3000w Multi Strain Medical Grow!! Soil ScroG, Waterfarms, DWC

Hello all, and welcome to my new grow journal!! I'm really excited to be starting this, although I put it off for a bit.

For any who haven't seen, here's a bit about my last grow:

2x600w scrog in a 3x8 cab
Strains: 1 Purple Kush, 2 Super Silver Haze, 4 Strawberry Cough
Total yield: 13.9oz dry
I ran into one problem after another in that grow (just take a look at the journal :dunce:). I finally figured out that a major problem is the acidity of FFOF, but the damage had already been done to those plants. I'm extremely happy to walk away with a very successful yield, and all the bud turned out great (minus one of four strawberry plants that was all popcorn bud). So after many lessons learned and an expansion into an additional room, I'm starting a journal, hopefully I update it a little more often than the last. I think I will, as it will be a muuuch more exciting journal. So the basics of my new 3000w multi-strain, multi-system grow.

2x600w + 1x105w cfl in the same 3x8 cab, screen installed is 3x10=30sq ft of screen. My goal from this cab is 32 oz, and would like to improve, or at least maintain, the quality of my previous harvest.
- I have 3 of each: Platinum OG, Purple Kush, Super Lemon Haze, from left to right in the cab.
- FoxFarm OF/HF + perlite, lime
- Foxfarm nutrient trio


1400w (1x600; 2x400) in a 5x10 tent. Again, I'd like to focus on quality, as this is for medicinal purposes, though I would like to get a similar yield out of this tent.
- Waterfarm 8 pack with Tahoe OG; Dyna-Gro line: Grow, Bloom, Mag-pro, Pro-tekt; h2o2
- 2 individual diy dwc buckets: 1 SLH, 1 still TBD from attitudes "lucky 7" promo. Suggestions?
- These 2 plants will use the free nutes I got with the waterfarm(not enough for a full run of tahoe og and I don't want to buy more)


Veg tent is set up with ~280w, and as of right now is a just bunch of clones and one Platinum OG mother. I built a bubble cloner (interchangeable with dwc lids too) and bought a 32 site aerocloner. The aerocloner so far has given me one plant with roots. 7 of these cuts were taken 4 weeks ago, and 10 others were taken 9 days ago, also with no sign of roots. pH is 5.6-6.0,water temp 65.5-70.0, air temp 65-75, 1tsp/gal hormex, 1ml h2o2, ppm around 250 from tap, 270 treated. Any ideas why only one plant has roots, even though it was taken from the same plant at the same time in the same method as six others that have done nothing?

Again, welcome and feel free to comment, critique, ask questions, or just shoot the shit throughout the course of the thread, as long as it remains grow oriented. My knowledge has come almost entirely from following journals and just reading on this forum, and I hope this can be informative for myself and any other readers. :leaf:Alright, on with it!!

Last harvest:

A couple improvements since last run:
Controlled temps!!! Oscillating fan + box fan underneath; Another canopy fan + 105w cfl

Interesting set up. Very unique.

Looks like you got some quality nug off your last grow. Hope I can do the same and looking forward to seeing the outcome.

Cant wait to see those healthy clones!
Just got em in today, excited to see it get kickin in here!! Cool guys at PO too. Got a free tahoe, so now I have a mother. I'd go there again but I'm waiting on an order from attitude: Vanilla Kush, Sour Cream, Moby Dick, and the lucky 7 promo. So I'm set for a while.


DAAAAAAAYUUUUMMMM!!!! ROCKIN IT!!! that dual 600 cab is SICK, sooooo very nice... LOOKS VERY GOOD, bro im subbed for sure!! wanna watch this 2x600 scrog.... sooo fat!!!!!
Thanks bro, glad to have you along. I'm excited for the cab, I think I got it dialed in and with no problems should be able to have a pretty intense carpet of bud goin on.

sweet setup im subbed
Thanks, enjoy, and wish me luck!!

Not much to update today besides the clones being in the waterfarm. I trimmed under the canopy, I think I'm gonna do a final trim in a couple more days, hopefully flip to 12/12 sometime next week.

platinum og was one of those strains, for me at least, that you just remember over the years haha

but i have yet to smoke tahoe... a lot of people swear that its the strongest og strain out there, im finally goin to get some seeds of it and select a good mom this year.

forgot to add, your ssh and strawberry was lookin real good too bro!! how long did the ssh take to finish?

I think it ended up being about 70 days. Faster than the strawberry, and it's my favorite of the 3 as of right now. Taste is so sweet and smooth, great functioning high too.

Plants seem to have taken, though I think I originally put the ppm a bit high at 475. I found it the next day at 500, adjusted to 450, rose again to 475, adjusted to 400 this morning. pH was set at 5.5, rose to 6.25, adjusted to 5.7, rose to 6.2, adjusted to 5.9. The leaves are getting some twisting/curling, typical ram's horn look. Pics will come in a day or two, updates of the ScroG coming too.

5 Vanilla Kush - I plan on running these, along with the Platinum, in my ScroG cab after the current grow. I may also mother the OG Kush seed to eventually replace the Platinum. I'm going to germ Dinafem's Critical + Auto and Eva's Veneno within a week or so, to grow out in the DWC buckets. These are my least favorite picks of the group and as much as it sucks to germ the seeds I care least about, I want to make sure I can successfully grow from seed before I risk the ones I do care about. Anyone grown these out before?

Just a quick update of what's up in the cab. I trimmed the undergrowth a bit, right after taking these pictures. I'm thinking another 7 days before the flip. I'm really just waiting on the Platinum OG's to fill in a bit more. I plan to trim the undergrowth again the day before I flip, assuming that after a day of recovery the plant will be ready to shoot into even more aggressive growth. It's almost that time!!

Alright mofo's and noshow's, first, a jam to browse to. (If I post it, just listen...your ears will thank me:leaf:)

Now that you have some awesome tunes happening, here's where I'm at in the gardens.

Tahoe OG ladies are on veg day 12, they're growing exponentially now. I didn't get a pic, but I have my first root showing through the bottom of the grow chamber, and it's already about 6" into the water below.

I soaked Eva's Veneno and Dinafem's Critical +Auto last night, dropped them into rockwool today.

The exciting part, at least for now, is still the ScroG cab. I trimmed, trained, and flipped to 12/12. I don't count today as day 1 of flower though, as I worked on and off for about 3 hours of the dark period.












The SLH are really filling in the top of the screen.


And I wouldn't leave you without another upskirt or two. This was after trimming most of what I needed to, that canopy has really filled in well.
