EDIT:- The title is not so accurate after all, its less space, being 2.5 by 1.8 meters, not 3x2, its one plant less @14 plants, but it now has more watts of imitation sunshine for them to bask in now I`ve added a 400 watt to the 3 existing 600`s, bringing it upto 2200watts, making 45.8 watts per sq ft, just a little short of the aimed for 50watts per sq ft.
Here we go then. Any of you who`ve followed my previous thread http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=138214 , you`ll know I`ve been having problems with this strain. Hopefully that`s all behind me though, at least it will once I`ve chopped my current lot down and get this sgrog on the go.
I have another 2 plant sgrog just in the training stage, the screen will be fitted in the next couple of days. I expect this little grow to give me early indications of any problems ahead of me with this larger sgrog I`m planning. All is looking beautiful there though and tey look a picture of good health.
I`m starting this grow diary right at the beginning. The space is going to be occupied for the next 10 days or so as my present crop finishes.
The cuttings for clones were taken on the 19th of Oct from a friend`s lovely looking Cheese plants just before they were switched to 12/12, and placed into jiffy pucks pre soaked with Rhizotonic and superthrive, after the stems were dipped in Clonex. So they`ve been in the propergator box for 10 days now and I expect roots to start showing within the next 4 days.
I`ve had problems with this strain whilst getting them going. Parts start to turn yellow whilst the rest of the cutting seem perfectly healthy. I`ve included a close up pic of one of the cuttings showing the first signs of it, just in one blade of the very top leaf, and I expect it to worsen as they root up, and then will take a little recovery time once potted up. Any ideas what this might be down to?
Perhaps the strain has a little weakness, but if so, I`m not sure what weakness that may be. I dont know if its connected to other more serious problems I`ve had when these plants are bigger, but I know they can produce over a gram a watt as my friend achieves it.
The propergator box is sitting under a 250watt envirolight and temperature in the cloning cupboard is around 80-86f.
I`ll be setting this sgrog up with 3 602nft trays, 5 plants pre tray with a 2x3meter netted frame over the whole grow. This will only give me about a 2 feet border around the room, except for a 1meter section at the back where a chimney breast lies. this along with 2 channels between the trays underneath the canopy, should give me enough room to tend to all gardening duties.
I`ll be nipping out the tops and giving these girls some serious bondage to train them to spread themselves out. I`ll add photo`s at every stage of plant and room development.
I`ll have a 600 watt sodium over each tray, and hopefully going to borrow some light movers from a mate to keep the spread of light as even as possible. At the moment I have my lights hanging from poles suspended above the tanks and manually move the lights from one end of the pole to the other once a day, not ideal but it works ok.
I`ll go through my extraction and other details in a later post.
Any questions/comments, please feel free.
