Second Home Budget Micro Grow

Lagged

Well-Known Member
Hey all,

We wanted to document/share the progress with the current grow with everyone! This is our second grow with the current setup. We've been learning TONS along the way and having fun while doing so. Feel free to ask questions / comment.

We just transplanted these babies last night. They are already taking very well to their new homes!

We are continuing to do experiments in our grows to determine the best method for our given space. That is why you see a bunch of different plant pot sizes and different soils.

We've just entered our veg phase here. The plan is to give them 3-4 weeks of veg (we staggered our seedlings to achieve this simultaneously) and then send them straight into flowering.

Here's what we have so far!

Update: Mainlined a few, topped a few, lst a few. Added some wattage and put them on a 10:4:6, they were a tad starved of nitrogen before.

After 4 full weeks of flower, here is what we have. Had a little run in with the gnats - just added some nematodes today.

Looks nice.
I enjoy all the prep n training methods.
Kinda went through the same experiments myself.
Take into consideration the shock/delay times after applying training, prolonging the grow.
Vegging just enough to fill the space w no training or defoliation, is easiest for me.
Sog style with a screen or a few layers of screens.
Just find the right mom to clone.
You have lots to choose from.
 
Looks nice / what lighting are you using?
Thanks man!

We have some half assed home-made lighting for this run lol I think we have 25x Ecosmart 19.5w 1650lumens spectrum changing bulbs plus a cob thrown in there lol. It's really a mess but it works!

Thanks for your reply!

We really fell in love with the mainlining method after this run. We have 2x Mars Hydro TSL 2000's on the way, as well as some Bruce Banner, Black Widow, and Skywalker OG fem'd seeds on the way. Also, we will be getting some premium soil (ffog or promix) for the next run (this was bag shit from homedepot)

Our goal is to mainline scrog the entire 4x4 area. We're really excited considering what we've grown with current conditions

Cool - I have experience with budget grows as well, I can attest you can get some decent yield from a less than ideal lighting set up
 
After 7.5 weeks
