Naughty.Psychonaut Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Fresh fruit smells when I open the tent, canopy very uneven because of the Super Lemon Haze just being almost 2 or 3 weeks behind the others, but also just seems like a smaller plant?

afternoon blazer Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Wat up bro. Things looking good. Just a few curious questions. What temp do u start ur seeds with inside the humidity dome? What light spec do u use for the humidity dome? And what height is the light at from the dome? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty.Psychonaut Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 @afternoon blazer What's good my dude! I have made quite some changes to my method of popping seeds, only because what I had before was stuff laying around the house! I will look at a few points, first answer your questions and tell you what I did with these seeds, then give my suggestions and recommendations based on what I did to avoid the same mistakes! I am learning as I go still, also very new to all this so wouldn't go around telling people to do what I do for great success!! I popped these seeds on a heat mat between 30 and 35°C. Under a 85W 4000K (cool white) CFL bulb hung literally 5cm above the dome. Around 85%RH inside the dome but as soon as they open their cotyledons remove the dome or you'll be risking a lot!! Get them used to heat and direct light and all that as soon as possible. As soon as you remove the dome you have to take the light up atleast 20cm away from the seedling or the heat will cause stress or even worse, burn the plant, while there's really not even enough light coming from those CFLs to make the plant grow. My suggestion would be to never waste your time and money on CFLs. When popping seeds you wana go for the same kelvin as for veg (between 4000k and 6500k, a nice cool white). You really don't need much Wattage because you're not vegging under this light and if it's only for propagation seeds as low as 10W will do. Also don't need much in terms of Lumens as this only becomes important when you're in full veg and the plant is taking up nutes and all that. Also a handy tip for people like me who are still learning, keep away from any biological matter when popping seeds. A seed will pop with nothing but moisture and in a high RH environment with a lot of biological matter you'll encourage all kinds of life to sprout and you risk a lot by doing this! This is where Jiffy pellets (any kinda sterile medium) and distilled water comes in!! Also, going over 35°C will cook your seeds and anything under 25°C will slow things down drastically, so grab a heat mat and thermometer, will help a lot with these cold winter nights!! Happy Growing!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Growing!! Thanks bud. Really apreciate the detailed help. I do have some good seed starter plugs. Dont have a dome or heat mat. I will try and use my light to increase the temp in the grow box. Will use a plastic something to create a dome maybe. Humidity is good in there for now. Wont fiddle with that too much. Thanks bro. Got a seed soaking at the moment. And 1 in the starter and in the pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty.Psychonaut Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 @afternoon blazer Nice, like they say you miss 100% of the chances you don't take and 100% success rate is still achievable without all the fancy gear, all you need to do is try! What light you using? I've seen so many different "make-shift" humidity domes, I would say the best ones are just bottoms of plastic bottles cut to fit over only the seed and as soon as life appears, remove the domes, individually, and drop RH to around 40% and increase airflow as there was none in the dome. Another rule of thumb is absolutely no light during germination. No roots ever want any kinda light on them whatsoever. Many people feel like they'll be able to see the roots so why not plant in a see through pot or something, but trust me "seeing your roots" is never a good thing unless you're transplanting or doing a DWC inspection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afternoon blazer Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Under 400 bucks bro. And he uses them. And is very impressed by them. So y not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty.Psychonaut Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Yeah, I was kicking my own ass when I saw that light. I might still return for a refund then pick up the same one you have! On the other hand, I'm im the process of building a proper 300W LED for the tent then will upgrade all my propagation stuff and move my 300W blurple to the propagation space and will no longer need the floods. So might even be worthless, might just return for refund and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty.Psychonaut Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 Just daily check ups and water when needed. Day 38: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty.Psychonaut Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Flower day 47 Daily check ups, Seems the Blueberry is finishing up with some rather small buds, but they're plenty. Wondering about what could have gone wrong, but she just didn't respond at all to the last two feedings I gave, so I started flushing her. Not gona risk is and rather have a smaller harvest. This is the same plant I had ph problems with in the beginning of its life, that's all I can think of that might have caused this somehow. Got another seed sitting in the fridge, so excited to see what happens with that one!
