Hi everybody, I would like to share my grow with all you beautiful people.
_______________The Strain:_______________
Ultimate Strawberry Diesel (USD), from Ganesh / Fractal Genetics. This phenotype is sativa-dominant with a strong "sour strawberry skittles" aroma and taste. She finishes anywhere from 11-14 weeks, and gets frostier and more colorful the longer she goes.
This strain stretches a lot and yields very well. My last grow got ~2 lbs per 1kw light. I am looking to beat that number this time around.
________________The Garden_________________
There are two rooms. One is 4000w, the other is 2000w, for 6KW total. The rooms contain:
-six 1000w digital ballasts (lumatek & galaxy)
-six 1000w bulbs (Ushio & Hortilux)
-six 4x4 flood tables
-six 50gallon reservoirs
-six 4x4' PVC trellis for SCROG (thanks Pico!)
-six reflectors (4 Radiants, 2 Adjustawings)
...and....
- 112 USD plants
_______________The Grow_________________
The plants are in 2gal bags of Botanicare's Readygro Aeration mix, which consists of mainly of Coco and Perlite, and is amended with Kelp, Compost, EWC, and other goodies.. I had great results with this stuff on my last grow and the price is very decent.
Base nutrients are: House&Garden Aqua Flakes (11mL/gallon)
Additives are:
-Thrive Alive green (1mL/gallon)(weeks 1-4)
-House&Garden Multi-zen (2mL/gallon)(weeks 1-4)
-House&Garden Bud XL (2mL/gallon)(weeks 5-9)
Each room is exhausted by an 8-inch vortex sucking air through an open window. No carbon filters, the neighbors love us..
The plants were watered once every 48 hours during a 2 week veg cycle, then switched to watering 5x per day during flowering. The flood tables fill automatically every 3 hours during lights-on, and once during lights-off.
I spray weekly with a mixture of Einstein Oil and Takedown. (neem and pyrethrum) to prevent bugs and mildew.
(pics coming soon)
