I got rid of my old seedlings that got attacked by gnat larva and started fresh seeds, a new strain as well. This is another new cannabis plant lineage to me, so it should be a new experience growing a new kind of plant. So far it is going well, I will start feeding them nutrients along with the water treated for gnats. I have been soaking a product called “mosquito bits” in water which kills gnat larva and mosquitoes. Not that I have a problem with misquotes. I do want to keep the gnat problem under control. Since starting these seeds I have seen zero gnat activity, but will still only feed them and water them with treated with BTI inside.
 Strain: | Appalachia |
|---|---|
 Dominance: | Indica dominant hybrid |
 Nutrients used: | Great White mycorrhizae / Foxfarm grow big / Foxfarm Big bloom / Misc supplements for soil bacteria and mycorrhizae |
 Lineage: | Green Crack and Tres Dawg |
 Current growing stage: | Seedling |
 Current plant age: | 12 days old |
 Sex: | Normal |
 Location: | Central Virginia |
I once again inoculated the seeds with mycorrhizae and other beneficial bacteria to help out with the plants growth. We shall see long term compared to my other grows how well these do using the new product on them.
The seeds came up a week or so ago and now they have their leaves forming. Big fan leaves on the way, so I am excited about this plant.
I put the seeds in sphagnum peat moss and then that handful is added to the center of the grow pots.
We can see the seed pods, post came off on their own.. one needed help.
It will break down into the soil and disappear soon enough.
Hopefully these put on some good growth soon, I hope by one month in we see a big difference.
No idea if these will go purple, I have not grown this strain yet. But hopefully it will.
We can see the peat moss around the seedling, and then the more course soil beyond that. Hopefully that will help out the seedling get big and strong fast.
Still running the humidifiers, I have a fan blowing on it to break up the fog.
Got the new fan installed, hoping it works better now I keep it clear of the humidifier fog.
I find it really important to have these humidifiers, helps out young plants a lot before they have a chance to form roots.
Once a day I refill these, eventually I can turn down the amount of humidity they produce. But for now the seedlings need lots of it.
Sometimes I see the fog coming out of the zippers.. lol I need to adjust the nozzles a little.
All of the humidifiers are controlled by a humidistat.
Everything runs on a timer besides the fan inside. Growing them on a adjustable HID ballast. Right now its set to 600w but I will turn up the light wattage in about a month to bring it over 1000w.
Lastly I have a hygrometer on the front of the tent that gives me the temperature, humidity and the VPD. The last value is new to me, but it helps to figure out the proper temp/RH in the tent using that value.
So from here I will keep feeding the fungi in the soil, and start feeding the seedlings nutrients for them as well.
I do love those new little plants when they pop up and start growing that second layer of leaves. Funny to think that could one day be featured on #themorningbowl.
What I really love is that growing system with the controls, humidity, airflow and next level soil /bacteria management practice. Should make some fat buds a few months down the line!
It sure is a good feeling when you see the growth day to day. Hopefully they will just start growing even faster at this point.
Ah thank you, doing my best to have a complete system to help out the plants.
Kinda looks like @summertooth with that hat..
😄😄😄
thanks
Oh you discarded the former? It was better since it was not doing so well, but this one looks very healthy.
I wish you luck.
Yeah I saw no point in keeping them, they just kept getting more yellow and yellow.
thanks.. hopefully the new ones will do better.
It was a good idea discarding the previous one that were infected. I wish this new breed give you good outcome
Ah thanks, hopefully these next ones will do good.
I like that fog humidity system.. snazzy.. plants look good.
Hah yeah man, its quite the setup.
thanks.. I think so too.
Wow this plant look fresh. I love it
It sure does
Good work, you always got a good idea, i wish you good luck
Ah thank you
Waooo!!! Que tecnológico sistema de posturas en siembra 👏😉, me imagino las plantas nacen con una salud muy buena @solominer!! Espero poder algún día tener productos en mi país para hacer algunos trabajos internos a ver qué tal me va, gracias por compartir siempre amigo 😊
Yep it is quite a lot of equipment, but I think it helps them out a lot.
Hope you can grow one day too.. when you do share a post with us on canna-curate.
Boy 😁😁😁😁 in my country it is forbidden 🚫 both planting it, how to consume it jjj if I do it I go to jail, prison..That kind of plant canna I can't have, I wish I could plant it so I could get good money in Cuba 🇨🇺 😉
The plants look very healthy, I hope they continue to grow strong 👍🏻
They are coming along quite nicely.. thank you me too.
This plant seems really very interesting, yes, I have never seen it in person but I really really want to see it because there is a lot of controversy about this plant when it is seen. my place
Yeah they are pretty interesting.. Ah yes it was just legalized here in the last few years in the state I live in. Hopefully they will do the same where you live one day.
Wow... Finally I can see that they have grown, they have taken out four leaves, of course this is a significant growth in my opinion, I am happy to see them starting to appear, if you plant from now on how many months will the harvest period take my friend?
You have quite a lot of tools to measure soil moisture, lighting and tools to prevent fog, which is amazing in my opinion.
Much appreciated, around three to four months from now.
It sure is amazing, great to have such technology.
Wish you more success 😀😀
ah thank you

The seedling looks healthy. I never seen that kind of plant in person.
Ah they are pretty cool.. have an interesting smell to them.
I hope the gnat have been finally put at bay and they don't return to cause havoc anymore. Better yield this time. Cheers!!!
Yes, glad to be over those pests.. they can be quite the problem sometimes.
Hopefully I will.. :-)
These ones are doing very well, they look very healthy.
