Hello everyone,
This is now my OFFICIAL Grow Diary for Summer 2010
Prices are listed as the lowest price I could find. My growshop is well stocked AND the guy price matches online purchases. Therefor I went in, found everything I needed and recorded it. I then went home and found everything online (lowest possible price) and recorded that. I will be taking the links to the store to price match and get the lowest possible prices. Best of all - Its local! Close drive and I love to support the local economy and this guys family business.
As far as the actual strain goes. I will be growing the
Sour 60 Autoflowering strain by Mdanzig.

I chose this strain for many reasons. Primarily I needed to be done by September first because of time constrictions. Secondly because it grows small and fast outdoors (my original plan) and third; because I've heard great things about the smoke reports and strains crossed to achieve Sour 60 (Joint Doctors "Lowryder", Dutch Passions "Master Kush", Dj Shorts "Original Blueberr
y", and BOG's "Sour Bubble"). I have 25 of these seeds (they threw in 5 extra -
).
Other Seeds
Okay! After some more research I've found out that my seeds I got as a freebie are
Sam the Skunkman's Original Haze X Skunk 1
~ Click the link then scroll down to seeds ~
This is awesome! I wasn't expecting to be able to grow these this year for multiple reasons (mainly time) but if I get this whole setup going in under 1 week (plausable?) I can harvest and be done with these seeds by early august. With both crops! Although the Sour 60's will be first to harvest which is good for time.
[FONT="]Sacred Seeds created the original [FONT="]Haze[/FONT] in the late 1970s. The [FONT="]Skunk[/FONT] x [FONT="]Haze[/FONT] [FONT="]hybrid[/FONT], combines the excellent effect and taste of Original [FONT="]Haze[/FONT] with the increased yield & shorter flowering period of [FONT="]Skunk[/FONT] No. 1. It has a fruity, sweet taste with an energetic effect.[/FONT]
How am I going to run both an Autoflowering Strain and a Sativa at the same time?
My plan as of now is to start the Sour 60's first. Veg for 3 weeks under 24/0 or 20/4. I will then put the Skunk Haze in to veg with them. By this time the Sour 60's should be flowering and pretty big.
When they are ready to harvest it will be around the time to put the Skunk Haze's into flowering. I will then switch my light to 12/12. When they are ready I will harvest. Probably 13-16 weeks.
Any problems in this?
Seems fool-proof to me!
Materials List for 5 x 5 Dr 150 Grow
~Top of the Line Value~
Secret Jardin Dr 150
Instead of making my own box a Secret Jardin is really attracting my interest.
Advantages
Large size for quite a few plants.
1000 W MH will fit perfect and there should be no air/heat problems.
Growbags
I will be starting them off in these individual wrapped root cubes I found. After they are around Day 20 I think I'll put the Sour 60's in the 1/2 Gal grow bags. The others might go a bit later. I will then put them into the 3 gal grow bag. Maybe I should go with 5 gal for the skunks? Places say that they like a bigger root base. 3 gal will be perfect for the Sour 60's. From there they will grow the entire time in the 3 gal.
Size
I unfortuantly can not have some 9 foot monsters. The Cab is around 7' tall so I do have some height restrictions. I am slightly worried about the Haze X Skunk. T
Nutes
I'll be using the standard Fox Farm line. Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, and Grow big. I am just planning on following the directions and doing around 1/4 solution in the beginning and seeing how the plants react. This and my potting soil are my only nutes for the time. Is this fine? Do I need any others?
Lamp Choice
Agrosun Gold 1000W MH Universal

I chose this because it's a big enough wattage for my 5 X 5 tent. It's also a great value bulb competing with the Hortilux Blue which is MUCH more expensive.
Math Expenses + Income?
First of all of this is against the rules then please, I can delete it ASAP or a mod can just do it. I'm just not sure where else to ask about this stuff. I don't have a mentor on it.
Does my math in the spread sheet seem like a good estimate? I think an OZ for every healthy female is a good call. If I have too many then I can kill the sick or small ones. Too little isn't a huge problem as long as I don't end up in the black.
I'm going top value because I know I can get the best value out of the best equipment. I feel that this is a good motto for growing marijuana.
Awesome Book Recomendation!
Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible (Paperback)
~ Click the link ~
On Amazon (cheapest and most reliable place for me) I picked it up and have learned a great deal in only a couple days. Although ICmag and other sites will provide you with all the needed necesities and knowledge having a simple, one piece, book is a great way to start. Its good for quick reference or learning the basics. Better than any online post in my opinion.
Useful Links I have Used
Please throw me ANY and ALL critiques as they are very helpful to me.
