What up folks, and welcome back to a new start here. This will be a documented diary of the fall season grow, It should be exciting this go around...I will be running the left table on Generahl Hydroponics, my usual formula... The right table on Advanced Nutrients, with a crapload of additives.
The Setup
Four 600w magnetic ballasts running GROWBRIGHT lamps, 95,000 lumens
Four Daystar AC hoods, running an aircooled closed circuit.
Two 3'x6' Tables
Two 70 gallon reservoirs
and a massive irrigation dripper system... lot of work them drippers.
This is a fresh air room, no CO2, no sealing. We roll with the punches and ebb and flow of temperatures in this dealywang. Someday I will seal a room, but not this one.
The medium, and Density
I will be running the krowmobe rockwool setup once again. 4" cubes on the 1'x3' slabs. 9 plants per light, 18 per table. 2 dripper stakes deliver top-feed nutrient to each plant every other day. Irrigation is every other day for 10 minutes throughout the entire cycle. The entire table is flushed HARD every 2 weeks with PH 5.9 tap water. Without the flush, crop failure ensues... salt buildup in rockwool is incredible.

This round we got some all-star strains...
26 Pot of Gold
3 MK-Ultra (purple)
2 Hashplant
4 Chronic
1 Ken's Granddaddy Purple
I would have liked to run 36 Pot of Gold, but they were not rooted in time, and a friend needed the remainder of the PoG, so I went with some "safety cuttings" that I took, for just this occasion... Normally I do not like to run multiple strains, but this was an emergency... time is ticking for us farmers, ya'know?
My 5th lamp is still 100% Organic, but It will be a little bit of a surprise that I will reveal later... so stick around for that one... going back to the old ways!
All plants on tables will veg for 14-21 days, I will flip when I decide they are ready... some point after 14 days.. The Pot of Gold will dictate flowering time for all; they will all be harvested around 65-68 days. Yeah, quite long... but I put up with it for Pot of Gold.
The veg formulas for both tables is the same, no need to get too crazy and ruin a crop before we get started right? So they are on the following GH regime:
for 60 gallons of water
0-250-500 g m b (modified Lucas Formula)
300ml Hydrogaurd
500ml Diamond dectar(helps control PH when using such a light ppm)
PH 6.0 PPM 500
Empty Room, cleaned up, sanitized, and ready to Grow
1 week veg
AN lineup...
Stick around.... there's going to be drama, laughter, tears, and a lot of hard work... sure to be a good one!!
