Started a journal with this, and figured I'd post it here for feedback. Really would like to get some advice from the "Old Heads" on RIU. I've been here bout a year reading my ass off, and now I figure its time to apply what I have learned.
Got my beans from Attitude, showed up in about 7 bizdays (awesome if you ask me). Ordered White Widow fem(ceres seeds), and AfghanKush fem(World of Seeds). Freebies were Blue Mystic, Ice, and Royal Queen #1,all from Royal Queen Seeds, all fem. I was sure I had ordered a photoperiod AFKush, but when they arrived I was shocked to see they were Autoflowers . I had planned on having three mothers: WW,AfK, and whatever freebie I wanted to tryout. Well since the AfK Is an autoflower, that just means I wont have to smoke reg.BS much longer. So the new plan is to have WW, Ice, and Blue Mystic as my three mothers for a perpetual grow. The only thing I am unsure about is the choice between using the lady’s from seed for flowering, while keeping clones for mothers, or what I had originally intended and taking clones from the moms from seed to flower. I know you would normally use a clone to determine sex, but I’m hoping for all to go well with fem. seeds so hopefully there won’t be worry for herms. My intentions are to get KO smoke ASAP. As for the perpetual portion, I want to take 2 clones from all 3 mothers @ 3 weeks of veg from seed , root chamber for 1 week, veg for 1 to 2 weeks and flower for 8. Taking new clones 6 weeks into flower to give them a min. of 1wk RC/1wk Veg. For flowering I am unsure which "style" i want to attempt, I am def. going DWC, and really want to try grow scrog. Problem is my flo. chamber is 32"wide,20" deep, and height is not an issue. Is this enough room to scrog 6 plants. Lastly i was thinking abouttopping for 4 colas,or maybe FIM, is this feasible in scrog? Thanks much for any and all help. Here is my current timeline. I plan to update frequently up to the week I start to flower the clones or moms, then weekly during flower.
