New York City Diesel (Soma) x Sour Diesel (Rezdog) - Grow Diaries - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

After over a decade of not growing, I decided it was time to grow again. I suffer from arthritis and for me Marijuana has helped more than any pill that I have tried. So, not too long ago I ordered up some beans and got all of my equipment in hand. Set up the grow box and ran it for a couple days before putting in any plants in to make sure temps, ventilation, and all electronics were working. All things looked good so I popped five NYCD x SD ibl seeds. 4 of 5 grew, you can see them below.

These photos were taken at 4 weeks old.

The plan is to clone and keep the best for mothers for clone runs and crossing with future varieties. ...once they sex out the lights are going to 12on & 12off.

My flowering area is only 2ft by 2ft by 4ft and is lit by two 150 watt high pressure sodium lamps remotely installed in a custom reflector. This gives me about 75 watts of light per square foot. All air movement is handled by a 4" hydrofarm blower and a small 4" table fan. I like things simple and natural so my medium is all organic and I hand water with plain well water.

My soil is about 80% Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil and 20% perlite with a little Happy Frog Fruit & Flower fertilizer mixed in. The FFOF has a lot of nitrogen in it, I believe this is the reason my plants are incredibly dark. I expect that to taper off as these go into and through their flowering cycle, if not then more perlite will be added on the next run.

Well that's the run down on what's happening here, I'll update as necessary with new photo's and info.

Did some testing of my well water, not so good! Changed up my water source on xmas day and now am using clean lake water.

Well water - PH 8-8.5, alkalinity 200-300ppm, hardness near 300ppm(!), nitrates were ok
Lake water - PH 7.0, alkalinity 40-80ppm, hardness 75ppm, nitrates again ok

Hopefully everything is in check now and things can progress a lot better...

Damn, even in veg these are some stinky ladies! Guess it's time read up on making an inline carbon filter.

Sexing these has finally been completed, have 2 females and 2 males. Clones of all have been taken. Mothers and fathers got trimmed up. Veg area almost completed. Rock n' Roll

Will be flowering the old Sea Of Green style.

Here is the lone Bubblegum I had from seed, by Serious Seeds. Based on the immature preflowers it's looking like a male. This is ok as it can be used down the line.

Carbon Filter constructed, will know in a day or so if it's doing it's job. Veg area finished... clones looking good thus far. Will be flowering a dozen clones in a Sea of Green. Updates will follow ...

My soil mix seems to be lasting 5-6 weeks before it needs nutrients. A little extra organic fertilizer should suffice the budding clones through flowering. Clones are about a week from being ready.
