Hey brothers - thanks for taking a peek into my world! Been pretty slow getting around to this project.. harvested shy of 5 elbows last spring in my old house under 2400-5600w, and i am looking to beat that at my new house!
I guess thats a good place to start.. the new house. it was time to stop messing around with rentals & security .. or lack there of .. so after last harvest i started looking around and finally found something that really suited me. I am working out of a 40'x30' basement, unfinished when i bought her. Plans bounced around a whole mess, but we finally settled on a couple room setup. A 6'x7' Veg room, two 10'x10' Flower rooms, and a 5'x20' hallway for working space and irrigation storage.
Alrighty - now we made some pretty good progress, all thats left is fixing a wall my jackass friend fucked up, and putting in the header & door. As far as framing goes, that'll wrap it up. Still more work to do tho; for electric we are running 30amp 240v dedicated circuit for each flower room and the veg room is getting a 20amp 120v dedicated circuit. This will be more than enough to safely run 2k in each flower room, 1k in veg, and still allow amps for future lighting additions.
Once the electric is all wrapped up we will be hanging drywall on the accessible basement side of the framing, and panda poly on the "farm" side of the framing. In the future we plan to tile the rooms & add floor drainage - this way each room can be fully sprayed down and drenched after each round.. should be getting to this project by spring time, possibly sooner.
In the mean time we are using a repurposed bunk bed as a veg cabinet.. lord does it work well! We will be moving her down to the basement in a couple weeks, she is going to be our seedling & clone box. We have a couple LED racks that will be put to use in there, right now we have just been using some 4ft shoplights we had on site with plant bulbs.
stretching too much!
week 1
week 1.5
Lets See.. So strains we are running this time are as follows: Honey White bx2 (Highend x The White), Pre98 Bubba Kush x Northern Lights#5/haze, Apollo11 x F13, Northern Lights#2 x Skunk#1, Skunk#1, Blue Cheese, G13 x Chem4, Skywalker OG. SHOULD be getting our cuttings soon as well, ahem ahem.. ;-) they will be Sour Diesel IBL, OG Kush f2, Skunk f2, Northern Dream IBL. I've also got some Chem4 coming from a buddy who's been working it for a couple years now, so i am excited to see what his beans produce!
Not pictured above is the Blue Cheese, G13 x Chem4, Honey White, and Skywalker OG.. they are all currently germinating or about to be germinated! Had some issues getting the Honey Whites to germ & then sprout.. and then stay alive ;-/ .. The 3 Honey Whites that did sprout for me were quickly crushed by a falling humidity dome .. derrr stupid garden tech! So we busted out the remaining 8 Honey White beans in the archive and we are giving it another shot!
Our soil was mixed about 2 weeks ago, so it will have a nice sexy 3-4 week activation on it before we transplant into it! very excited about that! in our mix we are using: Pro-Mix, Roots Organic 707, Perlite, Vermiculite, kelp, bone & blood meal, and some lime.. will be top dressing EWC most likely, or using it in a ACT. As far as nutrients go.. last crop i ended up piecing a bunch of different organic products together, consisting of Budswel, Nirvana, molasses, and Mother Earth tea - i had decent results i would say, but after seeing a buddys results using Roots Organic nutrient line i decided i had to give them a try. So i will be using the whole Roots Organic nutrient line and following their feeding schedule, im expecting some great results.
Well thats about all for now! This should be a real interesting thread, and hopefully will be full of useful information with contributions from all! A lot will be going on in the coming weeks as we finish up the work on the basement, wire the electric, and hang the HVAC.. jeez i forgot to talk about that, later i guess! Tons of great genetics running this time, so put on your safari hats cus we are going pheno hunting!
Going to be looking for some mothers, so it will be an interesting and in depth project to come.
I'll post the next update on sunday after i get some more god dang ol' work done! Safe Smoking
