Hi everyone. Time for grow #2. I've taken 6 weeks too long to get back up. So that goes into the lessons learned before i even start again!
This time around I have opted to change my layout and go from a long room with 40-45 girls in a stadium setting to a Colosseum layout - same amount of plants, except this time instead of the bulbs side by side making a longer space, i am stacking the bulbs vertical to create the Colosseum space and to give more lights to the plants in a smaller area with less waste of the precious photons in the grow area.
The Medium
- Fox Farms Ocean Forest
- Fox Farms Planting Mix
- Fox Farms Seed Starter
- Perlite
- Earth Worm Jim poopies
- Blood Meal
- Steamed Bone Meal
- Greensand
- Kelp Meal
- Indonesian Bat Guano
- Epsons
** (no need for lime)
*** 3 Gallon Smartpots
I mix it as per the usual instructions.
- Using less Earth Worm Jims and Guano. My seed strains are hybrid and so far only strong indica dominants like the mix with the extra worm poop + castings + FF Planting mix, which runs hot for some sativa's. It does not kill them or even harm early growth, but cosmetically it is unappealing when i seek visual harmony as part of their botanical health.
The Feminized Strains (Give a warm applause and welcome to our wonderful Fromage team and special guest from Amsterdam):
- Cheesus (10) Big Buddha
- Blue Cheese (5) Big Buddha
- Chunky Cheese (10) Sagamatha
- Cheese Wreck (5) Sagarmatha
- Love Cheese (5) Royal Dutch Genetics
- Northern Lights (10) Nirvana
I am working on my room. I had to install an A/C unit which seems to be able to hold up thus far keeping the room to 73F with good circulation. Plants in the space blocking air movement will increase this temp I expect so I will try to add extra fans.
Pics coming soon.
Thank you for reading and maybe subscribing as well.
I dedicate this grow to all you teachers and great advice givers for helping all us noobs do what we need to do to survive and/or just have a more mellow life. I took on board all i was told last grow and it paid off. And I hope with what I have learned I can do even better as I know the potential is there.
