hi everyone this is my 3rd grow
1st grow was 12 blueberry clones in soil 4 week 24/0 veg then 8 week flower 12/12
2nd grow was 5 big Buddha cheese 3 Kalashnikova 1 purple haze 1 giga bud and 1 super skunk this was in soil 12/12 from seed.
This time i thought I'd try a 5 plant scrog growing in coco
i germed the seeds by the paper towel method and this time i've got 4 big buddha cheese and 1 Kalashnikova i grew these under a 63w cfl for a couple of weeks before they went into their 11 liter pots
my set up is a sealed room that's about 5.5-6ft high with a area of 4x4ft
i running a 600w dual sunmaster bulb in a Icarus air cooled hood with a rhino carbon filter with a 4" inline extracting to the outside another 4" inline bringing in cool air from outside the room and 2 passive intakes and another 4" intake with a pc fan blowing over the plants
my temps are between 23-28c(expect the last few days with this mad heatwave) i did buy a 6" inline systemair rvk 150 L1 with a cfm of 680 but this was LOUD so it had to go and i went back to my 4" but the outside temps have dropped so all is good
the 4 bigger plants have been vegging for 5 weeks and the smaller one 3 weeks
i lst'd the fuck out of the 4 and topped them a few times
i'm using coco grow A & B for veg and i'll be using hesi coco bloom and hammer head pk 4/8 for flowering my ph is about 6-6.5
screen size is 4ft x 3ft sitting 6" above pots
there's a great guide here for lst'ing and topping

i only topped the smaller one once
i'm flipping to 12/12 in week enough chat here's some pics ;)

a quick update with a few pics i switched to 12/12 on Saturday and tonight i changed my air cooled hood back to my aero wing as its got a lot cooler and i'm running my light from 6 at night till 6 in the morning heats not an issue and the light spread is way better with aero wing i swapped my nutes to coco hesi bloom and hammer head pk 4/8 started both at 1/4 strength IMG_2200.jpgIMG_2201.jpgIMG_2203.jpgIMG_2199.jpgIMG_2202.jpg

thanks Zibra
i took some clones last Thursday as my previous attempt at cloning in rockwool failed :(
i was gonna try the same method as Zibra that can be found here:-

but i never got round to sorting some smaller pots/party cups so in the end i used some root riot cubes I've used these before to start some seeds and
have read only good things about using these for cloning,so far so good no roots showing yet but there not dead :)there in my airing cupboard under a fluorescent
light 24 hours a day and kept nice and warm misted in the morning and evening IMG_2209.jpgIMG_2213.jpgIMG_2210.jpgIMG_2212.jpgIMG_2204.jpgIMG_2211.jpg

They are looking good man. One comment I have to make is that don't spray the leaves anymore. Spray only inside your dome if your humidity is low. One other point I want to make is that keep it in a place that u get constant temp and humidity, that's the key to get a nice clone. Not that I'm an expert, lol....only did it once. LOL

a few pics from tonight i used to have my fans on 24 hours a day but as its got colder its getting too cold in there so they come on 1 hour before lights on and go off 1 hour after lights out and also from 12-1 in the afternoon just to change the stale air, temps lights on max 28c lights off min now 22c
the stalk at the bottom of one of my cheese's is huge and got loads of kolas sprouting out of it probably from my extreme lst'ing and fimming and topping :)IMG_2216.jpgIMG_2218.jpgIMG_2217.jpgIMG_2215.jpgIMG_2220.jpgIMG_2219.jpg

Looks good man. im gonna try a scrog my next go around. What's the white stuff in the first pic of ur stems?

Its better to run ur fan for 15 min every hour or 2 to change out stale air instead of just for a couple hours out 12. Ull actually use less electricity and exchange more air. If u have the correct size fan for uur room it should exchange air within a few min so running it continuosly with lights off is pointless.


Just posted some new pics of my ladies in flower if u wanna check em out. Links in my signature
