Just a few bud shots, I am starting to wonder, are they ever going to finish?!! The HBD and Sr are coming along as they should be, they are in soil V2.. which has peat moss and sulfur cut in before planting, they are doing well!
Here are the mistakes I made;
1 I planted the first 3 before my soil test results were back, soil PH was 8.4. I cut in sulfur and peat moss to fix that, just worked it in around the girls, this got it to 6.5-7.0 range.
2 Not enuf water, they were only getting water every 8-12 days, now 2-5
3 Soil V3 was a bust, all I did was add 25% perlite and the PH dropped to 3.5-4.5 (wow, why?). The perlite on the surface turned yellow, I dropped some baking soda on it, fizzed like crazy. I reduced the perlite to about 10% and now back to 6.5-7.0 range.
4 I wanted to use new methods, and got a starter tray with humidity dome, worst sprouting results I have ever had in my life! It is in the trash, along with the starter plugs! To make things even worse I put a heating pad under it not knowing that it had no internal controls and cooked the next batch,,, I think they should have told me that when they sold it to me!
5 The Headbanger was sulfur deficient, when I figured that out, she greened up and started making up for lost time!
6 The temps are a bit high, need ventilation (working), I need better lights as well
The first 3 should have been complete last month at the latest (65 days from seed, dropped 11/20), but they look to still be 2-4 weeks out, with the WW being ahead, she has cloudy trics,,, no amber yet Also they had little smell, I started them on a sleep cycle and that has improved!
