Hi everyone :

This is my first mom selection so im gona try to make this journal as detailed as possible.

1st step ... Order your MNSs of course =). Its been too hard t choose but finaly they will be Ortega (NL1xNL5)

2-. Materials , while seeds arrive is time to get grow-room ready ... this is what i will use for grow room :

- Main grow-room 1.20x1.20m , we will need to add a smaller one in couple months ^^
- Extraction : Rvk 125 will do the work, Intraction : a fan will do for now, will update soon.
- Light : Starting with 250w high pressure sodium kit, will go 600w for flowering.

3-. Other stuff needed :

- Pots ... Im using 11x11cm, 15x15cm and 20x20cm pots, about 25 each type.
- Soil , get 50l. to get started but we ll need more.
- Propagator, im using a plastic box made to store shoes.
- Jiffys ... We r gona need many of these.
- Clay pebbles, for draining.
- Ph meter , we dont wanna waste all the money we r gonna spend on food,
-

4.- Nutrients and products, i am going with advanced nutrients mix of different products, i ll try to keep informing on this journal what they eat at least twice per week. The stuff being used here will be : (Maybe there is some change later but this is the starting plan )

- Base nutrient : Grow / Micro / Bloom.
- For growing : Piranha , enngy's fulvic acid and sensizym.
- For flowering : bloom enhancers : Big bud, carbo load and bloom booster pro as PK.
- For cloning : Clonex and root juice.


5.- Ok, now we got all we need. Just wait for the mail box to come.

Ok they r here =) 18 regular ortega seeds plus 5 extra big bug regular seeds. Lets get started :

- Germinating : I put them on a plate between 2 wet paper towels, paper must keep wet till they open and we move them. Dont let this get dry! Leave them in dark place and keep checking.

- Once they open next step is move them into jiffys, very carefuly, remember : the side they open by will be the roots of the plant, so face it to the bottom of the jiffy, 1cm deep should be ok.

- And now ... Jiffys inside propagator and propagator inside grow-room. Im using 250w Growing light, 18 hours light cycle.

- Time to wait till them to pop up =]

Hi I.L.

I use different nutes than you (Pure Blend Pro), but I start feeding light nutes a week into veg. Seems to speed up the process.
EDIT: I just noticed you are using soil and I use hydro which does not use the same nute regimen.

Hi and thanks all =)

Start having problems!! my 250w ballast burned!! Poor Ortegas been some hours with a normal light!! :mad: . Now they are going with a 150w compact fluorescent lamp as emergency, have already ordered a new ballast, should be here tomorrow.

This are them on their 6th day of life.

Good smoke, have fun =]
