BoriBoi's massive hydro grow journal pt2

Today I have 4 seeds cracked and like 5 others un-cracked.


this time around we will be trying something a li'l different. in my last journal I accomplished

• Low stress training
• cloning
• successful hydroponics setup
• Maintaining a large group of plants for over a couple weeks

So I still have to accomplish

• breeding
• fem seeds
• purple coloring

And new goals I want to accomplish are

• Mother or bonsai plants
• recurring harvest every month or two

New changes I made were moving the lights u can see in pics below. I call it the Elevator of lights the hps being at the top and cfls right below it make great light spread from every corner of the cab making the light mixture and intensity greater and more efficient for the whole performance of the lights. So stick around again

Once again bagseed i had saved from last year still viable so thats a good thing they are all the same strain i think too.

before




after hps at the very top lil grey thing

Date. Nov. 27
Stage. Germed
Temp. Donno? yet just turned on the lights should be 80F
Ppm. 200
Ph. 6.0

24hrs later they have cracked germed yesterday! In the flower cab under cfls. the reason being to have them bush out later on to produce side nodes we need to put them under cfls. If i were to put them under the two fluros the would be lanky and tall i need stalky plants with lots of vigours growth from the nodes. This time I will only be using these plants as mothers and maybe if i get one father to use for pollen other than that these plants will only see 24hr lighting.

Dude I wish u luck, u sure are determined, I hope you get sum chronic dank green knarly thick buds dude. Peace out.

thanks dude not so much detemined just ran into problems...I wasnt gonna give up cause I got all males,Iv grown before and got females so I just started fresh and trying again thats all hopefully I get to start and continue a new strain

Im back on my homemade hydro nutrents lol saw some more info on the net google is so fucking awsome this is for when u run out of bc products cause im broke again lol so sad i hope i find another job

Make your own hydro nutrient

OK here i go!
First start with some 20,20,20 All purpose plant food
the only thing that is missing from the Plant food you find at Walmart is

MG, Sulphur,and Calcium so what do u do hummm

for Mg and Sulphur add 1/2 tps of Epsom salt to one gallon of plant food solve that problem
and for Calcium u can add dolomite lime, Calcium nitrate, or Chalk im going to use chalk its the esiest to find
jus mush it up and at 1/4 tps to one gallon of epsom salt and plant food! im not paying for that when u can save and make it urself if u want the the calcium nitrate just go to amazon type it in its 5 bucks have them ship it out and their make your own!!!! this is for vegg I will soon add the flowering recipe btw chalk is slow releasing but it will be fine


Regular store brought Fets Contain this which is fine! You will find the exact same in high price hydro fertz. Only thing Store brought contains a lil more which is fine I use it all the time i did in my last grow!

Merical Grow or Pete's all purpose fertz!! contain below!

Potash20%


Nitrogen20%


Phosphoric Acid20%


Boron.05%


Copper.05%


Iron.2%


Manganese.05%


Molybdenum.0005%


Zinc.05%


Your Adding!
1/4 tps per gallon

Calcium5%(make sure u stir in chalk or dolomite lime really good! Calcium nitrate is a salt so it disolves fast like the others!)
1/2 tps per gallon

Magnesium1%(epsom salt)


Sulphur2%(epsom salt)

So much for buying miracle grow potting mix and poppin in a seed huh ?? Oh well it works for me. I add fert only after 4 weeks flowering. But if u r after perfection ok lets do it. When u get those knarly dank stinky buds picked be sure to upload sum pics and ill do da same. Peace out.

YOu get a A+ for effort for sure my friend. Be careful Im sure you prolly know this already but thought I would mention it just in case..normally in agriculture, chalk is used to raise the PH level....

Also you dont need cfl's to get good bushy plants, you just need to make sure the light source is very close and of the correct spectrum and wattage per square foot and how many plants you have...if you have a HPS on hand you would be much better off using it durring veg as close as you can get it to the plants without burning them. Then use the cfl's to add to the HPS or help it. Just my opinion though ..and you know what those are like.....

Good luck!
Peace!

youll have better luck this time

thanks for the advice...but chalk desloves in ph lower than 6.5 it is a base but it will deslove. Actully cfls do a better job at bushing a plant out during veg then a hps, hps streches plants so does fluros i dont need that. Iv had a plant under hps bush out instantly the next week under the cfls the also stay short too.

thanks i hope so

I grow in soil but Im thinkin of buying a hydro setup for xmas, which one works best ?? Hmmm I like growin in soil but its kinda a hassle indoors, sneakin the dirt in and out in my apt lol. But they say soil is a lil more tastier and stonier. Should I just go hydro or is soil worth the hassle, For my tomatoes lmao heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Just wait till I move out into a house with more room.

hydroton is like soil less messy but a pain when spilled its ur choice

i hope you make it all the way this time..good luck and may you smoke the bomb you grow..

nice so far, i thought you had to germ and grow a sprout in darkness?

check out my grow in my sig BoriBoi, how do i subscribe to this thread?

damn dude , where the fuck are you ?

I give u props for ur persistance, but u need to update this asap I cant wait to see how much they've grown
