Hello,
This is my first indoor grow(2 bagseed plants outside last year) and I want to do a seed run with some Lowlife Great White Shark and Joint Doctor Diesel Ryder. I am growing them in a little grow box inside a file cabinet. The area is 11.5"x10.5" and there is about 15" of grow height from the top of the container to the saran wrap just under the lights. The saran wrap is part division between the to sides of the box so that the pollen from each strain only hits the buds of that same strain. They are being grown in aluminum guinness cans with the top cut of(approx .4 liters) so they deffinately wont need anything more than 15". I have the technaflora Grow Boost and Bloom nutrients and have fed my seedlings twice with about half of the minum dosage on the bottle. Most of them are now very dark green and almost dark bluish. I deffinately wont feed them for a while. Being the newb that I am, I started the seeds under all four flourecent bulbs(26 watts 6500K totaling 7000 lumens) and burned the hell out of them. Is 89 degrees F going to be to hot for them once they are mature? I have one exhaust fan(4.5 inch 85 CFM 12V with only 6V power source to cut down on noise) but it doesn't do much since its in a file cainet with just a few tiny holes above the fan for exhaust and a small smace in front for intake from the room which is just for the light chamber(separated from the growth chamber by the saran wrap). I Started 16 seeds(8 and 8) in 1.5 inch rock wool cubes and lost half of them. Also, I wasn't paying attention when I was putting the seeds in the rockwool cubes so I didn't label them and have no idea how many of each strain I lost. I should be able to tell them apart by the time they show preflowers. I also started germinating the last two diesel ryders and great white sharks in paper towls and then rock wool cubes. THe diesel ryders both germed already but neither of the great white sharks have. I now have them under just two of the flourecent bulbs and the temp is around 76 degrees Fwith lights on 24/7. I hope to get pics up soon.
I would like to get atleast 150 seeds of each strain. If im understaing the seeding process right, the males relase the pollen a little before the pistils form and get sticky, then I brush the pollen on the pistils. After I do this, is it two weeks until the seeds mature and can be harvested, or just two weeks until the seeds start to form and the seeds aren't mature until normal harvest. I think i have heard both. Also, how dry should I get the buds before I take the seeds out? Can I gem those seeds right away?
ANy advice or comments welcome
