Hey everyone, I just moved this journal from the soil section. I did not realize all these nice sub-forums. Real nice touch I think. Anyways here's what I have in the works:
I am constantly looking how to do more with less. That being said I am using two mothers, one Pineapple Express and one Gigabud. I am maintaining these mothers using the banzai method. I feel I have them in to large of containers, I want to cut the size of the container in half and increase the amount of mothers by two. I think having four moms will generate more cuttings weekly oppose to two moms in larger containers.
I root in rapid rooters using cloneX and straight tap. I firmly believe the chlorine within the tap kills bacteria that small rootless cutting are vulnerable too. Once the cuttings throughly root a rapid rooter I snip the tap roots to promote feeder root growth and put them into individual seedling starters or solo cups. I throughly root in small containers during veg (which ranges 2-4 weeks) to keep the plants small but also to root bound the plant so when they go into the 6inch pots for flower, they virtually explode with growth and bud development. I feed with RO/DI h20, fulvic and humic acids, Humbodlt County MyCo Madness, molasses to feed everyone and some General Hydroponics Flora Grow (600ppm). I use a LED light source for veg.
For flower I utilize a 600w HPS cooltube. Right now everything is hand watered but soon I want to transform everything into top drip NFT. It will be a while before that happens because I have to gather materials. Mainly, I have three different feedings for the plants in flower. Weeks one through six are three different feeds and the seventh is a flush so essentially I would need 4 different resv. and 4 different NFT trays and more space (maybe).
I use RO/DI h20, Pura Vida organic bloom,Cal-Mag as my base for weeks one through six. Weeks 1-2 I use: Bloom base and Fox Farms open sesame(750ppm). Weeks 3-4: Bloom base, FF beastie bloomz, Humboldy County Snow Storm Ultra and Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy(1000ppm). Weeks 4-6: Bloom base, AN Overdrive and Bud Candy(1100ppm). Week 7 is pure RO/DI (hopefully 0ppm)
I have not harvested yet but when I do it will be every 7 days. I add plants into flower at a rate of three to six clones depending on the supply of clones I have vegging in the cab at the time. I diligently plan on 28g per plant. It is no doubt possible but it will take a few rounds to get everything dialed in. Wish me luck and thanks for watching!
