Hello all & please join me in my first grow,
After smoking weed for the past 25 years I finally came to the conclusion that I have to grow my own.
I had enough smoking commercial shit; it is time to smoke my own qualitative weed.
I picked up these strains because I prefer cerebral Sativas then couch-locking indicas – Stuff that I cannot find in local commercial growers.
I read a lot of gossip about Green-house seeds– but frankly it looks like some people just don’t like GHS being commercially successful.
On the other hand I read may reviews that praise GH seeds for being hermaphrodite free and best quality smoke.

I read some grow reports claiming that these strains are not for newbie like me, but got encouraged & inspired by Freezer Boy’s amazing grows

and counting on you good-heartedness experts made me launched this challenging 1st grow.

I started collecting info about a year ago – so I’ve got most of the theoretical knowledge -exclude the use of nuts which I guess you really learn only by practice.

My growing tent is located in humid basement (80 – 90%) with temperatures around
20-25C or 68-77F.
The tent is 80X80X160cm or 31X31X63inch, 2 plastic boxes with calcium chloride lower humidity down to 40% when the lights are on and up to 70% at darkness.
400w HPS Philips GreenPower in a cool-tube + 80W DL CFL as a side light.
Inline fan 230 m3\hour and a carbon filter keeps temp at 33C\90F when the lights are on and 23C\73F at dark.




Both girls are 4 weeks old and just got out of 72 hours of darkness to 12\12 cycle.
They reside in 3 gallon pots filled with soil-less mix made mostly out of peat moss.

Hawaiian snow:


& Arjan's Ultra haze #2




I plan to use the CFL as bottom light when the screen will get full and block the light for the undergrowth.
I need the undergrowth buds to keep me satisfied and away for the upper buds for the next 13 weeks.




I used BoiBizz fish-mix root-juice for the past 4 weeks.
And I just feed them with BioGrow, Biobloom & Alg-A-Mic according to the feeding schedule.
I keep the solution at ~5.8PH and ~1.7EC – my runoff water PH is ~6.2


Advices and mental support posts are most welcome

Besides all the indoor fun above I'm also running some GHS seeds in the sunny wilds
Here is "the Church" - now 7 weeks old and 50cm (20inch) tall


She is a sunny valley with AH#1 and another AUH#2 two weeks seedlings

Oh – and 4 little Lowryders#2 that just started to flower (6 weeks to harvest)

I got some pictures when the HPS light is off -
looks better.

And the AUH2

Hey Fat, Thanks 'fer the kind words. Break a stem and all that.

While undergrowth will aid in keeping your hands off the real stash, Be wary of letting it get too thick. Keep your eye on it, especially in such a humid environment. The photos fail to do justice to the undead, zombie appearance, pale, gray...yuck but, that's the result of overcrowding under the screen without keeping an eye on things

Thanks Freezer,
Just when I started to think I'm all alone here...

Thanks for the tip - I thought of using my 80w cfl to light up the under growth and add another fan beneath the screen.
I hope this will avoid such zombies?

I just posted a thread in the Infirmary section.
I think the AUH2 got a problem - or maybe it's me being to paranoid.
Experts - please check it out

You are a brave soul - I haven't ventured into Arjan-land yet, but then again I'll definitely do that where the weather will let me grow some serious outdoor trees.

Yeah watch that temp + humidity. 90F and 70% are both in the danger zone. I've found that, while the plant may be less fragile and requires less mothering than a lot of people are inclined to give, a lot of sustained heat will definitely cause problems with stretching in the near term and underdeveloped buds later, and high humidity will slow transpiration and therefore development now and can rot your buds come flower time.

Thanks devOn
I hope I'm a brave soul and not a stupid one
I also got an AUH#2 & AH#1 along with "the church" growing in the outdoors.
We never get the frost here and actually they grow in a place where is doesn't get below 12C\53F in winter.
What do you use to fed your outdoors grow?
I’ll bankrupt if I’ll use BioBizz to water 6 gallon pots…
