First grow journal, T5HO 216 watt.

Left and right smaller ones are Bodhi Dream Lotus, middle is an Afghan x White Widow.


Just switched to 12/12 on 1/7, everything is going good so far despite deficiency issues I had earlier with the bigger girl due to ph problems I'm pretty sure.

Strains
2 x Bodhi Dream Lotus
1 x Afghan x White Widow (freebie)
I Also got some Bodhi Goji OG I'll be using next run.

Nutes
GH Grow, Micro & Bloom, GH CALiMAGic and GH Rapid Start. Water is currently at a ppm of about 900, been on top of my ph now consistently staying at 5.8. Planning on getting an R.O. system this weekend or next so I don't have to keep on top of the ph so much.

Humidity/Temp
45-55%, depends on how often I keep my humidifiers full, I have two 1.2 gallon ones. Doing all this in a 5 x 5 x 6 sauna room, so humidity has been pretty cooperative throughout this grow.

Temp has been staying at a high of 73 F since I've switched to 12/12 and a low of 65 F.

Gear
216 watt T5HO from the home depot
2 x 4 tray with over flow fittings hook up to the res underneath.
Phresh filter
Hurricane inline fan
Two 1.2 gal humidifiers
Two wall mounted fans
Mylar
7" x 7" Rockwool

Both Dream Lotus plants appear to be females and the Afghan x White Widow was feminized, the DL are at about 11 inches and A X WW is a littler over 17 inches. Will be updating once a week, would appreciate positive criticism. Constantly learning more and more almost everyday because of this site and hands on experience. I've been around cultivation for years now but this is my first go at it alone. Will be upgrading to a 600 watt soon to have the room pictured as a dedicated a 12/12, then the walk in room to the sauna room with be 24/7 with the 216 T5. (That room will eventually have the 600w) I was going to go another direction with the grow in the beginning with the clay pebbles but now they mostly just sit there, had to put some on top of my RW for the A X WW, her roots were pushing through the top all over

Thanks for taking a look and for any comments/suggestions to come

Oh duhh, forgot to mention I'm using an Ebb n Flow system.

Nice set up dude. I'm subbed!

Thanks buddy! Wish I could have waited to flip to 12/12 with the Dream lotus but was too impatient lol. Once I get two rooms going I should be able to keep my composure

Bought some GH FloraNectar Grape today, curious to see how it will affect the final bud taste/smell. Going to do a control water and feed two of the three plants it throughout the rest of the grow.

So unfortunately one turned out to be a male, down to just two girls now.



Gotta nice peek at the root grown though.

Day 13
Not a whole lot to update, A x WW is about 25-26 inches tall, DL catching up at around 21 inches. Been keeping the nute ppm at around 1,100 still. Paranoid of going too high. Might try upping it though in the next week or so. Going to add a 6 bulb T5 in the next week or so, ordering the Quantum Bad Boy. Buying 6 bloom bulbs and 4 grow bulbs, then separating the to light units to designated veg/flower rooms.

Day 21
Nutes currently at 1350 ppm, about to up it to 1600 starting tomorrow.

Nope T5s.

Added an 8 Bulb 432 watt T5 the other day, now I can start the seedlings in another room with the 216 watt. 8 Bulb has a mix of 4 3000k and 4 6500k, 216 watter has 4 6500k bulbs. Started germinating 3 Bodhi Dream Lotus and 3 Bodhi Goji OG last night. AxWW/DL are now at 1600 ppm.

ah right on man looking good

Thanks budday

Looks fantastic subscribed.

Glad to see I have a few followers now, wish I could change my thread title to 648 watt grow instead of 216.. Oh well.

New seedlings are sprouting under the 216 watt T5.

Will be giving the girls 1600ppm for the next two weeks or so then will do a 2 week flush before harvest.

Constructed a small tent for the seedlings, trying to drop the temp to low 60s, didn't want the light coming from them screwing up opening up the flower room to drop temps. Temps are getting down to about 63, going to try and add a fan in hopes that it'll get it to 60/61. If not a cold week here would do it. 4 in the back are Bodhi Dream Lotus, front 4 are Bodhi Goji OG.



And then we have this lil seedling, its been like that for 3 days. Little worried that it wont straighten out, guess I'll just have to wait and see. Going to get a SCROG going once the girls in the flower room are harvested. Hoping for 5 or 6 females, might get two scrogs going depending on the seedling outcome.

Day 35

Plants doing just fine, still at 1600 ppm. Orange hairs are starting to come out of both plants, mostly the A x WW. Smell is really starting to take over, I can still smell it shortly after I leave. Excited for them to really start swelling New seedlings are doing just fine, feeding them with RO water with Superthrive and Cal/Mag @ a ppm just under 200.
