Seed- Fem. Critical Jack Soil- Coco Loco and Kind soil Water- Tap water, 36ppm@8.7pH, ran through a britta filter to 24ppm@6.4pH Light- Start under 2x23W CFL@6500k, will move later to a Kingbrite 240W QB Temps- In a basement, swings between 63 and 78. I've got a heat pad to keep the root zone warm enough during nighttime lows. Humidity- Again, basement, so ambient swings from 55%-70% when it rains Pot- I'll be finishing in a 10gal fabric smart pot Nutes- Kind soil advertises as water only from seed through harvest. I'll be finishing in a 10gal pot with 10lbs of Kind soil under Coco Loco. The plan is to SCROG her in a 2x2 plywood grow box. I'll be following the instructions from Kind soil site as closely as possible, so this will serve as my review of their product. Planted the seed today directly into soil. 2 solo cups under a diy plastic container humidity dome. I'll post some pics once she breaks ground.
I'm unsure, but i think that the best way to do it with kindsoil is to put like coco coir or root plugs / soilless medium for the starter seed, seedling and young cannabis plants don't need a lot of nutes for at least the first 2 weeks of life, and it can be easy to burn them. Keep us posted on how it turns out!
She just popped out this afternoon after 4 days germinating in soil. 20200523_144021 by BobbHimself posted May 23, 2020 at 2:43 PM
I'm worried about the Coco Loco being too hot for the little girl. If I start seeing issues, that's going to be my first suspect, and if this grow fails, it'll be the first thing I change. This grow is for testing Kind's claims vs my results, so starting in the recommended base medium of Coco Loco follows their guidelines.
Day 34 Topped her once about 2 weeks ago, and transplanted her into her final 10gal smart pot 1 week ago, and she never slowed down from the transplant.

Day 42. Shes getting up into the net, so I've started tucking her under. There are a few brown spots on one of the leaves, but i got some water on the leaf a few days back I forgot to wipe off, so I think it's just a bit of burn from that. 20200703_112413 by BobbHimself posted Jul 3, 2020 at 11:30 AM 20200703_112442 by BobbHimself posted Jul 3, 2020 at 11:30 AM 20200703_112513 by BobbHimself posted Jul 3, 2020 at 11:30 AM 20200703_112609 by BobbHimself posted Jul 3, 2020 at 11:30 AM
I've missed a few updates, but here she is at day 33 of flower. 20200814_111918 by BobbHimself posted Aug 14, 2020 at 11:35 AM 20200814_111953 by BobbHimself posted Aug 14, 2020 at 11:35 AM 20200814_112009 by BobbHimself posted Aug 14, 2020 at 11:35 AM
