Grow Journal ** New Grower ** Sweet ZZ Auto

Here we go again! This is me 3rd attempt! Attempt 1 was a small but produced 3oz roughly. Second attempt is currently still underway but tent location and temp have been huge issue.
This grow I’m bringing the entire setup back INSIDE! It’s just too hot in the storage closet in the garage.

  • Day 1 - 7/25( seed dropped in :droplet:/peroxide)

Good luck, should be easier to control the environment inside.

Bro as big as this last one got despite the 100 degree temps and my own laziness on the nutes/pH I CAN’T WAIT to see what this one produces inside with me logging water, temps and nutes and getting real time feedback from the forum!

*adding CalMag and Flora(micro/gro/bloom)

  • going to be growing in Living Soil/Coco Coir/ perlite/ mycorrhizae

The pearlite will give the soil good drainage. I would advise against the coco…it has different ph needs than the soil and I have seen people struggle when they combine them. Not saying it can’t be done.

My two cents.

I get better quality indoors…you’re going to like it.

Agree with @Riskguy . Get your soil nailed down but id stick with one or the other. You’ll be able to get more precise input whichever you choose. The coco will increase drainage whereas the living soil you kinda want to hold onto its juice as its producing the nutrients within itself. You know everyone is here to help. Look forward to the grow.

Finished moving my entire setup from an outdoor storage room of the garage that I had somewhat attempted to insulate. It works great in the winter months but the summer is just too too hot. So we’re back growing truly indoors. The good AND bad side of that is that there’s not much outside myself to blame if it all hits the fan.
Thanks to everyone following along and BIG SHOUTOUT to anyone that offers constructive criticism and tips and tricks, etc. I’ll drop some pics shortly.

I’m struggling with either to go ahead and germinate another couple seeds now that I’ve moved the tent inside. I feel more and more like this plant is becoming a waste of my time…I’m about to post a couple pictures or 2 of how she started off! She was an absolute monster with very little defoliation (basically left it alone and moved branches as I could.. it stills blows my mind how good the looked relative to now. Biggest difference between now and then.. won’t be trying to grow in 100+ degree tent temps. Excited to say the least.
:backhand_index_pointing_down: this is how they started before it was 100+ every day​:see_no_evil_monkey:

But thhis is what she looks like now.. I’m probably going to toss it and start fresh with 2-3 new ones. What would you do?

Got my General Hydroponics Flora Series in yesterday! Super excited to try on this grow. I’ve only been growing for about a year and I’ve never used any very solid nutrients correctly. I think I’ve had a problem with getting nute happy and water happy so I’m definitely going to watch that with these two!
Both germinated in 3 days in cup of water/peroxide and one is already above the surface so it’s a few days in front of the other.

Day 7

Got both seeds to sprout seedlings. One is having trouble shedding its membrane and is very fragile. I think I may not have planted the taproot deep enough or something it’s too flimsy to mess with it right now even with tweezers. I tried to pack it down a little further but it’s touch and go at this point.

On the other hand the second seedling it’s looking great and even catching up to its older sister, so we do have some good news. Here’s a few pics:
