Howdy all. I've made some changes since the last go 'round, so I figured it was time for some new digs.
Welcome back to all who've made it from the last run. That was a good learning experience, but we're gonna do some tweakin' and more fun-havin' this time.
If you're stopping by for the first time, welcome! Grab a beer and a seat. Feel free to pipe up with wisdom, experience, or insults. The only phrase that's banned: "Told ya so." Lousiest statement in the English language. Reserved for dicks.
Speaking of changes, let's hear about 'em: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj6LarYFd4g
Changes:
- Was growing essentially 8 taller plants around two 400 W HPS stacked right on top of each other.
- This time: Will be growing shorter plants (~ 33" headspace), but two levels of 'em. Think: two donuts, stacked one on top of another.
- Was rockin' two 400 W HPS.
- This time: One 600 W and one 400 W, both HPS.
- Last time's dirt mix:
2.4 cu ft FFOF
2 cu ft ProMix HP
48 lbs EWC
2.4 C diatomaceous earth
1.8 C greensand
1.2 C Blood
3 C Bone
3 C kelp meal
2.4 C lime
[I forget how much] azomite
- This time: Added glacial rock dust, Indonesian guano, crab shell meal and neem seed meal.
The goal this time 'round is to keep a steady flow goin' in and out of the oven. Ultimately, I'm figuring batches of four - four finishing flower, four starting flower, four veggin', lather, rinse, repeat (forty-four times).
First round to flower will be Nightmare Diesel, Golden Goat, and Strawberry Diesel x ChemD.
Nightmare Diesel (2-3x stretch, from experience)
Golden Goat (0 stretch, I'm told)
Strawberry Diesel x ChemD (1.5-2x stretch) Heh. Transplanted her, then forgot to water her in for a couple hours. Doh.
If I've not lost you yet, keep readin'. At the least, keep lookin' at the purtty pitchers.
