Hi ICMag!
First post here or on any MMJ site; this forum was recommended by a friend/member as THE place for growers to congregate.
So yeah, here I am , all brand new an shit. Never grown anything indoors in my life so dont assume I know jack from shit.
Lets get to it.
Ive been watching hundreds of hours of YT vids and lurking on many forums researching my plans and putting them into action.
Shout out to Snype , your newbie tuts are quite the primers, all of them, not to mention the rest of the tuts Ive found here on icmag.
Ok so this is where Im at: I have sprouted some (free/gifted) Herijuana IBL and Star Kush F2 (Mota Rebel strains) seeds in some Jiffy Pellets (Peat) using aerated tap water in a moisture dome. These seeds were 8 years old and 3 heris and all 5 SK's sprouted (wo0t!) within 3 days. the rest of my jiffy tray has 7 unsprouted pellets. Unfortunately, there was some mystery meat bagseeds & there was also 4 unsprouted heris.
Ill number the questions so you can pick the ones relevant to you to answer easier. Hope Im not coming across as a pretentious fucktard here.
1 Can I just dry those unsprouted pellets out and reuse em later?
2 Should I look at the seeds inside to see if the seeds rotted or just toss the things out ?
Moving on...
So the sprouts are currently under 4 bulbs of badboy 4' t5 and looking good . They've been under there for a day. Also , Ive opened the vents on the top to let them breath since the root tips are coming through the bottom of the jiffy pellets already.
3 Should I go ahead and 18/6 these sprouts now?
I am going to go against advice Ive seen on so many forums and start out using DWC/RDWC on my first ever grow. I figure if this is what I intend to use going forward , fuck it , learn the way I want to learn , I can learn soil, and the other grow mediums when I get the DWC/RDWC method dialed in. That said, I have two strains and dont need to build my RDWC rig until the sprouts are sexed and fully mature. That means Im going to toss these 8 babies in two Tote style containers and DWC them till they are showing sex.
Based on my research , I wont be using anything but ph'd water the first two weeks dwc. My water is ~50ppm and ph~7ish out of the tap. Ill just PH to 5.8-6.2
4 Is this kosher or should I modify this nute plan ?
After two weeks , I will start on 1/4 strength GH flora series nutes. Im leaning towards Snypes formula of using just two of the three (I have to look it up again to remember which ones) but Im gonna keep it as simple as possible. I am gonna pick up some cal mag and a GH flora pack so Ill have other stuff , but wont use them till I understand what they will be for. I would appreciate any links you may know of concerning the flora series in rwdc, but believe you me, I do know how to use the search button here on iicmag, so save the flamezorz, please.
5 Could someone tell me why and when to use calmag? I see the stuff used in a WIDE variety of rwdc/dwc rigs on youtube , but just havent quite figured out how,why or if I should use it .
Now , Im on the fence on when to throw these jiffy pellets in a net pot with the hydroton and crank up the dwc.
6 Since the root tip is already poking through the litlle membrane on the outside of the pellet, can I just pop these kids in a net pot now?
How long should I wait to start the dwc?
Let me clarify - My plan is 2 x 25-35 Gal totes 4 sites each 4-6" netpots under an 8x4' t5 badboy in DWC for vegetation. I picked up a new MarsII 900W for flowering, but Im getting ahead of myself.
7 Are the jiffys going to shit peat moss all into my system once they go to rwdc? Is this even worth worrying about if I use a 4 or 6" netpot in hydroton for the dwc/veg cycle ?
I will be going with 8" Net pots in 5 gal lowes buckets for my bloom rwdc. I will get to work building it sometime in the next 3 weeks, using plans from Snype , HHT , and a few others I like.
8 What size net pot should I use to veg in dwc , if I plan on plopping the veg netpot into the 8" with hydroton medium rwdc for the flowering? I have 2" and 4" pots laying around but would go for 6" if you felt it was better for my pot-in-pot(-in pot lol) idea. To clarify, I was thinking Id veg in a 4-6" net pot , them move that smaller pot into the bigger one for flowering so there would be 2 net pots involved in each plant. I imagine this to be "just" for this first grow , not something to incorporate again.
9 Should I even try this or do you have a better idea? Im just concerned with the peat a. fouling an rwdc system and b. root rot similar to rockwool.
Once in bloom Ill decide to supercrop and/or reveg the standouts. Hopefully Ill have 2-3 mothers and a modest harvest by the spring, with the help of icmag of course. Im 100% certain Ill have some serious issues on this first try. Sooooo.... last question....
10 Does anyone want to see a journal on this grow/build?
To recap , its a RookieRun Journal/Buildout using (hopefully) Heirjuana IBL + Star Kush F2. Ill detail my whole bit, from budgeting & sourcing to procuring to building and running - the whole shitstorm.
Anyone wanna see yet another noobie journal?
