i wish i had been journaling this from the start but i was being lazy so now im a month in sense day one of clones being transplanted. i started with 12 plants packed in my 3x3 tent with the intention of taking several plants out to use for clones in my 120 ez cloner. after 1 1/2 weeks of lst'ing i took 4 plants out and cut them up for clones.. the remaing 8 are 3 purple diesels, 2 bluedreams(lots of lst to keep them controled. but there doing great!), 1 kandy kush, 1 ice, 1 la con.
as for my setup im using a simple drain to waist setup on a 3x3 flood tray with coco/perlite/coco husks. i use a dripper setup powerd by 550gph pump makes watering such a breeze.
for lights right now im using a normal 400w hps and 8 34w cfls and a 23 t5.. and in afew weeks ill be adding in 2 UVB 10.0 T8's and a 400w CMH.
nutrients...
floranova
dutch master silica
soul synthetics amino aid
soul sytnthetics big swell
in also used open seaseme the first week of flower and i plan to skip beasty blooms(sense i have the big swell) but still use cha ching
my ppm's are at around 1000 now and my EC can go around 1.8-2.1(i try to flush regularly)
and i only feed with in a range of 5.83-5.88. also i used to be religious about RO water now iv relized the money i waisted sense i did this whole grow off shower water!
havent had any deficientcys or really any problems at all coco's been a breeze!! had a little problem with spider mites on the bluedreams at about week 1 but i soaked and scrubbed the leafs with soap and water every 2 days and then iv been spraying with and incecticied i bought every 3 days into the first week of harvest. but now 2 weeks in and a week of no spraying and theres not a spider mite in site! but that dosent mean im gunna stop there ill keep my gaurd up and make sure these little fuckers know i mean buissness!
ok finaly the pictures!
this was day 1 of the hydro setup exactly one month from today.
and here is today. im pretty fuckin baked so i was too lazy to pull all my drip linning so i could take individual plant pictures but some time this week ill pull them out so you can get better look at these beutiful girls. i know it looks crammed but they actually fit very nicley. i just wish i could of lst's the purple deisels more but they just grew alot slower than the bluedreams so they didnt require it as much and i was truley shooting for controling a moslty even canopy.
BTW if i dont get 1Gram per Watt on this grow im switching to a 600w... 400grams dry with a completlty full 3x3 canopy shouldent be too hard.
i know that my lighting is way less efficient for the same electricity of a 600w hps but its what i have atm and i want to see what i can get out of it so dont hate! i didnt want to buy a cheap 600w setup i want a good ballest,hood and bulb so after this harvest it will be 600 or even a 1000w instead of all the cfls
let me know what you think! + rep for advice!
