Hey IC. This thread is about the grow(s) I'm doing and will be doing in the new growcab I built. Its roughly 4.6'L X 3.8'W X 8'H.
Built with 2x2's, earthquake safe .
I built it to run a 600wHPS on the bottom (50" ceiling)
with a veg/mom/clone chamber on the top left and dry chamber on top right.
I also started searching out new moms from some a new genetic pool. Germed:
(3) Bog - Sour Bubble
(2) DJ- Blueberry
I got 5 females. Flowered them out and kept two Sour Bubbles and one Blueberry as mothers (seen below) and have since cloned them twice. The first set is ~28 days into 12/12 after ~five week veg, the second set of clones have been vegging for ~10-11 days so far. I was a little late getting them cloned. The first set vegged a little longer then I wanted due to old bulbs, but they got replaced half way through and are being used entirely for the second clone set.
Blueberry #2- Only way to describe the smell is volatile grape blueberry skittles
Some of the cured up Blueberry #2 ~ month
Sour Bubble #3- Smells like a hashy lime.
Some of the semi dry/almost ready to cure Sour Bubble#3-
I actually cant find the pictures of the finished Sour Bubble #1 but I have some flowering right now.
So I'm building another cab for clone set #2 that is currently vegging. Clone set three, which will be cut in ten days, will be vegged/flowered where clone set #1 (currently flowering) is. Veg time I'm thinking will be about 25 days. Anyways, here are some pictures of what is currently flowering/vegging.
First up is clone set #1 which consists of:
(3) SB #3
(4) SB #1
(5) Bb #2
Rooted in 1.5" rockwool cubes soaked in tap water adjusted to 5.5pH (lemon juice)
Planted in 3/4gal pots, then to 3gal to finish.
I use a base mix similar to LC #1 and feed with guano/EWC/kelp
Rooting-
The two up front: Left is Sour Bubble #1 (SB1), Right is Blueberry #2 (Bb2), and Sour Bubble #3 (SB3) are lining the right. You can tell those apart by their huge leaves over crowding the other clones. I dont clip my leaves..
SB3 roots like crazy, in all directions. Note the root coming out the top of the cube, a first for me with a new clone.
9-21-2010 => Clone Set 1 planted
10-13-2010 => Roughly a week after transplant to 3gal. Under a total of 500w MH
10-24-2010 => Replaced old, tired bulbs with new Hortilux MH bulbs.
11-01-2010 => The last veg day. The dark cycle following this veg light cycle was extended to 12 hours to start flowing.
11-09-2010 => Seven days into 12/12
11-12-2010 => Close ups at day 10
SB3
Bb2
12-01-2010 => Start of day 29 12/12. 31 more days to go still!!
Close ups at day 29
SB3
SB1
Bb2
Here is clone set #2 which consists of:
(3) SB #3
(5) SB#1
(3) Bb#2
For these, I rooted them the same way but in the 3"x3"x4"tall blocks.
Same medium as clone set #1, and still in 3/4 gal. Going to up-pot in about two days I think. We'll see.
These were cut from the moms when the moms were rootbound and showing some deficiencies. I had to take cuts because I was already behind schedule, so I did and they look ugly but they are so much better now and will be perfect in another week. They all rooted in 10-14 days too so its all good
And yes, I uppotted the moms from 2 to 3 gal pots after a little root trim. They jumped back to lush green life of course.
11-01-2010 => Clones rooting.. Note the three Bb2 on the left, three SB3 on the right, and the SB1 in the middle.
11-28-2010 => Here they are after seven days veg. More like recovery and root building.
