Got a couple strains going full force now in my setup.
Kintzilla-Cookie (custom bred cookie strain)
Lemon Ice (Amsterdam Marijuana Seeds)
I start vegging under 200watts of T5 with 6500K bulbs until plants start to show good vegetative growth (.5-1"/day). Then I take cuttings from them for next round, and move them over to a separate 200watt T5 chamber running 4500K bulbs to let the plants recover for a week or two before flowering.
Flowering in a 3'x4'x6' chamber with two 315watt CMh Phillips 3100K bulbs in basic winged reflectors. Flower chamber is split into three (logical) parts where 3 plants come out, 3 plants go in, every 3 weeks to produce a perpetual harvest.
Cuttings go into rapid rooters, rapid rooters go straight into 3gal airpots.
3gal airpots are "no-till", I cut the stalk at the base, top dress with compost and plant cover crops (vetch, clover, rye, etc.) after harvest. Throw in a couple worms and let the cover crop get about 12" tall, chop and lay down, reuse pots for next batch of clones...
(this is my goal at least, have not perfected the timing and space constraints but on track to kick some mad ass these next couple cycles!)
End product is very tasty and potent. Slightly annoying leaf and root aphids so I'm hitting everything with SNS 209, and a little neem oil (except for budding plants). Started mixing in some neem meal to new 3gal airpots, and using play sand on the tops to battle the bugs as of last weekend.
Water is 50% rain barrel, 50% tap water.
1/4tsp per gallon epsom salts for cal-mag, recommended base dose of Silica per gallon for overall health, and SNS 209 for systemic pest control all added to my water reservoir. Molasses and guano are used for nutes (higher N for veg, higher P-K for flower). Also mixing in some photosynthesis plus (during veg) & fruit and vegetable yield enhancer (during flower) about once per week to keep the soil thriving. Also keep a worm farm and use the earthworm castings and worm water for compost teas when I think they need it.
Question
; what are all y'all's thoughts on this system of perpetual harvest using mainly organics shit. What are the drawbacks of using the bud chamber for plants that are all in different stages of flower.
First pic is the Lemon Ice at week 8/9. Are all these pink, yellow & green hues natural beauty or nutrient deficiency?
Second pic shows what my canopy looks like in this unique setup.
Third pic is the Kintzilla-Cookie coming out of week 9 (10 week strain), again the black, purple, red, and green hues are amazing but is this good?
This is year 2 of growing for me, but only month 5 of running the CmH bulbs. Pulling ~2 zips per plant on average.
Cheers and Happy Friday bitches!
