This is my 6th grow. All the previous were done under a cheap 400 magnetic htg supply they were also in soil and nothing but soil. Not good soil because it's very expensive where I live.
I'm I'm a 8x10 spare bedroom so plenty of room is available. I use one corner for the L shaped wall of weed. I use outside air to cool it, and half the time I don't need that either. I got my 3x3 tent setup in there. I had started in soil until I was convinced to switch. I had never taken clones so I figured I needed to get it done and know how to do it so I cloned the soil females, into coco solo cups and watered at 5.8 ph water. It took awhile for them to respond but they finally did. Since I got coco hempy clones and plants in soil I can compare the difference. I'm going to buy 3 g13 Pineapple Express and 3 dinafem blue cheese seeds here I'm a month or so. My plan is to finish this grow out, plant the good seeds and work on perpetual with cloning. I'm tired of bag seeds I don't get much off of it. I'll post updated pics of the room by tomorrow, I just moved some things around.
My Method
-Coco medium
-Feeding kiss style (maxibloom all the way)
-Wall of weed (vertical scrog)
-Hempy buckets
-Vertical
Upgrades I'm considering and why
-I'm working on getting a reservoir - To get rid of the hassle of lugging gallons up and down the stairs
-Truncheon meter - To read nutrient level differences if I don't see a need, then I won't.
-Ushio hps bulb for flowering - either this or my ipower hps bulb
-Wet/dry vac for the saucers of the hempys - When they are tied to wall, I need something to remove runoff
-Bigger sauces for the pots - The current ones overflow and get full real easy until watering is dialed in
-Mini washing machine hash extraction method - Always did butter and never cent anything.
-More clay pebbles - so I can expand and grow more buds..
this is my first journal, and I'm not sure how to start it out but I hope this will be a decent start. Pictures of plants and room will be up ASAP.
View attachment 2941915This pic is the left side of the room. All three of them are in coco hempy buckets.
View attachment 2941916This is a plant in soil. One of the clones mothers. I didnt label which was which. Next grow i got plans on replacing it with 3 coco hempys growing regularly.
View attachment 2941917This pic has two soil plants that are the clones mothers. Ill arracj them to the wall of weed as best as i can, and the next grow will be replaced with 3 coco hempys.
View attachment 2941918This is the 6 inch inline fan and filter i use for smell. Seems to work, might get a 8 inch.
View attachment 2941919This is directly behind the door when its opened..The AC i use during summer its a 10k btw. The tote at the top is half full of left over coco.
View attachment 2941920This is my electrical panel as i call it... its hanging on the wall behind the door and above the AC and tote of coco.
View attachment 2941921This box will be removed, and this is where i want to put my reservoir since its got electrical plugins right there and its next to my tent.
View attachment 2941922This is future expansion space. i want to do another wall of weed with 4 plants and a 600w with plants around it like the last one.
View attachment 2941923This is the intake from outside, its set on a speed controller and half the time i dont need it. The bucket im going to find a wet/dry vac lid for it and use it to suck the run off out of my saucers.
View attachment 2941924This is the tent, with 5 additional clones. they are rooted but i just took them to see if they would root and how easy it was... ill end up either killing or transplanting and flowering them before i get my seeds. When i get good genetic seeds, i want all bagseeds gone.
View attachment 2941925That is my desk i use to mix nutrients and record data on.. have been slacking lately but i need to step up.. that paint can is trash, the box is levers from the vertical switch.
View attachment 2941926This is a side view of the tent, where i want my res. The box will be removed, and the box fan is what i use for the plants on the wall of weed to keep them aerated and strong stems.
View attachment 2941927This is the door contraption i made. Hardly any light shines out and im working on fixing it so NONE shines out. The door is always locked and NO ONE knows i grow except my mother and thats because i live with her but anyways.. MUST STAY STEALTHY
View attachment 2941928This is a pic of current temps.. i love them....
