I definitely can, however, $91 is a big hit to the Grow Fund, when i need to buy 3 inline fans for the 2 tents i have, plus 2 carbon filters. I also still need to buy rockwool croutons and some more pots to transplant the seedlings into. Plus the 1st of the month approaches.. gotta love the bills!
You're right C1.. i do have my hands full right now. But with all the seeds i have sprouted, i'm not sure how many will make it to flower as I'm not sure what i am doing with these seeds. Remember, I'm not a breeder in any way. I know nothing about cannabis breeding other than ya take some male pollen and ya put it on a bud or two and soon you have seeds developing and waiting to mature. About my "not a breeder" line above, these seeds were created by me (accidentally), and i am growing them out cause they are free and why the hell not. Just want to see if the GWS self pollination produces feminized seeds, as well as see how the GWSxWW cross turns out!
I'm going to flower out everything, unless it turns out to be male, but i have a feeling, all these seeds i'm germinating will turn out female. Then i will harvest them when they are 30-50% amber trichomes, and load up the medicine jars with this free medicine (free for me cause i didn't have to buy seeds, not always the case for patients buying these meds. Will definitely help the bank after all the tents and lights and fans and filters i have spent over $1500 on in the last 2-3 weeks.)
SHIT! i also forgot that the 2 plants in the bathroom need to go into flower in the big tent! Damn.. with the 2 plants in basically the whole 8x8 tent (cause they are easily almost 4ft wide each already) the 3x GWSxWW plus the 11 Self Pollinated GWS are going to have no home to grow in. The 4x4 tent is already being allocated to another grow currently in transit to being started. So that leaves me with having to possibly buy an 8'x4' tent to have these other 14 plants that i want to flower out, or just another 2 600w HID packages that i already have, bringing the total tent wattage in the big tent to 2400w! Which i think might be too much for the apartment but we can always find out!! Might go 1x 1000w and 2x 600w and have the seeds i made under the 1000w light. 14 might be too many for one light tho! fuck! so many things to consider.
Then i have 10 seeds on their way here, and one of them, maybe both, i am going to start growing in september alongside Cannabis 1 in a side by side grow. Trying to mimic similar conditions i think and document how similar we can grow the plant, or in completely different growing methods and see how the plants are similar.
I have WAY too much going on right now! might need to seriously, seriously go down to part time with the job to get all this shit done! Or just get no sleep getting it all done!
I cant say that my plants NEED the Hydroguard, But they thrive with it. Nutrient uptake is much better with a healthier root mass with loads of beneficial microbes that the Aquashield helps promote as well as turning dead material in your reservoir into a useful energy source for your plants. Its highly recommended when germinating seeds, and i swear it annihilates root rot, and is a preventative against it! It doesn't just stop the spread of root rot and Phythium, but literally, new healthy roots emerge from the dying an decaying roots, until theres nothing but cocaine white roots again (unless you're using a powdered mychorrzae product directly in your reservoir like me, Then your roots will be brown, but smelling like healthy roots)
If i'm going to run the original 18 site hydro tub, then Hydroguard is absolutely a must have. The thing is, i'm not sure exactly when the clones will be ready to transplant and turn on the MH lights. I'm thinking within a week tho. my issue is, when i did a test run, with no water in the hydro tub, temps got way out of control inside the box. my hygrometer read something like 35 degress or something!! I'm thinking once theres cold water in the hydro tub, the temps will lower and stabilize much more. Otherwise i'm having to buy an air conditioner unit and run some ducting into the grow box for some super cold air intake.
Anyways, that was quite the rant for this evening. Time for a few pictures of the clones and such!
