Arctic Bowl's 1st Ever Attempt At A Grow Journal

infiniteJuan said:
I've been doing 20/4 but I'm moving to 18/6; experimentation. Anyone have any experience running autos under 12/12? I have some photo seeds on the way and wondering how all that is going to go down if I only keep my one tent up.

I personally don't grow autos, simply because I prefer to keep moms & clone. I have, however, seen autos grown under every one of the light schedules mentioned in your above post. Autos will grow under any of those schedules. But, IMHO, for maximum yield and quality, get as much light on the buds as possible, for as long as possible.
 
Sorry all, been getting killed at work the last few days. Thanks for coming by and giving us pointers we need all of them. Just got the filter for the 4x8 tent so will get the fan and filter set up tomorrow and get the photos moved over to the big tent. The 4x4 tent is busting at the seems at the moment, way to many plants in it and it sucks to try and care for the plants. Lesson learned for us newbies, don't grow too many plants in a small tent.

Blessed buds our friends and we will be catching up on journals tonight we hope.

What I would do is water them completely. I mean soak them. Throw in some of that boomerang and big bloom. Then you shouldn't have to water for about 4 or 5 days.

LOL! Your grow room looks so clean and neat! It won't remain that way for long! *wicked laugh *.

I just happened on you in Sue's journal, and thought, "Yeah! Another Alaskan!" So, curiosity brought me here. Am reading all the way through, to catch up with you!

Man, just a " for what it's worth" update. We are legal here in Alaska but, the local banks and Credit Unions just told the state Licensed people have until the 17th of this month to close there accounts. They can no longer have a personal bank account if they hold a State lic. In the weed industry. What the hell, I get not allowing a business account with it being federally against the law but, no bank account at all, period? Pretty messed up in my opion, what if they have multipal business lic for federally legal operations? What are the suppose to do? Stupid, typical knee jerk reaction making blanket rules to make all follow. Piss poor in our book.

The only legal solution is for the state to authorize state-run banks. Other legal states do it, as it doesn't make sense to make people carry around thousands of dollars from their store every day. Waaaay too dangerous!

Gotta think outside the Federal banking Industry box, until the Feds get their heads out of their butts and pay attention to the science, and the will of the people.
 
Well thanks for dropping in on us AK, always a pleasure having some Alaskans helping out us newbies :-). Do you get up this way anymore? Our summer sucked this year, rain,rain and more rain. Leaves are turning and falling already but makes it a little better for the hunting, we're hoping to catch a moose and a few caribou this fall but you know how that goes, rivers are way high so lots of log jams to get around to get to the grounds.

So cool of you to stop by and any advise will be greatly appreciated. Hope all is well in your world and Blessed Buds to you AK!! :circle-of-love:
 
Got a few pics of how things are moving along

Well, lights are new and one of the ballest took a dump. It's been stupid busy here and I just haven't had time to mess with it. We did add a humidifier to help with environment, RH was dropping to low so had to do a little addition. I'll get it sorted out today ( so long as my phone doesn't ring lol) and grab some photos. We put the photoperiod girls in the big tent and let the autos stay in the small tent.

Been thinking of doing a post that would show how room environment can be plotted out and how temp affects humidity and stuff like that. Just not sure many people would really be interested in physcrometric charts and how to use them :-).

Blessed Buds our friend, great job on the caps too!

It looks to me you have a green thumb! Your first grow is GREAT! Just imagine how much better each crop is going to be, because you'll learn something each time! :cheertwo:

Thank you so much for the kind words, our first grow is thanks to all the help we get here. No way in hell we could have done this without all the help we get here. I think we are learning things by the day with this 1st grow and I know we will still have tons of questions.

Blessed Buds to you :circle-of-love:
