’ll spend alot of money and have no idea what your doing lol.
The sugar cane stuff is carbs, which feed microbes, usable in soil idk how good it is in hydro or coco if not using organics I haven’t had time to read into this one or test it maybe @Covertgrower can enlighten us.
The Kool look is a PK booster which helps in flower so they say, I’ve never used a booster yet so again can’t say but the science is there for it I do belive. I want to get some mkp to do the same eventually.
Jack’s is great and cheap GH is great it’s just not cheap like Jack’s.
I’m not going to discredit what you prefer, but last grow it was jacks 3-2-1 all the way through, with no flower boosters, and I literally didn’t see a difference from when I used boosters.
@Nicky Thanks so much , So this is what i thought .
The green smaller bottle was for veg like fox grow big or big bud. Then the Little purple one was for flower FoxFarm Tiger. The other two was after flower i thought. If i use Jacks which one would i eliminate again.
The flower and bloom won’t be used if using Jack’s, but you can use the PK booster and the sugars for sure.
Although I don’t know exactly how much of that PK booster you would use in your mix and how to go about it. So that’s something you’ll have to work out.
Normally with Jack’s we use MKP dry nutrients as a PK booster and thus its measured in grams per gallon.
@dbrn32 really not a fan of GH? I’m supprized.
Not a fan of fox farms myself either.
I know you tend to recommend local nutrients and I hear you but what are you a fan of that’s not Jack’s? Not that ide be buying it anyways I don’t use bottles if I don’t have to to heck even my silica is dry.
Well what were you feeding with?
As @dbrn32 said your going to want micro if you use the GH stuff otherwise you should stick with the jacks.
For a PK booster you have one you just need to figure out the math on it or buy some mkp and have it shipped to you. To use that as your PK booster when running Jack’s. Then use the other PK booster with the GH after you get micro.
Or save your receipt and return it for a ins tore credit is what I would do. Don’t open those bottles.
My two outdoor plants are about half as big as my first plant was and are switching to flower way too small. Oh well they seem healthy, just small.
