Hello ICMag! Recently signed up after years off the forums and some years off growing anything but those weird occasional hairs poking out the tip of the nose. Seriously, what's up with those and why are they always so long by the time it gets yanked out.....
Anyways, this grow diary will follow the adventures around the house and yard. Everything is still in a state of flux but winding down and coming together, although some stuff is still in boxes/ scattered around the soon-to-be flowering bloom room.
The nugs and bolts
STRAINS: OGKB, Wedding cake(?), 20+y/o OG kush, Bubba, and soon as I get everything set up and running Chemonade from Tru Canna, but those beans are still in their bag.
The cuts were all refugees from a now defunct GH that a friend hooked me up with. They were all unlabeled but I'm familiar with the strains although the wedding cake is somewhat of a guess based on the cuts they were running. Other possibilities include WBOG and grease monkey but I don't remember the GM ever getting purple tips.
As with most refugee plants these all came with a couple hitchhikers including thrips and spider mites. I'm proud to say after individually drench spraying each plant with Plant Therapy and examining under microscope I appear to be bug free. Weekly maintenance sprays in veg and first week of flower will be a SOP.
Medium: Promix, BM6, sunshine #4 whatever is available and cheapest.
Nutrients: Jack's 3/2/1, fulvic acid, tribus. Soon to include silica, if anyone has any input on using silica please feel free to speak up.
Bloom Room Setup: (2) HLG550 LEDs over (2) 4x4 trays, (2) layers of trellis, the first set ~14" above (9-13) 5gal pots per 4x4 tray. Still sleeping on how many plants to run per tray, but I keep coming back to 13 in a checkerboard pattern. I'm a big fan of heavy training through the lower trellis.
Veg Room Setup: (1) 8Bulb T5 over (1) 2x4 tray containing (24) 6" square pots, (1) 4Bulb T5 over (1) 2x4 tray containing (24) 6" square pots, (1) 4Bulb T5 over 2x4 tray containing (50) 4" pots, (1) 2' Single bulb T5' over single clone dome.
Plants that don't get used in the bloom room are given away or put outside to flower depending the time of year.
More pics coming soon until then here's how the moms are finishing up outside
