HI Guys
Well after being away for a while I am 100% back in the land of all things green!!!
So this latest project is in a tent 1.2 x 2.4 x 2.0m, I using 20L pots with coco+ as the medium. For light I have 3 x 600 w on digital switchable ballasts so they can hit 630w each with boost or go as low as 400w for veg. I used 1x 600w MH bulb for veg as well as 2 x 600w HPS once they all started to get bushy. I rotated them all to get an even amount of MH light during my 10 week veg from seed.
For ventilation I was using a 6" rhino silent fan for an intake and a rhino silent 8" outtake with carbon filter, that is regulated via a temp fan controller. I also have 2 oscillating fans one in either corner upside down on the ceiling facing the top of the collas. Temps were a steady 28c during the day with RH of 50% and 22c on a night with RH of 65%.
Towards the last week and a half of veg it got HOT (which was a few weeks ago in the UK) and hit 28c outside which sent my temps through the roof at they hit 33c on the first HOT 3 days of summer. As you will know this is no good at all so I went out and bought a 9000 BTU air con machine from Home base and a dehumidifier. I am glad I did as now my temps are a steady 28.6c during the day with RH of 35-40% and 18c on a night with RH of 35-40%.
So as I mentioned I did a 10 week veg from seed for 6 of the plants and a 8.5 week veg for the other 4 (reason being I bought 10 seeds and got 2 x promo seeds from my supplier, I then planted 8 out of of the 10 I bought in root riot and incubated for 2 days in the dark with feeding every 12 hours ish on PH water only......anyway only 2 had died after a week so i planted the other 4 to see what I got.
So out of the 12 seeds I got 10 biters........... 4 x Incredible Bulk, 4 x Critical +2.0, 1 x Blue Kripple & 1 x Kripple Roulette.
3 x Incredible Bulk & 3 x Critical +2.0 have had a 10 week veg from when I planted the seed in the root riot and were around 3 feet tall from the top of the soil when we switched to 12/12. The other plants, 1 x Incredible Bulk, 1 x Critical +2.0, 1 x Blue Kripple & 1 x Kripple Roulette were nearly 2 feet tall from the top of the soil when switched.
OK so I re-potted into 5L tubs when the seeds had their first real leaves and the root mass has begun to pop out of the root riot.
In veg following the re-pot I only used House & Garden Aqua flakes A & B at the following EC readings: 0.8 for the first 2 weeks. Weeks 2-4 I upped it to 1.0 on the EC, weeks 4-6 1.2 & weeks 6 -10 kept it at 1.4 on the EC. They seemed to be happy with the feed schedule and they have shot up with a nice dark geen running throughout the different strains.
The only real issue feed wise is that the water out of the tap was a PH of 7.5 so ive had to keep on top of that on every feed but that is no biggy.
Ok so now we are coming up on the 6 weeks mark for flowering and Iam on the following feed schedule, as I said before I only used House & Garden Aqua flakes A & B bloom at the following EC readings: 1.4 base nutes for the first 2 weeks with 100ml of Canna Boost in 30L of feed, Weeks 2-4 I upped it to 1.6 on the EC with 100ml of Canna Boost and 25ml of PK 13/14 per 30L of feed, weeks 4-6 1.8 on the EC and 100 ml Canna boost per 30L feed they seem to be happy with the feed schedule and they have lots of bud sites and they are forming nicely....some colas are nearly 12 inches long and are quite dense.
I plan on the following for the last few weeks of flower Weeks 6-7 1.6 on the EC with 100ml of Canna Boost and 25ml of PK 13/14 per 30L of feed, Weeks 7-8 water flush with 100ml of Canna Boost per 30L of feed, Weeks 8-9 water flush only, week 9 day 1 water flush and lights out for 3 days then harvest, trim & leave upside down in the dark for 10 days in the tent with the fans running keeping a steady 22c with 30% RH
I will be posting pics tomorrow of all strains progress and the setup I have, the reason I have posted this first is so if have you have any questions or want any pics in particular I can take them for you etc.
Thanks for reading pics coming in the next few days
