Greetings one and all
I've been mulling over the thought of starting a thread for a while now and I think that time has come. The 'Funk Farm' is one of many things, as well as it being a source of medication and spiritual sacrament, it is also my temple and a quest for some freedom in 'the matrix' which most of us live in today.
Anyway, enough blabbering... on with the show
I think we'll start with a few shots of the last round.
Field Marshall 'Haze Kush'
Field Marshall 'Lady Berry Kush'
OJD's 'Platinum Amnesia'
Karma Genetics 'Jack Cheddar'
Rez 'ChemdogDDxChemdog'
All hand-watered daily to very little run-off, which sits in the dish underneath and has usually been drank by the next day.
Here's the coco I'm using. It's very course, more shredded than powdered, unlike Canna. I tried Canna a while back and didn't really like the way it behaved, I'm getting on much better with this stuff. It's also a lot easier for me to transport in brick form too. I re-use it almost straight away after each run, just sterilise with boiling water, flush through with PH'd water and re-plant.
Nutrients are down to Advanced Sensi Grow & Bloom, PH'd to 5.5-5.8. Found some unsavoury statistics about them recently so I'm going to switch to the Iguana Juice as soon as I can. I did check GH but I wasn't filled with much confidence in either Flora or Floranova.
Here's a little overview of my main setup. 2 x 600HPS hanging bare vertically with an oscillator under and ring of plants around each. I have a 3rd 600 and space for another ring in that room too but I didn't have anything in veg ready to go into flower. Attention has been elsewhere... all (you need to know) will be revealed
Next round is about 5 weeks in. In the line up we have -
4 x Karma Genetics Jack Cheddar
2 x Field Marshall LadyBerryKush
1 x Field Marshall HazeKush
3 x BOG LifeSaver
2 x Sam Skunkman's Original Haze x Skunk#1
3 x Alien Express
Also throw a clone or two in there now and again to see how they stretch/behave/sex etc. I think there's only one Mosca C99 and a HazeKush at the moment. Just waiting for roots.
I'm sometimes in the mood for words, sometimes pics. Today was a pics day so I'll leave it there for now. I'll take shots of everything else going on as we go. Any suggestions for improvement will be gratefully received.
Thanks for joining me, and stay tuned for the next episode where we'll be looking at some nug shots, taking a tour of the 'LifeSaver Lab' and seeing what up and coming varieties will be battling for their permanent stay in the Funk Farm.
EDIT: Just want to mention that most of the genetics I'm working with have been donated by generous people who frequent these boards. Without them none of this would have been possible. To those, they know who they are, my eternal gratification
