Hello there ICMAG!
I've been lurking around for almost a year on CB-forums. This one mostly, looking for inspiration and ideas and I think I finally found out what I want to do!
This thread is something like a warmup for what there is to come but I still wanna share my story and with you and get feedback on my acts. Fails as well as genious moves!
And I really hope I have something to bring to the community!
Learn by misstakes if nothing else!
Well! Here goes nothing!
I live in Sweden at 60+ lat. (Yeah, polarbears roam the streets and its -40C all around the year, or something...)
I got tired of all the people around me that "talk the talk" about growing weed and never doing anything more then talk. So I ordered some AF-seeds from a domestic seedshop last spring. The seeds were from a new breeder called "nordenseeds". AK47x. According to a thread on swecan is it AK47 from Serious seeds & Lowryder#1.
Should suit my cold climate! Perfect!
I hunted down 7 different spots to plant at. I really tried to think about putting them moisty enough after Ive read that dehydration was "common".
Little did I know that the "summer" would bring like more rain then the last 5 all together. When July ended I had 4 plants still alive. The rest was planted probably to wet from the start, and after this spring/summer there was no chance for them...
I can plant them outdoor around 3-4 june if I see a week of sun commin up. There is some old saying that its possible to see frost as late as 8 june.
I thought about it and planted 1 (one poor soul...) high up on a mountain as frost-compensation. Far away from any moist and water in the lowland and guess wich one grew best?
In mid may I pre-vegged my 32(?) babies in a bookshelf at a window.
It was quite a fail. After 3 weeks they hadnt fully rooted the cups 0.4 liters. Not even close acctually, and I recon almost all of them got some root-damage when I transplanted the in the (soon to be mud) earth. I gave each plant about 10 liters of regular plant-soil from the grocerystore.
Due to paranoia didnt I take alot of pics. The final result gave me about 35grams.
Even thou I had to harvest way to early cus of really shitty weather I was more then happy with the outcome concidering my knowledge and experience. The lack in harvest was so compensated by gained experience!
This is some pics from 13-20 aug.
I felt I had to try something again with a few seeds I had left.
Said and done!
I built a box 120*120*160 (4'x 4'x 5'4') and added a 600W HPS, a small bathroom-ventilationfan since smell is not a problem.
1 tablefan just for moving the air around in the box.
Temps between 14-26 degrees.
The 5 ladies stand in 12liter buckets. About 2 liters of claypebbels in the bottom, a mix of 4 liters soil, 1 liter of perlite, 1 liter vercumilite, 1 liter pebbles.
As nutrition ive used orchiid-nutrition for blooming orchids.
On top of that Ive added ½ strength of AN Bud Candy week 1-5 in flower.
I was planning to go all Hydro with another 600w, but this plan failed. Since Im stuck with soil ill get some GHE Maxibloom till next round.
Brb!
