When to start seedlings on nutrients
Week 1 Growing Marijuana Indoors! - Planting Seeds, Mixing Nutrients
what is up everybody few guys that don't
know me my name is mr. Grodin you're
tuned into my weekly gross series we are
on episode 2 of this girl series and
it's been five days since the plants
have sprouted some of you may be
wondering why one of the plants is a
large grow pot while the other plants
are in small plastic cups I will get
into the reasoning behind this in this
episode and will also talk a little bit
about feeding the plant nutrients in the
early part of its life but first I have
a few packages to open up Big Show to em
big el e hydroponics for sending these
packages in this first package is a 6
inch carbon filter this carbon filter
cleans the air so to remove the smell to
plants once this is connected to an
inline fan and ducting this white fabric
here is a pre-filter which is washable
the carbon filter can be used as either
an intake filter or an exhaust filter so
either place inside the grow tent and
air gets sucked into it and then through
the ducting or placed outside the grow
tent and the air will be forced out of
it next they also sent me their 4x4 Gro
temp
pretty standard wrote in here it has
multiple ventilation ports and intake
vents fabric does go over the zipper to
help prevent light leaks and there is a
piece of velcro to stick the grow tent
door to in order to keep it open I did a
light leak test on it and it did come
back with no leaks which is great I will
leave a link to both the grow tent and
cover and filter in the description
section below and there's also a coupon
code for 20% off so the 20% off is
actually good for the grow tent the 6
inch carpet filter and there's even a
4-inch carbon filter as well so we ended
the last episode halfway through the
germination process I just dropped the
seeds into water since then I
transferred the seeds into wet paper
towels and four out of the five seeds
cracked open to show their tap roots
unfortunately kilimanjaro by worldís
seeds genex did not germinate I actually
had a second seat at Kilimanjaro I put
through the germination process but got
the same exact result it didn't
germinate this is a little surprising to
me having 2 seeds of the same straight
not germinate back-to-back I even tried
the Jorge savant days roughing up the
outside of the seed method in order to
try to help crack it open but no luck so
Kilimanjaro will not be grown in this
round unfortunately and I'm undecided on
what other strain I want to grow I have
a few seeds of Larry og and super sweet
tooth leftover so which of those strains
would you rather see me grow
me know in the comments section below
this round I'm growing one plane and Fox
for emotion forests oil on the other
plants are in a mix of coca-cola and
perlite you can grow in just cocoa core
but I like to add perlite in it as well
to help with water retention and
drainage it also provides proper
aeration which is necessary for healthy
root growth and plants after mixing I
cut holes in the bottom of the plastic
cups for drainage I like take a lot of
holes in the bottom to ensure there is
enough drainage and I'm also trying out
the best practice I learn from watching
mr. Mar do brews YouTube channels so
channel shout out will go to him for
this week he actually takes a lighter
and burns holes in the bottom of the cup
for eight inch this technique is
actually faster than cutting the holes
and it's probably more effective since
there are actual holes instead of slices
in the cup but credit does go to mr. Mar
doober
I will leave a link to his channel in
the description section below go there
leave a comment on one of his videos and
let him know that mr. grote sent you
when putting the growing medium in two
cups I don't fill it to the top I like
to leave an inch or so just in case the
seedling stretches so if the seedling
stretches and need support adding a more
growing medium to the top will help
stabilize after I plant the seed I like
to spray the top of the medium and then
place a bag over the top of the cup I
even spray inside the bag this is gonna
help keep the humidity up and what this
method my seeds typically sprout within
24 hours once they sprout I take the bag
off by keep the humidity high for the
first few weeks after sprout since I'm
growing in coco coir and coco coir is
not pre-charge of nutrients the plants
should be fed nutrients pretty soon
after sprout like I mentioned the last
video bloom yellow bottles are
sponsoring this grow and I'm using their
nutrients this time around week one
feeding consists of seaweed roots sea
minerals hum it and grow a and B mixing
nutrients isn't too time-consuming of a
process once you get the hang of it blue
yellow burrows is an organic line and is
highly concentrated some of the doses
are less than a milliliter so yeah very
concentrated I'll probably have these
bottles for several grows as you can see
here I'm using a syringe to measure dose
this is much easier and then pouring the
nutrients into a measuring glass I'm
also using blue plain and nutrients this
time for the other plants and went by
their feeding schedule although their
doses seem kind of high especially since
I'm not supplementing with co2 so I just
went with the half dose this time around
the plants are under the unit farm UFO
80 LED grow light with only the veg
switch on it's pulling about 87 watts
from the wall I have the light distance
at 24 inches away which is a light
manufacturers recommendation so one of
the plans is actually a little deformed
check this one out this is snake venom
by Moxie seeds I've never seen this
happening before and I'm not too sure
why it happened this is the only one
that's growing at Fox from OSHA for a
soil and my guess would be that it's a
little choked up at the roots I like to
soak the soil prior to planting the seed
and I'm thinking the roots may have had
trouble breathing
since the soil was so saturated this is
one of the cups that had slices for
drainage holes in them so maybe it ain't
kind enough of them but the good news is
that's recovering so we'll see how this
one turns out let's talk about the plate
in the back why is this in a large grill
pot while the others are in plastic cups
if you guess because it's an auto flower
you are correct this strain is car
malicious and it's an auto flower plant
I'm not gonna get into a ton of details
about Auto flowers but note that these
plants will automatically flower around
eight-30 without the light cycle
changing so due to this many growers
will plant Auto flower seeds directly
into the container will be in for its
entire life this is done to avoid
transplant shock which is a stunt and
growth that happens sometimes after
transplanting this auto flower will
remain in this 3x3 grow tent on an 18-6
light cycle throughout the entire grill
that's pretty much it for this video
guys if you enjoyed it please click that
thumbs up button if you're new to
growing cannabis I wrote a book called 7
steps to grow cannabis which will give
you all the information you need to get
you through your first few grows I will
provide a link to the book in the
description section below or you can get
to it by going to my website mr. grow
calm and I will leave it at that thank
you so much for watching and until next
time peace
