Hello and welcome,
First off i would like to give a big shout out to Dutch Passion Tony for sending me these test seeds free of charge.
Il be starting this seedling under one of Grow Northern's HS1 LED with three extra units to be added later.
The seedling, after propagation will be transplanted into the 55 Litre Alien Pro Single Bucket system.
To avoid any root diseases and to add an organic super boost to the regime, a Beneficial Tea will be brewed weekly using ingredients from The Nutrient Company.

Strain Information :

Think Big

New variety! Available from 1st January 2016!

Think Big® is a new high performance AutoFem based on the legendary Think Different genetics. Think Big® was created after a small number of special XXL Think Different plants were selected from hundreds of plants grown from seed and used as the genetic basis for Think Big®.

Think Big® can grow taller (1.5m+) and bigger than Think Different AutoFem and takes a couple of weeks longer to finish. The two to three extra weeks that Think Big® needs to finish are responsible for the amazing big yields she offers when treated with love. Resin coverage is often sensational, the cannabis is strong and numbing with a soaring sativa high. The taste has hints of citrus, lemon and incense. Harvest time is typically 13-14 weeks after germination and yields both indoors and outdoors have XXL potential. Exceptional autoflowering genetics have just been pushed to the next level!

Hi Arthur Mix

Thank you for commenting and for your advice on the units.

Yes i have a good bit of experience when it comes to growing autoflowers and using GN HS1.

Im afraid to say but with the size of the plants that are usually grown in the 55L set up, four units are really needed if not more.

Anyway i hope to check out some of your diarys when i get the chance, thank you again.

Good luck with it all man, should be a good un. If you use liquid oxygen won't that negate the beneficials?

It most certainly will, :yes:

I'm in dwc and that's a huge list of additives and nutrients, makes mine look positively scrooge-like, :rofl:

sensi advanced ph perfect a+b veg and flower (if its the same as mine, no ph kit needed... :g:).., Buddhas Tree, oxyplus, never far away from 1gpw.

Hi tom68

Thanks man. Yes you are right h202 or liquid oxygen will negate the beneficials. I only use it to clean out the DWC bucket or to clean any equipment. I never run that stuff in the bucket.

It most certainly will, :yes:

The Beginning

The Think Big Seed packet was left out for a few hours to make sure the seeds were at the Environment temperature before the plunge.

FL8eGm1l

Now its time for inspection to make sure each seed is healthy.
I have chosen two seeds just encase something goes wrong so I have one for back up.

tNpaV4Wl

After carefully selecting two of the best seeds it was then time to drop them into a glass of temperate water.

Nutrient Solution:

  • PH: 6.6
  • EC: 0.3 ( Back-round EC)
  • Temp: 19 C

Soaking & Sowing

To start things off the root riot cubes were soaked in a solution of bubbled temperate water and Canna's Rhizotonic.
The cubes soaked for 12 hours with a low EC and PH'd correctly.

sX7Ij9Gs

The two root riot cubes were then gently squeezed to rid them of excess water and placed into a rooting tray.
The rooting tray was then placed inside the bottom of the propagator awaiting the seed.

E8yKHKus

Both seeds dropped and sank to the bottom of the glass in less than 12 hours after being soaked.

qxAjhaBs

The seeds were carefully removed from the water and let to be aired for a few minutes.

41opCyZs

After a few minutes the seeds were then ready to be placed into the root it cubes.
Using a tweezers the seeds were carefully placed into the holes in the cubes.

vSKn8pks

To cover the seed and to allow it to germinate in full darkness. The corner of the root it cube were simply torn off and used to cover the hole.

uzeEG9xs

The lid was then placed on the propagator and set to the correct Environmental temperature and conditions.

wcXEJ9gs

Nutrient Solution:

  • PH: 5.8
  • EC: 0.3 ( Back-round EC)
  • Temp: 19-20 C

Environment:


  • Lights On: 24-25 C
  • Lights OFF: 20-21 C
