hey all! legal smoker here, working on self sustainment with a combo of indoor closet and cab grows.
my gameplan is to have a constant rotation of fresh bomb herbs to smoke to my hearts content. right now i got some purple kush, we will see what its like when im done with this first batch. its from clone, and has grown great thus far.
i have a 90w UFO grow light, im told its a 3rd gen, it has red, blue, and white led lights and im SUPER impressed by this little light. the heat it puts off is almost nothing, and my plant loves it! bright enough to bleach the leaves! it was also a super steal off craigslist @ 50$. stoked. using it for veg only.
i also have a 400w hps with a lumatek digital ballast and lumatek coolable hood. another craigs special at 150$. will be PLENTY of light for my closet.
my closet, basic size, two sliding doors. all white paint, though i want to cover all the white with mylar.
my ventilation, i have a 5" vent hose running from the closet door to my window. i need to figure out a cheap fan for the hose/hood. i have a stand alone portable ac unit, but i dont want to run it because it will use way too much power along with the 400w. temps are around 70-75 now, perfect! may end up using static ventilation with a intake fan pressurizing the closet and exhausting through the hood and out the window. input?
my setup is a 5 gallon bucket with a pond pump ran to a drip system with 4gph drippers. i water 2x a day for 5 minutes, recurculating waste, need to filter the return lines to keep my res clean. im using canna coco slabs and plan to have 3 plants per slab. im also using the coco A+B, with rhizotonic, cannazyme, and a little epsom salt to fight off the mag def that has slowed development since the start. my water is ran through a brita filter and that knocks my ph down from 7.0-7.5 to 6.0-6.5 after my nutes are buffered it holds steady around 6.5. i change the 2.5(10L) tank weekly. and have been ramping up the nutes on her.
my clone chamber is a clear tubberware bin with humidifier runs 2x a day for 5mins. this is my first attempt at cloning and so far the cuttings look great and are supporting their own weight already at 4 days. using some rooting hormone powder in coco treated with rhizotonic, very happy with the results and cant wait to take more cuts on mommy kush.
now heres where i kinda messed up, i got my mom on one end of my coco slab ready to flower and now i got some clones rooting in the same slab in the middle and other end. i know this is setting me back, but i really wanted to get a plant in the coco slab before it got too big and at 2.5 weeks it was already a pain to transplant! so now im going to veg out my mom along with her kids and bring them to flower in 3 weeks. i took some large clones. i will continue to clone off of mom during this time also looking for more strains.
now i may pull mom out of the canna and flower her somewhere else under the 400w. idk.. opinions??
now the pics!
