Hey everyone, Im back with a new journal with some new cuts that I am running. Lets start this off official with the introduction to the grow.
What strain is it?
Black Cherry Cola: not exactly sure what the genetics are but found this on one website "Airborne G13 X Ortega x C99 x Blackberry x Cherry AK-47 — 20% Indica/80% Sativa"
GDP: Supposedly Big Bud x Purple Eurkle, this is one of my favorite strains. I am excited to have 2 of them
Definitely going to have to keep them around for a while.
Harlequin: A High CBD strain that gives about a 1:1 ratio of THC/CBD, great for the medicinal effects without a full blown high. About a 75%/25% sative/indica and typically produces 4-6% CBD or higher I couldn't find the details on the genetics but the sativa side is supposedly from a columbian gold and a strain from switzerland and the indica side from a Nepal strain.
Purple Dragon: Purple Urkle x Blue dragon (Sour Diesel x Blueberry)
Green Candy OG: Green Cr@ck x Candy Kush (OG x Trainwreck)
Is it in Veg or Flower stage?
Newly transplanted clones I received from a local clone dispensary.
If in Veg... For how long?
I will be running the Gas Lantern Routine for veg with a 144x3w Top Led in my veg tent. They will veg for about 2 months before getting transplanted and placed into my flowering tent with my v-scrog. Topping and supercropping will be done to force multiple tops in prep for the v-scrog.
Indoor or outdoor?
Indoor using a 2x4 hydrohut silver edition, one for veg, one for flowering. Each tent is equipped with a carbons scrubber, fan and lights by Top LED. The veg tent consists of 1x 144x3w reflector series running the GLR on veg only setting. My flower tent consists of 3x Mars II 80x5w LEDs with a v-scrog screen.
Soil or Hydro?
Soil
If soil... what is in your mix?
I am running the soil from my last grow, mixed with about 20% new soil that has cooked for a few months. Both were amended at the same time with the following amendments. Upon re-use, I did not add anything to the mix.
The Base Soil Mix:
Each of these equaled about 2 1/2 (2gallon) pots.
So a total of 5 pots of premixed soil was used
8 (2gallon pots) of ProMix HP
2 (2 gallon pots) of FF Ocean Forest
2 1/2 (2gal pots) of Worm Castings
1 1/2 (2gal pot) of Volcanic Pumice
2 (2gal pot) of Alaskan Forest Humus
The Amendments: Make up 15% of my total soil mix
1 1/2 Cup of Azomite (trace minerals and micronutrients)
4 Cups of Calcium Carbonate Powder 97%
3 1/2 Cups of Soft Rock Phosphate (Collidal Clay with high phosphorus and CEC value)
1 1/3 Cups of Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate)
2 Cups of Crab Meal 2-3-0 23% calcium(also a P source and source of chitin a hormone/growth regulator)
1 1/2 Cups of Fish Bone meal. (3-18-0) 24% Calcium
1 1/2 Cups of Lava Sand (adds trace minerals and supposedly adds paramagnetic value to the soil)
2 Cups of Crab Shell Meal 2-3-0 23% Calcium
2 Cups of Kelp Meal (also has growth hormones and PGR's, plus trace minerals)
1 Cup of Alfalfa Meal. (2-0-3) (contains Trichontinol which aids in plant growth and health)
1/2 Cup of Powdered Humic Acid (Adds Carbons to the soil as well as trace minerals and aids in chelation of minerals)
1/2 Cup of Humboldt Myco's Maximum (Beneficial Bacteria and Mycorrizae Fungus)
1/2 cup of Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulfate)
1/3 Cup of Greensand (0-0-3) (Trace Minerals)
1/2 Cup of Dry Molasses (1-0-3) (Energy for the Microbes)
If soil... What size pot?
3 gallon round plastic for veg, before flowering transplant into 5 gallon plastic square pots.
Size of light?
Answered above:
Veg: Top Led 144x3w reflector series
Flowering 3x Mars II 80x5w LED
Is it aircooled?
The tent is yes, the lights are vented
Temp of Room/cab?
Ranges between 64F-75F in Veg Tent
Between 73-82F in Flowering Tent
RH of Room/cab?
Generally between 40-50%, humidifiers are available if it dips with offshore breezes here in Socal.
PH of media or res?
I don't check it, its soil.
Any Pests ?
Not any currently, I use Spinosad, SNS and other preventative measures to keep it that way
How often are you watering?
Young vegging plants about 1x every week and a half
larger Vegging plants about 1x per week
flowering plants early flowering about 1x per week
flowering late about 1x every 4 days.
Type and strength of ferts used?
Using foliar products including Bloomit, Amaze and PGR.
I also will be using Tand J enterprizes tea and bio minerals
about 1x per month I will be giving a soil drench of earthjuice
Other nutrients on hand include and may be used:
occasional additive include advanced nutrients: carboload, organic b, fulvic acid
occasional additives include general organics: bioweed, cal/mag, hydrolyzed squid, florablend tea, bioroot
bonide liquid fish 2-4-0...love this stuff!
SNS pest products for prevention

I am too tired to update with photo's tonight so tomorrow I promise I will get some photos up and more about the grow.
Welcome everyone!
