Hey Everyone!
to my 1st grow ever. Thanks for taking a look. I am open to any advice as I am new to all of this.
Currently my super soil is cooking. Take a look at what I have put together and let me know what you think. I found this mix on a few websites so I’m not sure who to thank for it. Its not an exact replica of the original recipe, but its what I could come up with what I could get my hands on.
The seedlings after germination will be placed in their pot they will be in from start to finish. The soil will be set up as follows: Top 3 ½” layer of plain organic potting mix, 2nd 3 ½” layer of mixed starter soil, the rest will be the filled with the super soil mix.
Starter soil mixed: 3/23/14
• 2lbs potting mix
• 2lbs mushroom compost
• 1oz bat guano
• Pinch of DE
• 1oz Kelp
• 4oz worm casting
• 3oz perlite
Super Soil mixed: 3/23/14
• 22lbs Nature’s Way organic potting mix(
• 12lbs Sublime Farms organic Mushroom compost(
• 120oz worm castings
• 280g(10oz) blood meal (12-0-0)(
• 280g bone meal (6-8-0)(
• 428g (15oz) bat guano (0-10-0)(
• 1oz(1/8cup) lime(
• 1oz(1/8cup) azomite(
• 1 tbsp. humic acid(
• 2.5lbs organic perlite
• 280g organic kelp
• 1 tbsp. quartz dust
• 2 tbsp. organic DE
• 11 liters spring water
• 1oz Mycorrhiza fungi added 4/2/14
Grow Box: built 2/2014
I built this grow box out of an old TV cabinet I found. I converted it to a 38"22"x58" closet. I installed a Mars II 900w LED from top led, a mini 7 1/2" oscillating fan and a 4" hurricane exhaust fan w/ 8x16"carbon filter kit from growtents.com, and a 4' LED tri band full spectrum strip light for a side light. I cut a 20"x12" hole at the bottom and installed a HEPA a/c air filter to filter incoming air. I have a digital temp and humidity gauge I picked up at a local pet store. I had a bit of a temperature issue so I modified the LED so that I could vent the heat from it right out of box. The current temps are a high of 85F and a low of 74F with humidity ranging from 40%-70%. I know the temp is still a little high, I still have to drop an A/C duct from the ceiling behind the box which should help drop it a couple degrees.
I will wait to germinate the seeds until the super soil is finished cooking. So For now please critique what I have and let me know what other info you need to give me help to grow some banging 1st timer organic green!!!! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you check back later when I get this journal in FULL GROW.
The strains I will be growing are:
Strains:
*(G13 Labs) Blue OG feminized -1 seed-
Product Information-Blue OG
• A cross between a Blueberry F3, Blue Moonshine and a potent Kush/Thai Indica hybrid that has achieved truly legendary status in the USA; OG Kush.
• Its short, very compact stature and very vigorous growth stage make it perfectly adaptable to any size grow room and growing method.
• High resin production begins a few weeks after the start of flowering and, when dried properly, the buds acquire a delicious red berry taste with citrusy hints. This makes it one of the best strains for hash and oil extraction as the results are abundant and the taste and aroma, sublime.
• At almost never more than 8 weeks, flowering is quick, making it also highly suited for outdoor growing in climes that require early cropping.
• Type: Mostly Indica
Flowering: Photoperiod
Height: Medium
Area: Indoor & Outdoor
Genetics: Blue Moonshine x OG Kush
*(Paradise) Jacky White feminized -1 seed-
Product Information-Jacky White
• For a remarkable indoor harvest of up to 600g per square meter under a 600-watt high-pressure sodium light you won’t do better than Jacky White.
The hardiness also means an even better yield when grown outside as you would expect but you must have a moderate to sunny climate.
Jacky White is a Sativa dominant hybrid which means that she grows like a Sativa although she has also retained the best of the Indica’s virtues including a fast finish and an easy to grow plant. This ancestry also means that Jacky White will give you a Sativa stone mixed with a bit of Indica to smooth out the speed of a pure Sativa high – lucid and cerebral with a lovely body buzz, the stone lasts.
Stability, high yield, fast finish and stability are all great attributed belonging to Jacky White and when the plants grow you will find that there are only slight variations amongst them. The plants also like to branch so will do best in a set up that allows for extra space for side branch development. You can also try bending or pruning to increase the yield and for the full flowering time Jacky White will give off a scent of grapefruit so that’s sixty days of scent plus loads of stocky colas that glitterwith resin. Add to all that the luxurious haze-citrus taste and there’s nothing more you could add to this wonderful smoke.
• Type: Sativa/Indica (75/25)
Flowering time: 60 days indoors. Outdoors, middle of October (n.L.)
Yield: 500+ grams per m2 indoors. Outdoors 600+ grams per plant
Environment: Indoors. Outdoors between 50 n.L. and 50 s.L.
Effect /Buzz: Soft cerebral pleasant
Smell/Taste: Grapefruit
THC: 15-18%
Both were purchased from The Single Seed Center
*The Purps feminized -3 seeds
First Place Strain Of The Year and a Perennial BC Bud Depot Cannabis Cup
