5x5 Tent, 4 Seeds & My First Rooted Cut

Figured I’d start a grow log here of my 5x5 that’s about to start.

~~~ SETUP ~~~

Tent - AC 866 Cloudlab
Light - Mars FC-E8000
Inline Fan - AC 6inch w/ carbon filter
Clip Fans - 3 Hurricanes. Can’t remember the exact size off the top of my head and I lost the boxes lol
Humidifier - 5L cheapo unit off Amazon that has a display showing RH as well as temperature of the mist coming out.
Containers - 4 3.9 Gallon Auto Pots however are I’m probably going to hand water this first run for the sake of being able to baby my clone alongside the beans and then switch to the auto pots for the second cycle.

~~~ NUTRIENTS ~~~

Advanced Nutrients - I am still learning these nutes but I know multiple growers with great success. Plan is to start at 50% strength and the finish off at about 80% strength in comparison to whats

Grow & Bloom - PH perfect Connoisseur A&B; PH adjustments depended on medium at the time.

Additives - B52, Voodoo Juice, Sensi CalMag Xtra, Big Bud Coco (used as a slight PH manipulator. I normally grow in Coco so even if I’m not in Coco I still use this), Bud Candy, Overdrive, & Bud Factor X.

~~~ GENETICS ~~~
I have stuff from the following breeders in terms of seeds. Still undecided what beans I want to run.

Humboldt CSI - TK crosses, Chem 91 crosses, some Bubbas, GSC crosses, couple Pure OG crosses, Ruthless Runtz beans, Obama Kush work, etc. there’s a lot of freebies he’s hooked me up with and it’s been making it very hard to decide what to run.

White Label - couple freebie packs of Runtz, White Rhino, and a supposed Sour cross but I doubt its authenticity since it’s a white label.

~~~ CLONES ~~~

So, as stated before this will be my first time running clones and I wanted to make sure my first one was something I hold special to my heart. She has been verified by users across other forums and I am blessed to have a cut of some of my favorite smoke and really the only version of her genetics I actually like.

Forum Cut Girl Scout Cookies

My goals with her is to veg and take some cuttings, get atleast one rooted cut from her and then flower alongside the other plants. The person I got her from stated his specific cut does well with LST and doesn’t hate light like other cuts. I have pretty decent communication with them and he’s offered me tons of advice on how to get a decent yield off her (for authentic cookies ofc) and maintain healthy cuts. I don’t have the space atm to keep a decent sized mother so cloning each time I veg a new clone and waiting for one or two successful roots before flowering is my best option for now.

~~~ LUNG ROOM ~~~

- 6,000 BTU portable AC for the hotter months.

- Bedroom sized air purifier, mainly to keep dust and micro particles at a minimum during the days I work overtime.

- The room the tent is in has a steam radiator for the fall/winter months but until it gets really cold, I’ll probably just not run my carbon filter and inline fan to keep the temperatures a bit higher for veg. As of now for flower the tent sit at about 69-78 degrees with a RH of 59-65% on

I’ll be sure to post pictures once this run actually gets started and I have a for sure list of the strains I plan to run. Hit me up via DM if you want to discuss things in detail or get to know me better. Always looking for homies to chop it up with and hear other peoples experiences. Cheers!

Different from other forums, I am unable to edit my initial posting so I’ll post a little update here cause some things have changed.

Instead of running the auto pots and a plant count of 4, I ultimately decided on running with a 6 site RDWC made by Gary at PA Hydroponics. It is the 6 plant site ‘STIRPONICS’ system. I made this decision due to the fact auto pots use a very thin tubing to deliver their water and with it being gravity fed, no pump included to keep nutrients mixed in the rez, and a bigger risk to reward, the RDWC just seems like a better choice to avoid possible leaks, clogged tubing, etc. Plus, the RDWC costed me the SAME amount of money as the auto pots bundle I ordered so the APs getting returned this week.

I also made sure to grab the AC infinity cloner for like 80 bucks that had the LEDs built into the dome to house the forum cut and I plan to keep her moist in a solo cup with coco until I can plant the other 5 plants. Not sure if I want to take clones and plant all forum cut clippings in the rdwc or just veg the forum alongside 5 of a different strain. Cheers!

Well, the hydro system came with a cracked 1 inch tubing, I’m going to assume it was damaged during shipping since my box was pretty fucked up. Gonna keep her set aside for the next grow and figure out a way to run 1 inch PVC instead of the tubing.

So, here’s what we got going now since time is of the essence.

3x 5150 Triangle Kush x Chem 91 (Humboldt CSI)
1x Forum Cut Girl Scout Cookies which is the clone on the bottom right. Grown in 70/30 Mother Earth Coco with a little under half dosed nutes mixed for a one gallon jug that will water these girls over the next few days. 200 ppm starting tap water

PH - 6.2
PPM post mixing 520. If the girls don’t like it I’ll throw in some cal mag in a separate jug of water to lower ppm to about 400.

grabbed a cheap 75gal/day AquaticLife RO buddie system that can attach to a standard faucet and will fill 10 gallon cans for mixing nutes once a week when plants are big enough.
