Soooo i've been checking out other people's threads for awhile now and finally decided to get my shit together and fire up my own one.
The room im with is roughly 12'x24' with 9 Lumatek 600's providing light for the ladies, for hoods i got 6 XXL magnums and 3 random mismatched ones that ive had forever.
As far as nutrients i mix and match quite a bit, My staples are Alg-A-Mic, Roots Organics Trinity, Rainbow mix Grow and Bloom and liquid Budswel
This run i have implemented some new stuff into my line up and have been using it very sparingly, the new additions are Pro tek (the one and only thing besides clonex that touches my babies that isn't organic, i really struggled with myself about using this stuff but when i got rid of the bulky 4x8's and the trellis system i had with em i realized i needed something to aid in support to save myself endless hours of staking, i gotta say so far i've been very pleased with this stuff. In addition i've been using Pura Vida grow, stuff slams my PH through the floor and i've been using a little bit to go a long way.
For soil i mix up a blend of Roots organics soil, chunky perlite, worm casting, seaweed extract, and a bit of Rainbow mix grow
To keep my soil and plants happy i constantly hit them with home brewed actively aerated compost tea and they love every application!
trying to think what else..... got 4 6'' inlines keeping the lights cool with another 6'' inline with hepa filter for intake and a 10'' max fan pulling out through a phresh filter, got a 12,000 BTU AC helping to keep the room nice and cool as well
Temps range from 62-77 depending on weather but normally hang out in the 68-72 range which i love, humidity stays around 55% and i got 4 oscillating fans up top moving air around and 3 at ground level pushing air through the pruned up bottoms of the plants
Speaking of prunning, i am a huge fan of prunning/topping/femming/pinching and all that good stuff, I top my plants when there about 9-12 inches tall and continue to bend and prune from there on, I am a huge fan of the "kush bush" style of plants and try and keep all my plants stout and bushy with many tops. I always strive for an even canopy with the bottoms of the plants cleaned up nicely for no "B" buds in the finished product
As far as genetics go, Im running Purple Trainwreck (erkle x wreck) that i got from the good folks up at good karma growers in Clear lake, Absolutely love this strain! Yields hard, turns black with the right temps and has a strong enough smell to slap you in the face when you crack open a turkey bag haha, Besides that i'm running a killer Pheno of Blackberry kush that i got up in Sonoma, A local only cut of Chem berry (chem x blueberry) that i managed to severely piss off by tormenting her with multiple moves and transitions from 600's to fluorescents, And 1 lone GDP runt clone that i threw in late to smoke on, in total i got around 50 Purp wreck in 5 gals, 7-8 BBK's in 5 gals, 15 BBK's in 3 gal smarties, 2 chem berry's in 7 gal smarties and 1 gdp in a 5 gal
I think that pretty much covers it for right now, Im getting a new camera tomorrow so i will take lots of pics and figure out how to post them very very soon........
ohhh and Input is defiantly appreciated so feel free.........
