Ok, so I'm a stage 4 cancer survivor thanks to the blessings of God, especially the blessing of cannabis and RSO therapy! From stage 4 to completely clean in 3 months (half a chemo treatment).
I still continue to use this miracle medicine on a daily basis for a myriad of reasons from ptsd anxiety control to nausea and just general "I'm an asshole"ness .
So as the family and I recently bought a new, larger, home I figured why not try my hand at growing. Maybe even save a few bucks over buying from dispensaries..... Boy was that wrong lol. But still, I use to grow pot with my dad for a short while in H.S. 30yrs ago and they are some of my fondest memories. Maybe we can get back some of that tranquility the garden use to bring. Here we go .
So my idea was to setup a rotating cycle of veg and flower like my father did. One "room" for each, but since I don't have that much spare room for a hobby I came up with the bright idea of putting two 4x4 tents inside of a 10x10 "lung" room kept at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 60% rh. Then whenever one of the 4x4s got too hot or humid the exhaust for it could kick on to get rid of the heat while passively drawing cool lung room air in through the bottom mesh gates. And I honestly thought this was original lol. Found out differently.
My first mistake was buying a cheap ship from China 10x10. I bought a ipower tent. Friggin crap. Don't buy em lol. At the time though it's all I could find in stock anywhere including online so I risked it. My 4x4s will be gorilla grow and I'm looking at a Silverback tent by agromax to replace the 10x10. Actually ordered the first gorilla 4x4 along with the led to go in it from ledlightdepot.com 2 days ago. Went with a growers choice roi-e680. Got my eye on that new raging kush 2.0 from Scynce led though. Woulda got it but there's a 2 month pre-order right now.
I'm also growing in promix bx, using fox farm line up listed on there soil feeding schedule. I have a quality ec pen, ph pen and installed a r.o. filtration system. I even ran two new 20 amp circuits to the ceiling above my tent for independent power. Hopefully that's enough.
And now that everyone knows "the plan", here's the first ladies .
Age: 1wk
Temp: 85f
RH: 80%
Light cycle: 24hrs
Germinated in ph'd ro water with clonex.
The 4 on the left are feminized strawberry cough. The right, chocolope. Both purchased from ilgm.com As you can see, unfortunately one of the sc failed to germinate altogether and another wasn't strong enough to shed its shell and came out somewhat conjoined. It failed to do anything more. Ilgm did make it right with me. They gave me a code for 130 bucks off my next order. The chocolope all sprouted.
Age: 2wks
Temp: 75f
RH: 65%
Light cycle: 18hrs
Transplanted my cubes today! Unfortunately broke one of the chocolope. But still 5 left and they look healthy. Under a t5 I got on marketplace while I wait for shipping. 18hr cycle.
That's the end of this one folks. Next week, same bat time, same bat channel .
