After a decade long hiatus, I am back playing in the dirt.
Let's get right to the details. I have 11 plants going right now, all from seed. My intention is to eventually run a seven plant set up, with one mother, three in veg, and three in flower. This allows me to conform to my states limits for a medical patient.
The plants were germinated and broke soil on 8/12. Shortly after germination I discovered that I must move, this put a huge delay in getting an indoor setup put together, so the plants were kept going with just a couple led bulbs in clamp reflectors. I am very impressed with how well these LEDs did for me, the technology has certainly come a long way.
Once in the new place, I was able to begin setting up something a bit more proper for veg, which I will complete once these plants are moved to under the hps. As of now they're under 6 23watt CFLs plus the two 1700 lumen LEDs. This gives me 13,000 lumens for now, and I will be adding an additional six sockets and probably switching all of the bulbs to LED.
The plants are a little over month old from seed now, and are beginning to show alternating phyllotaxis and some small preflowers.
Once the plants are sexed, the females will finish veg under 600w hps, and the males fed to the bunnies.
My flowering area, at 3.5'x4'x7'2" tall, has significantly more height than I am used to. I am thinking I may just FIM for more colas but skip the tying down that I have always done in the past.
I hadn't planned to journal this grow, so the early pics are from me taking pictures of other things, namely a gecko, and a lone gnat.
