Greetings fellow growers.
Well, after tinkering, tweaking and making all-out changes to my grow set-up I figured it was time to start my grow diary.
I've done A LOT of reading on this forum and have gathered oodles of info I've incorporated into my grow op. So in return for all of your contributions, I really want to start this from the beginning in hopes of creating a pretty decent guide for others to refer back to. Hopefully as I update this journal it'll generate some good feedback that will continue to help others. 'Cause you know I'm gonna f**k up sooner or later and ask for assistance
Well, here's what I've got goin on so far:
#1: This is my HTG mother keeper tent running a 4 bucket DIY Ebb&Grow set-up built from instructions I found on the DIY forum. It has a 4" inline duct fan for exhausting stale air and a 6" fan for circulation. The ambient temp hangs right around 50* so I have a baseboard heater lingering behind the buckets and have it set at 70*.
Right now I have a Strawberry Haze and a Super Lemon Skunk mum vegging out. The other 2 empty buckets had a wimpy looking 3PPP seedling and a really thin Hawaiian Snow seedling, both of which got pulled. Sorry!!
#2: Here's a pic of the 25gal res and 5gal controller filling and draining the buckets in the tent. I also have an 18w air pump pumping O2. Right now I'm flooding every 4hrs. for 15mins.
#3: This is the GHS strawberry haze mum. She's been topped and the new grow tips have been fim'd have been fim'd. I also prunned some of the leaves from the center of the plant for better light penetration. I'm basically trying to follow the rules of growing out bonsai mums.
#4: Top shot.
#5: Here's the lemon skunk that's also been topped. She's really a slow grower..
#6: Top shot LS.
#7: Here's my Homebox XS seedling/clone tent with a 175w MH. Temps range from 68-70* and humidity is 45-50.
#8: Here's a GHS great white shark seeding vegging out. This little lady is being fed with a simple mix of ThriveAlive, Maxicrop and molasses.
So the next plan of action is to:
- Veg the (3) pure power plants and the GWS in my flower tent, under CMH bulbs (500w total), and collect a few viable clones.
- Then flower them all under 400w CMH/250w HPS, single cola style.
This portion of the grow will be done in autopots filled with moonshine's mix. They will be fed a guano tea once at the beginning of flowering and again in the middle of flowering. Below is a pic of my DIY guano tea brewer.
Well there it is in a nutshell. I'm sure I've left a lot out so if anyone has any questions or comments please post 'em up. AND, don't forget to check in from time to time, as I will be updating this journal periodically.
