Life begins anew! This Green Gelato from Royal Queen just popped today. I started the seed in a cup of water for almost 24 hours and then put it right in a starter plug and into a 5 gallon geosynthetic pot filled with a 3-1-1 mixture of Canna Coco, GS1 Growstones, and perlite. Germinating time was 3 days, which is nice and quick. For now I'm simply giving the plant approximately 60ml of plain reverse osmosis water, with a pH of 6.3, each day. During veg I am using eight 24" T5 lights and use a mixed spectrum. Six white and two red lights. The plants are living in a 90cm x 90cm x 180cm Secret Jardin DR90 with a single 6" clip fan.
I would like to thank everyone who follows this diary and would also like to give a big thanks to the people at Royal Queen. Happy growing!
Day 4 update: I've given the plant it's first true watering. During veg I'll be using Canna Coco A+B, Cannazym, and Elite 91 Myco Jordan (mycorrhizal inoculant). Since I use the Myco, which is a beneficial bacteria and helps the plant with nutrient intake, I go half strength on all nutrients. The Myco is the reason I have started using a reverse osmosis filter for plant water. The water company where I live uses chloramine in the water and that would kill the beneficial bacteria. Chloramine, unlike chlorine, will not evaporate. So, if you are using a beneficial, check and see what your water company puts in the water.
