Raspberry Cough DWC Grow

Okay my long awaited Feminized Raspberry Cough Seeds are finally here. This Strain comes from Nirvana and is a cross of a Cambodian Land race and The award winning ICE strain. Predominately Sativa and according to Nirvana tall thin and well suited to be grown In close Proximity of each other.

The set up goes as follows. Germinated in a heated humidity dome. Vegged under a two foot eight bulb T5 Fluoros (Will be adding four Compact fluorescent s when they get put into veg. They'll be grown in a six pot DWC set up that has both top drip and bubble bars in the res. Will be Germinated in Rapid Rooter Plugs and placed in Five inch net pots with Hydroton. The Nutrient line up is Canna Aqua Vega A and B plus Rhizotonic and Flores A and B for flower. Of course I have a hygrometer/thermostat, Hanna PH meter as well as Final Flush for the last two weeks of flower.


A few Misc things Include that my grow space is a 4 foot wide by 5 feet long by 7 foot tall walk in closet (this is why I'm using T5 instead of my 1000 watt. I have used weather stripping to seal up the door. I am going to run a homemade Co2 set up using a couple of 1 gallon milk jugs, 1/4" air hose, Sugar, water and Yeast. Ive been told by a couple of people that this will give me steady Co2 production for ten to fourteen days.


Hope this gave a basic explanation. I will be adding Pics tonight of the set up. I absolutely welcome all advice and commentary as this is my first grow journal (third grow) I'm hoping some of the vets will drop by and lend there advice.

*note* originally typed this up three days ago. I am on day three and not only have all four girls germinated Nicely they are in rapid rooter plugs almost an inch tall. Realized The light was waaay to far from the humidity dome (im used to working with 1000 watt hps not t5) so moved it in very close before they started stretching. Pics will be up today soon as the wife finds the camera.

Moved the four girls from the heated humidity dome yesterday and into five inch net pots. they're bout four inches tall, used canna's website to tailor my nute levels. I opted for a light nute mix with the drip coming on three times a day for two minutes. lowered the lights too three inches off the canopy and mixed up my yeast co2 generator and already there was a noticeable difference in them. Will post pics tonight (if anyone's even reading this dang journal)

I have only bought seeds 1x, but I am pretty sure I will always go with straight feminized seeds, not sure why not..
I'm 24 days into flower of my first grow, all fem seeds (LSD & White Widow)........... they're all girls too.

Yep, I got the same deal, so I'm sub'd too. Won't be popping mine for a while, so I'll just watch this grow for now :bigjoint:Lookin good!
2 for the price of one, can't beat that.

Just ordered Nirvana's Raspberry Couch and Ice FEM seeds.............sub'd
So far they are doing amazing. soaked em for twelve hours and did the paper towel germination and they all popped nice tap roots in 24 hours total. Don't know if it was my light height or what but two of them stretched an inch or two longer than the other two (some people say there's show dominant sativa while other plants in the same grow show dom indica) so I took the two taller ones and placed em lower in the net pot so they werent falling over. Other than that running a light nute schedule and they are thriving.

I also took the humidity dome placed it over the top of the unit so its almost an air tight seal ran my yeast co2 hose through the top vent and just cracked the side two for a lil air exchange. I do it for the last hour of light while they're still small enough and its definitely boosting them along.

I just built a 4x3x6 box and lined it with mylar. I didn't put walls on the inside, just the 2x3 studs. Which makes it hard to hang mylar. Next time I will have to modify a little. It is just the one cab which will veg and flower. I don't have the space to do anything more than that currently. :leaf:

how did you set up your ventilation? active exhaust passive intake?

Read thru my journal. I have pics in there of my process. I cut a hole in my floor for intake and ran a duct underneath to draw air from under my home. I have a temporary fan setup in my exhaust hole but I am getting an inline fan ordered soon to take the place of the temp fan. Yes it is active exhaust/passive intake. Sub up to my journal and follow along if you like.

i hope all goes well and am subed to this for one reason. i ordered ww from nirvana, grew them out, seemed to grow too easily just with a nitrogen issue and cured the hell outta them. potency was medium, i would guess around 8-12% kinda like big bud. takes a joint to get me high. since then i switched companies and we will see. prev grows were rasberry cough outta bagseed, turned out very indica but soothing. other was g-13 through friend-they died and kinda acted like reg. the best grow i have done---green crack-bagseed. i seem to find that my best way to get strains is through my other growers who get there seeds from big time dealers. currently they gave me hindu kush, headband, bubblegum and super lemon haze. they claim that there dealers have medical connections and get them from amsterdam...id love to try to find out, but $150-400 for a pack of seeds....no thanks, ill stick to cloning.
