[streets]

ill start off by saying that this is a continuation from my first grow journal, which i will stop using as soon as i am finished flowering.

just to let everyone know.. ill have to eventually be moving this setup to a larger location when i buy my house this winter.


how i will be doing this perpetual setup is on a 6 week basis.
current setup (set up will get larger as time goes on):

Lights:
1- 1k watt MH conversion for flowering -homemade aircooled hood and hydrofarm ballast
1- 600 watt HPS for flowering - digital green house with large aircooled reflector
1- T8 4' 8 lamp fixture for vegging - Home depot fixture

Soil:
Promix

Nutes:
Fox Farm Trio - Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom
Fox Farm soluables - Cha Ching, Open Seseame, Beastie Bloomz
Epsom Salt 2X per grow
Grandmas Molasses - flowering only

Strains Currently: White Skunk, Big Bang, Church, Purple Wreck

currently have a home made aeroponic cloner 8 site

homemade Co2 is also being used


more pictures of the new setup to come.. these are only a few that i had from 2 nights ago. enjoy and i hope to get some people subscribed and throwing out their 2 cents!!!!

happy growing!

just got an awesome timer and atmospheric controller both from Green Air Products. Transplanted 14 plants, took 8 clones. Took some pics, I'll post them tomorrow! Everything is looking great!

new toys:

Co2 tanks coming soon! i already have the regulator n such.. thinking of getting something to use with this.. these two devices were a gift from a friend.. if anyone has either one of these and can give me some advice, PLEASE DO!

Veg room:

Flowering room:

BIG BANG :30 SOME DAYS INTO FLOWER

PURPLE WRECK: 30 SOME DAYS INTO FLOWER

White Skunk 3 days into flower :

ENJOY!

well I did som research! Those controllers are very efficient for controlling Co2, dehumidifiers, air conditioners, exhaust, ect. They are both synchronized to run co2 than shut that off when levels are accurate than turns the exhaust fans on. Tons of flexibility with these products

Bad ass bud porn.

What did you pay for the 2 units? I assume they are used, good score.

What made you pick a 6 week cycle?

I have a CAP XGC 1e that runs my whole tent, i love it and it makes it super easy to dial in your grow. I can make a 20# tank of Co2 last almost 4 weeks.

Keep the pics coming......JR

I didn't pay a dollar for them... But I know they are both 250+ each... 6 week cycle works for me because I can legally have 72 plants here in michigan under the MM program. So 24 plant harvest every 6 weeks... I am not quite there yet.. But will be once I move my grow to a bigger location... Currently got 31 plants total.. 9 flowering. After a few harvest I'll b able to afford some more lights and inline fans and odor control...

obviously a 72 plant setup, growing 2-4 feet each, is quite large.

so for the cycle: 6 weeks clone/veg, 6 weeks flower, than the last 6 weeks are for flushing and curing

Looks clean sub'd to see the planned changes

Looks clean sub'd to see the planned changes

preferably my flowering room will be 25'x12, and veg room 12'x10'... Lots of plants.. Lots of lights!!

when time comes I may switch from T8 to T5... But for the money I'm not visually seeing much difference in growth... Maybe like 15% more growth... Maybe! Lots of changes in the upcoming months!!

Nice selection of strains there. Have you already got to sample them previous to this endeavor or will this produce the first smoke of these strains for you? Interested to hear either way.

thanks for taking the time to check out my grow. And yes I got all these strains from clones from my original caregiver.

purple wreck: very heavy strong euphoric high, creeps up on you in 30 minutes.. High lasts hours

big bang: all around great smoke. Extremely potent, so much as to I can only smoke 1/2 a joint to myself and be medicated for 4 hours. Tastes excellent

church: my favorite out of the 4, has a very piney/burnt smell when grinded, but when smoked has a very earthy/fruit taste.

white skunk: a real heady high, rough smoke and seems to expand in your lungs more so than the others. Be prepared to cough your ass off!!

I had a choice of many strains from him, but these 4 are definitely some of the best herb in my area.

I will be getting clones of Purple and Strawberry Cream soon, both excellent herbs.

fed the church and white skunk last night

everything is looking good. I'll have some picture updates on wed.

so far using the soluables from FF the plants are bulking up alot more and the hairs and crystals on the purple wreck are turning a bit lavender. Smells amazing

 

[streets]

WOW!!! PURPLE pics on weds mornings

 

[streets]

some pics for you to feast your eyes on everythings going good so far. what do you think?

Veg room : set of first pictures... the red cups are big bang, the 4 closest to the camera are purple wreck and the 3 forming a triangle are big bang. the two on the end are church. if u notice there are stalks sticking out of water bottles... well im trying to see if i can clone with only water Phed at 5.8. we'll see, im not counting on it, just an experiment. im having some issues with the leaves on the big bang that are 8" tall... check the pics for what im talkling about.. i dont know what it is

flower room:
purple wreck and white skunk /w large buds are 5 weeks into flowering. the smaller big bang with alot of small bud clusters is 3 weeks into flowering.. i tried to line up the pics accordingly.. white skunk... which is barely a week into flower has been growing light crazy! and they are all showing there sex... all female, which was to be expected.

any questions or comments please feel free to ask! i would love n e feedback and advice!

i was thinking of topping the current plants in the 3 gallon pots in the veg room once they hit 14". i seem to be getting great results with topping the big bang that are in the flowering room.

ill say it again.. everyone who hates on t8 lights are outta there mind! for the price im getting GREAT results! whatcha think?

Streets your garden is absolutely beautiful!! Your love for your plants and your green thumb are very apparent. Looks to be some wonderful strains as well. Don't you just love seeing your girls plumping up so healthy and happy and thinking that the more calyxs they put out the better their chances are of getting spluffed upon lol.

What are you trying to achieve with the topping that you are considering and when will they be put into flower?

Talk to ya

Fattening up nice! How many harvests do you have under your belt?

wow thank you so much for the kind words, esp coming from you, YOUR garden is beautiful!! And yes these gals are amazing! Can't wait to light it up!

I topped because I didn't like how tall my plants were getting and I wanted to experiement with other techniques. If you have any advice for me it would be greatly appreciated! I plan on vegging for 6 weeks,flowering for 6 weeks than flushing for 2-3 weeks and than drying for 2 weeks.. So in total about 18 per harvest, 3 harvests within that 18 weeks period once my first is done

talk to you soon!

Fattening up nice! How many harvests do you have under your belt?

this is my first harvest EVER! I'm really excited to see my results!! I'm hoping for atleast 1.5 off each plant.. My next ones I'm sure I'll up my dry weight, this first harvest was just a test to see if I still have my skills.. I believe I do!
