Ok, a little back round. CA medical patient growing for personal use. This is not my first time growing, not by a long shot. I grow for myself now and have downsized a lot. I just use my own soil mix and although I am concerned with yield it’s not that big of a deal anymore. (Of course I would like the most return for my time and money, but I find this hobby both exciting and relaxing so I’m in it no matter what I harvest.) I have run E&F tables in the past and Waterfarm buckets but I am back to the tried and true Soil/Soiless mix that I am currently running. I like a variety of bud to choose from come harvest time so no more monocropping. If you have any tips on increasing yield feel free to shout them out but the answer might be that I don’t find it worth the extra money or time, but we’ll see. Thanks for checking me out. I’ll blast through the veg as i find more excitement in buds… yeah.
Here’s the strain list. I hope all are authentic but only time will tell.
2 C99( Pineapple Pheno)
2 OG Kush (sfv cut)
1 Purple OG
2 Grape Ice
1 Pre 98 Bubba
1 BullRider
1 Purple Urkle
1 Burkle
1 Shiskaberry
Okay, let’s start off where it gets interesting. Here is a quick run through of what was a quick veg cycle due to time constraints. I always end up vegging my plants too long anyway so maybe I’m on the right track flipping them sooner.
Right now they are under a 400 watt CMH which I am loving. <-- First time.
Here’s my cuts on 9.5 in my pre-veg CFL cab.
After they go into beer cups with FFOF.
Then onto the final receptacle 3 gal pots/bags. These ones I cut shorter because I am going to flower them when they are small. Due to time constraints I need to flip on Oct 1st so that the latest finishing babies are done by Dec 15th. Oct 1st, so I’m flipping in 2 days. Here they are today.
Flowering will be under the 400 CMH for the first week or two to keep the nodes short, then it will be upgraded to 600 w HPS, then during the last 4 weeks it will be the 600 HPS and the 400 CMH or I might just throw in a 1000w HPS. Wish me luck all.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that if I can get my hands on some good pollen then I will be pollinating some lower branches to have some beans for the future. I really love some of these varieties (esp the C-99 and OG) and would love to play strain hunter with some crosses if possible. I actually would consider pollinating the whole crop if I could. For now the plan is for buds and a few beans.
Just for S&Gs, here are a few pics of some recent crops.
Feel free to ask any questions. Most everything I do is for a reason and I’m happy to share.
Peace IC.
