Welcome everyone to my second grow journal! I gained alot of knowledge from my first grow, and i intend on using that brain learnin' to actually get some BUDS this time around instead of BALLS!
so here we go, improvements on the first grow:
#1 - FEMINISED SEEDS. bought the Cheapest seeds possible last time, which resulted in 2 males out of 2 plants. lesson learned. This time round i have some quality feminised seeds.
#2 - HPS. although there is nothing wrong with CFL's and im impressed with some of the results people are getting, its pretty much the consensus that HPS is the way to go, so i have a 400w system this time around. i still have my 2 big 150w 2700k cfl's for later in flowering for more light if i need em.
#3 - NO STRESS. last time I trimmed a few leaves off and also fimmed at a fairly early stage. lots of stress for no reason. this time im going to allow nature run its course and top/fim only if really needed. i have alot more room now to play with due to the new hps. I want girls not hermies.
#4 - GROW TENT. last time i did a pretty half-arsed job of keeping my grow area clean and keeping lots of reflective material around. I have solved this problem with a fancy new growtent.
so there you have it, onto the pics.
first, the new grow area.
and next, my first seedling which has had about a weeks head start on the other seeds, a feminisd BIG BANG.
I will reveal the identity of the other strains when they sprout. At this stage I think that 4 of the 6 will sprout. They are 6 different strains.
ALL COMMENTS WELCOME!
