Howdy all, i have an outdoor journal going ( First grow in 1/4 century), but I am finally starting my indoor grow. I will have a ton more photos showing everything in more detail after this coming weekend. I decided to journal this grow after I'd already left and traveled back home. So i only have a few shots of the plants and several clones that i made from my first attempt on cloning from my outdoor garden from a couple of weeks ago. Some will be mothers and others will get vegged slowly and replace the bubba kush/skunks that are in veg now and hopefully flowered around the 20th of August.
So here is what we have going.
Plants are 3 bubba kush/skunk cross clones from my collective. The cuttings were taken on 6-14 and i got them on 7-30 and they were transplanted that evening and are now under the lights at 18/6. I presoaked the soil with 1 qt of my tea mix with 10 mils of No Shock to a gallon of water and drained off the excess. They will be fed RO water and once a week with 1 tsps of molasses added to the water. I will probably hit em with a lighttea couple of times before flower
I need to get a little wet/dry shop vac i think!!!
Soil grow in 3 gal pots.
Organic Roots 707 60-65%
Organic Roots worm castings, 15%
Perlite, 20-25%
After following Docbuds threads, i've decided to try his osmocote plus CRF nutes. I sure hope i get 1/2 the results he does. I used 2 TBSP's per gallon of soil so each pot has 6 tbsps of crt in them.
The lights are 3 Spectra 290w LEDs. and the little growing area is a closet that is 39" deep by 74" wide with and 8' ceiling. The lights are hung down from a cross beam that is about 7' off the floor.
Back to the plants, this is going to be an indica dominant grow. I have to remember to pull these plants out and get them in some normal lighting to take pics so you can see more than pink/purple light.
I will hopefully be supplementing the CRF food with a tea of worm castings, molasses, sugar and a small amount of N2 bat guano.
I set up an RO unit and have two water tanks, 1 for the tea, 25 gal (set up to hold about 16 gals of tea and a 35 gal unit that will just be clean RO water so i can mix the two. This tea is also getting used on my outdoor garden as well.
Again, apologies for the lack of picts to start but i will have shots of everything over the weekend with a nice update when i get back Sunday the 7th.
The closet is in a 12' x 14' bedroom that i installed a floor mount AC unit to help control temps and stir the air up. The room has house AC already but that closet gets warm and with the addition of the floor unit, i can maintain about 80-81 in the day and its around 70 at night. RH is 35-42% day and night. Think that is a little dry? I have a couple of small fans blowing across the tops of the LEDs for now and 1 larger fan on the floor in the corner of the closet that blows behind the containers. The room AC unit is blowing its air towards the closet door.
Here are a few picts of the bubba/kush-skunks and also my little cuttings i cloned, of which i know 9 are rooted, 1 seems to be dying and the other 4 cuttings i just took on 7-29 last week. They seem ok so far.
Here are a couple of not so great picts of the bubba skunk plants.
Here are my little cuttings/clones that i took over the past two weeks.
I need to update my outdoor journal now. Will post over the weekend with many picts of the lights, plants, watering system, even my T5 for clones rooting. etc.
Please feel free to comment, bash, extend a helping hand.
Oh, on my tea that i am brewing, here is the recipe i am using for vegging and how I am agitating it.
15/16 gals water
4 cups worm castings
1/2 cup N2 bat guano
1 cup molasses
1 1/2 cups sugar
this all sits in a 25 gal rubbermaid tub with a lid. I have 2 airstones bubbling in it 24/7 and also a 130gph submersible pump that sits in it and runs 24/7 as well. I let it go for 48 hours before using and then add back and refill with the RO water.
Does that seems ok?? and also, since i have 3 outdoor plants that are getting ready to flower, i was thinking of making the same tea but using high P guano to replace the N2 guano. feed back always appreciated.
