High there & Welcome to my next journal. As the title states this is my 13th grow of all time. It will be a grow of 5 different OG strains.
Right now I'm what I call in my prepping stage for this grow. The actual grow will start this Sunday when I sew my seeds.
So to get things started here are the 5 strains I'll be growing. (Skywalker OG / Fire OG / OG Kush / OG-1 / Super Silver Haze OG)
I start my grows in 1 gallon plastic pots & I use Fox Farms Ocean Forest straight from the bag.
I use Pie Pans with 8" plastic tray liners for my drain pans & these small wire racks to hold the plants above the pans. I keep 1 extra pan so I can switch out the one filled with run off after I feed.
At this time I fill my pots with FFOF. I only fill to about 1.5" below the top of the pot. That way I have room to add soil if roots come up to the top or it stretches too much.
After I've done this I water my pots down. I use straight tap water without pH-ing or waiting 24 hours. I pour 2 - 12 oz. cups through each pot & let it drain. Once drained I lightly pack my soil down & level it out.
Tomorrow I will put 2 - 12 oz. cups of pHd' water through each pot that has sat out for 24 hours. After that the pots just sit till I plant the seeds.
If you wonder why I do all this I guess it's because I'm superstitious. I've had some pretty good luck planting my seeds straight in soil doing it this way.... so why ruin a good thing.... right ?
Anyway, I haven't decided on my Veg / Bloom light as of yet or which nutrients I'll use. I do have everything I need to do this grow; but I thought I'd @ a bunch of
sponsors & see if they want to sponsor a grow. Can't hurt to ask.
But I will be germinating with a Spider Farmer 1000D 120 watt LED. It's suppose to arrive tomorrow by Fed-X.
Since my 3x3 Germination tent is tied up at the time with a Do-Si-Dos SCROG grow I am converting a small closet into a germ. area. I'll have that ready to roll tomorrow & I'll post pics then.
I'll be tagging everyone on Sunday when I sew my seeds. I will go ahead & tag the
sponsors today to see if any are interested.
Thanks all & I hope to have you along for the journey !
