Hey there guys, I thought i'd post a journal of the last 5-6 weeks flowering of my OG Kush x White Widow cross breed and the full grow cycle off my next grow.

So here's the setup:

3 x Grow Rooms.
2 x 600w grow lights. (Flowering HPS, I do have MH bulbs for vegging as well)
1 x 300w CFL (Vegging)
8 x Plants (4 each tent)

I am using Canna Terra Professional soil, potted in 3 Gallon pots (To be upgraded to 5 Gallon shortly). I am also using the following nutrients:

Canna Terra (Veg for vegging, Flores for flowering)
Canna Boost
Canna PK 13/14
Canna Canazym
Canna Rhizotonic

The nutrient solution is the recommended dosage.

Vegging room

In this room I have a 300w CFL (6400k), I also have a 20 site Aeroponic Propogator with 20 clones freshly cut today. Also in the vegging room is the mother plant that was brutally hacked down earlier but I didn't take a photo of her.

Flowering rooms

The flowering rooms are seperated into two tents. Each tent contains a 600w HPS light. These first 5 Photos are of plants vegged under a CFL Bulb (I apologise about the photo quality):

The following 5 plants were vegged under a Metal Halide bulb (approximately 3 weeks less veg time then the CFL)

Thanks for looking, comments appreciated.

nice man . how much electric is that costing you on a weekly basis ? You running a filter with fans in the 2 flowering tents man ?

I am running two 5 inch fans, they aren't going through a carbon filter yet but will be in the next week or so.

Approximately £20 a week electrcity.

Not much to report.

I have now begun feeding the 8 flowering plants the following solution:

10 ml Terra Flores
3 ml PK 13/14
5 ml Canna Booster
5 ml Cannazym

per plant per feeding (2 Litres).

I will be doing this feed approximately 4 more times before I remove the PK 13/14 from the nutrient mixture.

Picture updates will be posted in a couple days, Week 4 Flowering begins tomorrow.

Subbed man! Cant wait to see the end result. OG Kush is a strain Ive been trying to get my hands on for awhile but 100 bones plus for 3 seeds n shit. But yeah I think my bagseed I got is a WW but not too positive lol. Your ladies seem to be a little small for going into week 4 but who knows seems like they close together so that might be it. But yeah man they look real real good. Deuces!!

Yeah, the cuttings were put into flower earlier then I would have preferred due to wanting to have some of mine own bud to smoke on 420.

So it's been 23 days since the switch over. I've been satisfied with the progression of the plants in the hope that I will have some smoke for 420 and that seems within reach.

I've also been thinking about moving from soil to soiless for my next grow since I got the aeroponic propagator the other day. The clones have yet to root but it's only been a few days. Due to certain restrictions the only choices for a hydroponic system would be a Bubbler (DWC) or a drip system. I've been looking at DWC and it is seems perfect for me. Would anyone advise against? I feel confident enough that I could happily control the enviroment and Ph levels accordingly.

Anyway I thought i'd update the thread with some pictures as I was feeding them today.It appears as though they are drinking through a 2 Litre feeding every 2 days at the moment.

Feeding them the following:
10 ml Terra Flores
3 ml PK 13/14
5 ml Canna Booster
5 ml Cannazym

per plant per feeding (2 Litres).

Again the first 5 pictures are of the 4 OG x WW clones vegged under a 110w CFL for 8 weeks. The bottom 5 pictures are of 4 OG x WW clones that were vegged under a 600w MH bulb for 4 weeks.

Any comments appreciated.

I have to say this strain is an absolute treat! The aroma alone is unique and very attractive. The stone is a strong couchlock which makes time fly, and you are most certainly enjoying yourself.

ok it came out a random order.

Picture 7 is the 4 MH clones all together.
Picture 10 is the 4 CFL clones all together.

Hey there, little update on the girls.

Same setup as before, first photo is the 4 clones under a CFL, last photo is 4 clones under a MH. Feeding schedule is the same as before regarding the nutrients. They are starting to drink up the juice a lot faster though.



I am enjoying the look of the canopy of the MH clones, hopefully it stays even.
Thanks for looking, any comments appreciated.

Hey there guys, little update for you.

So it's been 34 days since 12/12, approaching the end of week 5. The plants are looking good, one has a small magnesium deficiency which I am unable to treat at the moment because I have no money but if anyone has an idea of how to treat it without spending a penny please let me know!

Anyway, the cuttings I took have started to root finally, a little later then I hoped for so I opted to plant some seeds as back up because of time constraints. I am hoping to attempt a DWC grow with these cuttings/seedlings.

Anyway for the pictures!

The CFL vegged clones:




And the MH vegged clones:




You can't see it to well because my camera is terrible but the bud sites are really getting frosty!

Comments appreciated.

So after the issues I had with a mg deficiency I decided to flush the plants out.

Here they are today, CFL Clones:





MH Clones:



Thanks for looking.

So, I have trimmed down the ladies lower branches, 8-9 oz's going into curing stage. I'm expecting that to drop down to a solid 6.5-7.5 oz's fully cured and dry. I Also got 1.5g's of honey (hash oil) of the lower branch trim which is pretty potent.

All of the flowering plants have now been moved into one tent to finish of the rest of the bud sites which should be done within a week or so looking to get more of a couch lock high from the second half of the batch.

Will be doing some clearing up and putting the clones into the new tent under a 600w MH with the mother plant to veg them for about a week and then they will be starting the flowering cycle around the 22nd. I've decided to go against changing the system this time round as it has produced some tasty buds already.

Anyway, if I had a better camera i'd get some better pictures but here are the lower down buds:

Looks good! +Rep..Check on your camera under the menu and see if you have a setting for "Macro" and try pics that way and they will be better and clearer

Thanks, sadly i'm using a camera which is on a phone and it doesn't have a macro option. No worries though, thanks for the rep. Got a busy couple days ahead of me but come 420, i'll be relaxing.

Thanks, the smokes nice! Can't wait for the rest of the plant to finish!

Your plants in the dwc setup look nice, I was tempted to take up the DWC set up but i've got costs to consider so might do that next time round.

Well all of the ladies are down. Chopped and dried. After getting a solid 7 oz's from the early cut I chopped down and over 11 oz's dried from the rest of the bud left to mature.

A total of around 18 Oz's Dried weight.

And for a few pictures:

Well I have now had to put the clones into flower, although they are quite small sadly. I will update with photos later.
