High all good people of IcMag
1st thread on Ic as well as 1st run w/ new setup
Will run 4 x 600w hps and vegging on 2 x 400w mh. Can add those 400s on flower as well in case encounter unlit spots in room. Normal size bedroom will be converted into grow room and lights are going to be hanging bare bulbs. Also trying to get a light mover in my hands to rig Marlo style yoyo. Got one here but the dude with it is extremely slow finding it...
Around walls will sit bigger girls to be trained over the walls propably Marlo style as well. Middle sections will hold stockier ones, trying to shoot for strong big trees and possibly supporting them with yoyos, thats if it doesnt get too busy...
Strains for this run
Cheese(15-17 to choose from)
Chocolope(10-15 to choose)
Kolossus x 3
Killing Fields 4 x 5
White Widow x 1
So total plant count will be around 35-40 girls sitting in 17l of lovely organic living soil. My soilmix is full of life in forms of Myco and Trichoderma fungies and my own Wild Lactobacillus.
Soil mix
150l commercial compost
150l commercial potting soil
10l EWC(from the shop, will add my own ones as top dress)
3kg Rock Phosphate
2kg Turbo Grow Rockdust
1kg Powdered Kelp Meal
2kg Bone Meal
50l recycled soil
100l Coco Peat
150l local organic compost
150l local potting soil
100g Alfalfa sprouts chopped in
These will cook at least 2wks and will be added my own worm poo which is at the moment also cooking due to heavy feed of nettles, parrot droppings and alfalfa sprouts. Once this is all turned good I'll shake some worms out and topdress or mix them in.
Plants are vegging already in 2l soda bottles but under 3 x 10w led floodlights so growth is slow. Few revegging ones still busy reverting but otherwise all set. Running also old mothers from Cheese and Chocolope so those should turn into nice and bushy. Started training early as well; mostly Super Cropped and LSTd along the way.
Plan is to veg under mhs while soil is cooking as soon as I get to move in. Then plan is to veg them on full capacity after transplanting into final containers for another week at least. Will also take loads of clones from succer branches for next round/mothers.
Pests have been issue in my previous grow; fungus gnats and spider mites have given me hard time Now running scheduled sprays; 1/month Neem oil, 1/month Pyrethrium based and 2/month Biological Mosquitocide. Also sticky traps hanging everywhere in room. Im also drenching my soil w/ Neem oil in veg...
Vent will be 200mm ducting, 500mmx200mm carbon and 910m3 fan. If this gets too hot in our coming summer I can supplement this with another 130m3 fan maybe on intake side.
Watering I run RO/Rain water as much as possible; filter underway, meanwhile carrying it from crocery stores
Also will foliar spray ACT and Lactobacillus. Seeking for other sprays as well.
Will post some pics when I get to location to shoot sum 1st..
Peace
