Howdy folks! 
Oh come on, you knew I couldn't stay away long. hahahaha Can't wait to see everyone again. :friends:
I'll be running one 600 watt hps, about a 60/40 soil (Happy Frog)/coco (B Cuzz) mix. More lopsided on the coco for germination and the first week, of course. Water will be filtered through a Brita filter, oxygenated in a bucket with an air stone, and heated with a submersible aquarium heater. ph will be normal... what is it, around 7? i never memorize what can easily be looked up.
For nutes I'm keeping it super simple. Wormcastings in veg, bat guano in bloom. Molasses (1 tbsp/gal) all the way through. I'm really confident in my process at this point, and am very excited to get back in the saddle after a long move. Enjoy the show.
a pic of what i'm working with:
the corner. pretty simple. about thirty bucks worth of panda plastic, a staplegun, and a roll of foil tape (best lightproof stuff i've found...). a seven dollar stick-on zipper, and i'm ready to go with a 7 x 5' enclosure:
i like how you can see the temp in this pic - 75 degrees Farenheit:
so there's one 600 watt HPS, hortilux bulb. the white box is simply there to dampen the fan. i was thinking of building a little wood box, then i just took the styrofoam out of the cardboard box the fan came in (Sunleaves six inch high output something or other), stapled some plastic to her, cut a couple holes in each side, sealed the ducting and the end result is very functional (keeps her quiet) and very tidy in appearance. i'm just venting into the space above my plastic and the wood boards of my kitchen. works pretty well (knock on wood). for now there is no need to filter the output air, but once that is an issue I'll be building a DIY carbon filter to place on the output side of the fan. should take care of things. the room will have a lock on the door, and there is no reason for anyone to go in. water/gas meters are located elsewhere and can be read remotely.
On the way:
--------------------------------------------
1) Government Mule (Deep Chunk x G-13)
Cannacopia. Last time I ran a pack I enjoyed these results, a couple different phenos worth keeping:
Hoping to get something nice like that again. I see they raised the price on the Gov Mule so hopefully that's a good sign.
--------------------------------------------
2) Deep Chunk x Bubba Kush
As well, from Cannacopia. I've heard some lovely things about this strain, from the friend who pollinated the Viper x Trainwreck that I loved so much. Worth a run.
I'm running on minimal startup capitol, so the best value for the buck is the way for me. I would love to get a killer pheno somewhere, but really i'm just going for a decent sized harvest of good medicine I can stock up and have around for a while. We'll see how long I keep it going. I bought a clone tray, so I'm gonna at least clone the first round and follow up the first harvest with a fucking blow up one, with an additional 600 or a 1000.
we'll see. God knows the shit being sold around here is so ridiculous I can't even begin to describe it. Awful, nasty stuff being sold at $50-60 an eight. I just can't take it. As someone who uses it to combat nausea and as a pain reliever, my quality of life sucks without decent meds, and unfortunately there aren't any around even if I was a millionaire. so here we go.
