Grow Journal 1 Nirvana Bubbleicious

Tonight is the beginning, and I'm as nervous as I am excited.
The seeds from Nirvana (Bubblelicious Fem.) arrived today. The first one will be sleeping wet and in the dark tonight and we'll see were we are in a few days.
I'm be placing it in a moistened paper towel with rhizomes, as per the suggestion of Cali Green's (YouTube).
I'll break down my equipment in the next post.

Peace

So I've placed two seeds into the dark to sprout. I'm going with a straight Foxfarm grow for my first run. I've invested in the long haul. I've included a source list and cost for reference. I'll be doing low stress training (LST) in the hope of keeping the plant height low and increasing production.
This is my first grow, so, as much as possible, I'll be keeping it simple.

I'm sure I've already made some mistakes or unwise choices. It's all part of my knowledge growth as much as the plants, so I'm open to any feedback or suggestions.
I'm open to questions too. [TABLE="border: 0, cellpadding: 0, cellspacing: 0"]

Setup coming along nicely!! I don't keep track of what I've spent: it would be too depressing! ;-}

Have you got a little heat under those seeds, EZ? I always put a germination pad under my germination tray, and they pop fast with a little heat and the right level of moisture. It depends on how warm the environment is, but I always do it that way now, and it always works.

I've got some of those Nirv. Bubblicious, too; not for next grow, but the one after that.
 
Morning ezd, yes indeed, you are ready now, and we all on GWE are going to try our best, to help you be successful, and harvest some fine bud.
I've grown, Bubblelicious from Nirvana before, but mine was an autoflower, I kinda wish you would have chosen autoflowers for your first grow, cause they are so much quicker.
Best thing I can tell you now is to continue reading an learning all you can from Gwe. And make sure your FFOF has the right PH, and there is no bugs that you can see in it. Anyway. It's still gonna be ok anyway, but it's been known to be like that before.
goodluck.
 
EZDreamer You are off to a good start.
One tip, try to move the electrical (power strip, timers, etc) out of the tent or at least mount it securely higher in the tent.
Good luck!
 
I don't know how big your tent is but you might want to consider a 6" fan and filter. I started with a 4" but have upgraded to 6" fan with speed control. Also suggest a timer for lights. Good luck!
 
Alltatup, I'm so with you regarding the price of everything. I knew I was invested, but the bottom line kinda hurt. I'm keeping in mind that spread out over many grows it will begin to be worth it.
I didn't try the heat, but it is a good idea. I saw it done in several videos and it was successful for them too.
Capeson, I saw that the power strip was a little low too. I have since moved it all up to the top. Thanks for the advice.
 
D.A.A.S.69, I'll double check that FFOF PH. Ocean Forrest has been described as the "perfect ph soil) in so many places that I have been complacent in checking it. I never thought to look for bugs. I'm going to do all that right now.
Thanks Friend
 
Thanks for the heads up and link. I've read through it and like what you're doing. After I get a couple of successful grows under my belt, I hope to try some KISS grows as well. I really want to try it the long way, just for the exposure to all of the principals I've found in GWE's amazing resources.
I'll continue to follow your progress. It looks good.
Thanks again.
 
Thanks for the suggestion. My tent is 27"x 27"x 66". I went back and forth between a 4" or 6" fan and finally settled on the 4". I'll give it a couple of grows and make the call. I've already got one loaded on my wish list.
I do have a double timer plugged into the power strip, supplying just the lights. It's programmed and ready to go. I just realized it's not on my equipment list. There's another $15 I forgot about, lol.
 
My seeds are still soaking in the dark. I've been running the system checking temps and humidity and looking for potential failures. Everything seems to be good. Temp has been running 69 and the humidity is 54.
I'd like the temp to rise up a couple more degrees, but I really don't want to add any heat source that may go wrong in the near future and damage my plants.
 
PuravidaC
Signature still says 4"
I think it depends on a lot of factors, but particularly heat and humidity for the plants and noise for you. If you need to vent lots of heat and humidity you may need a 6" fan even in a small space. If you live in a cooler dry climate and use LEDs you can certainly use a 4" fan in a reasonably large space. The thing that often gets overlooked is that 6" fans will be quieter than 4", so if that is an issue, best to go large.
EZDreamer
I was trouble shooting your list and almost wrote that you needed pH up and down, then I saw them in the pics... guessing they weren't free ;)
 
Just FYI, Cannabis seeds don't require darkness to germinate, just wet and warm. More important to have warm than dark for sure and you can even use a light to keep them warm.
Also, be aware that the plants themselves will affect the environment, particularly the humidity in the tent. Are you running your lights for these tests? LEDs do heat up the tent somewhat.
 
Yes, I'm running everything as normal LED's on plus 150W CFL.
I have to admit that I hadn't heard that the seeds didn't need the dark. Everyone seems to suggest setting them a dark space. That just makes it easier all the way around.
I'll have to look for the speed control. Where did you get yours? I can see that it would resolve a couple of issues for me.
Thanks all for your support.
Peace
 
Yeah, the second seed was a last second add in and I regretted it after the fact. I guess we'll see what develops and learn a couple of things along the way.
