Northern Lights #5 x Haze / Sensi / 2 x 600w HEROIC SCROG

Well....

Lets see...it develops well, so I think I should share it also with the international community, not only my buddies in the national section ;) Plan is to scrog all 5 sides of the tent. If things go wild (which I doubt), I may even scrog the top by removing the reflectors. But we may see that perhaps in a grow in the far future, just for fun and bud-porn in chamber mode ;)

Let's proceed with the current 5x5 side grow and leave that dream for another day ;)

Logistics:

Germinated: 5 NL5xHaze feminized Sensi Seeds
4x4 tent Homebox
500m3 extractor
125m3 intake
12 fans
Dehumidifier with 1500mL tank (i hit even 80% without it)
600 watt MH for the first 7 weeks of Vegetation
1200 watt (2x600) MH for the 8th week of Veg
1200 Watt HPS Son T+ (2x600) for flowering.
Blue Labs PH and EC meter
System: Wilma 8-pot 11 liter (although 5 only are used)
Substrate: Canna Coco Professional plus mixed with 20% FAT perlite and 10% Vitalink Coco Coir. However, to increase drainage and prevent mould on top of the pots or bad insects, increasing aeration etc, I have used about 3 cm in the bottom of the pot and the top EXCLUSIVELY Vitalink Coco Coir (you know the fat things you'll see in the pics later on)

Environment: Trying to keep 27 Celsius when both lamps on, and around 22 when lamps off. As winter goes deeper, temps will fall respectively, but not in dangerous levels. Due to high RH I use the dehumidifer.
Water Tank Temperature: I try to keep it between 17 and 19 Celsius grades.

Nutrients:

Flora Micro, Gro, Bloom (Flora Series)
Diamond Nectar
Hesi SuperVit (used after the 5th week of vegetation to increase metabolism)
Mineral Magic (used during 2nd week of flowering and so on)
Bloombastic (planned to be used during 4th-5th week of flowering and so on, depending on bud development)
Ripen (to be used in the end before the flush)
FloraKleen (to be used the first 3 days of the final flush)
GHE PH-
Canna PH+



Schedule:

Light: 6 weeks 24/0, 2 weeks 18/6 and then 12/12.

Veg 8 weeks using low nutrient until week 5. EC at 1,2 and PH 5.7-6.0 sharp counting. Watering 1 time every other day for 15 minutes. In week 6 and afterwards, everyday water 15 minutes. They drink approximately 4-5 liters each. As they drink more and pots gradually dry faster, I will increase the watering frequency.

Flowering I think may last about 13 weeks including the flushes. Now we are in the middle of flowering week 2, so we got 'bout 11 to go ! HAPPY NEW YEAR! In flowering I play with nutrient 1,8 EC letting it up to 2,5. That is by daily waterings of 15 minutes and they take it. They love eating, I like to play and "train them" but on the safe side. I saw them get a little worried, I cut it back to 1.7 today and I will flirt around 1.5 and "pinching it" to 2.0 when I want to give them "relevant signals". I just wanted to spam stretch a little, which i did :D
Due to the fact that I will be using all these bloom + silicate additives, I will make use of FloraKleen just a little bit in the end. I am totally against its frequent use throughout the veg and flowering period, but I will do it because I will just fkin SPAM THEM with all that stuff. On the safe way, but still, you understand. SO there will be a FloraKleen 3 day flush , then 2 days PH'd water of maybe 6 times a day and then 3 days tap water at same intervals, then 4 days no water gg. So I guess I might be over by the end of January if all goes according to plan. Let's hope to have a good time around till chop day , cuz it's long :woohoo:
