2nd Grow Journal!! TGA Strains & A Few Others. Take A Look.

i will post pics about every 7-10 days, or more if i find time. i have started germinating 11 Plushberry seeds, 10 Space Bomb seeds, 7 Jack The Rippers, 5 Mau-Mau, 1 Mk Ultra Feminized and 1 Sour Diesel bag seed i just found today in a bud. the MK Ultra is already showing tap root so i put her in a little cube of Fox Farm Light Warrior Seed Starter. im not a fan of FF, but i have heard nothing but good things bout most of their products. so i figured id give it a shot. i was using Sunshine Mix Advanced #4 and im not liking it at all towards the end. so i have decided to switch to Roots Organic's 707 blend. either that or the regular blend of RO. eventually i will be in Subcool's Super Soil medium. i am trying to stay far far away from synthetic nutes, however i am using Botanicare atm. this will be my 4th grow. i am starting the seedlings under a 4ft/4 bulb High Output Florescent. i have a Botanicare 24"x44" Botanicare tray and will veg them until they are roughly 12"-16" tall. i am using R/O water. i have 2 tents. 1 4x4 with 1000w for veg. and a 4x8 with 2 1000w lights. assuming that my houses electrical can handle all this. technically i have not set up the flower room yet. that is still a work in progress. but the rest is already to go!!

2 of the Jack The Rippers i germinated and have been growing for over a week now. they are in their 9th day and on their 4th set of leafs already. i iwll post pics soon. i started those in 16oz red Solo cups. they are under the HO Florescent. so far they look good, except the smaller one looks like it may need some nutes already.

i am open to input and positive criticism, but i do not take too kindly to negativity and people who can take the time to post, but not take the time to read. so please. this is mostly a reference for myself, but as im doing it in a public forum, anyone is free to wander in. anyone who wants to follow is more then welcome to. and welcome to my journal!

so i take it a lot of posts got fucked form the hijacking this week? fuck THAT SHIT!! lucky for me i hand write down my notes before putting them on this thread. shitty none the less!!

so where are they man!!!!

the pics or my notes? gone form the hijacking. and i been super super super busy. maybe this week i will update. i have itty bitty little nuglets growing as i type this. i just flipped them into flower about 13 days ago. they are all looking great!! luckily after all the bullshit i went through getting set up the yield is worth it. i would be extremely happy with 2g per watt. and i really do that is achievable. at least 1.5g per watt. next grow if not this one will be for sure! i started out with over 30 seeds. ended up with 18 females. i think that is decent. i suppose it could be a tad better. i had closer to 40 seeds i think maybe 36 to be exact. i had 1 Jack The Ripper triumph the entire grow. shes a beauty. sitting all kinds of pretty at 30" tall and in here 7gal container. i expect at least 6-10oz off her. realistically i will get 6-8. but i aim high. i have a few older pics i am uploading. but this journal shit is not my forte. i suck at this shit to but it nicely. so here are a few pics i have took of everyone. there all happy and great! going 50/50 on the nutes next feeding. or may just do a plain water feed instead. i want to keep the salts low, as i rotate plain water feedings with ever other watering so no salts build up, or as little as possible. i do push them rather hard, and may just push them for another 2 weeks then plain water feed. my plants are loving life and here are some. color is shotty, sorry bout that. photography skills are not up to
par. have a look!! thanks for peeking in.

new pics coming soon. on the last feeding about 5 days ago i gave them 50% veg, 50% flower nutes, Liquid Karma 100%, 40% Hydroplex, 100% Sweet (RAW), 50% Hygrozyme 100%, Cal/Mag 100%. i think the pots are a tad bit too heavy too feed tonight. may wait 1 more day for next feeding. next feeding i will be giving them 100% flower nutes and no more veg nutes. as of today they are in there 20 day of flower. tomorrow will be exactly 3 weeks. the Space Bomb claims to be a 45-55 day'er, but i do not see any signs of them coming anlong any faster then the rest. if anything the Plushberry plants look the best so far.

***MENTAL NOTE TO SELF*** never leave plants in more then 24hrs of darkness prior to flower!!!

i will back to do another update either later tonight or early tomorrow.

thanks for watching!!!

All I can say is damn

This is awesome I wish I had that much indoor space to work with

I'm subbed up

-BUD

i had everything going great until i set this tent up. without going into to much detail i had an investor back out last minute. after his ass told me he would invest and after i had popped way more then needed. i luckily found another investor and saved everything. i think i left them in the "total dark period" too long prior to flowering. in fact i know i did. shitty on my end. they stretched in the dark because i left them in the dark period too long. big mistake but had to get the room set up in tip top shape before putting the plants into the new tent.

i appreciate you following. i will get them new pics up tonight. and feeding. should have this morning before lights went off, but didn't.

***FEEDING SCHEDULE AS OF 5/2/2012***
Botanicare Full Line:
Pro Soil 20ml.
Liquid Karma 15ml.
Hydroplex 5ml.
Sweet-Raw 15ml.
Hygrozyme 10ml.
Cal/Mag 5ml
pH UP - depends on the ph.

i usually mix up 20 gallons at a time and toss the unused portion. i should be checking ppm's. but i still need a reliable system to base nutrients off ppm's. i usually am good about predicting yield, and im guessing about 50-100g per plant. had i spaced them out a little more im sure i could have pulled a lot more. had i not left them in total darkness prior to flower im sure they sould be denser and shorter. it bugs me things were going so good in veg. no nute lockout, or def. everything was going so good until the investor backed out. but my other buddy came through and saved the day!!! i really don't think at this point the Space Bomb's will be done in 45-55 days though.

i hope to get many more watchers. so i will try my best to keep this updated on a daily bases from here on out. my hand written notes kinda took a dive about 2-3 weeks ago.

slacked on taking pics. but i have a few from the other day. here they are. nothing too special, imo...
