Hello Everyone & Welcome to my Sponsored Grow Journal. Yes, I was lucky enough to get sponsored by @ViparSpectra with the KS5000 6 Bar LED Grow Light. This light looks amazing & is extremely bright. Makes me feel like singing.... LOL. "Heaven Let Your Light Shine Down on Me ..... Gonna Let it shine, Gonna Let it Shine. Heaven Let Your Light Shine Down on Me!" Just having a little fun.
Anyways, I've noticed 420 Mag has quite an influx of new members. Hope to get some of those members to join in on this journal.
But for those who don't know me yet, I thought I'd do a short introduction.
I've been growing about 6 years now. Close to 4 years now on 420 MAG & 2 years on another site that no longer exists. Yeah, one day went to the old site & it just magically disappeared. No notice of it shutting down or anything. Crazy Chit !
Luckily for me I had a person I consider a good friend & Master Grower @Emilya Green invite me to this site. So glad she did. I've been on a lot of sites & most are full of drama. 420Mag is much better than most sites as there's lots & lots of folks ready to jump in & help you out in times of need.
Emilya guided me through my very first grow ever & has been a great asset to me ever since. She's amazing !
I'm no master grower, but I do fairly well.... most of the time; but not always. I don't follow the rules of growing to the letter as I believe most of those rules were written for MH / HPS grows. I feel some rules still apply when using LED's & some make no sense at all. I tend to just test things out for myself to see what works the best for me. When I started out I was only yielding 2-4 oz. per plant.
Now I'm pulling about a pound per plant.... so, I must be doing something right. Hope this intrigues some of the newbies to ride along on this grow journey.
This journal will mainly focus on the @ViparSpectra KS5000 grow light & attempting to fill a 4x4 tent area with just one plant in a 12 gal. SIP. Yes, I'm going for the motherload ! I'm going to post how I set my tent up; since I replaced my old tent with a 4x8 Gorilla Grow Tent & had to do the set up anyway. Since I'm only using 1/2 the tent to grow in, I filled the other 1/2 with equipment I use at different stages of my grow. Now, you don't have to have all these things to grow nice big plants. Sometimes I don't even use the stuff. But I'm looking to try to make this my biggest & best grow ever, so I'll be using it as needed. We'll get to the equipment part soon.
I'll be starting this grow from seed. I won some "Runtz Punch" seeds from @Herbies Seeds so I'll be growing one of them for this journal. They are not sponsoring this grow; but are more then welcome to join in & check out the grow. I'll post info on the strain when I plant the seed today.
In this journal I'll also be building a 12 gallon SIP with a Float & an external Reservoir. If all goes as planned this SIP should be double badass !
My plan is to Veg, Top & LST for 8-10 weeks. I'll go as long as 12 weeks if needed. My goal is to fill a 4x4 with one plant.... after all.
I'll tag everyone as soon as I have a list of names together. So get ready to jump in & hold on, because we're fixin' to get rollin'.
Back soon with my Tags !
