This is how i started, I germinated my seeds useing kitchen roll a plate and a bowl i wet the kitchen roll give it a sqeeze to get rid of any excess water and put the first 2 sheets onto the plate then i put the seeds spread out on the plate and put the second two sheets of damp kitchen roll ontop followd by the bowl. I placed all of it into a bubble parcil envelope and put it into an dark warm place. All of my seeds germinated within 2 days and i planted them into my small pots with a soil mix of 2 parts soil to 1 part perlite this is what they looked like after a week.
At this time i was only feeding them with water with Super vit in it. Only feeding them 20-25ml each every 2 days and spraying them with water when lights out.
I think the nex pic is from about 2 weeks in, My cheese is doing good,all have got good growth and im having no problems, Ive noticed that some of the pots have got roots coming out of the bottom so i left them for a day and decided to repot them.at this tome i started useing my Hesi growth nutes full strenth all the plants are responding well to the nutrients.
Repotting:
Now i never thourght that i would be repotting so soon so i never had my big pots in but i did have 10 black rubble sacks this is what i did, I made small holes in the bottom's of all the bags and then folded them in half. I used polerstirine broken up at the bottom for drainage it works and i mixed my soil 2 parts soil to 1 part perlite.
i soaked my plants before removing them from their pots and used a small pot to make the right size hole in the soil. I watered them well this is what they look like now it shows the progretion of the plant growth
Also i bownd the sacks with string so they would keep their shape, all in all my 10 home made pots cost £2.50 very happy.
Im a phew weeks down the line now and all of my plants are on 200ml full strenth nutrients i cant be too exact about the date's of the pics but here is what they lok like
Ihave been useing 400wat hps light during flowering and making sure that the plants had good ventilation and air circulation.
To top or not to top?
I read up on the subject and i decided to top my plants im useing Uncle Bens topping technique to get 2 to 4 main colas im going for 4 main colas. So i topped them when they was 35 days old and when they had 6 true nodes i cut them all just above the 2nd true node and this is how they look
After the topping i left my plants another two weeks to grow and they look good, all of the cuttings i took i have used for clones. Here is some pic's
My temp's have been staying at a constant between 24-27 deg. All my plants have got their hairs i cant see any possible hermies very happy.
Flowering
Im 2 weeks into flowering now im uesing Hesi bloom nutrients the plants love it they smell very nice im loving it,im useing my 600wat light now here are the new pics and now finaly im up to date.
If anyone has any questions just ask, hope u enjoy.
