contest 2017 Inaugural Southern Hemisphere Growdown Throwdown Aji Amarillo

[drathag]

Mine are in the grow box thing I posted a page or 2 ago. the LEDs seems to be doing a great job!
 
They were planted straight into the medium in the cups. Its mostly coir with some perlite and a small amount of general plant food and trace elements added to give them a good start. I haven't actually needed to water them since they sprouted, but I will soon. When I do, i'll be bottom watering and hopefully that'll encourage some nice deep root growth

ahh, I skipped over that, was busy that day and forgot to go back obviously.
 
Very nice set-up I must say, do you know the lumens you've got?

 

[KAOS]

Good progress all. I can't wait to get the bad boys into some descent containers and let mamma sunshine do her thing.
 
That photo was from Friday. Here's a pic from tonight so all up to date.
 
Bring on KAOS Chaos

I think that's nervous laughter...

Great Work!
I thought that you were joking when you said v v v this v v v

Let's not forget the ever present KAOS principle also
 
Keep Amarillos On Steroids

But obviously not!

Just to keep things going.
 
Re-potted one of them into a grow bag today. This will either be spectacular or a miserable failure.

Gosh, you're keen!
 
Mine is still chugging along slowly, very slowly. Seems healthy though, so not complaining.

Hey Karoo
 
It's been a month now. Gonna get started soon ?
 

I decided to play fair and give you guys a one month head start.
 
Yes, you guessed right. I will only receive my seeds after my 2 week winter holiday!

 
 
Might be overly keen, but I have a theory I'm trying to prove. The others will pot up gradually and all end up in varying final locations. Will compare results come September just before they all go outside.

And that's in winter. Nice place.

Fantastic place.
2700 km drive there from where I stay , but worth it , it is in the Tropics , so nice and warm , swimming,  diving , fishing every day.

A few quick progress update photos...

 

[KAOS]

That's good progress in 10 days Drathag. Onto second set of proper leaves and last photo the first were just showing. They real compact as well.
 
What hours are they under lights out of interest?

 

[KAOS]

Just as a sideline update.
 
The Cito's from this post ↓↓↓ actually made it (shoutout again to THSC for bulletproof seeds). Five out of six eventually sprouted in the rockwool.

Small update. Last Amarillo popped so that's six out of six. Shout-out to THSC for great seeds.
 
On the Cito front not so good as I decided to take the seeds out of the jiffy and put into a tupperware container. Not enough water and 24hrs later all dried up. Rest in piece baby Cito's.
 
Never mind. Jiffy'ed the last six Cito's I had with a batch of Culleys Reapers this morning and we try again.
 
How's the poppage going drathag?

 
Here are two photos 4 days apart in my 20W 24hr starter box

Cheers, I'm very happy with how they're going so far. For lights I have them cycling 18 on, 6 off.

 

[KAOS]

You going to try split them out or just cull the smallest in the cups?
 
We don't get Aji's in NZ at all so might seem like a daft question but I guess I'd try save every one lol.

 

[drathag]

I'll cull. I figure it means less root disturbance. I'm planning to end up with one strong plant in each cup. Later I'll transplant one to the ground and one to a pot and see what happens!

I have started soaking at last![emoji2]

Everyone's looking good!

Don't have a pic of mine, but rolling along.

Good to see Karoo starting!

Only just realised that it was the first month into the comp the other day

All the best!
