Nirvana-shop:5 fem. Papaya

Attitude ordered/Greenhouse made:1ea fem..... Big Bang, Super Silver Haze, Lemon Skunk, Himalayan Haze, White Rhino, And and free Moby Dick seed from attitude.



So its day 3 into germination and 4 of the 5 seeds from Nirvana-Shop sprouted.

Way i germinated. Soaked seeds in GOOD water, EC-55-60ish, PH of water was 6.0. For about 12hours then i took some seeding soil i bought from Home-Depot soaked it because it had alot of perlite in it and was very spungy put it in those little biodegratable seedling cups also from Home-Depot . Then i put the seeds in alittle less than a finger nail deep. Put the cups into a tuperware container and put plastic wrap over it. Put in the garage and put a blanket over it. Im hoping im going to get 100 percent germination from my attitude seeds. i just put them in the soil this morning so by sunday they should have sprouted.

I will have pics up week by week. And have pics of my grow tent onces i figure out this high temp. issue im haveing.

so i changed my tent temp alot. It went from 90 with the light on to 81 -82 with the light on. I moved my inline fan and filter in the tent, pushing the air out instead of sucking there air out. It seems to work better. But the temp is still to high for me. Im going to see if i raise the fan and filter up to the top of the tent if i can get it down another 3 or 4 degrees.

ok so i had to move my inline fan all over again. The temps reached 90 degrees last night soo i went out and bought a AC window unit. Very small one cost me like 80 bux i think its 5500 BTU's. I made a box that is shaped around the outlet of the ac unit and then put some 6" ducting inside and sealed it off. i ran the ducting through a hole at the bottom of my ten. I also bought two heavy duty wall hooks that can hold up to 60pounds a peace in dry wall. Hung my inline and carbon filter up at the top of my tent which is once again 4 by 4 by 10. I exchanged my Hordilux 1000 watt HPS with With a 600watt SolarMax HPS. Now i cant put my light closer about a foot and a half from my plants. With the 1000w i couldnt hang it as close and alot of the books ive read say that 600watt HPS can be alot better because of how close you can put it the plants without burning and get more lumens to them. SOOO My temps are down at a constent 78 degrees FINALLY. I bought some dry ice and put it in there but i think i might buy a co2 tank a regulator.

O yeah and all 5 of my nirvana seeds germed and sprouted. Im hoping my others will sprout by tommorow. Ill post picks this weekend at the one week Mark.

OK so today i transplanted from my little cups into a small pot. I lost my White Widow and the moby dick never germed.
The green house seed are the smaller ones because they took awhile to to recover seeing ass i left them in a unsutable condition for acouple days they also germed a couple days after the 5 papaya seeds. The papaya Are doing nice they are pretty already.

DAY 1 of VEGG starts today.
- no nutes yet
-mix of seeding soil and organic soil
- temps 74-79 during light cycle
night 66-70

1st Day of week 2 of veg growth.

((((((All descriptions are from first pic))))))
The middle plants and the top two on the right are the Papaya plants. Like i said up there before they sprouted days before the others so there alot bigger.

The Two on the left (top) is Bing bang alittle droppy but will recover. left (Bottom) is Super Silver Haze. I was doing awsome but it started to get stressed idk why but is seems to be doing better.

I started Giving the Papaya a teaspoon of Earth Grow yesterday. I will do so for the next week. I will most likly up to nuts next week.

Nah man. This is my first grow no shit. I just did alot i mean alot of research.

It all started about 4 months ago when i was enjoying my weekend. I was bored so i thought id look at weed online.(i havnt smoked in about a year)(But i am in love with it i just cant smoke right now due to my current job) So anyways i was watching things on youtube and i came across a clip from Jorge Cercantes gorilla grow. Soo i ordered his box set, then bought he newest grow bible. It went up hill from there. I spent about 1500 USD on my set up and another 100 USD on seeds. Theres alot more to the story but i love weed even though i cant smoke it for another year. I cant wait for this job to be over. My wife smokes so she can reap what i sew.

Awesome, this journal deserves more attention than it's been getting. Nice grow. I've tried out a couple of the strains you are playing with. GHS Lemon Skunk is great. I am smoking some right now. Taste is wonderful, not skunky but very strong and my pheno came out tasting and smelling exactly like an apple. It's crazy. Potency is very good as well. I grew 5 of Arjan's strains and I like the Lemon Skunk the best so I think you will be very pleased with it. Unfortunately I don't feel the same about the GHS White Rhino I grew. Generally bland in smell, taste, and high. But I see other growers who really like their GHS WR so maybe I got a dud or something. Anyways best of luck, I'll try to help if needed.

Thanx guys. The lemon skunk looks like its catching up to the others(it germed last).

well my White Rhino is dead so i guess i wont have to worry about it.

Keep everyone updated.

Oh OK, I was confused because in your post you wrote "I lost my White Widow and the moby dick never germed." I thought you might have meant White Rhino instead because you no longer listed it with the strains you're growing but I wasn't sure. Doesn't matter anyway. You're better off without it LOL. I still have a Hawaiian Snow bean I never germed. Will be interested to see how you like it.

So me being the noob i am. I made my first noob mistake. Well ive been making it for the past THREE weeks unfortunatly. I tottaly forgot to test the PH of the run off water with the soil i was useing in the contaniers i am useing. Well for some reason it dawned on me to do so yesterday. FINALLy

Anyways with the organic Fox Farm Soil i am useing, brings the PH down by 3.0 roughly. So i thought i was giving them a normal ph of about 5.5-6.0 when i really have been giving them a ph of 2.5-3.5. UGH!!!!!!!!!!! So now i am going to vegg 2 or 3 weeks more than planed. Live and yah learn.

Will have pics tommorow!
